I don't want a special skin for the Ultralisk, after all it's HOTS Expansion and I expect to have a special skin for one of the HOTS zerg units. Swarm Host > Viper.

when Hots will come out in your opinion?

I'd say Beta starts this week (Tuesday).

That lasts a minimum of three months, maybe more.

So we are looking at a possible end of the beta by early December. How long will it take to go from end of Beta to release? I have no experience in these things but I'd say it would be extremely tight scheduling for them to release it before Christmas, so my best guess is mid January 2013.

It's certainly not coming out this year. I think Blizz told investors they'd have two releases this year, and those are D3 and the WoW expansion.

I'd say it's going to be released November or December. If it isn't this year then canceling Blizzcon was pointless.

It won't get released this year, It'll probably see release sometime in Q2 2013 if we're lucky.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but this is what I just found in WoW.

I am not at all optimistic there will be a christmas release. While they have always indicated that the beta for hots will not last as long, and even went as far as to say at one point 2 months from beta start they took half a year on WoL and 3/4 of a year on D3.

They will probably try to push for Christmas regardless as thats their job but we just have to see

Growing ever more sceptic that it will come out this year. I've not completely given up, but it's growing ever more bleak.

Maybe.. They keep saying sp is pretty much done. After beta is balanced and ready to roll out they should be good to go. I'd say 3 month beta. Thats how long WOL was and they were patching and balancing EVERY unit. Here its only a couple and fixing old ones to work with the new ones and still not mess up the whole game.

Anyways I'd say it should be out for Christmas.

Worst case Jan 2013.

I can't recall from the wol release or any recent world of warcraft xpac releases, but how did folks manage that bought the CE but still wanted to log on right when the servers came up (barring midnight releases and such)? Does blizzard let you upgrade to a CE with a CE key from a box if you already have the digital edition tied to you account? I vaguely remember people talking about this at the wol release, but not sure now.
