So are we still on the NA server or have we switched to the EU server? Asking as I should be able to participate in the next few upcoming events as I'll be finished with finals relatively soon.

It's not 100% fixed but fixed enough that it became unlikely that we have to go to the Europe server.

At worst, we use the same chat group "Campaign Creations" if we are on the Europe server.

Thank you again, HighZealot, and thank you Ricky and Q for also providing replays. BUT I NEED MORE!

I have compiled an extensive set of replays covering the history of FFS, from July 31, 2010 until today. I have accounted for 168 events, but I am missing information for 65 weeks, by my count. I am mostly missing replays from two big chunks of time: from September 2010-February 2011, and July 2011-December 2011. That was quite a long time ago, so I'm hoping that we have some more archivers/hoarders around here who might have replays laying around. I've also got some more recent gaps that will likely be easier to fill in.

If anyone has replays available for these dates, I would greatly appreciate it if you could upload them here. (NOTE: these dates are all SUNDAYS, so the actual events started on the day prior, depending on your time zones)

I looked for replays. My "Multiplayer" replay folder had over 500 replays dating back to 2012. All of them, every single one, was from my campaign.

I got enough annoyed with the issues related to the reduced auto-kick delays for pending players (introduced in 2.0.9) that I made all those threads :

In ultra short, patch 2.0.9 reduced the delay to auto-kick a pending player to quite low which essentially made many b.net symptoms even worse now. In general, it takes me like 3-4x more time from 2.0.8 to 2.0.9 to get everyone in a lobby due to the many issues.

"Pending player"? What does that mean, exactly? Like someone with an invite to a game?

Usually if a player get invited to a lobby, said player is a "pending player" for said lobby. As you long you didn't fully download the map AND fully joined the lobby, you are "pending" ... until you get auto-kicked after some specific delay.

In patch 2.0.8, the auto-kick delay (vs a pending player) was like 2-3 minutes which is usually enough time to download minor maps AND join the lobby without most of b.net's current issues tied to pending players hits you in the butt.

In patch 2.0.9, the auto-kick delay got reduced to 30 seconds. The change was done due to players' requests since it was possible to slow down or maybe even manage to get a game never started by having an unkickable pending player all the time.

However, the reduced delay makes all the side issues that were minor into much more annoying. This includes auto-kicking way too soon if you didn't download the map in 20-30 seconds flat. If that occurred, there is the confusion that the player refused the invite while in reality, he/she just didn't download/join fast enough.

In addition, it often somehow flagged him/her in some bugged state which you needed to relog just to "unflag" yourself out of that state ... else you are "auto-declining" all future invites to lobbies.

Note : It seems patch 2.0.9 also finally added the ability to kick pending players. Although without a grace period, it seems someone is super abusing it : http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/17069226861

2-3 minutes is enough to download an entire fully-voiced campaign in most third world countries. What the hell do they have that throttled at?

This just sounds like random interns changing values with no idea how the system works or any implications that come as a result of changing them. Exactly what I'd expect out of Blizzard.
