So when the full game comes out, will I be able to automatically play it, as I already have a beta key?

no, and the beta will likely have been closed for awhile prior to HOTS coming out. at least, that is how i recall it happened with WOL.

Okay thanks, that's what I initially thought, just wanted to double check

Seems a little expensive for an expansion but I'm psyched nonetheless


If I was Blizzard I would sell it for 60€/80$ ...people including myself would buy it. If the Singleplayer Campaign is has 20hrs+ Content (without Achievements etc) it should be worth it only for SP. There are stupid people who pay 60$ for a 4hrs Call of Duty Singleplayer.

It most likely won't be compatable as the US HOTS will probably require an US battlenet account instead of your EU battlenet account.


Are you sure ? Even with global play ?

It's because you need WoL in order to activate your HotS account, which WoL is obviously region locked.


isn't global play gonna be on WOL too ?

Supposedly, but I imagine that that Global Play was implemented because Blizzard may have found a way to prevent people from buying cheaper SC2 keys from other regions to be able to play on all regions.

People seem to forget its $40 for all the Multiplayer features + a full length Campaign. if you complain about 40 bucks, you really need to enter the real world.

40$ here, 40$ there. shit adds up.
I would buy it if it was priced like CS:GO 15$. If you think about it, CS:GO is like an expansion to CSS, so the price reflects that. The same is for HotS, you get a few new units/textures some new bnet features and a story no one cares about. Also most of the stuff they're putting in can change at any time (warhound anyone?).

Yeah I think I'll wait for you guys to spend 40$ on it and play it with all the horrible imbalances it will have, and after 1 year once it's patched then I'll buy it at the 20$ it will be sold at.

I'd love to know what you think IS worth 40 dollars that's entertainment related.

I've blown more than the price of HOTS in a single night of drinking at a bar with my friends. I've blown a few times the price of HOTS on single date nights.

40 bucks for a game I'll be playing for at least 2 years that will provide me with HUNDREDS of hours of gameplay? It's a no brainer. Best purchase I'll make of 2013 easily.


well, I'll explain myself.

I don't play the campaign.
I only play one race.

so I will receive barely 2 units, a couple of spells and a new ability in the rocks.

i played sc:bw from the 1990s with all of the "horrible imbalances" and didn't bitch nearly as much as the current sc2 players. i dont recall the exact price, but i bought the original, the expansion and then the chest with all of them multiple times because my CDs kept breaking. yeah, it was well worth it. just like sc2 has been well worth it.

the game (and expansion) is worth the price, easily. if you (metaphorically) dont see that its because you just want something to complain about, not a realistic viewpoint.

The fact that you willingly limit yourself to using only a small part of the product you're purchasing doesn't make the price more or less fair, FYI.

What's with all this "I only get x units" nonsense? You will be playing against the other units whether you play as that race or not. Your matchups will have totally new twists to them.
