Especially when you consider that we actually have SC2 to pass the time we wait for....oh wait, SC2

Maybe it's tech issues, maybe he's just exhausted, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, he wanted to dress as spiderman and web the shit out of his girlfriend / boyfriend / donkeyfriend without having people watch. - wormintrude

If you're still around to observe Step 2 you're a masochist.

If you're not, then you don't have the experience to comment on it.

Such is the catch 22 of cynics.

I'm a bit skeptical that they can expand the unit selection of Zerg for single player in an elegant way. Surely once the 9 larvae mutation buttons are full there's only room for mutations of existing strains - a la Devourer, Baneling, et cetera (with the notable exception of the queen).
I died in a crash two years ago - is that what they told you?

No, its 1/3 of a game. only reason people like you are content with WoL is because you dont notice that all of the missions were filler content and the story was lackluster in order to stretch the story over three games. The only complete part was multiplayer.

I'd rather use the word asenine to describe the story line in WoL.

Wooow, that's a looong time until HotS - I really would like to see some new Units in SC2 and I don't think we'll be seeing drastic changes like that in the Patches to come...

I wonder why they choose to release the expansions with soo much time between them.

I'm so waiting for Zerg campaign

I really hope it's going to be absolutely different from Terran setup (obviously not Spaceship headquarters... don't taunt me on that).

At the same time I want Zerg missions to be much more brutal in the core, not difficulty wise, but story/atmosphere wise. They need to be darker.

Obviously to work on them as much as they can, let SC2 community develop, multiplayer to stabilize, get more money...

let me get this straight, we will have to wait another ~3 years before this game is actually "finished" with all two expansions?
so the same level for e-sports as BW will not be reached before that point? (blizz will have to introduce new units to keep the average bronze-gold-players interested, which means that we will basicly see a new game after each expansion)

I think the story only felt lackluster because of the whole structure.

Since there isn't a single story, they'd have to pour in much, much more effort for the thing to feel cohesive. But the way things are, your choices felt mostly meaningless.
And the mission structure is a mess, jumping to one place and then back again. You can't do "the artefacts mission" and then "the agria missions" and then "Tosh missions". You try Tosh but after mission one, nope, dead end.
It's really bad.

They already said for HotS they want to go back to a single story which should mean they can also finally go back to their fine, linear writing.

Man, that's a long time to wait. Brood War was released the same year as StarCraft and offered three new campaigns. Now we're waiting two years for the second campaign of StarCraft 2.

The industry certainly has changed.

How many years has it been since they said they were working on the next-gen MMO? It was before the Diablo 3 announcement, right? I'll admit I'm a little curious about it. I wonder if their plan is to just keep working and working on it until WOW's numbers start to decline, and then formally announce it.

Good luck on that... they just released an announcement that WoW finally hit the 12 million subscribers milestone, which means that it is still growing.

Eh, I don't mind the time being taken for HotS as long as I get a good game with an awesome story.
Plus, I don't think Battle.net 2.0 is that bad. Chat channels are coming shortly in patch 1.2 and hopefully they will integrate cross region sometime.

Thank you OP.

This is the only game release I've ever seen in which people complain that it's not finished because all the expansions aren't released.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is finished. That is the game you purchased.

Would you all rather have had some 10 mission campaigns for each race and have the hype surrounding SC2 dissipate in one release?

for me the problem is definitely the development of warcraft 3

TFT (wc3-addon) completely changed the playstyle; every balancing that was done before TFT was rendered useless; the races played completely differently, the difference was as big as going from BW to sc2;

therefore my concern is, that blizzard will never strive for perfect sc2 balance UNTIL all two expansions are released; because only then we will have the game in its final state that will be balanced to exist for many, many following years

Thinking about this makes me depressed. It'll be another 3-4 years before this game is fully finished. I'll be in another stage of my life at that point and I don't know if I'll appreciate/be able to appreciate the game as much at that point.

18 months? Ouch. You know they will delay the release so you can expect it about 2 years from now.

Makes me upset they split the campaign into 3 parts, this story will likely go on for 4 more years...I probably won't have time to finish it.
