Anyone know if they have announced their plans for old WoL achievements? Will they be retro-fitted into the experience/level model or remain as is?

How many servers are in HoTS? Are there less divisions as well because I'm mid-masters in WoL but platinum in HoTS? Even other platinum players I play are good
|
HotS is one large global region rather than being split into AM, EU, KR etc etc. So it's likely that there's just a new distribution of the divisions, and also that basically everyone is placed a league or two below WoL in HotS for some other unknown reason, maybe the new system is inclined to make you work your way up, rather than win 5 placements and get to diamond kind of thing. But basically everyone I have played with/watch play in HotS is below where they "should" be. I am Plat in WoL and I got put into bronze in HotS after going 3-2 in placements and still with a 90% win ratio lol.

It's just US server and everyone connects to it. Thats why there was many connection issues from players from other regions.

Does Blinding Cloud work against static defence, like missile turrets and planetary fortresses?

What happens if you click "Leave League"? Do you move to another division, play placement matches, something else?

You leave your current division and play one placement match to be placed into a new division. Most of the encounters I have heard is that you are just placed into the same league but in a different division with different people.
So you basically hit it right on top of the head.

hello you beta users. i can't really remember where, but at the beginning of the beta i've read that siege tank's attack damage in siege mode know scales better with upgrades in hots. it was written it now gains +7 attack instead of +5 per upgrade level. is it true? if yes, how is it distributed, +4 base damage and +3 bonus damage vs. armored? i know it reads differently @ liquipedia page, but i didn't see a denial. could you please check?

I pre ordered HOTS on the 6th of January and still have not gotten my beta key. Should I contact support or do something else? I stopped playing WOL thinking I would get it in a week or two but I have gotten nothing. The key gets sent to the same address as the confirmation of purchase right?

where did you buy it from? I just bought it from Bliz a few days ago and was also confused. But, to my surprise, I was able to download the beta client and play using my account, didn't need a key at all.

What on earth to do against oracles as T? I believe that move super fast, AND are pretty powerful cleaning up marines. Turrents work decent, but unless you scout it thats no good, and if you read it wrong and a gateway timing comes, you die.
Im also having trouble against toss super tech compositions, MMM dont seam to cut it anymore. There was this guy who went collosi, and air. No way i could stop it cost efficiently, any suggestions ?

Oracles are very fragile units even tho they pack a ton of DMG to light units. The main idea is to take a little SCV dmg as possible. Leaving some marines in your mineral line should keep most SCV's from dying until you have time to place a turret. Also for " Super tech compositions, you really need to try to spread the protoss player out. Most of our High tech units are quite slow and will take some time to come and defend multiple bases even with Mothership Core's recall ability.
Hope this could help

Go heavy Vikings.ITs the ONLY decent AA unit T got to counter the P air. For Oracles,they usually come at 7 min,even if its proxy.Leave 3-4 marines and start ebay on 6:00.The turret will be completed at 6:50 and you got your mineral line defended.

So, no patch this week? I was really hoping for something ;_;

It's probably a placeholder for the Starter Edition.

Marines are fine against oracles. 5 marines are enough to kill one oracle and they get more efficient the more you have.

Have they made any statement on realizing how ridiculous hellbat drops are and when they're nerfing them?
