Well you don't because they updated Wings of Liberty too.

Hey good on 'em.

Should have come a while ago, but at least they fixed it for WoL.

Yeah, it's totally free, because Brood War was free, too! And WC3's Frozen Throne was, too (WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO PAY FOR A POPULATION CAP INCREASE?!?!)

Tsk tsk tsk

Love all of his work!

 

[Aylinato]

HOTS beta achievements are live in WoL

I know what I'm doing over spring break

 

[Yoshichan]

When I took a powernap at work today, I dreamt of a new race and it was a huge surprise to everyone.. It was OP as fuck.

Spoiler

But still lost to zerg.

The HOTS C.E is now sold out at amazon, here's hoping my Bestbuy local in-store pickup will pull through! During the Diablo 3 midnight launch they gave handed out D3 posters, they will most likely do the same for the HOTS BB Midnight launch!

 

[fluffydelusions]

Is anyone buying the game from gamestop if so I have a $10 off coupon from my powerup rewards. I have 2 actually but I'm using 1 of them. I'll sell for $5 if anyone is interested and I can just email it to you. Just PM me.

 

[Zerokku]

How hard was it to level in the beta?

Hmmm, powernap sounds great. Need to pull a George Constanza and sneak one in under the desk.

Incredibly easy.

 

[Boken]

Why do zerg suck again?

Incredibly easy.

Good to hear. I really want that War Pigs skin for Marines hahaha.

 

[profit]

Anyone know when the finals will be played for IEM? Tomorrow?

 

[EscapingJail]

They don't suck, they just aren't the best anymore.

Also thanks guys.

New promo video: Zerg Attack -- Humanity Fights Back #SwarmLaunch

 

[Sibylus]

So I've been meaning to first time play the Starcraft 1 campaign (via this mod) and the Wings of Liberty campaign before Heart of the Swarm drops, roughly how many hours of play would that take? Should I just put off HOTS campaign for a few days and dig into multi?

 

[Yoshichan]

Soon... Soon!!!!!!!! Gjxgfkoggkfudbjoy

 

[Holden]

had to post this gif, to show how awesome it is

 

[fanboi]

I remember that game and was thinking... he will just forcefield off and then he has to move back... BUT I WAS SO WRONG.

 

[AlterOdin]

Damn, laughing so hard right now. This should be the commercial if they ever port it to consoles.

where are you getting these pics?

Day9 doing his scream at around 50 seconds in? :lol nice Easter Egg.

[mbmonk]

So I get this for free right? Because a lot of the improvements should have come for free years ago instead of charged money for.

I'm so glad people get to pay for global play.

How experienced are you with RTS games? It also depends on what difficulty you choose for SC2. For SC2 i'd say you could do it in around 10 hours. SC1 + BW takes longer than that and it is harder than SC2's campaign, in fact if you haven't played many RTS's the campaign can be fairly hard to win at all.

It would be hard to do before HOTS unless you have a decent bit of time.

Brutal is harder than SC1 + BW's campaign.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Well that's your opinion. I found brutal to be pretty easy really :/. The last few campaign missions in BW were much harder IMO.

Meh, you just need to spam hydras off of a couple of hatches to win the last zerg mission in BW. I found All In and the optional final protoss mission much harder.

Global play is in wol

edit: oh hey this has been responded to already whoops

 

[Paches]

Sorry if this was answered, but how does the pre-load work for this.

 

[(._.)]

Pro players are starting to complain on twitter again about balance. Feels like 2010 all over again. A lot of games are really awkward to watch again. Like you can tell we have many months before players really figure the game out and it's meta expands. Awkward GSL finals incoming!!!

Personally at the moment I dont really care, a lot of the IEM games have been more interesting to watch than most of the balanced WoL stuff the past year.

Are most people who are part of the NeoGAF group in Master league? It's kinda intimidating, heh.

i think atm, its only EscapingJail and striek.

I've stopped playing, i don't know if Shake or any other master player still plays.

i'd say most players turn around gold to diamond. Could be wrong haha

That would be surprising if true. Gold league forever!

Hm, maybe I just keep checking their profiles and then freaking out about how I'm part of a group that's out of my league. I was master back when I played regularly a few months ago but I'm pretty cemented in diamond now.

Well my NA acc is currently in silver and I think I'm in the group too. My main (EU) is diamond though, so I'm not master either.

Gold zerg here. Hope all the new people blow up the ladder so moving higher isn't fuckin impossible.

Post game numbers show my average 200 APM. More than goody and he's pro.

Grew up with RTSes, though me actually trying to be any good at them is more a recent development. Thanks for the info! May just take my time with them and hop into Swarm's campaign once I'm done with WoL's.

 

[AppleSmack]

Anyone got some must-watch heart of the swarm videos about how the new units will effect playstyles in heart of the swarm? Some new builds by pros maybe?

 

[calder]

That was minigun vs kOre in some random KOTH


Ah here: youtube clip

Haha (not a new unit)

I don't really have anything right now, but I've been watching a lot of Husky's HotS casts. There was one specific video that made it seem that a Swarm Host rush would act like an anti FFE in a ZvP.

Oh wow, that is some major defenders advantage there.

 

[(._.)]

2010? you mean 2010 2011 and 2012?

Certain match^s at least fleshed out a bit in 2011 and 12. 2010 was by far the worst though and I'm a little worried how good the next GSL is gonna be. Either way finals on tonight, RIP WOL.
