That, and Browder will stop discussing balance while wearing a Terran t-shirt | ||

Apparently, quite a few job openings for Battle.net and related jobs have recently popped up on the Blizzard jobs page. Dunno if it was due to the recent layoffs, but there are definitely more B.net job openings now compared to last summer. | ||

It's an expansion, not a new game (less work). They're already well past their initial estimate for release. They already said 'months, not years' for beta something like 6 months ago. Why would they plan a announcement for a delay? It's far more likely that it's a beta announcement than anything else. | ||

March 9, 2012 we have a major accouncement about our upcomming game" March 9, 2012: "Guess what!!!!!! It's not comming out this year, we are not done yet! How happy are you?! Us too." | ||

Blizzard also want to release the new wow expansion since there is one more coming out and they want to squeeze the last money out the 6th expansion before they release 'titan' which is their new mmo they are working on for those who don't know. WoL apart from bw is possibly the most balance game in the world and due to these reasons blizzard got no real reason to hurry up with the release of HotS apart from sc2 community and some peoples hope of a even more balanced game. Afterall, their true goldmine is wow. I think you are correct in this analysis. At the same time it has not been blown up by the cms as a big announcement. I would say that Diablo hitting the shelves april 17 could be correct. The last expansion for WoW is going to be alot easier to make for them since they have so much experience with developing in that game. The developers of Starcraft 2 has confirmed that several of the changes in HotS is graphical improvements and as far as I know that is going to make it difficult because of compatibility-issues with different graphic cards. At the same time, some of the new units they presented at Blizcon was rather rough and hard to balance. Even more: They are doing a lot to improve the user-generation of content. Blizzard DOTA might very well be an announcement. But the reason Blizzard DOTA seemed to become so much more expensive was among other things problems with the editor. I am pretty sure HOTS will not make it in 2012. Further information: http://www.gamefront.com/starcraft-2-heart-of-the-swarm-insider-insights-on-release-dates-new-units-mmo/ | ||

So its a mistake and someone doesnt know that February 9th is not 3/9... READ. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=305155 Summary from the call that relates to Starcraft II and Esports: * No date or estimate when HotS will be released, It might be released during 2013, might be released today or just cancelled altogether. The usual. * More info about HotS March 9th, that's the only concrete thing regarding the Starcraft II expansion. * Blizzard will take a more active role in Esports during 2012 (Might refer to the their newly created tournament) The link is correct. EDIT: God damn this thread proves which ppl read and who don't Summary: The announcement is HotS related! The announcement will happen tomorrow! (the 9th of march) -_- | ||

"If you want reliable information go to the billing-department" The link is to a call with Blizzards economic sugardaddy Activision. If they are announcing new information on 9/3-2012 you can be pretty sure they will announce something or the stock-markets will loose more confidence in them, which would be a catastrophy for Activision. | ||
