Well, seeing as I've been playing the HotS beta for months already, when I get the retail copy I'll probably playing mostly campaign. Also I'll be watching people stream HotS, because it will probably be a lot more organized when the game actually launches.

Crying like a fangurl, worshipping Kerrigan, playing campaign (without skipping dialogue or cinematics, taking ALL the lore information etc) to death and cry again if it will be awesome (Blizz better won't screw Kerris part up!)
Then replaying it for other branched storyline.
Thank sketching and painting good scenes from it (stuff for like 3 years, should keep me busy)

I'll play the campaign first to see the new units! :D

Then probably play some matches with a friend(s). I don't like playing on ladder too much. :S

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!

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 was thinking about that, but then thought of how messy it could be. Definately going to be checking that out a couple of days before launch though, now I'm just trying new things on HoTS when I'm a bit burnt out on WoL ladder.

Also that, yeah. Can't wait for one more Blizzard collectors edition! =D
Does anyone also have a clue of what'll happen to this forum? Will it get merged, or will they stay separate WoL/HoTS forums?

What he said, but after I finish the campaign on hard. I don't really want to get stuck, which might happen on brutal. I still haven't beat the last WoL mission on brutal.

Campaign!!1

Im so excited for this!! Been waiting for so long for the story to continue! I have completed the one in WoL around 7 times now and I'm getting abit impatient :p


After that I might grab myself some more thousands of ladder games =)

I'll be teaching Primary School kids, daydreaming in the staffroom until I go home and grind the ladder/play some of the story. That or I find a way to work into a maths lesson. :p

WoL Strategy becomes HotS Strategy and this forum goes back to being the Single Player forum.

Definitely checking out the campaign! Will stick it straight on Brutal and get stuck in. As much as I love the multiplayer you can't beat a bit of brand new campaign!! I always try not to finish it too quickly so will probably play alot of ladder inbetween too to eek it out a bit,

Can't wait..

I started some marathon some weeks ago. completed the whole sc1 vanilla + bw campaign (with no skipping missions etc.) taking 40 minutes on the harder missions (didn't want to rush it, didn't skip dialogue) etc and now the same goes for wol. am currently finished with hanson, have to do last mission of Horners mission and on the artifact-missions on typhon.
so basically half-through.
Also will read Flashpoint after it arrived and after i finished wol (so everything is in a chronological order)

lawl :D but was fun

EDIT: Checking it, its cheaper then expected, but still way overbudget haha, now it only costs exactly 1 months rent on my house! cool aye.

Over here!
I thought firstly i do hard to enjoy the story etc, and second day brutal for achievements etc.
But HotS will have less difficulty-options, so i will decide spontaneously. I doubt that i will make it through every mission on brutal in the first/second try.

And even if "hard" will feel boring compared to it.

I think it's better to enjoy campaign on brutal on 1st try. More epic feelings will be when it will end.
