Abduct is awesome yo :D. As for beta I imagine we still have quiet a wait tbh. They said they wanted to release patch 1.5 (which they haven't even announced a date for that yet) and then they would start working super hard on getting hots beta out. Honestly I don't expect it until winter if we're lucky. winter sounds a tad absurd. i imagine they'd want to release the full game by christmas. with a 3 month-ish beta, late september seems more likely. Remember they're on a clock these days with game releases.
well blizzard isn´t on a clock... blizzard is one of the only companies that won´t throw out release dates... so they can realease it whenever they feel like its ready... i kinda feel like november december to... and i expect the release for around march 2013.
the beta wont last that long this time. i guess max 3 months.

I do know the meaning of "at least" in corporate-speak. It means "rumors of 3 games this year notwithstanding, we're probably going to only be able to release 2".
This is Blizzard. If they're qualifying their "soon" with "maybe", you can be sure it's nowhere near done.

beta in august , the game in january i call it now

I am happy with any delay of HotS as long as the game is polished by then.
Worst case would be some unfinished crap like D3.
HotS should revitalise the SC2-Community and not diminish it.

at least 2 games means they could also release 50 games this year.
This just wanted to release a minimum of 2.

MoP is not coming out in August...Blizzard do the same shit every year, WoW is Q3 every time (oct-dec)
Beta is miles off i think, like people have stated, the arcade beta has been going for a while yet with no confirmed dates set for when that hits, and when it does it will be 2-3 more weeks until we get news on when the BETA will come out, your looking at about Sept-Oct for HOTS beta, then that will be played out until Dec, with Jan/Feb release for HOTS.

as far as i heard blizzard opting to release 1 big title every year... at least that´s what they said... idk if add ons count as big titles aswell... but in case of hots think yes...

The topic is correct - to be release ~100 weeks from Anaheim.
|
Kinda of odd that we dont get hots beta yet. It makes comeplete sence to give it to us during holidays, though we might still get it during the holidays.
Im still voting for holidays.

This wednesday they will draw the winners from the betakey rate a game 1.5 beta contest, and all winners will be informed via email within 5 days from wednesday. I'd say once all the winners get their keyes or w/e we should know a release date of the beta. I could certainly see it starting within the next 2-3 weeks.

They've specifically stated they're aiming to get MoP out sooner. Also, public beta to launch has always been 5 months. That means August release. They've already printed the boxes and they're in raid testing, addons enabled. Late August launch.

Isn't this a little extreme now? In the past, didn't expansions sometimes come within the same year, or at most the next year? Wasn't starcraft 2 released in 2010? Will they really wait until 2013 to relase, seems silly, especially with on more expansion coming up... It seems like they should have tried harder to get the orginial momentum and interest in sc2 to grow and not let it peter out...

How long can it take to implement 2 new units per race? And they are not even that creative ones...
At least I recently received a dota 2 invite to help me survive until HotS ^^

D3 happened, plus they have to keep developing WoW expansions.
Bobby Kotick will not let them hire appropriate numbers so they shuffle people back and forth between different games. They still have "creative control" but not financial control.
If you doubt this, it's been TWO YEARS and still no paid name change in SC2.

its not only the 2 new units for each race... its the whole campaign, its the new bnet ui and many other balancing issues that they need to work on... i rather wait for hots to be good, then put it out to fast and desytroying the sc2 scene...

The chef himself said it will start this summer. Not soon, this summer. Which means latest in September but I dont really count this as summer. My guess is in the next 2 or 3 weeks at least I hope so.

I always thought that June July August were Summer and September was Autumn. Is it different in some other countries?
