Q: Will Heart of the Swarm require ownership of Wings of Liberty?

A: For the regions that have a standard box business model such as North America and Europe, yes, Wings of Liberty will be required in order to play Heart of the Swarm. For other regions that have alternative access models, we’ll provide details at a later date.


This doesn't seem like a good omen.

At least they acknowledge that some units are just plain boring. Really looking forward to some new unit upgrades for Zergs, and not just the same old movement speed/range upgrades.

This whole article is somewhat dissapointing and somewhat positivly suprising. I do not mean that the writing style is bad in anyway, that is as awesome as i am used to from TL.

The suprising part is the fact, that they are willing to cut units. Thats something i did not expect but prevents units from existing, that resemble the Scout in BW.

On the other hand, LAN

nice article, very easy to read through. Hots will be different to some extent it seems and really looking forward to seeing what units they take out and what they put in instead. It was a bit lame how they handled the lan issue though but it's such an infected question there really isnt a good answer besides "we're gonna implement it" which they obviously wont.

Blizzard has great artists, coders, sound-guys etc. However their design department... Feels very Bioware'ish sometimes (that's not a good thing).
I'm thinking about this for example:
For example, the Overseer is not a cool unit, it's basically a glorfied scout at this point. We're looking at either taking out or replacing these units that aren't as cool. The other thing that we need to watch out is how these units interact in combination.

It isn't cool - we need to change it. Wait what?
99% of the design should be spent around making it balanced, not whether or not it's "cool". Go for "cool" and you'll end up with shit like the collosus.

Looks fun, imma slay a ton of yetis.... Units you see for the first time in campaign and have to figure out yourself what they do are the most fun.

I remember playing the sc1 demo and nearly shitting myself when I unwittingly approached a sunken colony and it attacked me.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Man, im so pumped ! Cannot wait, thx for TL for such a nice job.

I'm sure they gonna make single player experience superb, what i'm confused about is multiplayer, they said they gonna add and remove some units, i'm just afraid they gonna listen to crys and complains in order to do that, even not every pro player got reliable opinion about what should go, as for example Mothership, as we saw it only few times in pro matches, or Roach that created so much pain since the beta, but is used constantly in every match ? They give an example with overseer , as zerg players just use it because there is no other option, but i could name at least 2 o 3 units from each race that really is "forced" option even if they beeing used.

So, we are going to kill neutral monsters just like in WC3/LoL to gain exp. points and upgrade out minions/hero? Not really impressed.... the upgrades seems interesting, but i hope they are well balanced. No hints about some new units?

Fuck, this looks so awesome. Honestly, I'm glad to see the changes they're making. At least they're looking at things and realizing that certain things are not okay atm. Whether or not those evaluations evolve into good things...in Blizzard I trust.

20 new missions? Sounds like the number is getting lower...

IIRC they said it should be like 30~ missions for each game?

The marketplace too is a little worrying.

I do wonder how much money Blizz makes from the game....

WoW is all about generating ongoing income, and is having new subscription upgrades etc to stimulate income from it.

If this marketplace is where Blizz really sees the money coming in from SC2 (from end users at least) assuming they take a cut from the custom maps they sell then this could present serious implications about where their interests lie: 'hardcore' (read: intellegent, passionate) gamers or casual gamers running around with a chefs hat trying to fry zerglings....

Roach

Chitinous Plating - +1 armor.
Bile Ducts – +2 damage.
Organic Carapace – Health regeneration increased by 2

Evolution:

Prowler – Enables burrow movement.
Leech – Every unit killed gains the leech 10 HP (up to a maximum of 60). Also, Health regeneration increased.

I'm glad they've finally come up with some new ideas to make the roach more interesting, it was starting to feel like a stale/1-dimensional unit. I can't wait to get try out the new +armor, +damage, +regen, +burrowed move, singleplayer-only roach upgrades in HotS!


(yes yes I realize this is a very early build and most likely will be changed, but I still find it amusing how that's the best they were able to come up with for 1 of their 3 units they put on display)
