That's odd, I thought the exact same thing about your post.

Maybe next time you could just avoid spewing random hate into a thread that you're obviously not interested in? I think it would be better for all of us that way...

It's a marketing scheme similar to what they did with Diablo 3 and the unlocking of hero nodes, obtaining banners, unlocking stories, etc.

It's a way for people to get hyped, which Blizzard is good at. It's mildly entertaining for me, but it won't sway me to purchase their expansion.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

I also find it funny how people think the employed staff at blizzard are so multitalented. I doubt it's David Kim working on this; or the b.net development team.

Oh, I would also like to bring up the leaked product release timeline:

[image loading]

The mysterious 'SC2 Phoenix' seems to be slated to be released around the time of HotS. As we all know, we are rapidly approaching HotS's release. Hmmm...

Unless this is an ARG for HotS, which would be disappointing tbh.
I think this should be getting more attention - not for the hilariously wrong release dates, but for "SC2 Phoenix". Why have an ARG for HoTS now, when basically all of the information about the game is already known? Why have it in a way that will only attract current SC2 fans? And why have it, as someone else theorized, probably scheduled to end after the HoTS release? Of course it's possible that Blizzard will disappoint us, but I'd be looking out for an announcement of something new...

It was leaked, so it wasn't shown to the public base of investors anyway. Maybe to the board of investors.

I don't agree with the guy, nor his attitue, but it's possible he's not assuming those same employees are doing this instead of other work, but rather Blizzard could be hiring more programmers, designers etc. instead of people for viral marketing through social media.

Haha, I know exactly how you feel

I find it hilarious that people think more people equals more stuff or better quality on projects so complicated like modern games and last time I checked, Blizzard was hiring.

The people they are targeting with this probably never visited teamliquid and only played single player.

Blizzard trademarked "Project Blackstone" a couple months ago, so I'm pretty positive that it isn't just an ARG for HotS.
