We're approaching the end of the Legacy of the Void beta! Your feedback has been awesome and we're sincerely thankful to the many testers who participated. Although we'll continue improving the game moving forward, our initial test phase will soon be ending.
From reporting on large issues like game balance, pacing and competition, to bringing up smaller things which deserved more polish, you've all been tremendously helpful! We've pored over your feedback and gotten some truly rich data as a result.
Now that the beta is ending*, we’ll soon be locking the beta feedback forums. If you have any additional feedback to share, we suggest that you write your final post(s) there as soon as possible.
Additionally, we recommend uninstalling your beta client, as the retail version of Legacy of the Void doesn't use the same files as the beta. To do this, select “Beta: Legacy of the Void” from the dropdown in the Battle.net App, then select Options > Uninstall Game. Doing so also gives you back around 13 gigabytes of hard drive space back. Hooray!
*Please note that while we are currently targeting the beta to end on November 2nd, this is only an estimated date and it could change.

Seems my gut feelings were mostly correct. After Open Beta was announced I knew it wouldn't be long before end of beta.
So what are you guys thought? Too soon, or so you think beta is far enough development wise to close the doors?
Personally I feel slightly disappointed with beta overall. Especially at the beginning they did some great changes, but after the first half of beta they seemed to slowly un-develop the game back to HotS. I hope they keep doing big changes after release.

Th-Th-Th-Th-Thats all folks!
Dont expect changes after release, what we see now is what LoTV will be. Kinda disappointing actually.
|
LOTV HYPE! Its confirmed to end on Nov. 2Nd now?
|
Looking forward seeing this played on the highest level.
I really hope the meta won't be as stale as HotS though.
|
What am I going to do for the week between Beta closing and release? Play HoTS or something? Gross!
|
Im glad blizzard tested the ultralisk, prasiticbomb etc with different stats during all those months....
|
Too soon. Not enough changes 
|
Makes me sad for the future of this game, although it was a given with the release coming up.
|
LotV looked pretty cool during the DH qualifier. I just hope they can be spot on when imbalances are revealed.
|
I haven't played lotv beta as much as I wanted, work sucks T T
|
Alright! I had fun and some rage playing 700 games with you. Now.. that 13gb will be useful for Overwatch Beta

I feel you man... Hope they do some big changes after release maybe.

Can't say I liked the direction they were going in, both with economy and units... And as someone that's been playing 2v2 as the main mode in SC for 15 years now, not including it in the beta when the game has even more harass focus and quickly depleting bases makes me worried if team games will be playable at all when it's released.
But I'm not surprised it feels lacklustre - the expansion was forced out by the early decision of making a three-part story, not as a consequence of wanting to realize new and fresh ideas after HOTS, which shows.

There is still sooo much to change and balance which will take a long time after release until everything is balanced, I just hope it wont affect tournament results too much :/

i played some games recently, and i enjoy it i guess, but it is faster than HotS, and games are quicker. i don't hate it really by itself. i do enjoy the aggression now, but protoss has too many activated abilites. i don't even know where to start sometimes, and tabbing through is impractical. still, there aren't enough control groups either. it is a bit uncoordinated imo.
what bothers me is the giant raw spirit bomb of making video games that is blizzard is clearly missing out on the opportunity to really make the game something amazing. so much is missing, and we will even get to see it in the campaign, taunting us that it should arbitrarily be "campaign only". shield batteries, dark archons, goliaths, even lurkers were in since WoL...
they would have to break down and add in many units in this expansion and abandon their "only exciting changes" philosophy. we all know they could never do this. we needed more economy changes than the starting and ending points. we provided evidence which was misread or something. we haven't seen new skins since the launch of HotS and i really don't think we will get much more than the collector's skins.
the problem is that we know they are fully capable of doing all of this, but obviously can't bring themselves to. even if they are hiding 8 skins from us, do you really think the abathur voice pack is coming? what about color selection? those are not important enough i guess? "the technology isn't there"?
perhaps Starcraft 3 will be far enough away to give us miss chance and the game can be more Brood War like without being too much like Brood War? was that really an issue for this game? there's just so much wasted potential, imo. this is blizzard, and it should show, and not just in the campaign or their new fancy custom hero mode.

Beyond the state of the Cyclone and the lack of Infestor changes everything I hated about the game is better at this point even (and by that I mean a bunch of baddies playing non professional level games)
No more three base deathballs, it's simply not viable, expand or die baby, by far the best changes to the game.
Colossus play extinct in favor of a unit that actually demonstrates skill to play with/against (Disruptor metagame going to be amazing and really raise the skill cap of PvX)
Zerg finally feels like a complete race with a strong space control unit, early offensive unit in the Ravager and a more reliable answer to mass air (PB)
Terran is as beastly as they always have been with a few new toys that are probably going to get taken away (Looking right at you Siege Tank drop, not OP just stupid)
You guys have to remember that the actual meta is set by the top 50 Korean GM players, once they start playing LOTV tournaments balance patches will follow suite, it's going to take probably about a year with some wildly swinging tournament results but such is the nature of Starcraft.
Anyone who thought the game was going to be picture perfect right after Beta obviously hasn't seen the state of the game post WOL and HOTS beta lol
|
So we're getting that awkward CB in LotV ? Please.
|
It was good for a while with the heavily reduced macro mechanics but DK quickly regressed back into what he wanted instead of what we wanted for release.
|
Feels like this game is coming out waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too soon. It still needs so much work. I can't imagine the campaign is going to be very polished either. The HotS campaign was so childishly easy and one-dimensional compared to the masterpiece that was the WoL campaign.
I'm not sure if I will purchase this game.

put your hope in mods, with no more expansions to look forward to, now is the time to mod the game in the direction the community wants
