what i like is how they take your activity on SC2 as a factor if you are getting selected for the beta or not

Re: HotS Beta has started
It's unfortunate that the warhound is kinda a broken unit and that we have to see it removed. Like... the problem of mech vs toss is that immortals kill all their units, so the warhound was kinda also designed to beat the immortals, however the immortal is like, in theory, also the perfect unit to beat the warhound so they had to make it stupidly OP to be able to deal with immortals.

In my opinion widow mines and sespecially the battle hellions are already a nice addition to the terran mech army. Nothing else is necessarily needed to make mech viable agaisnt protoss.jerom wrote: It's unfortunate that the warhound is kinda a broken unit and that we have to see it removed.

Re: HotS Beta has started
Im still not sure.... Immortals are strong. But it's good to like test mech without it and see if it actually works out or not.HeJurmhoanni wrote:In my opinion widow mines and sespecially the battle hellions are already a nice addition to the terran mech army.

Re: HotS Beta has started
not that it wasn' clear, but it's nice to hear about it from an official
Source: http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/5347995653#5It's something we have always been exploring as a possiblity down the line, but we can't say whether it's going to happen for sure at this time. Right now we are first and foremost working on creating a functional clan and group system. Are you confident, however, that this is really all that you want? Nothing else?
