Remember you can pre-order your copy through the TL store and help support Team Liquid! It's also an easy way to get a beta key!

This really needs an EU equivalent... I'd love to support TL but now when the game costs me 20-30 bucks extra for shipping etc.

Betakey would be awesome though >.< ahhh the decisions

It's surprising how fast Blizzard managed to release Brood War back in 98, it took them only 8 months. In terms of the usual Blizzard speed, that's near the speed of light.

But three years development for this one... well, I won't complain about anything, although I have no clue what took so long. But seriously, another three years from now, when the second expasion will come out, this will just seem like some kind of joke. Wings of Liberty will feel like it's decades away for most people.


tbh, they weren't working on Diablo and WoW between SC and SC:BW releases.


They have entirely different teams working on each game, so making multiple games at once has no correlation with the length of time it takes them to complete one or the other.

This.
Also if it's too expensive for you -> Do not buy it, it's as simple as that.

Playing a game for months or years? Really are you that fanatic of a fanboy? My personal experience is that the single player is not worth the price they are trying to make it out to be. All the different modes/challenges were all just crappy ways to sink your time and added little to no value to the experience. Overall they are doing a pretty shabby job but thanks to great work they had their company do in the past aka Blizzard north/south they can keep milking this community for all it is worth. HOTS will follow in D3's tracks in being completely unfinished and take your money first and fix the game later.

Yours, not many others. Non-ladder players are the majority, and mostly we liked the campaign.

Just preordered mine! Can't wait to get the key!


Also, everyone whining about the pricing has apparently never watched a movie in theaters (or purchased their own DVDs), or doesn't plan to play for more than 5 hours.

Blizzard does not provide release dates and then delay games. The just delay giving us the release date.

Anybody mind telling me what's included in the beta? Is it just multiplayer?

And, is it only from Amazon? An earlier poster said that other retailers are giving them out too?

Do you receive one beta key per HotS copy bought/ pre-ordered through TL/ Amazon?

I have two younger brothers and so I'm considering buying three in advance (as I did with WoL), and so I'm hoping to receive three beta keys (one for each of us). Will I receive three beta keys if I buy them all together? Do I need to purchase all of them separately?

Also, what if I already have a beta key? Is that irrelevant?

Having talked to some Blizzard employees, I am under the impression that they shuffle people around from team to team depending on what is most pressing.
