Before anyone asks, no, the game doesn't run because it was not properly installed.


Btw, you can't get pass playable, the download time for Optimal is unknown.

I'm hoping that their new involvement with Kespa and OGN will allow them to have a greater amount of pro koreans to pull from to make sure that KR is behind this new iteration of sc2 (the COO of blizzard hinted at this with the interview that wax did a few days ago), I'm really trying to be optimistic about the new face blizzard is trying to show to the korean scene. Also, for people complaining about not enough or too much change, we haven't even seen any HOTS information for like half a year, the first new information will probably be MLG. It might be completely different from what we expect!


Well said!

Well if you provided a decent argument on why they shouldn't be brought in instead of resorting to your wide variety of 4chan memes maybe more people would agree with you that new units are better than rehashed ones =)
We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

Hello there, I invite you to actually read the thread instead of only reading the title.

You're mistaken. And the game is actually running now that I figured out what was missing.

People saying they want subtle tweaks to game mechanics, haven't you seen the ragdoll physics videos of HotS?

I think they're doing an internal beta test of the Streaming client. It still doesn't have any HotS content in it. No new units or anything.

and exactly what do graphical tweaks have anything to do with gameplay/mechanical tweaks? Besides, most people half serious about this game plays with physics off, having things bounce around is just useless clutter.

haha someone belive it ?

Its faked diablo 3 beta installer , even has the same size 7.6GB+ , same sizes of frames etc..

How you actually wanna play HOTS with no full instalation ?
These 3 steps , setup , playable , optional... how you imagine playing rts game , when your game is still incomplete ? , yes sure in RPG games it works fine , because you start game from beginign , game client know what to dl first..andin sc2 hots beta , where is the begining ? , what you gonna DL first , and what will be dl in background when you play...

.....maps ? , terran ? and skip zerg ? :D , its make no seanse and its fake IMO

They said 1.5.0 would have a stream tech (jsut like D3 and wow past 4.0), they might be testing it and are calling it beta because they are betaing the stream? Idk. I am not saying it's true, but it makes sense.

I can tell many people were not there or do not understand what Starcraft expansions usually include. Broodwar added maybe 6 units (not sure the exact amount), yet it dynamically changed the game. Starcraft balance is changed by the smallest things, so can't you imagine what a unit adds?
