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

Confirmed

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 .

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?

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!).

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!

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 #@$& @$^% @#^$ #^@%#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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?
