Will they get new script writers or new people working on the storyline ?

THe dialogue in the WoL campaign is just extremly corny and made me want to bash my head against the wall.

I (Some players) are deeply dissatisfied with Blizzards trend of worse and cheaper plots. The overmind is dead so he wasn't the arch bad guy. Kerrigan wanted free afterall! And so on. I was touched more by that marine, rocking back and forth in the trenches while DuGalles battlecruiser left for orbit than any of the million dollar shots in WoL. The "Sudden unexpected plot twists!" are shallow and forgettable.

Are you keeping the same writers and are they still writing from the same approach, heavily involving static (and mostly filler) characters? Will there ever be a return to the simpler but much more touching style of cinematics from the original game?

Remember the words of Lester and Sarge.


(Obviously i'm much to abrasive and opinionated so if there were any chance of this being asked.. well, I would completely expect it to be rephrased into a gentler one.)

you have to remember when you say obvious and cliche blizzard hears EPIC and AMAZING ;/

i'd love to see a decent story told in the sequel. WoL just felt sexist and out of touch. Every Woman in the whole universe falls in love with raynor as soon as they meet him and even the scientist lady couldnt function correctly without a man.

i was disapoint

Starcraft bromance! it started here.

I really hope we see more of the Hovermind in HotS, Zerg just doesn't feel right without an Hovermind.

A lot of characters in WoL(Pretty much everyone other than Jim, Tychus, Zeratul, Matt Horner, Kerrigan, and Arcturus and Valerian Mengsk) seemed to be there for little purpose other than filler and contributed very little, if at all, to the plot. Can we expect a similarly weak cast in HotS?


Harsh, man. Wonder what their reaction would be to it, though...

Will there be any reference/easter eggs involving the community, like using the primal scream from day[9]? What about the Esport scene? Like a offhand story about the shameful retreat of the cerebrate Egi Dra, after being fooled by a short statured protoss commander who hallucinated an army of Void Rays.

Would there also be a high ranking protoss named LuhcNim? :p

The WoL campaign had a system where you could upgrade and buy units to use further in the campaign. Will this system still be there, in a modified form, or will you have something totally different?

There's been a lot of talk about 'rpg' elements, is the system analogous to War3? What differences are there?

What are some of the new gameplay mechanics they're considering introducing? (Cloak, Light-Mechanical-Psionic-Etc additions to unit types, AE root with damage/damage/shielddamage, burrow mechanic, energy mechanic)

- Will there be a "hyperion" phase for character interaction and upgrade selection?
- One of the selling points for WoL is its "non-linear optional progression", however the side missions have very little influence to the main storyline. Will HotS improve this idea?
- Length of the campaign: How long is it compared to WoL?
- Duran has been missing throughout WoL and Kerrigan may have a bone or two to pick with him... will he be back this xpac?
- WoL successfully introduce a wide range of mission objectives other than "build a base and kill everything", what new elements can we expect in HotS?
- Favorite mission in HotS and some description?
- Any co-op missions available?
- The prophecy tells that Kerrigan is a key to repelling the xelnaga: will the story be progressed (or even resolved) in HotS or Legacy of the Void?
- Zerg without Kerrigan: will they go back on a rampage just like the fall of the Overmind?

Do you think the competitive scene for WoL and HotS will die and we will be left playing the newest expansion pack, LotV? StarCraft 1 pretty much died in multiplayer when BW came out. My question is, do you intend it to be a sort of "Choice" thing for the competitive multiplayer?

Will you try and kill WoL, then give up half-way, when HoTS comes out? As evidenced by the lawsuit against Kespa and BW.
In 2060, Blizzard finally admits that destructible rocks was a bad idea.
