For me, SC2 is the only game I take somewhat seriously, every other game is just for every now and again fun, so I don't plan on giving SC2 up

The OP is probably right, but I bet those casual players will swing from D3 to HotS once it comes out.... then the D3 expansion will come out....

I'm not worried about casuals,until the expansions run out, it'll be interesting to see what Blizzard will do when that happens. Hopefully they don't take after Zynga.

Yeah you guys have both said what I meant to say, in much more clear and concise terms. Basically, TL.net is a baller Sc2 forum and so most poeple here will probably answer the way they answer.

Yes, some people will choose D3 over SC2. Probably not enough to have any real effect on anything here.

I do not expect to ever return...D3 is game I am waiting to play for nearly 4 years, I literally cant wait even longer. Every announcement, every scrap of information is making waiting even more painful. Battlefield 3 and Skyrim will hopefully help me :D

I'll probably buy D3 and play it for a couple weeks before getting tired of it and returning to Starcraft, my true love.

I only recently started playing sc2 more. I use to only watch since i didn't like to ladder. But getting over that i find it really enjoyable when i have the time between studies.

D3 will be awesome. It's still looks just like d2, however, I'll still play it eventually. With HoTS coming out soon as well I'll be buying it before d3, tight money situation and all.

I'm sure a lot of people will get d3 and play it. But if it's anything like d2 I feel like it'll lose it's enjoyment and people will come back eventually.

Just as a side note: I don't think WoW has 14million. iirc, it lost something like a million sub's over the past 3 quarters. It's down to 10-11 million. Sc2 probably has impacted that some. I definitely quit wow for sc2.

for me it would be the option that I will play D3 more than SC2, which is anything but hard considering I don't touch SC2 more than once every 3 months or so..

I hope so. And that way we can have Bliz actually balance the game around higher level of play and not bronze league.

I will still play both games. I will play Diablo 3 more a week or two after it's release. But nothing can get Starcraft out of my veins.

Im definitely playing d3. Sc2 isnt done. That is its still being patched wildly, still has problem maps for ladder, still has some bugs and glaring issues with bnet and UI, and there are still 2 more expansion packs to come.

It doesnt matter if you miss out on practice because the game will be totally different when I come back. I stopped playing for almost 6 months (maybe a handful of games) and I still keep a spot at mid masters. I'll still be on the same level and improve the same as others because the game is new to all when Im done with d3.


That being said. Probably the best competition for SC2 will be immediately after release of d3 and that will be the best time to play.

I have a friend who plays SC2 very casually alongside other games. Once D3 comes out we are both going to play it like crazy, but I think that StarCraft has this appeal that makes you go back to it. Maybe casual players like myself will play significantly less for a month, but in the long run, I'm not so sure that it will make a big difference. As long as casual players are already consistently playing the game, there is really nothing to compete with or replace that experience.

Not really interested in D3 - played D1 & D2, but after all these years, I just don't think I'm interested in this kind of game anymore. Will definitelly stick with SC2.

Because TL is more hardcore and elitist than the actual player base. You don't rack up hundreds of posts on a game-of-the-month whim =P

Plus D3 is an RPG. SC2 is an RTS. Completely different food groups.

I... don´t get how this games are related other than being made by the same company

Did DeadSpace killed casual FIFA ?
Did SC2 kill Casual WoW?

They are not even the same genre. Casual players usually move on anyways at some point so you could probably post will X hyped new game will kill Casual SC2? The answer will probably be no, people who like to play RTSs (Casually or not) will probably keep on playing SC2 to the extent they want.

Basically this. A more appropriate question would be "Will D3 kill WoW?" or something like that. At least the games are related, but the chances are probably just as low.

They're completely different genres, of course a minority will be moved to the next big thing, but no, I doubt it.

Because D3 doesn't seem like all that much of an improvement from D2, except graphics and maybe the online experience. If D3 wasn't riding off of the success of its predecessor, would it really be that intriguing compared to all the stuff coming out?
