With the HotS Beta starting, we have decided to change the SC2 Single Player forum into the HotS Beta forum. This forum will serve as a place to discuss the new units, balance changes and other new features in the first SC2 expansion.

Once HotS is released, the forum will be changed back to allow discussion of the Heart of the Swarm campaign.

Oo, I was way looking forward to this. People could have made cool build orders with the HotS custom, but now they have a place to put them. Go forth, TLers, and allow me to experience HotS Beta vicariously through you! Also, thank you TL!

Some of us actually give a shit about the single player. I dont' see why this needs to be split off when in 9 months time, it'll be classed as the 'one game' to all of us :/

Really good that there's now a HotS section, and I know the single player was quiet and all but then you'll probably get the same problem come HotS where suddenly people want a WoL section which is seperate to the HotS section and "aaaaaahhhhh" could ensue.

Make the HotS section now. Keep single player seperate.
9 months on: HotS section becomes new 'SC2 general' in a merger. Single player becomes "WoL General".

But of course happy there's a HotS section already.

Indeed, a sticky'ed (and often updated) thread that just lists all the modifications / balance changes / unit stats would be great. At the moment you have to skim through dozens of threads to actually grasp what's new in HOTS (and 99% of those threads are just whine about how automine at the start of matches made the game go totally FUBAR...)
I'd be glad to help if such a thread starts (though I don't have access to the beta so I'm probably not the best one to start it)

Ditto--If I can't play, I at least want to be able to theory-craft with some data to back me up. Please, next time one of you lucky people wants to post a long diatribe about auto-mine or the Warhound, please, use that time to give us some numbers to play with.
Make more anything.

I am not in the beta, and i hope to eventually join it. But from the videos of it that i have seen, i found my self unhappy with what i have seen from Protoss. Toss, is my favorite class to play so maybe i have a bias.

Here is my concern about removing carriers:

Originally Terran had their Thor's altered/removed for the implementation of warhounds, which made the concept of removing another classes units seem a tad bit more fair/balanced. But now Terran and Zerg keep EVERY unit that was in wings of liberty. i no longer see a logical reason to remove the carrier.

Is the concept of having carriers with the tempest (the new capital ship) OP? Well it might be except for the fact that it would take ridiculously long in the game to pull it off. This combo wouldn't be something someone can rush and get away with. Lets not forget that both units need their individual fleet beacon upgrades to be worth while. I think it would be unrealistic to assume that this combo would arise in most pro/ladder games. If by chance it does and is still OP, just change the purpose of the tempest in the Protoss ball.

... is it true they added a slect all army button? Somebody told me this on twitch chat- so it probably isn't very reliable.

If it's true though, I think that's over doing it :/

Nevermind should have read the stickies in the HotS subforum first. But you should really copy/paste Pholons message

Note: The SC2 Single Player Forum is now the HotS Beta Forum until the expansion is released, and then it will be the Single Player forum again.


Into the OP of this thread.

Well, this was silly. Unless the software for the forums doesn't allow more than 5 subforums per section there was no reason to basically make disappear forever in a sea of HotS posts all the old SP discussions.
