You get the portrait (and feat of strength) on your regular account when HotS comes out. Any grinding now after level 5 is just for Beta portraits I guess


Alright it seems like they would also give it to you in the beta though.

Feat of Strength is now awarded when a player is Terran level 5, Zerg level 5 and Protoss level 5.

Not really any more. While the 90 levels in 30 days was an exhilerating challenge, it unfairly favored the unemployed :p

Puting the rewards at level 5 makes the achievements what it should be, rewards for helping test the beta. The one thing that i wish was that more people who wanted to participate in the beta could do so .

I agree that they should award people for playing the beta, but there should be something for reaching level 90. I wouldn't have the time to do so, but it would still be a nice reward to give people.

Actually, anyone who wanted to get into beta could do so. I think that most of the people got in doing amazon preorders, which were free.

level 5 is way to low .... This way everyone has it (or everyone who was in the beta, but that's probably 50+% of people who will play hots when it comes out) .. 0 chance to be 'unique' .. How lovey!
At least they should have made it a bit more challenging, like lvl 15 or 20 or something. level 5 is like 8-10 games/race?
Second place is just a fancy term for loser

Nah. Most pro players don't really care and some haven't even played HotS yet.

Also in terms of regular players, HotS beta probably does not have even half the (current) player base of WoL with level 5 on all portraits.

There's still a ton of people playing WoL on 1 region, than on HotS on global play (basically all regions access the same HotS server).

I definitely like that it's at level 5. As others said, it took way too long to get level 30 on all 3 races (120+ hours total just within a month, and that's it if you do it the optimal way with AI rather than 1v1s). Not only does it take long, it's really boring.

Now I like that I'm playing HotS just to play HotS, rather than grind it out.

Edit - There's already an incentive to play HotS over WoL since you'll have a huge edge over players who didn't try out HotS before once the game comes out (therefore more ladder points and higher rankings!).

I don't agree with the advantage thing. There's going to be a day1 balance patch as always. So any strats from beta are probably going to be non optimal at that point.

This. There is no advantage to playing 1-2 months ahead. Sure you will be higher on the ladder in the first month, but that doesn't really matter in 3-4 months. Better people WILL be better than you and the way the metagame is developed, they will be caught up in no time. Mechanics can still be refined in WoL so the advantage for playing for playing WoL would only be for 1-2 months top.

FYI - These rewards should now be on your account. You get 1 Feat of Strength for each race you got to level 5 (even though the FoS says 30) and the portrait that comes with it.

WTF!!! Learning this makes me want to hang little kittens from my ceiling fan with my mouse. Why in the hell did I reach level 60 with zerg and protoss when all along I only needed to go for level 5. Level 5 IS WAYYYYYY TOO LOW! I have a full time job, and I'm a full time student with a girlfriend and I was able to achieve level 60 within 45 days. Their is no GD excuse for this. This completely destroys the accomplishment I felt for attaining these portraits. Now every damn nub and his little sister is gonna have the icons!!! Quit Reniging on your word you Bliggards #@$& @$^% @#^$ #^@%#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't make it to level 30? Tough shit! But, NOOOOOO! It's the turn of the century, and now everybody gets a "TROPHY." I'm so sick of the pussification. Socialist Scum!!! You take from those who deserve it and give it to those who will waste it!

How does one "waste" a portrait?

I discovered lately something strange - during beta I reached Zerg level 5, but did not touch Terran or Protoss at all (so both level 0), but I have all 3 beta portraits available in WoL. Is it only for me or anyone else noticed similar situation on his/her account?

Seeing this kind of overreaction puts a smile on my face. It's just portraits dude. Three uglyass portraits at that.
Oh and thanks for your followup post, I'm sure Blizzard has a socialist agenda.

Maybe you were too busy joining 4v4 comp stomps to level your z and p to 60, but a number of people were experiencing leveling issues during the beta which warranted this change, as the bigass red paragraph says on the top of OP.

@Galacus With the way they worded their blog, I too thought you needed to level each race to at least 5 for the respective race's portraits. I guess they're feeling generous?

No perfect answer to this but Blizzard made the right call. People's progress was erased and its better to give the rewards to those that didnt fully earn it than have one person who did earn it not get it.

That's weird. I got 30 with Protoss and 5 with the other races I think, but ended up with only the Protoss portrait in WoL.
