Hello everyone! Is it possible to find any Balance Notes about the HotS Changes, like standard Patch Notes? Or just new units were added?

Are anyone else had their achievements disappear for them? I played the first few missions earlier and got maybe like 4 % achievements for campaign and now when I relogged it's down at 0 % and it seems I don't get any new achievements after having finished a mission despite doing what's required for them (they are greyed out and they don't turn up in the achievement tab). Is it on blizzards end or is it something I can do?

edit: nvm, got a popup saying achievements are disabled until further notice.

So, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but idk where else to..

As someone who isn't that great at WOL(silver), but played and enjoyed tons of custom games, is the game worth picking up? I never really played the campaign in WoL, so I don't know if I'd be able to enjoy this one. But if there are some improvements to multiplayer and in particular custom games, I'd love to try it.

Thoughts?

I haven't seen any of the popular custom games updated yet (on EU). I'm enjoying the single player a ton and the multi player feels very fun atm with everyone experimenting with builds and units, and the game feeling more fast paced. So, I'd say go and pick it up.

Can you still unlock WOL ladder portraits through HOTS ladder? Or do I have to play WOL to unlock them.

Anyone know if the achievement service has an ETA, and also, if the levels on the ladder are counted regardless of whether or not the achievement service is online? Want to get back to Brutal achievements, but Blizzard says nay nay ;_;

Can u aim with widow mines or are they just hitting random targets? I was just watching Yoda vs Ret at IEM @26:30.
Yoda hits a lot of banelings and thus was able to kill him with that push.

If I completely downloaded the last WoL patch that had the HotS preload, will I need to download anything else when I buy/install HotS?

I have about 120 ping to EU and 270 to KR, living on east coast as well. KR is pretty much unplayable in that latency but EU is passable.

It gives you a choice which campaign to play. You'll be fine.

wow, this fucking guy... i scout his 2cyber cores and i already knew this piece of shit is doing that bullshit tempest comp.
So this guy sits on 3 bases and maxes tempest storm and voids. just 3 fucking bases when i have all map taken, got like 10k minerals 10k gas banked, and i cant do shit to him.
Tried viper+hydra with sniping of tempest - k u kill a couple tempest and u loose all ur army in the progress.
Tried mass ling and ultra runbys - there is really no place to do a run by.. he had only 3 bases..
Tried mass muta and force a base race - he just left like 10 tempest in his base and it was enough to wipe out all my mutas rofl.
Once he had only tempests in his comp (200 army supply of tempests) he just a-move across all map with half of his army and left the other half in his base, i again tried a base race but he just wipes out anything i send to his base with his half of an army.

And blizzard doesnt see a problem with this? this is just stupid as hell, in wol when zerg had that 'imba' comp of brood infestor, protoss at least had vortex+archon, or could easily do a base race with a good chance of winning, but against this tempest bullshit - therese just no chance of winning..

So yeah, if ur a protoss and u want 100% winrate, mass that air combo shit and watch zergs rage.
