Yeah but thats with guessing... With the map editor we can just import all models and stats. BOOM open beta :D

so say the beta comes out by the end of the month, which from the rumors, it seems rather feasible. Didn't Blizz say something about a 3 month beta? They were talking about that on ITG yesterday. So that would all be in time for a Christmas release. Great time to release a game. And its a great time to release it for the pro scene. Its traditionally a down time of tournaments. that would make the transition from WoL to HotS much smoother.

lets all cross our fingers and hope this happens.

It's not really guessing though. He based it off the stats that were written down from the build that was shown at MLG. Someone on these forums literally wrote down the cost, damage, range, attack speed etc of every unit. I think right now there's only a few things that might be off.

warhound harass drops will be stupidly good i think.
infact, i think warhound dropship micro with the havok missiles is going to be insanely hard to deal with.

it would take alot of work to keep importing every single time something updated

and those who got in beta would still play in beta because it would be easier to find a proper match

Well, don't havok missiles only affect one unit? I think the full Warhound attack would definitely overkill SCV/Probe HP, but it shouldn't be that powerful if it isn't splash damage.

So I downloaded the system checker thing to sign up for the beta and it's not detecting my graphics card. I don't want to send Blizzard some shit specs that won't run SC2 and completely ruin my chance for a beta key. Has anyone else run into this problem?

My graphics card is an nVidia GeForce GTX 670M. Instead, the hardware detector keeps saying my graphics card is a Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000, which is probably the intergrated graphics card. I have Optimus which puts my GPU into standby whenever I'm not playing a game, so maybe that's screwing with the detection. I tried running the app with Starcraft running and my graphics card fully operating, but the damn beta app still doesn't detect it. I've had the same problems with SC2 not detecting my graphics card either, but that isn't a problem since I can change the settings manually.

EDIT: Should probably say that the computer I'm using is a laptop. You know those laptops that are used for Homestory Cup? That's the computer I'm using with a few tweaks to the specs.

I really hope I get a HOTS beta key sooner than later. As a toss though I am a bit worried about HOTS PvZ, and I imagine PvT will become more difficult with the new terran units.

Rumor is very very very very very soon so I'm just prepping for the impending storm. Typically threads like these devolve into begging spam so best to head that off at the pass.


I can confirm this rumor from an inside source. No "Set" date as of now, but reaaalllyyy soon. Get excited

And even if it did, i think stimmed marines still would be superior for harass because of their speed

My understanding is the wonkier your computer build the more likely you are to get into the Beta because they want to test as many configurations as possible. So maybe this is a good thing?

Try to fully enable the Nvidia card to always run for all programs? From what I'm aware the computer will only use the dedicated graphics card for programs that actually need the graphics power. If you've already done that, then I'm no expert, so sorry

I wonder if you'll be guaranteed a beta key if you pre-order the game from certain places, which is how I accidentally ended up with a WoL beta key. If so I probably need to do it pretty soon...
