Thanks.


yes, have to get the expansion for every account you want to play it on, unfortunately :-(

I'm going to wait to see how HOTS looks like and what units blizzard brings out then I might pre-order.
We didn't have no "4 gates" back in the probe drought, no sir! we only had 1 gate, chrono and probes to defend!

I definitely won't be paying €40 for that.


New Units that change the entire play of the game + a whole new campaign with several new missons

Sounds like a new game Boss

Sure there is. Reading the amazon forum you learn that if blizzard decides to set a price higher than amazon currently have you still pay the lower price you pre-ordered for. And if it's cheaper you get it for the cheaper price. There's really not anything to lose and you could get it cheaper if Blizzard gets really greedy in the pricing.

If you want to have a real argument you can probably say "It makes no sense to buy it before the actual content of the game is finalized."

So then why was Brood Wars 1/2 the price of SC2?
Same deal with Beyond the Dark Portal for WC:2 and Frozen Throne for WC:3.

Those just added some new units and a new campaign, so they were new games right?

Sounds like an expansion to me man.

Won't be buying if it's the same price as original game. It's not justifiable to make me wait this long for what I suspect will be mediocre because we all know blizzard employees spend half the day bumming each other to actually put work into a game.

Order now, and Amazon will honor the $39.99 price even if it rises. I believe they will lower the price as well if it ends lower. The chances of it not being $39.99 now that you can pre-order are basically zero.

I like your spirit though, I bet you've never lost a game that it was your fault either.

For people bitching about the price. Then don't buy it if enough people don't buy it right away the price will come down fast. Regardless the price will eventually come down anyway buy it then if you want it right away then start saving up a bit more now so you can buy it right away.

Also has any info been leaked about how to participate in the beta?

I lose loads I'm pretty bad, Only plat... I geuinely do think though that Blizzard employees put around 10 hours a week each into the game. There is actually no excuse for an expansion to be pushed back so much.

TaeTae you obviously have never created a video game, model, animation, or anything creative. For you to say that Blizzard employees are not working hard is ridiculous, they work very hard on a game that is played by millions.

gonna wait until i hear how tvp and tvz have changed.

I havent played any 1v1 games this season, so there is no point me spending money on a game i may not play.
If i hear that its not a ticking clock for terran anymore, then i may buy it.

First of all: How do you know anything about what blizzard employes spend their time on? Please provide sources if you make such ridicoulous claims!

Now i won't say that it can be called a "new game" but saying "It's not a new game it's a new campaign + some new multiplayer units" Is quite an understatement.

They will be doing graphic overhauling, better physics (if that is possible :D) and the campaign is hardly anything like the first one. And as someone else pointed out, the multiplayer will change the game, giving you thousands of hours of new experiences!

And as someone else have said. If you think it's to expensive, then don't buy it! If it is to expensive to be worth your money, then you simply don't buy it! Do something activly to! Write to blizzard about your issues for example! If you say "i will buy it anyway" then it is obviously worth it to you!

EDIT: Taetae: No, we all don't know that. It seems like only you have inside information on blizzard that you have no sources for yet present as fact!

SC2 fucking cost 300 NOK when it was released, that is about 37 EUR and 45ish USD. Pretty much the cheapest pc game to be launched in years, exactly half of what pc games normally costs.

I have 0% problems with shelling out for HOTS.

That's how much games cost in Norway?

I can pick up a PC game for £20 in UK

Wrong you are. And no they aren't working hard. HOTS was originally set for a 2011 release... we only just saw shit bad footage at blizzcon 2011. They had units that were so broken its ridiculous, and they said themselves campaign wasn't even started. To originally have it releasing for 2011, you really would question what they were doing for 2 years prior to that date.
