EPTAs far as how we'll deal with the SC strategy forum vs SC2 strategy forum, there'll probably be a tab to switch between SC and SC2 on the left, or something like that. We'll see, the actual game still wont be out for almost another year most likely, after all.

When you think about it, this is the time that most Blizzard employees will be taking their holidays. They will have a nice break and come back refreshed and ready for the Beta. | ||

Beta seems unlikely till early next year though. Blizzard time is almost as bad as Valve time. | ||

If it happened later today it would not surprise me, but within two weeks is not that bad of a guess in my mind. | ||

They spontaneously notified all the twitter contest winners after a three month wait and restarted the comic contest. They are merging WoW into bnet 2.0 in just a few days. We even have a quote from browder saying something along the lines of "it might not be until nov/dec". They've had about 4? months since they said there would be a delay. That is a lot of development time, enough to do quite a bit, actually. They will have another four+ months to work on battle.net during the beta, so they don't even have to completely finish it. If it happened later today it would not surprise me, but within two weeks is not that bad of a guess in my mind. We have expected beta for a very long time (infact, we have been expecting for about a year now), but it has yet to manifest. I guess that after waiting for so long, people perfer to remain skeptical then get optimistic and possibily dissapointed again. | ||

I'm all hoped out >.< | ||

It doesn't make much sense to open the beta across winter break - I would assume at least some staff will be on vacation, and there will be much maintenance (both of the beta system and of game balance/content) to be done. So it's now or never. | ||

http://investor.activision.com/events.cfm (nov 5th) About 40 minutes in, Morhaime said something along the lines of: ... [For SC2] We are targetting a release in the first half of 2010, and are still driving hard towards the beta... So basically just confirmation of their Blizzcon statement I guess. | ||

Once a pylon is built by a probe, the protoss player can build any building within the pylons range without having to use another probe. The building simply warps itself into the battlefield. | ||

There better be a lot of people making vods cause god knows even if I was in the beta I wouldn't have any time for it until December. I wonder how long they'll run the beta for? I reckon much longer than the past games, I'm betting on at least 8 months, possibly over a year. | ||

The building simply warps itself into the battlefield. That would bring far, let me emphasise FAR, too many balance issues with it. Invincible proxies where the worker can't be killed and easy cannon rushes, there's just so much that would be wrong with that being implemented, unless this is trolling. | ||
