In addition, purchasing any War Chest Skin Bundle will grant you an immediate access to Ranked play.
- Also, throughout the duration of the War Chest: BlizzCon 2019, players will be able to unlock free rewards, including classic Brood War-inspired skins for the Marine, Zealot, and Hydralisk, with no additional purchase necessary.

The skins can be previewed on NA currently and I have to say the new Terran unit skins absolutely have little TL horse logos on them.
|
is that a Team Liquid horse head on the Terran units? or is it just a generic horses head? or am i seeing things?

It's not exactly a TL logo but surely that's the intended association.

That's tough to say for certain. The general Knight chess piece symbol is often used in marketing.
I have a marketing piece for one of my products that displays a knight chess piece with a caption " Part Work Horse .. Part Strategist"
Also, "The Knights of Tyrador" phrase seems to indicate its part of the Starcraft lore.

Well, given the long history of TL in the Starcraft franchise, at the very least this is a nod. If it's unintentional that's just funny.
However, it's not a horse, it's actually a unicorn. I noticed when looking at the decal.

Hm, not to keen on the remote controlled antenna zergs, I do like the Terran skins and some of the Protoss skins though.
And the Classic Hydra is cool.
|

No building-skins? Terrible idea. We need more building-skins.
Btw. Since the patch many people can't start the game. Had this problem myself. Now I can start the game but it always crashes after 1v1.
Terrible.

What did you do to fix it? I can't start it either

Nothing. But as I said. Now I can start it but the game crashes after 1v1.

Where are you guys seeing the skins? in-game?
|
The game crashes constantly for most if not all mac users. Great patch!

How does it work watching streamers etc for rewards etc? I think my periods of inactivity have generally coincided with previous warchests
|
Can someone tell me how long it usually takes for the all the stages of a warchest to unlock? I haven't bought one of these before.
|
anyone a direct link to the new Skins? I can't find it and Google can't find it aswell (?).

Seeing BW Ultras will be so cool and weird at the same time.
|
Pretty hyped to get the BW workers, Zealots, Marines, Hydras, BCs, Carriers, and Ultras.

this happened a few patches ago too. really annoying

don't see classic ultra in the skins menu yet, but the rest are there
|
Yeah. It’s crashing for me after every game. Win, lose, rewind. Any post game crashes the whole thing.

does the tech team only work like 1 day a week? guess i can't play until at least next week...

You can play. It just crashes after every game. The time to restart Starcraft is less time than it take to properly rage about a cannon rush.

Go to connections in your twitch account settings. There will be a list of things you can connect to, including battle.net.
After that, find a streamer with the warchest plugin, enable that plugin, and then you'll gain warchest XP just by watching streams.

Some neat things for the skins:
-Terran units have horse head decal
-Reaper thrusters are blue (mech thrusters too)
-Ghost is a female model without a helmet
-Most of the zerg units have what look like mind control helmets with antenna
-Tech looks like it's bolted onto the zerg rather than being full robots like simulant
-Viper and corruptor (and brood lord) actually have a couple of thrusters to propel them
-DT has a single sided spear held in a reverse grip
-archon regalia is very unique looking
-Immortal has what looks like an exposed powercore in its abdomen
-a lot of the toss tech looks like it's chiseled out of some type of dark ore, more edges/less rounded
-many of the energy effects are a light teal color

Still a few hours before it becomes available, sadly.

Does anybody know if the classic Ultralisk in the pictures above is unlockable with this warchest?
Edit: Guess not, can't see it under the Ultra skins, maybe next year?

true that -

Can you please add more maps for 4v4 and 3v3? One new map per season is not enough. Not to mention the one map added in 4v4 last season was not good in my opinion, therefore have it vetoed. Also please remove old estate. Enough of that map
I miss Extinction, Sand Canyon, Lava Flow and so on. Why can't you guys bring back some classic 4v4 maps like you do with 1v1 sometimes? Still a lot of people playing team games, please give more attention.

Where can we purchase the Home Story Cup XX bundle?? I know it was announced on the 4.10.4 Patch, but there is no forum topic for that one :o
Neither in-game nor in the Blizzard Store is there any clue about its whereabouts.
