I was really hoping they were just waiting for the conversion of WoW accounts to BNet to release the beta. Guess it's gonna be longer... | ||

+ Show Spoiler + duh broodwar when I first heard they were pushing beta back (repeatedly) I was upset cause I wanted to play sooo bad. But now I feel like "whatev" cause I fell back in love with Broodwar. Largely in part to iccup and the awesome tl.net. I feel like im playing a new game everytime I play. And following pro/foreigner SC is just so amazing. So.... in short thank you teamliquid! | ||

I don't consider this a project thats taken like, 5 years, or 4 or however many they've actually been making it for, as far as I'm concerned, starcraft 2 is over a decade overdue. Therefore, the normal patience I have for blizzard games...kinda diminished. | ||

The game is 100% ready for beta, they've even said so themselves. Why do you think they were saying they were gonna release beta during the summer, then said they had to push it back due to battle.net 2.0 problems? At this point there are 2 potential issues: 1 - Single Player is more than 6 months away from being ready, thus they can't start beta because there'd be too big a gap between beta and release. 2 - Battle.net 2.0 is not ready. Pick one. | ||

A: Tomorrow (laughter). Of course not. Usually Blizzard we're not talking about dates. While we plan for next year to do a beta test. As soon as we feel that the game is released we will release it soon. The fact that this is a Google-translated Russian transcription of a live event, the fact that Beta in Russia won't start until 2010 regardless (even if its late November/December here, it's gonna take a while to get everything up and running), and the fact that even in the US, they're still going to be doing the bulk of their Beta testing in 2010 (hence, possibly we're "doing a Beta test" next year...anyone?) all don't exactly add to the veracity of this story. Especially as this is the only source for this "scoop" I've been able to find. Now, again, this could very well be true...but, come on, this just isn't convincing stuff. At all. When Karune or Cydra or someone official confirms it, yeah, I'll be sad. But at this point, I'm becoming less and less convinced of the veracity of this extremely-overhyped-yet-largely-groundless rumor by the moment. Hold your horses, people... | ||

And Valve said the source code leak was what held back the release of Half Life 2. Let's consider some facts: 1 - In May~June 2009, Blizzard started sending out beta invites to some handpicked players (you can find a newspost about it here), as well as telling gaming journalists to prepare themselves by making battle.net accounts. 2 - They then followed that up by announcing "beta this summer". 3 - They then cancelled this citing Battle.net 2.0 as the reason, and moved beta to "late 2009". Now, you could be all paranoid about this and think it has something to do with the multiplayer not being ready, but why would you? Everyone who has played the game seems to think it's more or less ready to go into beta, Blizzard are saying it's ready to go into beta... There have been NO big changes to multiplayer in a looooooooong time. When was the last time you saw a unit cut? Aside from the macro mechanics, that are almost a year old by now, when was the last time you saw a new feature? Maybe it's not Battle.net 2.0 that's holding things back, maybe it's single player. Maybe it's Modern Warfare being released and them not wanting to collide with it. Maybe the reading in goats innards suggested they push it back, I don't know, I'm just fairly sure it has nothing to do with multiplayer gameplay. | ||

Obviously it must be economically for them to spend so much time on this game when you bet they will not only be drawing the $60 x 3 times from loving bw fans from this game it will also be reaching in your pocket at every corner of bnet 2.0. The long wait is probably just a time delay to let more people forget about BW and than when they release starcraft 2 everybody wants to go buy and play. Infinity ward was killed by activision and now its blizzard turn and I do blame all of this on greedy activision. But F them they are not getting a penny from me for this. okay. If you are buying MW2 because you love it, wouldn't that be obvious you will be paying for $60 x 3 if MW 3 and 4 are coming out in the future? and use "then", not than | ||

Whoever their lead art designer is just has bad taste, it's probably Samwise I would assume. No matter what the issue is that's causing the delay, I would guess that they are already working on the first expansion because it seems completely impossible that the art team and all the other teams would have something to work on still. Also, imo they should just skip beta and launch the game imbalanced. Maybe do a 2 week stress test for bnet 2.0 then launch. | ||

Because North America and Australia are suppose to get beta first, and this quote did come out of a Q&A in Russia. I know i'm just trying to be optimistic.. but do you think (or is there anyone that is fluent enough to do their own translation) that they could have been refering to the start of the Russian beta not the entire beta process? | ||

It sounds like everyone is delayed until 2010 unfortunately. If it was Russians only then the answer would have probably specified it abit further, but instead they simply said that the beta will be released in 2010, which would sound like it's the entire thing. | ||

I'm not sure anything has been confirmed yet, although that isn't to say it's wrong. I guess what I'm trying to say is that when it was clear SC2 wasn't going to be released this year, Blizzard put up an announcement on the battle.net forums. I expect the same would happen for the beta especially considering all the times in the past where they "confirmed" that it would happen 2009. In a sense, because they haven't posted anything yet it might mean that are still optimistic of a 2009 beta release. Either that, or the public isn't even worth it anymore to bother such an announcement. Given the silence with the recent activities, either scenario could be true. | ||

He was talking about beta in general and not specifically about a Russian beta. ![]() About Mike Morhaime contradicting that. Where did you read it? Don't remember him saying anything other that the development team is working hard towards beta - which they in fact are. This does not contradict Chris' statement though. Also crushes the speculation that he was only referring to Russian beta as well. | ||

It hurts to hear that they are working with fan feedback and they know the best fan feedback is gongi to come after they give us the beta. until then we don't really know shit in terms of balance and feel. Theorycrafting can only go so far. | ||

november 2009 SC2 first half of 2010 WoW: cataclysm 3.3(will be released this or next month) is supposed to be the last content patch for WoW http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=20464486377&postId=203051101516&sid=1#1 after the last content patch usualy takes half year to release the next expansion. so 2010 june... if the WoW exp will be released in june than there is no way SC2 comes out in the first half of 2010 if SC2 comes out in the first half of 2010(beta in jan or feb) they need to delay the WoW exp and release another content patch. WoW ppl will cry so it's unlikely ![]() one thing is certain. they need to release a beta early next year. if it's the WoW exp beta we are fucked and SC2 will be released in Q4 2010:s | ||

Why is everyone acting like WoW and SC2 are linked in development? The development teams for the two games are *entirely* separate. Do you think they could have gotten this far without having separate teams? WoW has been in development constantly since it's been released, if Blizzard couldn't work on other games at the same time they woudn't have even gotten this far. As for waiting, you must not be used to pre-launch game hype, let along Blizzard pre-launch game hype. It's pretty much the definition of waiting. If you don't want to wait, just find something else to do with your extra time than following every step of SC2 development. | ||

Until they do that, then yes, they can shuffle devs around as much as they want because they do not have to worry about committing to running the beta. If this is the case then I think the biggest delay will in fact be... right now. | ||

If you don't want to wait, just find something else to do with your extra time than following every step of SC2 development. But Blizzard's resources are still finite. Spending more on wow, hiring more staff, putting more money toward development, paying more overtime, buying and maintaining better servers etc, ultimately means less of is spent on similar things for games we at teamliquid prefer. A dollar spent on a wow expansion is a dollar not spent developing starcraft 2. This might not hold true for time since they have separate development teams with separate skills, but it still holds true for money. TL is not the center of the universe, and blizzard makes much more money selling wow subscriptions; it makes more sense for them to spend more time and money on wow, even if it comes at the expense of their other games. I'm still surprised they ever announced sc2 given how successful wow has been. I'm betting that each dollar spent developing and refining wow yields them a higher return than each to be spent on sc2 will end up earning them. Wow just appeals to such a gigantic audience, it doesn't matter if it's a "worse" game. If they manage to secure a pretty sweet deal with broadcasters and sc2 as a competitive televised game grows in popularity, maybe my guess will be wrong(it'll be impossible to find out either way, of course). Remember, the game has to come out like 6-12 months after they begin the beta, so the beta is like a practically finished game. I'm kinda glad they're taking their time refining it. I'd personally rather have them release it later but have a very balanced first ladder season than have them release it earlier and have the first few months of the game's ladder suck balls and be hideously imbalanced (war3). | ||

Stuff with ratings and copyright and such. I could be wrong, but that's the only thing that comes to mind with a delay such as this. The game does seem to be beta ready and yes, bnet 2.0 doesn't seem like that much of a stretch, unless theyre trying to develop their own software, or build infrastructure or something. I don't know if that's something that can be checked up on, but multi-national legal problems could be a source of delay without reason. just a theory but are they releasing a foreign language (eg English) beta as well as the english? this may be slowing them down? Fixed Blizzard outsourced the scripting to S. Korea and got Korean voice actors, since there are more customers there and the rest of it's employees can work on WoW. Actually, that would be interesting if the game came out in both languages and you could toggle them as an option. It might make listening to Korean commentators harder for those who don't speak Korean, but... | ||

All I see is a bunch of people bitching at the company who made the BEST GAME EVER and sold it for 20 bucks and still host the online play ELEVEN YEARS later for FREE, about not making the NEXT best game ever fast and good enough. All I see is a bunch of self styled game theory EXPERTS who think they are smarter than the entire SC2 development team bitching about how bad sc2 is going to be, with only the battle reports to judge by. If you saw Dustin Browder in the street, what would you say to him? Would you run up to him, kick him in the balls, and yell "HOW DARE YOU NOT RELEASE THE BETA ON TIIIIIME?!" You make it sound like blizzard has done you some personal disservice by doing exactly what they always do, and by doing exactly what makes them great. Goddamnit, some of you should really be ashamed of yourselves. | ||

You make it sound like blizzard has done you some personal disservice by doing exactly what they always do, and by doing exactly what makes them great. Goddamnit, some of you should really be ashamed of yourselves. The hate is almost entirely because of WoW, and the inherent negative stereotypes of MMOs and MMO players. WoW is just a game where you kill pigs all day, and the people who are addicted to it lose their lives as they pay monthly fees to Blizzard. Therefore Blizzard is a greed monster who is bent on keeping these people addicted and ignoring the true games they should be developing for the real gamers out there. So anything we see from future blizzard games will be compared to WoW (graphics, gameplay), and people will assume they are trying to fuck everyone over who buys their games ( OMGGG pay2play for battlenet!!!!? END OF THE WORLDDD). And seeing as Blizzard has spent so much time on WoW, it's only reasonable to assume that they have lost all their talent at making balanced RTS games, which gives everyone the right to write enormous analytical articles about a balance problems of an RTS game that is in its alpha stage ------------------------------ in all seriousness, i understand why people are dissapointed with the delays, but all the criticism towards blizzard is sometimes just plain silly. and while WoW is still an excellent game, they really have changed the focus entirely to the casual gamer, which is kind of sad =/ and going to a Blizzcon to find out that 70% of the people there don't even know what Starcraft or Diablo is makes me a sad gamer. | ||

I've heard lots of people say it was confirmed but have NEVER seen any actual confirmation of this. If you're talking about recent delays being WoW-related, that's just individual speculation. Honestly though I wouldn't blame them for pulling SC2 staff to solve WoW emergencies. I can't figure how extra staff from SC2 could bring a faster solution to Chinese WoW problems, but if they did I would fully expect those staff to get pulled. That's just smart business. | ||

Thanks Tsagacity, but who is pardo? I also do not see how pulling people from sc2 would help with wow. It is a classic mistake of managers who know little of computer science to think that throwing more code writers at a project will make it work better, I should think that blizzard has more class than making that kind of mistake. You don't get to have millions of monthly customers without good management. | ||

Not to mention the repercussions this had on WoW as an e-sport for them as no Chinese teams have been able to compete in anything due to all this as well. Honestly, some one needs to tell china they should keep playing TBC. WOTLK is just a casual EZ mode | ||
