The Protoss stuff sounds really bad, some weird gimmicky unbalancable things again. They should fix the core of the race first and after that add fancy options.
Terran things sound decent. Don't know what to think of the Zerg stuff, have to see them in action first.

If I understand this correctly, the new terran mines are basically a suicide version of terror drones from Red Alert 2? Dustin Bowder you sneaky bastard - trying to sneak in cool things from your past projects :D - this is so awesome. I really like it!

Mines, dark swarm, lurkers, arbiter.
Well it's not exactly the same units but they do seem to work the same, it might help bw players :D

And i really like the health regen for reapers, i'm eager to see the new uses for them.

It has nothing to do with dark swarm, it's more like a worse disruption web, and thoes are not really close to lurker either. Mine mechanic seems strange, but hard to say out of the blue, and mothership still sounds completely stupid honestly.

Entomb and Preordain as Abilities?

I bet some developers play Magic the Gathering! =D

(for those who dont play it, those are two very strong and often played cards)

Awesome changes. I may have to start playing protoss again! If they "fix" the carrier and keep it as a unit, I can see myself switching back for sure.

Summer 2012 beta has me psyched. Hope I get in :D Original sc2 beta was so fun. I really enjoy playing when there are huge sweeping changes being made often.

Protoss gets an extra teleport? At the moment I'm seriously considering buying Brood-War instead and saving 15 bucks for the same game without protoss being able to be out of position for drops and such without it hurting them. Warp-in's or recall, whatever happens you'll know catching a protoss of guard will become harder and harder TT

Note: When I say same game I am of course meaning all "BW-like" units that have found their way into HotS (Warhound, Viper etc..)

A: Yes, we do intend to run a beta test for Heart of the Swarm multiplayer, and we expect it to start sometime in the summer of 2012.

i'm glad they aren't removing the mothership actually. it isn't going to be as powerful since they remove the cloak and give it to the oracle. i think this may be a better expansion than i thought with what they have changed so far; imo anyway. i like the new zerg units and the charge ability that ultras will have. and now hellions will actually be viable late game against protoss. and who knows..... maybe even reapers! i'm excited : )

So basicly terran gets the warhound, a unit that is not really a micro unit. What about making more micro units, blizzard? Marines vs banelings for example is fun to watch.

I don't see the widow mine being used much at higher skill levels if it has a cost and build time. Sounds like an even less useful version of seeker missile.

Still don't like many of the introduced abilities (abduct, burrow charge ultralisk) or the "hero units" which doesn't feel like Starcraft at all to me.

What happened to the Warhounds anti-air attack? Blizz, just bring the Goliath back please.

I believe this build changed the Viper's cloud spell to only affect bio units. This is interesting.

I like the Protoss additions, and the Terran's "Widow Mine"; I'm somewhat disappointed with the Zerg additions though.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

With the mothership staying in, does anyone know the news on HotS Thor? Will the uber unit still be available to terran, or has that idea been trashed?

I agree on the global 'don't change terran too much cos they're too adaptable already' thing but damn they could have thought some more stylish units out, those are ugly as shit.


P.S : Oh and the tempest is horribly unesthetic too

Free spawn every 45 seconds? What?


I'm just wondering how that will work. Like, can we walk around while we wait those 45 seconds?(which really is a long time in game time.) Because then there could be some cool weird zerg defenses where you just burrow your swarm hosts, spawn, then retreat and wait for the cooldown. If you have to stay in the ground during the 45 secs, it has become less cool.

The tempest sounds like so much fun to me. 22 range? mwahahahahahaahahaahahahaha. Tempest rush ALL the games. Oracle seems like there could be some cool harass with oracle into cloak oracle and a ton of blink stalkers, blink in while invisible, kill hatchery, blink out. Mothership seems cool as well.


Everyone theorycrafting balance, put a cork in it. One week after release of HOTS you might have something legitimate to say, which might even then be solvable with the new units. So, just be cool with it, and laugh at how similar some of the untis are to BW
