I got the starcraft II beta, yay!
Throught, there is one question in my mind (it's the first time I have a Beta), when the beta will be closed (which means, no longer needs to log on with a account having a beta-key), will they release a new sc2 installer or will beta testers can update their beta to a non-beta version (huh ? :D)

Beta testers still need to buy the game. The beta will end when the retail version comes out, if not a little earlier.

New installer more than likely. The beta doesn't even have the campaign and other functionality.

That's not what he was asking Joker.

I too just got my beta, played some, but got annoyed about how quickly people killed me... and I was even on the beginner level, I really suck.

But I only want SC2 for the custom games anyways, I think I would rather wait for the actual game with the galaxy editor...

If you play 15-20 rounds, It does alot better job of getting you players of your skill level.

Maybe the beta will become the demo version of the retailed SC2 product...

Not sure though.

If they even make a demo. I think that era of gaming has sort of passed. Those were mostly to be used as CD inserts in computer magazines. Blizzard might cling to traditions a bit longer though.

But if it's like previous ones, you will only be able to play as one race (probably terran) on only 1 map. I think that's how the first one worked.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
