For once I'm truly 100% behind these features. A good solid edition to the existing battle.net! Now all we need are proper chat rooms !

While I'll def. have to purchase the expansion I can't help but hate Blizzard even more for being a company that makes money by screwing customers over.

These functions aren't something that you should get in an expansion, they are easy to implement and should've been patched into the game as soon as Blizzard realized people's demand for them (which should've been back in the beta of 2010).

I used to be happy to help fund Blizzard. Now I consider them a scourge of the gaming market, a company who's ideals must be fought for the sake of us gamers - and the only way a customer can fight is with his wallet.


Coming from console gaming and having to pay for Xbox Live and a new COD every 6 months, you won't see me complaining. As long as this will remain a good game for years to come, I don't mind paying $60 for the expansions.

Just the attitude pc gaming doesn't need. I don't see the rationale of paying that much for an expansion.

...and we all thought Blizzard didn't care about the community and wasn't listening. Little did we know, while we were busy knocking them, they were already working on all these new and cool features we were asking for!
One of the more ironic things I've seen in life, if you ask me.

While I'm very happy for the additions, I am expecting a bit more as these features are present in prior Blizzard games. What would really knock my socks is if they added an observer mode a la DOTA 2 where I can actually watch a tournament game IN GAME, or randomly hop into a friends game to observe.

Depends on the expansion size. An update like this is HUGE. It brings a new campaign, new units, TONS of balance work and now all these new features we were asking for. It seems comparable in scale to the original game, or at least comparable enough to warrant paying 60 dollars for it.
If it was just the new campaign, or even the new campaign and the tons of work going into creating and balancing the new units during and after development, I wouldn't pay full price. Fortunately for them, this laundry list of awesome features that they just dumped on us warrants the payment I feel.

Wow, this is actually amazing, I can't wait for HotS even if the balance isn't that great to begin with... Also even though, Blizzard doesn't officially read these forums, I'm glad that they will know that the community responds well when they do what we want... Even though it's more than likely this is to entail the selling of the expansion, I'm happy about the changes, and will definitely be buying HotS. Thank you Blizz, we are grateful.

[16:17] <SirJolt> Man, this news about all the heart of the swarm changes bums me out
[16:18] <SirJolt> Blizzard spends two years saying, "IT CAN'T BE DONE!" "THE TECHNOLOGY ISN'T THERE!" and now it turns around and says, "For the low, low cost of $60, the technology can be there."

a reason to buy HoTS. sad that it took so long, but i guess they needed some selling points to make us buy it.

Meh, I'd rather have Wings of Liberty in July 2010, rather than November 2012. I wish the features were in the original, but seriously, I'm glad they didnt delay SC2 any more than they did. Problems and all, the last two years of SC2 have been a blast.


You're missing the point. Several of the things they're adding have already existed for well over a decade in the original version of b.net. There's no excuse for them to not have been in WOL at release in the first place. And to suggest that an additional 2 1/2 years would be needed to add them is pretty silly.

Wow. If all this happens, StarCraft II will have almost all the functionality it should have had on launch (*cough*LAN*cough* at least provided to all significant tournaments).

Don't get me wrong, StarCraft II is a great game. But some of teh back end and things like Bnet have been sorely lacking.

I knew Blizzard would pull through eventually! I've gotta say, the features I'm most excited for are Global Play and Unranked Matchmaking, two features that I never even was thinking of.
