Does anyone have any info on what is included with the collector's edition? I am considering going all out for HotS but I wanna know what I'm buying and I can' seem to find any information on the CE.

Edit: It's in the OP, I'm a fool, etc.

Is there a way for us Europeans to support TL and get a Beta Key?

Buying it only to play the Single Player and see if they can save the story, the missions in Wings of Liberty were fantastic, varied and fun to play. Shame the story was butchered.

Dont really care about multiplayer anymore

Nowhere on the amazon page I can find any information on the region. Is it possible to buy an EU version? Or, given global play, will the purchased game work with EU version automatically? Will the beta key be working with EU WoL?


If you have an EU-WoL, you need EU-HotS. After installing HotS, you can use global play, but the expansion needs to region-match with the base game. Currently you can preorder HotS via European Amazon websites through the TL affiliate link (click on WoL and search for HotS manually), but you won't get a beta-key.


Thanks!

Nevertheless, that's racist!


Racism has very little to do with it, since both Europe and North America consist primarily of members of the Caucasian race.

You might call it discrimination, but it's much more likely that it's just an international company that hasn't got their local branches synched up properly yet and the EU-beta-key offer coming up soon.


That was meant to be slightly sarcastic. However it is true that being a european, you often get second-class human being treatment from some U.S. based companies ... Considering that the play will be global anyway, they insistence on region-matching is just another corporate madness.

Anyway, does someone know how is it with beta keys and regions? Are they region-locked? When searchign for a beta key, do I have to specifically get an EU one?

I am now semiseriously considering pre-ordering the US version to a fictious US address to save on shipping (since I don't want it anyway) and getting just the beta key for 40 bucks. Not so bad, after all .. but don't know if it would work?

I ordered from Canada! So that I could support TL, as well as get a Beta Key! How does that all work? Does Amazon email a key to us or is it done by TL?

i am outraged when peple argue with "40 bucks for a few new units"
blizzard splitted the game for the story/campaign (official statement at least. we all have seen through their "pathetic sharade" (lawl kerrigan best quotes) yes activision i am talking to you)

the campaign, cinematics, story etc needs much work. the balance will come after the game is released after like 4 years.
BW didn't came out balanced, keep that in mind.

and i am only hyped for the new campaign and story tbh.
i would never even think of buying a CE for multiplayer-only expansion

Balance wise, it won't. That will take years. But as long as they can reasonably break up the death ball, it should be fine.

So if, for example, a European had an NA account for WoL, and they wanted a HotS beta key so bad it hurt their teeth, if they pre ordered the US version could they get the beta key to work?

How would that happen? I see nothing in the beta so far that would accomplish that.
