I did not find a thread for this, so I'll ask it here and get a discussion going:
What will you do on HoTS launch day? =D
I'm most likely going to be playing a lot of the campaign at first, playing that through and through, maybe even try and go for achievements. After that, I'll spam ladder like I've never done because most likely, everything's so random! :p I am afraid of what I'll be doing though, as for ''new standard play'' because it'll be awkward for a while I think. Any ideas on that perhaps? =D
Anyway, I'd like to hear your thoughts!

Play the game? I've never played the WoL campaign so I doubt I will play the HoTS campaign.

Anyway, I'd like to hear your thoughts! One thing to avoid the awkward play, is there have already been some decent guides (depending on your level) written in the HOTS forum. You could try reading through those first, some detail out safe-ish openings. They, at the very least, could give you a good idea on when to take gas and build key structures. I think the MsC really changes the early game the most for any race, since it is gas expensive but good in the early game. Even when I play the beta I'm not entirely sure how and when I should work it in.
As for me, I'm definitely going to be playing through the campaign, probably with all of the achievements before I hit the ladder again.

I am a sucker for the single player campaign even though multiplayer is the meat of the game. I will probably just run through the campaign at night then in the morning hop on ladder
|
Play ladder until I get tierd, then campaign.

|
Going to play my placement matches, probably losing all of them to new kinds of cheeses.
Then, depending on if my friends buy it on launch day, I'll either play team games with them (assuming they want to as well) or I'll play the campaign on hard, saving brutal for the second play through.

I'll be doing the same thing I did on WoL launch. Play and finish the campaign before I even touch the Multiplayer. I'll also be doing a marathon of the WoL campaign before HOTS launch day to get refreshed on the story

Campaign of course. Interesting what will happen after epic events in SC: Flashpoint
|
I'll be waiting for my copy to come in the mail.
|
I will play random and I will do the worlds most insane all ins that will work for the sole reason of being new and people won't know how to counter them. I will be the next BitByBit.

I'll be playing the campaign a lot I think, it looks so fun, finish it once at least and then ladder.

Exactly. I enjoyed the WOL campaign a lot.
Also I'm not really impressed with HOTS multiplayer, I feel like the game (at least from the Protoss side) takes a lot less skill than before with the new power of Void Rays (slow and powerful air units are the ultimate a-move units, not even terrain can stop them) and with Photon Overcharge (or Purify or whatever, they keep changing the name) allowing you stop early rushes with one click. I enjoyed holding early pressure and all-ins with actual micro and skill. I may hold off on playing multiplayer until things stabilize a bit balance wise and professionals come up with legitimate strategies.

I will probably finish the campaign on brutal before going to my placements. By that time, the hardcore multiplayer dudes have already gotten placed and the competition should be a cakewalk
|
Do the campaign on like medium or just hard to get through it fast (I really only care bout story lol) then straight to ladder.
|
I will probably find out how many games I can win in a row before losing one on release day. Own dem noobs!
|
Since I have my last exam at that day for this semester, I will likely start massing some games until the new semester
|
I might cancel my Gamestop order and get it on Battle.net so if they allow me to download it before servers go up, then I'll wait until midnight and play ASAP. Probably campaign, as I expect the multiplayer to still be a bit iffy (though it'll probably be fun)!

Brew a pot of green tea, cut some apples and oranges, and break out the metronome. Then crash head long into the ladder at high speed.
