I am willing to see what blizzard delivers.

The transforming hellion idea is cool and kinda gets a firebat like unit in the game. (Personally I l'd like to see it split back to add the firebat and eliminate the hellion and add the vulture back but Transforming hellion seems cool)

Terran seems like the transforming race... Command center can transform, siege tank can deploy (Kind of transform), the Viking obviously... Maybe they will take that idea forward and let all mech/fliers transform. The medivac could land and transform into a healing bunker... not sure about the raven... I like the raven but I think the HSM is kinda gimmicky... Personally I see no need for the Thor... its too big and doesn't fit imho with terrans... I did like it in the campaign but even there it seemed kind of a big hero unit... Goliaths were fine but you could always eliminate the thor and let a landed viking serve as a goliath like unit.... (They seem similar already) who knows....




This truly disappoints me to the core. "Terran the transformer race..... hellion idea cool.....landed viking serve as a goliath like unit...."

So many things wrong with this.


First

1) Terrans are not transformers in the Starcraft universe.
2) the battle hellion is a transformer.
3) landed vikings are transformers...

See where im going with this? Blizzard is obsessed with trying to "remake SC" so they can be "original". But they went a complete 180 degrees the wrong direction with at least 1 race + Show Spoiler +
Terran duh
.

I think they are on the right track with Zerg, although the macro mechanics of the game prevent the power of this race from truly shining. Their units are supposed to be weak and throwaway. But either change mechanics, or buff the race. And Blizzard is proud of their mechanics, so only one option there.


It just looks like where blizz is going with Terran. If its working than run with it? Terran imho are very versatile and can toss out a variety of builds and make for one of the more fun races to watch. I also feel people who know nothing about SC2 can easily connect to Terran and "get" it. (You have to explain the other races more to noobs, but most noobs don't need to be told that a tank shoots big bullet and the viking shoots the rockets etc etc)

Is transforming bad? I did say my preference would be to add the vulture and firebat and eliminate the hellion but what blizzard is doing now doesn't really seem bad... still fun to watch and play. :D

I think the point is that terran went from the scrappy, fragile, uneducated yet strong willed colonial future-wild-west types who has to resort to getting as much as possible from their limited tools in order to stand up to the fearsome aliens, to this super robot transformers thing that one would expect more from Gundam/anime than a dark military game like SC1.

In that case I agree, the "feel" of terran has definitely changed in SC2, more so than the other 2 races.

It's not necessarily a balance thing, just a "feeling", like how Artosis switched races because he said the marauder just goes against everything he fought for as a terran in SC1.

hmm...way too fast, they still need some more time to tweak it, we still haven't seen what did they do to it yet, nor have a chance to try it,nor have a chance to say why somethings still need to be fixed.
tbh i want blizzard to adapt the valve time, I rather wait long for a better quality game than to have a game that still has features missing even after release (WoL anyone?)


wow i'm glad you're reporting from blizzard's offices to let us know what they've done with the game. please, give us more of your inside information.

...

at this point the only way to efficiently tweak it is to push it out to beta and let everyone bitch about it. then they'll actually know what they need to correct.

Was hoping for a major revamp of Protoss (in particular warp gates). So far HOTS is just a few extra units.

Poor form by Blizzard.



Your expecting a new game in Hots but its just an expansion with new units, balance changes,some old units removed,new maps,patch 1.5(before or after hots release) etc..

Lol @ all the people who think they have creative control over the game.

Blizzard is the one who decides the concept of the races not you deal with it.

How did additional beta keys get given out for WoL? I kinda forgot how that all went since I never got one.


it was a pre-order system. if you put down $5 you could reserve a copy for yourself and get a beta key on your receipt. i remember quite well since i preordered a bunch of games (so just deposited like $5 for 6 people) and brought back beta keys for everyone. only 2 of us actually ended up buying the game, but for others it was worth the $5 to play the beta.

I thought artosis just picked what was OP. Zerg in the beta with 1 food raoches and then over to Toss when he couldnt hack zerg.

Blizzard's own words:

[image loading]

We recently announced a partnership with Major League Gaming (MLG) for the World Championship Series. What we didn’t mention at the time was that we’ll be offering attendees a special opportunity play StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm at the MLG Pro Circuit Spring Championship event, being held at the Anaheim Convention Center from June 8-10.


We'll have a number of demo stations at the event to show off the latest multiplayer build of Heart of the Swarm, in advance of the upcoming beta test. Attendees will also be able to catch all the exciting StarCraft II eSports action from MLG's Spring Championship and Blizzard's StarCraft II World Championship Series USA Nationals. Head to MLG's Spring Championship site for information on attending.

I want you guys to note how they themselves mentioned this:

in advance of the upcoming beta test

To be fair, that's how they always word things. It's a "If we say a date we'll be spammed to hell for being a day late" thing.
