I don't really mind paying another 60 bucks for the game. I just want more units for zerg and maybe some new balance changes. Maybe warpgate removed? a kid can dream.

I don't see how it would be op. What do you mean? That it's splash will be more effective due to the better pathfinding? Which makes a ball of units to cluster up?

If that is your reasoning then both Collosus and seige tanks are imballenced too.

I'm not the only one who immediately thinks of WC3 when he hears about RPG-like mechanics, right? Not sure I want to level up Kerrigan and manage her inventory etc.

New Zerg units should be cool, I expect one of these to be added to the MP eventually.

i'd expect something close to the Dawn of War 2 system where your hero(es) level up inbetween missions and can learn new spells/equip new items (you won't have to mess around with it in missions) or something close to that. seeing kerrigan grow with each missions seems exciting.

coloss and tanks were both nerfed/changed to balance the splash on the amazing clumps you get in SC2. i do not however believe that a lurker could be balanced this way since you can see a tank/coloss before it fires at you, a lurker is invincible unless you ran up and then burrowed it

i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

You do realise they cut the balls of the seige tank, right?

Not like zerg needs more AoE anyways, Hive Tech Caster inc.

wtf?! of course they would be OP if you'd just add them to the game like it is at the moment?!...
but i guess zerg won't be the only race that gets changed in HotS?!

if lurkers are added, at least bring science vessels back. We dont really have a real offensive spellcaster atm vs zerg. HSM sucks balls

I seem to recall many times moving units and suddenly being hit by a tank or a colossus because their range was greater than my vision...

And I fail to see the correlation between nerfing damage ouput of the collusus and tanks and the lurker being able to burrow. What about it being burrowed makes it unable to be balanced/tweaked?

Anyways, very excited to see what's in store with HOTS ^^

I think they will have a hard time making sc2 surpass bw without just copying things from bw.

TFT had its own ladder and single player, and was cheaper than Reign of Chaos

there really is no basis to say that "HotS" WILL BE $60.

How much is the price of HotS gonna be like? And will it have a seperate ladder system or it will build on the WoL ladder? Plus how will it impact the current balance?

Please help someone.

The more recent news we've had said that the second 2 games would be full price (originally they were gonna be expansion packs and cheaper. This could change and it's not final). Blizz has said that each game will have a separate ladder, so that people who don't upgrade won't be forced out of multiplayer. There will be new units/abilities in multiplayer but we don't know how many or what.
