Their original time line was 18 months after wings of liberty which was jan 2012. They're already months behind their schedule. Doesn't seem like they're rushing anything to me. To be fair, Blizzard is never really accurate with their time lines. We must also consider whether this was meant to be in blizzard time or real time. Thank goodness it's not Valve time lol. *still waiting for Episode 3* Pffffft, Valve time has nothing on Blizzard time. The longest wait was between Half life 1 and Half life 2 and it was 1998 vs 2004. BW vs SC2 was 1998 vs 2010 The fact that you think episode 3 is taking too long means you lack patience.Its been only 6 years since episode 2 came out. LOL only been 6 years omg you either have extreme patience or are just messing around either way made me laugh  . Wish I had that same viewpoint "it's only been 6 years, I can wait a few more easy peasy" ^^. There should be a special liquidbet section for Valve and Blizzard game release dates. For 200 points, SC:Ghost or HL3.
I approve this message. Although to make it a bit more fair, LotV or HL3.

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?)

somehow im hyped more for DotA 2.
valve promise for LAN and 100% free to play.

OMG I really hope I get a beta key.

Are you not reading this? It'd the release of the beta. A beta comes before it is actually released so they can make changes based off feedback they get.

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. No they're not. Historically, WC2, SC1, WC3's expansions were released only one year after the original. Even WoW had expansion coming out each year until last year or something.

Don't worry. I am sure someone will make a custom map for those of us who don't get a beta key.

Ohh yeah! I forgot completely how Blizzard and MLG have NOT partnered up for the WCS and how Blizzard is NOT going to be showcasing HotS at Anaheim. I forgot how MLG does NOT have way more announcements, which according to Adam are NOT going to be the biggest they have ever made.
|
So the beta will come "weeks" after MLG Anaheim... That says exactly nothing. "Weeks" may mean a couple of weeks or 1-2 months. I guess blizzard will see the reaction to the new ridiculousness(nydus worms/bulldozers and SS missiles) that they will add in the game and then decide if it's time for beta testing.
|
I'm actually surprised HotS (beta) will be out that soon.

How is 2 years after WoL "that soon?"

if i don't get a hots beta early i will seriously be pissed. no starcraft beta until very late, no diablo beta, no wow beta (although i didn't want but was subscribed for it)

I never implied that Heart of the Swarm wasn't going to be showed off at Anaheim. I was implying that Blizzard doesn't have a good track record for releasing things when they say they will. "Weeks" could mean 2 or it could mean 10, knowing Blizzard I wouldn't get your hopes up and think it is soon rather than later.
|
I can't attend the event, but I would still completely pay for the ticket just for the CHANCE to get into the beta. Do you think that would be a good idea?
|
I for one think Blizzard will definitely stick with that release frame for HotS beta seeing as "Following Weeks" refers to time going forward right?
I mean it's not like they've strung us along with Diablo 3 for ages.

For the naive RTS players that do not understand how expansions work with the community. The expansion is essentially the most "up-to-date" patch of the core game, meaning that everyone will 100% be switching over to HOTS.
Not switching over would be analogous to saying, "I am not going to switch over to the patch with the ghost nerf." It doesn't work like that. The most recent version of the game is what everyone always plays, and that's how it works with every RTS game. You can basically think of HOTS as the next "patch" for WOL.

I imagine they would give the beta keys physically and not by mail or digitally. I would be very surprised if they did.
