But hell, that's not the only thing. Tomorow morning, our Starcraft II forums will be completely functioning!
Get to work peons... I meant SCVs.

 

[Pyritie]

our full sc2 forums should be up soonish... waiting on ralle to do that

 

[Kwah]

wahoot!

 

[Klingo]

Now , Just need money to buy it. But the game will be release in three version , protoss , terran and zerg or one that combine all?

 

[Statharas]

Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of Aiur or something like that.
Main, Expansion 1, Expansion 2.

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Am installing it now

 

[VeljkoM]

Each campaign acts like expansion and is bought separately. But nice to hear that it is finally ready. Good bye Beta hello real deal.

 

[Anti_Bodies]

yeeeeahhhhh!!!!

 

[Klingo]

Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of Aiur or something like that.
Main, Expansion 1, Expansion 2.

does that mean I need to buy wings of liberty to get the protoss one?

 

[Statharas]

Yeah. And Heart of the Swarm, i think at least.

 

[VeljkoM]

Legacy of the Void...to bad protoss campaign is last.

 

[Jaret]

Was finally about time it comes out...

 

[PurplePoot]

Not all of us live in Europe.

 

[Berb]

Is the editor pretty much the same as it is in the beta? If so then I don't know if I'm going to buy it or not. Warcraft III is still a better game, in my opinion.

 

[PurplePoot]

In terms of Ladder (and, I would assume, the campaign) it's a way better game. I can't comment on the editor because I haven't used it much, but it seems decent from what I've seen.

 

[Freyleyes]

Installing... Can't wait!

 

[Bribe]

This game took WAY too long to be released. Friday, I'm moving to Germany to live with my fiance. Not going to waste my money on some computer game.

 

[SomeRandomDeleted Dr. Cabbage0]

55 bucks?! Who do they think I am?! Bill Gates?!

 

[PurplePoot]

I don't see how it's a waste, but more power to you.

 

[TerranDominion]

Is there going to be Easter eggs units in StarCraft 2

will they have warcraft units in the galaxy editor?

Units should be in G-Editor:
Footman
Grunt
Archer
Ghoul

 

[Bribe]

I don't see how it's a waste, but more power to you.

The only thing I would do with that game is program it, because I'm out of the "game" phase, and 55 dollars is a huge waste when that's all I'd use it for.

2nd that statement

If a person program in editor they dont play the game; They are HELPING blizzard with their game for free and should not need to buy the game

Short said; The editor should be free to use for everyone

Tho Im a player when it comes to sc and sc2 so I have no excuse except:

55 BUCKS!?!?!?!? WTF

Then zerg and protoss campaign comes:
55 + 55 + 55 = 165 bucks?!

 

[Freyleyes]

And its awesome!

 

[Midnighters]

I don't see how it's a waste, but more power to you.

Its a waste of money to many people, because people such as me, can pay 55 dollars for a game, then 30+ for each expansion.

 

[Vengeancekael]

3 days left for me...

 

[Bloodbane7]

3 days left for me...

4 days left for me. . .

 

[StormWarriors2]

4 Hours left for me
I've been waiting 12 years for this game. I'm not going to wait.

Can't take a challenge? Sorry pops.

Alright, you go make Blazzard, and make Storecraft, with the best graphics you have ever seen, awesome physics, and release a Price editor for free.

 

[Just_Spectating]

the price is pretty steep.

considering that sc1 generation are all 12 years older.
which is already a whole childhood.

 

[Berb]

Can't take a challenge? Sorry pops.

What challenge?

Didnt say I wasn't ready to pay anything, I can pay for the game, BUT NOT 55 BUCKS

I could pay 30-35 bucks, but 55 iz inzane

And sry, I dont have a birrion dorrar and a birrion workers

 

[Kala]

Im not buying this
Never liked Starcraft, and i never will.
There is still nearly 80k players on TFT everyday

 

[Anti_Bodies]

Could you guys post up some screen shots of the editor, perhaps showing new features/units that weren't part of beta?

Edit: I don't suspect to get Starcraft II for a couple of days. Mine is comming in the mail I think. No Idea when it was shipped. Got it from Gamestop. Tomorrow/Wednesday I'm not home to play anyways (but have Iphone to view pix/youtube videos!)

Why dont you like starcraft? Dont like future-games/movies?

In 2-3 years wc3 wont have any gamers left coz of starcraft 2

 

[Deolrin]

So how much time till Digital Sales go live? 2 hours and 10 minutes or just 10 minutes?

 

[Bribe]

Just like StarCraft didn't have any gamers left after 9 years of WarCraft 3.

 

[Zombie]

Time to disappear until the cheering dies down.

 

[Deolrin]

Seems like the Battle.net servers are HEAVILY overloaded. Can't even log-in.

 

[Rui]

I have moved many threads to that... Map Development forum clone. I'm going to very angry if, by the time I recheck its pages this afternoon, I find two threads for the same project, which, yesterday, I did. People who created two threads better have them deleted by then.
Also, this forum will not support ideas or project recruitments. If you want to recruit a new crew, do it on the project thread.

 

[Misha]

Just like StarCraft didn't have any gamers left after 9 years of WarCraft 3.

you sir are so wrong

 

[elfian]

60$ only for the first part?! Hell no. I ain't buying this ever. Way too damn expensive. Ah... seems like I won't be able to use the stareditor How sad. Well WAR3 continues to have more than enough players, so yeah...

 

[SomeRandomDeleted Dr. Cabbage0]

Wich countries are we talking about? Ooooooh, you meant Korea!!
Ok then ur right.. Were a bit laggy for me to play on korean servers, had a ping of 999, but was fun to just watch the screen of a freezed starcraft

Now lets get past the sarcasm; Starcraft had very few players 1-2 years after warcraft 3 and world of warcraft came along
VERY few that made it hard to find players and create custom games, 99% played melee

60$ only for the first part?! Hell no. I ain't buying this ever. Way too damn expensive. Ah... seems like I won't be able to use the stareditor How sad. Well WAR3 continues to have more than enough players, so yeah...

Chill mate, we can buy a used game on ebay cheap within 3-6 months, til winter short said and that's when we need it, to get past the winter!

Well that's good for those who still plays wc3 I'm also going to play it once in a while.

But there is 10 times more on SC2 now. Also I fled from wc3 now. I don't think blizzard was prepared for this player masses trying to login. Also it takes toll on wow servers and wow players REALLY HATE THIS!!!


SC2 sucking some power of the wow servers isn't making hardcore wow players happy.

That makes me want to play SC2 even more, I love to see butthurt wow players! >

 

[Vengeancekael]

lol what's the problem with 60 euros???
They spent 100 million dollars and 10 years to make it and for such a good game, you won't be spending that much money?
Also it's the first of its release and the price will be reduced after 1-2 years.

 

[Deolrin]

I don't WANT to wait 1-2 years. T_T

 

[Anachron]

Guys you wated 12 years for a game that is actually costing 55 bucks, isn't that less enough for the long time you will play it?

 

[elfian]

Well maybe because 60 euros is 1/4 of the average salary in my country. And that's only the first part. We will have to buy the other two separately which means even more money. There is no place where I can pull this much money from, since I am still going to school. But even if I had, this is a shitload of money for a GAME.

EDIT: I waited only one year for it.

 

[Zombie]

Fuck that shit, I'm waiting a few years. Maybe I'll even have a computer that can run it at that time.

All this "OMG ASS SEE TWO IS RELEEEHZD" is going to cause mass panic again, making it impossible to play the game for a few weeks anyway.
