(Vote): no
Do you think when HoTS comes out that there will be a whole new set of icons and that all the icons(portraits) that people have collected will be. I personally play team games as random partly to learn about the races i don't play but mostly just to get the team random 1000 icon, i'm nowhere near it. I'd be so pissed if i played 1700 team games only to end up losing my awesome icon. So does anyone know if a whole new set of portraits is going to come out with HoTS and would you feel like blizz screwed you if you couldn't use your WoL icons in HoTS and does anyone know if Blizz is going to come out with a whole new set of icons for it?
With WC3 at least Blizz did release a whole new set of icons for the expansion in case you didn't know.
|
Theyre probably just going to be new additional ones, I highly doubt they will replace the current ones.
|
Seriously we're now making predictions on what happens to icons in an expansion pack completely out of nowhere with no evidence that they'd be changed in any way?
Actually let me revise that:
Seriously we're talking about icons??!

3-6 new multiplayer icons + npc/characters from the campaign sounds very likely
|
Wow, people actually care about those? 
|
|
|
there will be all new ones
the old ones will hopefully be unobtainable
blah blah blah it's the way it should and will be
|
I doubt there is enough stuff in the Starcraft universe to make a whole new set of portraits. M yguess is that there will be just some new achievements with accompanying portraits in hots.
|
I doubted artanis would go from looking like a wimp to a body builder but it happened 
|
TL.net may earn a special icon if we can rack up enough OPs about icons.
|
So long as they don't take away my baller default portrait I couldn't care less.
|
I dont think they are gonna change the icons, might do touch ups but even that seems very unlikely(they already look decent).
Honestly I dont see the point of this thread untill we actually hear from blizz about HOTS and what they have planned.
|
They'll most likely add on more portraits. Its enough that Blizzard has people complain about balance and hackers, you think they want people top it off with lost portaits/icons when HotS comes out?!
Who cares tbh
|
I'm more afraid of SC2 multiplayer being inaccessible if I don't buy the "upgrade". Who cares about avatars?
|
I really do not think Blizzard will remove people's achievements
It makes no sense, what if some1 does not buy HotS? He loses his earned portraits? Or does he lose his portrait as soon as he buys HotS and adds it to his account?
If you thought about HotS having separate avatars than WoL that's another story, but what more is there to add, really?
And another unrelated thing: please change the title, it's so misleading! I came here hungry for leaked SC2 content, then I see an assumption and a poll.
|
panda icon is the best icon.
|
Default will be a drone with earmuffs and a trucker hat. Other options will include some other drone, a feminine drone and a black drone.
|
I don't think they'll delete any existing avs, only add additional ones. Campaign related, buying limited edition boxset and maybe extra ones for 1000+ wins.
WTB peadobear marine avatar and emoticon decals

I'm not sure why people are so obsessed with portraits...or why the extremely high likelihood that new portraits will accompany a new expansion is note worthy and requires its own thread.
|
Just as a side question... (perhaps dumb) but is HoTS going to have a completely different BNet multiplayer server thing? Like Broodwar and SC1 Original, are player able to play together? Or are HoTS playing with themselves and original playing with themselves?
|
I just want more variety. Could care less about a reset though.

I guess when you click MULTIPLAYER button, the game will ask you which client you want to play WoL or HotS (if you own both clients), same with SINGLEPLAYER
i don't think portraits will be erased

is this the case? I was under the impression SC2 was being released in a series (for single player) not as true expansions such as WoW:Cataclysm etc. Meaning that if you buy any of the SC2 single players you have full MP access. Is this not the case?
|
Won't care at all, but I bet they add additional ones before they take away any current ones
|
Why does everyone have to hate on people who appreciate the virtual rewards they're giving? You don't have to care about them if you want, but don't be such a douche about it. Yes, they're 'just pixels', NEWS FLASH: the whole game is 'just pixels', and our whole universe is 'just atoms', what the fuck is your point? It's a natural human tendency to care about things like achievements and in-game rewards, and if you don't you're in the minority and you don't have to be an ass just because you value different things differently.
That said I see absolutely no evidence or reasoning to suggest why they would do this.. It would make absolutely no sense, there would be no technical reason for it, they can easily just add more portraits. I don't understand why you made a topic about it, without ANY INKLING of an idea why they would do this?
|
I don't care, I've been using the firebat forever.
I would love some BW portraits though. ^_^
I'd use the shit out of a BW defiler portrait.
|
achievement reset is something you should never do, adding new ones yes delete/reset the old ones no .
About the hots wol question they want to do it like wow if they add new multiplayer units. Otherwise it won't be necessary :p.
Firstly it was said you only need one version for multiplayer, but the we want more unit demand is probably to high and they already seems to go the way of adding new units. (Also i think their first plan was to release the parts in like 2 month ratio, which kinda failed pretty early hehe)
|
have not fear of them taking away your e-goodies, this is the same company that makes wow... they know... oh they know the rage of nerd
|
It's amazing to me what people will do to get some random picture on the side of their name.

I think HoTS will have it's own ladder, just as in StarCraft 1, there was a separation between regular SC and BroodWar.
Aside from that, it's going to be a long time until HoTS comes out.
It's projected to come out in 2012 at the earliest...
|
Wait... so WoL, HoTS, and LotV is going to all have different ladders..?

Presumably with the expansions will come new units like with BW. Probably. What that will mean for the ladder is up to Blizzard, I doubt they have it figured out yet.
|
They will likely add new portraits and just keep the old ones. If they removed them I think it would cause too much of an uproar.

Ill just re earn my hydra. no biggie.
