Will the missions be linear and more focused around the main plot, or will they be spread out over a variety of "sub missions" as it were, like in Wings of Liberty? And if so will the player be able to pick and choose where he/she is going next?

Can you ask them about any official word on pricing and whether or not the expansion is stand-alone?

There has been a lot of confusion on forums about those issues.

Will blizzard continue to release new maps with the release of heart of the swarm? What about new tilesets? Is it possible some of the the custom games blizzard has previously shown, such as the dota custom game, will be apart of the heart of the swarm release?

Will WoL players be able to download a patch to allow them to play multiplayer games with HotS players? This relates to weather HotS is expansion or stand alone.

Soooooooo excited :D

Will there be any way to link the decisions made in WoL (save Haven/purge Haven, etc.) to the HotS? Or will an "actual" story line have taken place which has one or the other... or will it not matter at all?!

Is there any possibilities that players will have even more choices to make and will any of these have long running consequences?

Thank you!

I seem to recall them saying that the first choice, is considered canon.

Will HoTS have clan support? Also, will the Blizzard Custom Map Marketplace be part of Hots.

And which BW will be available in Multiplayer?<-- the sneaky MP question^^

In WoL, we got to play a section of Protoss. Will there be similar sections in HotS, or will it be entirely zerg? If there are such sections, will they continue to be "tasters" of the future games, or can we expect to see any more terran gameplay in the single player in the future?

I think asking about lan/cross server support is paramount.

it is, but its also a waste of time to ask... though asking in person is harder to dodge the question entirely, But will probably just give the poor response. Though i would love to hear blizzards thoughts on cross region, or the possibility of an international region.

My questions.

Will WoL choices matter at all in HoTS?

What has blizzard learned from feedback from WoL SP gameplay and story? (as the choices seemed really anticlimactic and didnt seem to matter at all....)

Also hope the story is less generic, and moves away from the generic sci fi plot line thats killing SP gaming for me =/ Collect a bunch of something, boom 1 shots all enemies at the end. the end.

another complaint i had about the story of WoL, is that it was so fragmented and individual sections really had barely any thing to do with anything. Will the story to HoTS be more connected?

A clarification on whether the expansion will be standalone or a standard expansion, And will achievements and stuff carry over.

Is there plans to add a more dynamic decal system to allow customization instead of just presets?

What will be the "base of operations" for the campaign. Raynor's ship the Hyperion served as your base of operations in WoL, the place you went to in between missions. What will be the Hyperions equivalent in HotS? Maybe a zerg hive? Or the hyperion again?

I am really really interested to see how they handle that.

Will they have different outcomes inside the missions, such as if you save XXX the mission will go this way and ultimately a different storyline as opposed to not saving XXX the mission will go another way?
