Honestly I get the feeling they're starting to aim a lot more towards the casual crowd that wants over-the-top animations and crazy shit happening constantly. All this new stuff looks like things that would cater to the crowd that wants things to go 'wow' at for a while but just gets silly after a while. I'm very, very sceptical towards seeing all these new functions being completely balanced for competitive play. Now, that's the early opinion on stuff I haven't really witnessed, but it's just the feeling I get from all this.

I know most people will complain the shit out of everything right now or w/e. So I'm just gonna express my hapiness right now:

I'm getting the sickest nerd chills right now, reading all these changes and seeing all these new units we'll get. HOTS is gonna change SC2 as much as BW changed sc1 and this is just the first expansion, I'm so fucking excited about this, I know I sound like a little fanboy but for fucks sake I really wanna play some hots right now.

it basically is a Goliath, Idk who Blizzard think they're trying to fool with making a new unit that fills the Goliaths role and hoping the viewers won't notice.

They tried it with the mothership too

There is an unbelieveable amount of whining in this thread O_O things will change before HotS comes out you know.

Looking forward to the expansion

Has anyone tried to emp a nexus? If it works, kinda makes nexus recall useless. Hmmm.


Yeah because having ghosts in a protoss base is totally standard... are you serious haha?

"oh this guy is probably gonna go snipe some tech building of mine and then mass recall back, I'll just drop 2 ghosts in every base he has and EMP the nexuses!"

How are all of you commenting on how HotS is when NONE of you have even played it? Jeez man, this is just like before SC2 began, before you knock it, try it, because you really don't know what it will be like, so stop making assumptions.

They just nerfed the fucking shit out of terran and made Z/P the only viable race O.O omg.

Movable burrowed banelings. gg no re.

Protoss just make themselves siege tanks and then its gg no re.

I hope im wrong but im sick to my stomach -_- better switch races now

How did they nerf terran at all? Did you even read any of the shit or are you just commenting? I would love to know how you think replicas will actually be that good as well, what am I going to replica a marauder or some shit? OMG a new carrier, lol must be a op. Seriously don't see how protoss is getting buffed, and I seriously don't see how you can possibly say terran won't be playable...........

Command and Conquer: Heart of Dustin Browder is a more accurate title for this expansion i believe.


micro skill doesnt equal gimmicks

youve never played SC1 have you.... sigh...


SC1 had far more micromanagment than SC2. The smartcasting and improved AI removed alot of the micro skill required from SC2.

So we can't punish you for not having a detector with your army?

Seriously. If they're not going to nerf detection especially terran) then they might as well make more covert stuff.

i dont see what's so strong about terran detection. Personally i like getting ravens but other than that you dont have much


Terran detection is terrible compared to the other races, but possibly more even with Z now if they don't have overseers. Every scan is a mule lost that is needed to keep up with P/Z, and units can run outside of scan range. Ghost emp is too costly. Turrets can't attack ground (even Z has spine/spore combo) and ravens cost tons of gas, come from a techlab starport that T doesn't really ever want, and has the durability of a paper airplane.

So the Tempest only takes 75 seconds to build?

That's actually... insane. Especially with chronoboost. In lategame you could pump out a fleet of these motherfuckers in no time.

Ouch. That's not going to get used too much.

lol 200/200 and can't replicate massive... so what do I do with this unit then?


Flexibility when you don't know what you'll need. Also I'd pay 200/200 for infestors/tanks as part of a protoss composition

I'm worried about the tempest being useless. 300/300/6 for a unit that you only care about AtA? Toss doesn't have THAT much of a problem with mass mutalisk/broodlord. The AtG just sounds like a void ray, so why not just get more void rays?


I can see it decimating both multalisks and vikings. Itll basically make popular the tempest collosus builds with maybe some zealots to tank.
