I heard the are decreasing the cost of the tempest because his atck is to weak and they are increasing cost of the new terran mines. So basicly hots is beeing tweaked

I expect to hear nothing about HotS from Blizzard until GamesCon. Check the Battle.net blog post. They're unveiling something about the next WoW-expansion, so blizzard definitively has a large presence at GamesCon. Then could be the announced summer-announcement

The leaked ending is most likely real as it's too high quality to be a fake (graphics and voice actors). It's consistant with WoL making Mensk into a major villain, and the Raynor-Kerrigan romance. Also 'the third floor' has been hired by Blizzard to make cinematics.

My thoughts on Hots:

1) Will the Mensk or Raynor use the artifact against the Zerg? It would be weird if they had an artifact that could wipe out vast numbers of Zerg but never used it.

2) How is Kerrigan going to return to Char? Why don't Raynor or Mensk stop her? Why are there Zerg left on Char when the artifact wiped them out?

3) Kerrigan is meant to have amnesia so how much will she remember? Will she know who Raynor and Mensk are? Will she know who the Protoss and Terrans are? Will she know who any of the Zerg Queens and helper are?

4) Kerrigan is trying to strengthen the Zerg to better fight against the Dark Voice. Given that in 'Prophecy 4: In Utter Darkness' the Dark Voice's army was primarily Zerg won't stronger Zerg make it easier for the Dark Voice to conquer everyone?

Also what is the Dark Voice going to fight billions of Zerg with? Even in Prophecy 4 it didn't have a large number of hybrids.

5) Why does Kerrigan care about being the leader of the Zerg? She's supposed to be a human with amnesia, not the Queen of Blades. She has no reason to try and regain control.

6) Kerrigan is mean to be less evil. Does this mean she will feel regret from killing thousands of humans and Protoss? She won't come across as being sincere if she continues to massacre everyone as if nothing has happened.

1) Will the Mensk or Raynor use the artifact against the Zerg? It would be weird if they had an artifact that could wipe out vast numbers of Zerg but never used it.

its possible the blast took alot out of the artifact so it cant be used at all for a long time

its possible that the artifact scatters after the blast

its possible Kerrigan takes a piece or something similar

2) How is Kerrigan going to return to Char? Why don't Raynor or Mensk stop her? Why are there Zerg left on Char when the artifact wiped them out?


why does she need to return to char when shes currently on char?

and the blast didnt affect the entire planet

3) Kerrigan is meant to have amnesia so how much will she remember? Will she know who Raynor and Mensk are? Will she know who the Protoss and Terrans are? Will she know who any of the Zerg Queens and helper are?


from what weve heard of HoTS she remembers everything from before she was infested and flashs of while she was infested

4) Kerrigan is trying to strengthen the Zerg to better fight against the Dark Voice. Given that in 'Prophecy 4: In Utter Darkness' the Dark Voice's army was primarily Zerg won't stronger Zerg make it easier for the Dark Voice to conquer everyone?


Kerrigan doesnt know who the Dark Voice is and your assuming the DV even CAN take control of the swarm while Kerrigan is around

Also what is the Dark Voice going to fight billions of Zerg with? Even in Prophecy 4 it didn't have a large number of hybrids.


the protoss forces its been shown to control, maybe some terran forces it controls, some Zerg hives it managed to steal

5) Why does Kerrigan care about being the leader of the Zerg? She's supposed to be a human with amnesia, not the Queen of Blades. She has no reason to try and regain control.


1. she likes the idea of having power and not having to listen/be under control of others
2. she wants to kill Mengsk and needs an army to pull that off

6) Kerrigan is mean to be less evil. Does this mean she will feel regret from killing thousands of humans and Protoss? She won't come across as being sincere if she continues to massacre everyone as if nothing has happened.


why do you think shes meant to be less evil?

Sarah Kerrigan as a human was not evil so there would be a lack of consistency to make her evil.

so the Sarah Kerrigan who killed many people under the confederate rule wasnt evil?

we dont know how evil Sara Kerrigan is weve never seen her

weve seen her while she couldnt refuse an order from the Confederacy and weve seen her after Mengsk saved her

but weve never seen what sarah would do when theres noone around to tell her what to do and what to think

Not sure where she's supposed to be any less evil, really. She's pissed at the Universe at large and has the means to exact a revenge on said Universe. Raynor will spend his time trying to limit/guide her and remind her about the real dangers, but to her the only thing she wants is Mengsk's head on a platter, and the zerg are a ready and willing army for anyone who wants to grab them. I'm willing to bet she will be less than gentle with anything that gets in her way.

shes not gonna let raynor talk to her, shes been manipulated all her life by everyone shes ever known, shes gonna stike it off alone and burn the universe down

plus its been confirmed that she and raynor split ways like right at the start of HoTS

I didn't say she was going to let him guide her, I said he's going to spend his time trying. After everything that's happened to her Kerrigan isn't going to be a sidekick to anyone.

I will lose all faith in Blizzard if that is indeed the real ending.

From this artwork in HotS
seems like Queen of Blades will be back.

[image loading]


No she won't. The Queen of Blades is dead and should never return.


yeah that will happen... its already established from sneak peaks and short video clips that kerrigan is very much alive, want revenge and takes back control of the swarm with an iron fist.

If she goes completly back to the original queen, probably not, or maybe thats some of the choices we can make.. to have her return at least in looks

I was thinking how the artifact didn't really seem to make her human, but rather both human and zerg. She was first just human before the infestation, then (almost) just zerg, now she's seemingly both. What does this mean?

Btw, feel free to discuss the ending, but do it in spoilers. I personally haven't watched all of it, though I've picked up details here and there. And yes, from what I gather, it looks pretty legit. This is official Blizzard artwork, after all.

I find it odd that it's still out there. Why/how was it leaked anyway?

it was blocked when it came out, blizz relased the kraken upon it and nuked every copy on yoütube (even a version that was called like "pony fairytale <3<3" and even though it didn't feature tags like blizz or hots, it was found.

but we saved the queen (of blades) and downloaded the video, so there are still people uploading them

btw: from blizzcon we see a cgi scene with ultralisks invading shit.
this scene didn't appear in the leak, so we can say for sure that it's changed, mayb just a few scenes but still.
i don't think the ultralisk cinematic will be in the middle (storywise, would make no sense), so it has to be the end.
