Me too, which makes me a bit sad. I get to play the campaign at 4 in the morning...

Will WoL update graphically to look like the HOTS beta, as in smaller queens, more isometric view, etc.? Or will it remain looking slightly different between the two games? It would be weird if they kept the two looking slightly different, especially because I'm under the impression they can both be played from the same client by changing the expansion level dropdown in options. This leads me to believe the (or at least hope) that WoL's graphics will be updated to look like HOTS if they aren't already.

If Zerg neural parasites Mothership Core can the zerg player use Recall? Will the units teleport to the Hatchery? Or can zerg player use recall if zerg has a Nexus? So is there a way for zerg player use recall?

Though if you've got a Nexus you can also build an MC of your own.

Recalling your Z units to a Nexus build with a neuralp probe, using a meuralp MC will be awesome epic and uber confusing to the P player. This must be a funday monday topic. Not very usefull and hard to do.... but worth it xDD

On that topic, how viable do you guys think it is to neural parasite a probe, build a nexus, and start playing Protoss?

It´s possible but it´s hard: 1 When you have infestors, usually there is no more scouting probes, so you have to move to an exp. 2 You have to neural a probe, move the probe to a "safe" place, and then build the nexus but P player will notice that you are building a Nexus and he will destroy it ASAP.
At least it´s easier than building a T comand center. Search on youtube for examples.

Where does the game save the replay which u have watched with your friend and was hosted by him?

You have by definition been at Lair tech for at least a couple of minutes at the point you start the Nexus, so your opponent will have a comparable level of tech (Blink Stalkers, Colossi, upgrades) and you still have to build a Nexus, Gateway, Cyber Core and a tech structure before you'll be able to build anything interesting. I don't see any way that paying so much for access to Protoss tech would ever give you a bigger advantage than you could have gotten by investing all that money in Zerg stuff.

No, free units don't go to nydus. As a follow-up question, can you shift-queue burrow-spawn locust-unburrow-move? If so, can you shift-queue the following action? Load swarmhost in Nydus Exit Nydus Burrow Spawn locusts Unburrow Re-enter Nydus And if so, what happens if I you do this before the Nydus worm has finished building? Do the swarmhosts exit automatically?
Sorry if it does not fit the "simple" questions. I'm a bit fascinated by these Swarm hosts

I think in HOTS cheesing has been nerfed on the whole. What race do you think is the strongest to cheese with? Considering the cannon rush has been nerfed due to the pylon power change, the nexus cannon is strong, widow mines etc. Thanks in advance and I hope this counts as a kinda simple question, didn't think this was worthy of it own thread.

I'm a bit fascinated by these Swarm hosts  When you shift-queue move, burrow, unburrow, move the swarm host does not stay burrowed long enough to spawn locusts. You can not shift-queue leaving a nydus network.

Your WoL MMR will still be used whenever you choose to play WoL ladder. (You will have to do 1 WoL placement match if a season ends at the same time as HoTS is released tho). HoTS will use a completely separate ladder. In total each player will have 4 seperate MMR. (WoL ladder, WoL unranked, HoTS ladder, HoTS unranked).
