I can't believe I'm saying this but i think its too soon, they seem to promise so many things and Terran still don't have any replacement for the warhound.

Well, I doubt Blizzard have set an internal date themselves. They are in the middle of balancing beta, still trying out weird spells etc. So only depending on how the beta goes, they are able to set a proper reliable release date.
Micro at its best is like an elegant dance between two people trying to achieve a similar end.

Clan is the only one they have managed to complete from that list during the past 6 months right? Do you guys believe the rest of those 6 are so much easier to add to the game that they manage to do all of them in the next 4 months?
No they cant.

They will charge 40USD or € or 100AUD for a patch that will be released as unfinished as WoL and D3 were.


you are stupid.... Half of features on the list are finished...

don't mind paying for multi + single, but it would be great to have alternate purchase options for ppl who only want multi ^_^;

Would be awesome. I still didn't play the single-player campaign in WoL so I highly doubt I'll play the HotS one,

People forgetting that $40.00 is blizzards price for digitl version. This is always $5-10 more than what you pay for a copy via any other retailler.

Without much research i can pre order a physical copy for "Price Promise £29.86" so im pretty happy with the price

And if that is the release date, lol blizzard failed on that one xD

Wow at all the people saying $40 is too expensive for an expansion... Should try living in Australia! Most games here at release cost a good $90, often more depending on where you get it from...

And no it isn't just 'a few new units', it is an new campaign and shitload of Bnet features... That shit doesn't just develop itself you know, somebody has got to get paid.

Just stop reading his post after 40 dollars for one terran unit. Then everything becomes clear.

Edit: I love the SC1/BW campaigns but the WoL campaign was really average. It isn't that fun to replay and very very easy even on the most challenging settings. The only difficult mission on my first go was Supernova. I'd be thrilled to be able to purchase MP only

Ya but most of the jobs over there pay stupid $ per hour. My cousins are just "concrete pumpers" and are earning $35,000 - $40,000 plus :S

Job is exstinct in the UK, let alone does not get near that amount of money.

$40 is on the high side for an expansion pack but still within reasonable bounds. WoW expansions cost $40, for example. I would have expected $30 to $40 for any normal expansion pack. Anything above or below would be ridiculous.

Just like BW and TFT? Well, you can play only WoL though. No need to buy HotS.

I don't really buy this, when has Blizzard ever not announced the release date themselves? Predictions by retailers have always been false.

edit: whoops, I should read more carefully.

That's an improvement. I heard for other RTS games, the amount of people who plays online is more like 10%. Must be all the custom games and stuff.

Neat. I'm more interested in seeing what happens in the beta though, but I know in the end I'll buy HotS.

The standard price is bullshit? O.o We knew years ago that the expansions would be priced as expansions. $40 is standard price for an expansion to a full priced game. Cheaper expansions are the exception, not the norm.

This isn't a prediction by a retailer. The original picture is from Blizzard's own website.
