Agree. (specially because I play at LA server... ... ... and that is a huge issue here (players number), really) | ||

It's the same thing that happened in BW, it's just, logical. Many many people play SC2 for it's multiplayer alone, which means that doing it the way you say would DRASTICALLY impact sales. People would just download pirate versions to play the campaign, then play with their WoL account. It just wouldn't work. With separate ladders... protoss addon will be a main-sc2 game, while Hots and WoL will have low count of players -_- Same thing, Blizz wants people to buy their games, so they need to make separate ladders. | ||

Another thought though, will WoL-restricted players be able to play custom games with HotS players, with only the HotS player able to use the new units? | ||

And if she, as a human leads it, I'm gonna kill myself. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a human Kerrigan trying to regain her Zerg powers to control to Swarm to fight the Dark Voice. Also I bet Tychus will become a kind of infested leader of evil Zerg, like a pawn for the dark voice or someone. They invested a lot in his character just to have him die. Don't ask me why, but I could see the Dark Voice being Tassadar. | ||

I'm guessing it will come out before summer of next year; That would be 2 years between the 2. I would love to see HotS xmas 2011 tbh... prolly not going to happen though. Generally they don't like releasing 2 games close together and most rumblings point to Diablo 3 hitting in late 2011 so I wouldn't have high hopes fot HotS this year. | ||

Every pro player who intends to keep playing will switch, as well as everyone else even kinda serious about competing. Another thought though, will WoL-restricted players be able to play custom games with HotS players, with only the HotS player able to use the new units? Either the person with the expo will have to switch to classic or Blizzard will somehow make it so that the HoTS player won't have to switch but you'll still only be able to play a WoL game together. | ||

I think plenty of people have already cleared this up. SC:WOL had rpg elements in it too, spending money on upgrades between each mission, changing mission story lines, etc. People take RPG and make it sound like they are changing the whole game, when in reality, they are just adding "elements" of RPG gameplay into the campaign to make it a different experience. Hopefully some new info will come to light in the coming weeks, I'm getting impatient :D | ||

Why is this EVEN an issue? The meeting is on wednesday the 25th, we will hear news either on that day, the day after, the end of that week or the beginning of the next one (depends if they are planning on having a nda on the news, like last time, or not). Depends on how many representants of Esports/press are invited. In the past they invited the press on a geographycal distribution basis,IE day 1 NA, day 2 Eu, day 3 Asia, day7 release of info. It's confirmed that Hots will happen after WOL, and will come out q2 next year. These are all facts, people keep asking about these things over and over, please someone stick the second part of this post somewhere, for clarity's sake. | ||
