EPTSo are the next two games going to be "Expansions" as in you need WoL to play HotS?
Yes. They've always been expansions.
Not just new units in the sc2 expansions - Page 7

TL's mods must have been feeling nice. People should realize that there is a lot they can do to expand on multiplayer besides JUST adding new units. They can add new terrain and map features. They can add new unit types, and change around existing types slightly. Wouldn't it be cool if some stuff had +damage to Psionic, for example? They can add new upgrades and abilities, things which are not strictly units. Lot of flame in this thread, not much thought. | ||

But if he isn't, the roach could heal just as fast above ground in the alpha/early beta and it was clearly broken (if i recall). Making the roach heal at the same rate above ground and below would be fine. You just need to tweak their damage, range, move speed, health, and armor. Then, you have a unique unit ... one that can will heal itself quickly, rather than the boring unit it is now. | ||

Something to research at the Dark Shrine would be nice so it isn't just a giant sign saying "hey, I'm going DT's, look at my waving phallus" Well, considering after there's detection out they're basically shitty Zealots, I propose..

Remember goliath range and ultralisk upgrades? I | ||

That's just like throwing out that zealots are boring...you are just saying it is so, without any reason or explanation. | ||

Its funny how people dont seem to see the contradiction in something like that. If they were to bring back lurkers, vessels, vultures, or whatever other BW unit, since they would be bringing it back, it wouldnt be a new unit. And also, quite honestly, that would never happen (bringing back the old units) If their marketing scheme for WoL was just "Hey! we removed all the new units, and added back all of the old BW units into the game! Now its just BW with shiny graphics, and a different engine, enjoy!", then that wouldnt work, obviously. Nostalgia is nice, but if all you want is for SC2 to be BW, then you should probably play BW instead. | ||

They are super expensive super awesome zealots! Any toss lategame army should be replkacing zealots with DTs progressively, their sheer dps when massed, with some units behind makes them incredibly scary. | ||

That would be true, if it weren't for the fact that DTs are quite slow and extremely fragile. If you try running 10 DTs (instead of ~25-30 Zealots) into a late-game MMM ball with detection, it will make you cry. Zealots can remain relevant in the late game because of Charge and their awesome HP for cost, DTs have neither of those things. It's just impossible to keep them alive for long enough to take advantage of their DPS if your opponent has detection in place. | ||

If you remember, Brood War added some key upgrades that made existing units even more useful (Goliath Range, Ultralisk Armor). Reaper mines, anyone? That would actually be pretty cool. Honestly, right now I just want Blizz to experiment with the supply cap, or give supply cap options etc. | ||
