Didnt choose his path. i dont know exactly what you mean but if your reffering to Nova saying all Specters are phycopathic mass muderers then Hanson saids (if you talk to her after the final mission where you break them out) that theres no evidence that the specterifiying process would make them unstable like Nova claimed | ||

What exactly do you need to know? There's tons of information on Blizzard's site, in this thread, in interviews... just do some reading. Waiting for quality is worth it. | ||

Waiting for quality is worth it. Gonna have to disagree with you there, took Bliz from 10/1998 to 2010 and SC2 had/has a ton of issues from balance to UI to missing features (L word) So I am not convinced that they make good use of their time. What ACTUALLY is happening, is their dev team is ironing out Mists of Pandaria, bliz dota, maybe getting some glitches out of D3... -_- But that's only speaking for the release date, I agree that there is a ton of cool content as far as missions and units and whatnot... I want to see more of the campaign but oh well ;/ anticipation will make the content better i am hoping O.o | ||

That makes no sense, and is totally stupid. They have a Starcraft 2 dev team and also have a Battle.net team. And they have art designers as well. It's not like updating the icon for stimpak means they took time out of balancing it. That would be like the dumbest way to make games ever. But seriously are they going to really have a two-year gap for an expansion? I mean is it going to be Legacy of the Void 2015? | ||

Well do you think they began working on HoTS as soon as SC2 vanilla was finished? Or more likely, did the sc2 team most likely sit idly for a while and twiddle their thumbs waiting for blizz to tell them to go make HoTS (Except for story elements) Which is what happened for ~9 years before and who knows how long now... Sorry if my previous post was unclear in that i dont think they have 1 dev team, they are just allocating their limited resources to different places.. and calling me stupid was unnecessary thanks ^_^ | ||

They weren't working on sc2 for 9 years or whatever. They didn't have a team, so they couldn't sit idly, now could they? Uhm, again, limited resources? They're Blizzard Entertainment. They have a bajillion resources. Awesome shit takes time, regardless of how much money you have. And if you don't think they have 1 dev team, why did you present it as an either/or question, when it obviously isn't? Why did you say "What ACTUALLY is happening, is their dev team is ironing out Mists of Pandaria, bliz dota, maybe getting some glitches out of D3... -_-" when that makes absolutely no sense if you think they have multiple dev teams. I didn't call you stupid. What you said was stupid. I ain't no hater. | ||

I didn't call you stupid. What you said was stupid. I ain't no hater. Thanks, it just sounded a tad abrasive, and I accept that I have a poor working knowledge of Blizzard's inner workings lol~~ The reason I feel that their resources may have been taxed is the recent layoffs of a bunch of game masters and whatever else positions... not development related but shows that Bliz isn't gonna keep people on payroll all the time, only when they are absolutely needed- When I was talking about the 9 years I shoulda said that the team didn't exist, that's what I meant to articulate so id say you are right in that I phrased it wrong haha. Anyway all that aside what I was trying to say is that Bliz as a whole was tied up earlier making SC2 and thus time didn't make it better, and now they are again tied up elsewhere and as such I do not believe that HoTS will be better for it (although still good) I know its rose tinted glasses and such but I still find the story better in BW all around. Even though its just a bunch of lame briefings... The plot arc is more epic (BW campaign is what I play when the internet goes down and minesweeper gets old ^^) | ||
