Actually, the release of HOTS is kind of an incentive to me to play WoL more.Here are some reasons:

1. They added resume from replay, the new UI and all the good things of HOTS to WoL. Of course the new units are not included and i doubt there will be much more support from Blizzard for WoL, but...
2. No new patches. Yeah, right the game is imbalanced. So what, im playing at Platinum level, do you even consider that I will ever lose a game because of imbalance? No, I lose games because I am too stupid/too slow/too distracted. Imbalance is just an excuse for my own disabilty to play the game properly.Also, the game will not change. Ever. This means that I can play it until I am either a) fed up with it or b) reached the maximum of my potential in this game (which I have not).
3. No new meta game! I will not have to adapt to crazy new styles and learn the counter. This can of course be very interesting and you learn a lot about the game and strategy in general but why should I try and learn this new game when I still have not beaten the old one?
4. Considering this threat there will always be people like me who won't buy HOTS, so there will (hopefully) be enough players on my level left.

So, there are still a few reasons that could lead me to buy HOTS in some time, like

1. Drop in Price. Look at my reasons above for staying at WoL, why would i spend 40 Euros to have basically the same game with a few new units that I dont need?
2. The new campaign. Not really interested in it but might be fun.
3. No players left to play against. Yeah well there is nothing I can do except going back to BW (which would be awesome btw)

Also, if someones gifts this game to me I'll still be playing it I think. This is one of the times where 'I don't need it, but I also don't mind having it' applies.

stay safe, guys

Blizz said it will priced cheaper as an expansion but in reality it costs the more than WoL. At least in my shop WoL costs about $42 and HotS $50. I guess I'll buy it eventually.

If there was cheaper multiplayer only version I'd be completely happy with that.

Huh?! Really?? :-o Is this actually the case? Surely Blizz isn't ripping off the Europeans?


Clearly you are not European (or Australian). Ripping off Europeans and Australians is not only common; it's the industry standard.

Not until it's on sale, and only to play the campaign.

Will not buy HOTS, the reasons are.

1. WOL in digital form when the game was released was too high, I assumed it would be slightly cheaper then buying the physical CD/DVD so I refused to buy it. 1,5 years later I bought the game at sale, played it for a few weeks. (Even after waiting so many years for SC2).

2. Too many kids and crying morons in this game. Because I was new and the game wassnt, because I had played some SC1 before I got some basic macro and an idea how to rush. Every damn game on the ladder (40 games in diamond) people where crying out loud that I was rushing and using cheese. People seem to be extreamly unfriendly in general, claiming that id never become good at the game ever. So, instead of wasting my time with total retards like the majority of SC2 players seem to be I decided to spend my time on watching the streamers I like and playing other games.

3. Dont like the game lobby, the D1/SC1 lobby was the best, after that it only got worse and worse.

4. Not playing any more, just watching streams.

Thats my story for not buying HOTS.

Kind regards to Blizzard

I'll probably borrow someone's account to play the campaign, I'm not interested in multiplayer anymore.

Pre-ordered the CE from Amazon. I would have just gone to the midnight release, but unfortunately I'll be working the next day.

I pre-ordered it about a week ago. Yes, it's kinda expensive, but I get so much out of SC2 that it is worth it without a doubt. I will probably not touch the multi-player until I have at least 95% of the campaign achievements.

With all due respect for everyone saying it's too expensive, but here's my view on it. Basically all we're getting is a new campaign right, since the online competition gets patched if you play WoL too right? (at least thats what I understand). Now say that like WoL there are 25 mission which each take at least half an hour. That's 12,5 hours of play time. I do agree on $/€40 is a bit much, but there are a lot of games with half that play time which are marketed at €60-70 when they first appear on the shelves. Based on this logic I was able to justify buying HotS for myself.

My first born (daughter) due date is around March 14-17th. Combined with full time job + taking a college class = no time for SC2 expansion.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat if they sold a version that allows you to play the multiplayer version of HoTS. I have no desire to pay the extra for the campaign. I have never played any Starcraft campaigns, only multiplayer version. Call me cheap!

Sadly no. I bought WoL because I was thinking the custom games would be sick good like in WC3 TFT but battle.net is kinda crap so there is like no incentive for people to make great customs. Maybe if they clean it up a lot, gonna have to wait and see though.

Of course I preordered.

Easy purchase.

I like the model where I pay for the game once and allowed to play as much as I want.

Even though I still like WoL a lot and don't really feel connected to the new hots stuff I will probably buy it Just because the scene is kinda switching over from what it looks like!

Please, ofc people will buy it. Just look at Star Wars, Episode 1-2-3 sucks and now they're going to do episode 7. It doesn't matter how bad or good it will be, people will just get the badass itches and watch the god damn movie.
