It seems as if BNet is down, chatter on the forums hints at a new patch, Galaxy Editor which I would have to imagine would be release with the mac client as well. But anticipation always gets your hopes up..

Let's hope though that this does crush our hopes :'(


Edit: Appears 4v4 and 3v3 buttons are glitching so looks like we are getting that today.

This is good!!
but it would be way better if I could play it !
 
I know the new patch is so nice, I love the lava maps. I cannot wait for Mac client to release.
 
I've never seen the lava map actualy...only once but it was one map from a capaigne were the player had to get his worker back each lava alert...

I've watched some replays on Youtube, i must say, the city maps just look absolutly georgous!
