I'm interested to hear what my fellow TL'ers have planned for March 12.
Will you immediately hit the ladder and make a run for GM? Dive right into the campaign and beat it on brutal in 1 day?
Please share your plans for the 12th, how you will obtain the game and what you will do for the first few days upon release.
Personally, I will probably play the campaign at a rate of 1 mission per ~2 days. I'm really looking forward to hitting the ladder right away. Depending on what league I am in after placement will dictate how much I ladder initially (a lower league placement will encourage me to play more (~10 games/day) compared to a mid-league placement (~2-3 games/day).
I pre-ordered from Amazon, depending on when it arrives (if it comes late), I will probably download a digital copy so I can get in on the action right away. I came to Wings of Liberty very late (December 2012), so I look forward to getting started on time for HOTS and competing on a level playing field (at least in theory )

Campaign. I always play the campaign straight through. Probably on Hard.
Then ladder as Terran. Loving HoTS atm.

haha that is one aspect of SC2 I never really got into.
Nothing satisfies me more than to own a Dark Voice or Tassadar portrait player while I still rock my default Thatcher portrait
I alternate between Thatcher and Kuchinsky depending on my mood. If I am winning and feeling relatively satisfied with my level of play atm then I play as Kuchinsky but if I am sucking and on a losing streak I rock Thatcher because it makes me laugh seeing it on the Versus screen and it lightens my mood pre-game.

That's right! Kind of sucks it's on a Tuesday =/ Good opportunity for me to get a head start!

Just regular laddering, nothing different from what i do now i think.
I have no interest in campaign, haven't even started Wol campain even though i played over 3k games lol.

I agree. I prefer to play on Hard the first time. Brutal can be silly and it is so easy to get caught off-guard, particularly early game. I've lost quite a few missions on Brutal in the first 5 minutes from an early attack I was not ready for.
|
I will play the campaign, finish it at brutal (like I did with the WoL one) and then go to NA ladder to warm up, hit master there, go to EU ladder, Hit master there and then the real challenge, go Korean ladder and being owned by plat dudes!
|
Campaign, but on friday evening (3 days after original release) playing it on hard/brutal str8 through, school would make that a bit complicated and less... enjoyable
|
I will go to a local game-store, within a ceremony and exactly 40 bucks in my pocket and together with my beste friend. I see us both buying a copy and then going back to my place, where our pcs are allready running. Then we are playing all night long a mixture between laddergames and campaign, looking to get the more achievements than the other one.
|
|
First a few campaign missions, then my five placement matches. Then mostly ladder until the weekend where I will complete the campaign in one long marathon setting.
|
Call my mum and wish her a happy birthday.

Watch HOTS pre-launch event and be sat waiting for servers to come up with energy drinks pre-fuelled with amazing yoghurt+bananas combo :D
Destroy the campaign on some difficulty above normal (but not brutal, that shit's annoying in the way that a gold player can beat it with a guide and enough time, but its borderline impossible to do for the first time even as a masters player without restarting each mission like 5-10 times simply because of doing something wrong - for example on Supernova - oops, i should have built like 3 more banshees really early on, or oops, i wasnt supposed to lose that much of my ground army, i clearly need it at >this< stage as well, it was not meant to be sacrificial)
After that, take Masters league and get a solid footing in every matchup. I did not play beta yet aside from a couple games because i have like 150+ms ping to the beta server.- With the amount of chaos in the new game it could shift everything a lot, so i plan to continue what i have been very recently (playing a lot, or even more than i have been) and get a hundred or two games down in the first 5-14 days to establish my position
|
I'll be playing the campaign all the way through while streaming it, got a few friends who like the SC lore but don't want to deal with playing it. Then I'll probably sleep a bit and rest up for a couple years of HotS laddering. I'll also set an appointment with a psychologist for that Friday since I play Zerg and get to fight hellbat drops and skytoss. ;P
|
Probably ladder Korea, best way to get good games early on (like in the beta), and if you can get high master/GM you can get a lot of sick games and replays against top players. Playing on NA, even if you get GM the people you play against will never leave you feeling "wow, that guy was SO much better than me, I can learn a LOT". I love that feeling from playing Koreans, it's a totally different kind of getting owned that you can only experience there :D
|
|
Probably gonna play the campaign first. Expecting Blizzard servers to be down for the majority of the first week anyway
|
Probably campaign initially and then start to ladder on the 2nd or 3rd day after release.
|
Its rough cause I have 10 days to take off work by April, but the week of March 11 to 15 my office is extremely short staffed so I have to work that week. So, I won't even get the game til late in the day, probably too tired to play much that night. If I start the campaign I'll probably play it all in one sitting so I'll wait til the weekend for that
|
campaign + some micro based allins that you then will be able to enjoy lag free ^^
|
Campaign first definitely cant wait for it
|
I will be doing campaign first. With the state of the game atm, it isn't too enjoyable, at least for me.
I'm going straight for Brutal campaign whilst I let the meta sort itself out. Won't be in a rush though, as in my last year of uni and have to get that sorted too.
|
|
Already told my boss I will not be working. Will probably try to marathon the campaign and get it out of the way so I am free to ladder without worrying about it!
|
Play the campaign and then ladder all night and stream!
|
Campaign on brutal! You could 4 rax your way through WOL So I'm thinking ling bane muta v everything! Then straight to losing all of my placement matches so I can enjoy this game again instead of being so stressed!
|
Campaign on brutal, no doubt I could dive into the multiplayer part during the beta, so I'm most relaxed when concerning laddering. Just give me a decent storyline and some achievements on a stick that need some thought and I'm happy.
|
Campaign on hard first so I can experience the game then play it again on Brutal for the challenge.
|
I will skip my classes at the university Tuesday. Hit the local store where I preordered my copy and start the campaign at hard. I am expecting a great story again. Maybe I will play a few ladder games if the servers are good at the start.
|
Throw some Hadoukens and not care.
|
Nothing because blizzard will fuck up the servers for the first 7 days anway
|
My plans are to alternate school and work from 7 am to 10 pm and come home sad that I didn't get to play ;_;
|
There will be a mid-night launch party here, so I will go there, have some fun while waiting and then pick up my preorder. Go home and play the campaign all night or until I finish it (it depends if I have work to do or not).
|
Planning to take the day off work, and marathon the campaign as much as possible :D
|
I couldn't get the day off so I'll be playing a bit of singleplay methinks, then sleep and go on to the night shift :-S
|
1v1 Ladder. I did not even bother to play the BW campaign.
|
|
Sitting in my flat waiting for the post which will most likely be late
|
I'm going to take few days off from work and play campaign through with hard/brutal difficulty, then ladder as much as possible I suppose. I hope blizzard servers are not down whole week after release. :D
|
Maybe change OP to March '13 XD Play campaign for 2 days then mass ladder
|
campaign, and with my vastly improved sc skills (i didnt play bw seriously) ill start on brutal
|
Fortunately, My midterms are all on March 7th and 8th so the following few weeks of school will be fairly relaxed.
So I guess I'm going to stock up on red bull, skip class, and marathon that campaign!
Then I'm gonna stream some ladder like it's nobody's business. Hopefully I won't have forgotten all my strategies in 12 days
|
|
When I get my copy, I'll retreat into my room and start playing campaign.
I shall reemerge after it is complete.
|
Play some WoL. Won't buy HOTS before a few time, balance will change too much and I'll wait to see how this goes. Not fan of HOTS from a terran point of view, looks like WoL too much.
|
Will probably be busy with other shit, namely school.
As for when I buy HotS :p :
1) Campaign when I can set aside enough time to marathon it uninterrupted. I just want to run right through this thing.
2) One last sweep of the unit tester to make sure I'm still familiar with everything.
3) 5 custom games in which I max drones to 200 without getting supply blocked to warm up.
4) Say Farewell to WoL + Show Spoiler +
5) Ladder with Zerg.
edit:
1.5) Depending on how bad the story is this time I may have to be rushed to the emergency room after repeatedly bashing my head into my keyboard. Thus ending my day.
Seriously, if they puss out and go with another massive cliche with the zerg just being misunderstood and becoming good guys...
|
Campaign. On brutal and I want every achievement unlocked. After that I start laddering.
|
Well, if I was not going on a cruise, I would play through the campaign and farm the shit out of the achievements, then I would ladder, as zerg of course. Yea, not HotS for me until the 21st of March, when my cruise ends.
|

pretty much this except ladder as protoss
|
First go to uni :\ then campaign on hard, with brutal you have to focus on play good too much. Then laddering with random race.

You are crazy. If it looks like WoL too much, you might as well play HotS anyway O_o (although you are entirely wrong and terran is very different) Did I already mention you were crazy? :D
|
Campaign first. I want to enjoy the game first then I'll ladder.
|
Probably start the campaign 1st, and along the way lose all my placement matches and start my Random advanture from the very bottom to the very top that I can get.
|
Go to school and wait 3 more months till my exchange year is over so I can play video games again.
Yep, that's it for me :D
|
Popcorn, Coca Cola and Campaign!
|
Work and then some ladder at night.
|
Luckily, it comes out during my spring break. 1) Get it at the midnight release. 2) Take some melatonin so I can actually sleep. 3) Wake up at 9am and snag some breakfast. 4) Hit the gym for some cardio and ab training at 10. 5) Play campaign when I get home until I realize that it's now Friday and I haven't eaten or slept in 3 days. 6) By then ladder MIGHT be live, so snag my diamond league badge as Zerg and start 4hatching before pool.

Have you ever noticed that everyone is kinda crazy ? I played the beta as random. I feel protoss is fun, zerg is ok and terran is exactly the same as in WoL. No point to play HOTS if it's the same. I watched many pros playing HOTS and they play terran exactly the same way as terran is played in WoL. I'm terran player, I don't want to start a new race. If I was a new player, I would definitely pick protoss because HOTS adds a lot of new stuff to P. Terran has nothing (hellbat will be nerfed for sure and mine suck) so why would I spend 40 bucks for a game who doesn't deserve it ? Oh, new clan feature and new achievements ? Sorry, i'm no 12 yo --y
|
campain on easy... don't want to restart all missions 5 times like I had to for WoL :D
|
Campaign and Custom games with friends till I beat Campaign. Then off to Ladder! Protoss!
|
Ladder a bunch, maybe in team games with mah buddies if they're up for it. I have to finish WoL's campaign before thinking about HotS' :D
|
I live in California so I will be going to the launch party in Irvine. I've always wanted to go to one but wasn't able too cause I was working for Blizzard at the time Hopefully I'll be the first in line and get to meet some new people and have a great time. Then I'll play the campaign all the way through first before jumping onto ladder. I'm pretty excited for it!!
|
I'll jump into the campaign on brutal, probably spend 2-3 days beating it and enjoying it then go straight into ladder.
|
I'm going straight to ladder; I haven't even played the WoL campaign.

+1 on that How can you play multi before completing the campaign? It is such a good story!
|
I plan to play a ton of ladder.
I only play the campaign when there is a major server downtime, or I'm too drunk to play anything but campaign/customs.
|
I'll probably still be playing path of exile lol. But does anyone know if your ladder ranking will completely reset? If it does then I'll probably be doing some smurfing when it comes out lol.
|
Pretty pumped for the campaign so I'll probably get right into that. Normal for my first run through, just for more replay value really and to avoid having to restart missions because I don't know what's coming. I'd like to ladder a bit in between missions but I kinda just want to finish a playthrough asap to avoid spoilers. We'll see.
|

Go for brutal! Much better experience I think
I will play the campaign on brutal und doing every single achievement and then ladder!
|
Have the special collectors Edition Pre ordered at a store where I will immediately go in the morning and get it home, install it and beat the campaign on hard then Brutal then hundreds of times more on all difficulties and get all the achievements. Then Multi it is.
|
Ladder a bit, maybe play the campaign if it seems interesting.
I'm much more interested in the weeks and months after release, seeing how the meta evolves. Tournaments will be much more interesting again.
|
campaign all day and tomorrow, cannot wait to see kerrigan in action.
|
It's just occurred to me that I'm off work from the day the Beta goes down, to the day HotS comes out. So I'm going to be working, lol. I really should have planned my time off better.
|
Rock the ladder and than go tired as f**** to school!!!! :D
|

Normal stuff so Blog then Uni work, then do some of the campaign before moving on to the ladder.
|
I'll troll the ladder for a week or so and exploit all the changes as much as I can to get cheap wins till the people who are not in the beta get use to the new stuff. Then i'll stop laddering and do the campaign on hard, redoing each mission till I have all the achievements for it. Once that's done I'll go back and finish them all on Brutal then go back to ladder being legit.
|
Go home from school early and probably take the next day off so I can finish the campaign on normal. I've always enjoyed playing the campaigns from Blizz games. After that I'll probably do loads of team games before doing some 1v1. Had a lot of friends who played WoL for the first month after the release and then quit. Some of them will be playing HotS for the same amount of time probably. So I want to make the most of that. After that finish the campaign again on brutal + a lot of games vs the AI. I know a lot of people don't enjoy playing with the AI but I do quiet a bit. Did it so much in BW and with the new AI features in HotS It'll be a blast for me =D
|
You can play the campaign offline, right? Meaning a Diablo III-style opening day won't have the same effect?
Either way, I will play the campaign first. I think I might play brutal, to make it last the longest, although I might consider hard, to get a good reason to play it again later after I'm finished. Harder difficulties tend to be more fun the second times, not first.
|
Probably will go right for the Campaign. Hoping for more varied missions compared to WoL.
|

yep first week is campaing week ^^
|
Learn for the "Math III for engineers" exam i got three days later :/.
|
Campaign I want to watch all the cinematics
|
Campaign on brutal, then multiplayer.
|
In case i buy the game it's going to be campaign, just like old times.
|
Campaign, achivments and ladder =)
|
Gonn hope my collectors edition is here and then play 1v1 all day rushing my extra cool ultra's :D hahaha

Honestly i think i'll still be stuck in SimCity
|
Probally playing something else waiting for the bnet servers to come back online. Happend with WoL and Diablo 3, sure dsnt seem like anything diffrent will happen with HotS's launch...
|
probably will be waiting for my copy of Hots to arrive
|
What's the best way to buy HotS such as to have it when it comes out? I didn't get the collectors edition with wol so I think I'll get it for the expansions. If I order it online it'll arrive a week or so after it launches right? And my local gamestop probably won't carry the collectors edition right? Since sc2 isn't that popular of a game. Getting the digital download would be the fastest way to play but then I can't get the collectors edition right? On topic I'll be playing the campaign on brutal for my first run because I like a challenge even though I rock silver level zerg skills lol.

|
LOL. I'll probably play the campaign straight on easy and get revenge on one of my friends.
Me and my friends have this thing where if we get to read the latest Naruto manga, we announce that the manga is released online by texting spoilers to everyone.
Last time, one fucker texted everybody what happend at the end of WoL. He finished it on easy on day 1 that bastard.
|
I really want to play the campaign first. Then I will probably ladder. I preordered offline so I won't be receiving my copy for a couple of days - no need for me to rush to ladder games immediately!
|
|
Im going to lose a couple of multilayer games and make a QQ thread about balance on the battlenet forums. It will probably get buried by the other 100 QQ threads though.
|
Assuming I have my computer built by then, I'll charge through the campaign on max difficulty, getting all the achievements.
|
play the campaign on brutal...then write up my thoughts on the experience.
|
going to play like 10 ladder games or so until it starts matching me agaisnt people my own level then never touch solo until it resets my mmr again. going to play campaign on brutal all in one sitting and watch streams from then on out. standard fare.
|
Gonna probably play the campaign...like watching pro starcraft a lot more than playing anyways.
|
Probably straight into ladder most of the day. I'll play a healthy combination of 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 and see what's happenin.
|
Gotta play through that campaign. Blizzard is like the last company that can make an actually good RTS campaign, so I expect some interesting missions.
|
I'm probably gonna power through the campaign, then start laddering. Just like WoL
|
I will play the campaign,maybe do challenges or whatever else there is but no way i'm playing ladder first day.
|
Campaign, can't fucking wait. Of course the laddering comes as well.
|
Ladder all the way, still haven't finished WoL campaign because i hate single player!
|
Going to watch streams untill ive got any knowledge on how shit works and how the metagame plays out. then maybe ill start laddering
|
Laugh when i will see all the cry because of the server problem.
|
I never played the WoL campaign so my plan is:
I have an exam on 12 of March, afternoon so I will not play HotS on the release day but on the 13th of March I will start with WoL and then do HotS. Like a marathon. I'll try to make both games in one day. Will probably play on normal/hard (mainly because I'm interested in the story and wants to be done with the games in a day). So, streaming wol+hots-marathon on March 13 :D
|
I love having hard copy so I will be lined up at best buy or Future shop at midnight coming home with a couple energy drinks and going at it
|
I will be hoping that the game will be ready to be picked up right when I get out of class!
|
Going for the campaign first of all. I have school that day, but not on the 13th, so staying up late for sure.
|

Going to go to school, learn some stuff, come back, maybe play hots with a friend.

March 12th is like a day after a public holiday here T_T
Well I have a day off on the friday that week anyway :D
|

The first thing I'm gonna do is hit ranked, hide a probe in their base and 4gate or cannon rush. That's how I get down. After making some poor nerd rage, I'll probably play campaign. I'm quite interested in the story and it's not like I can't jump on ladder anytime I want in between.
I got BM'd so much on HotS already just because I play protoss. "You're bad, only make skytoss" (after outplaying them in macro games). So I guess I'm gonna remind them of what caused all the rage back when WoL came out.
|
Dive right into the campaign and beat it on brutal in 1 day
then after that, going for top 8 master
|
Ladder untill I hit mid masters, then do some campaign.. Preordered from game.. but we all know what there like.. they gave Beta keys out 2 days late for christ sake.
Will probably get a digital download.
|
Campaign on brutal and then go crush the ladder!
|
on the 12th grind ladder, still need a plan for 1st to 11th of March ><
|
My spring break is the week of March 12th :D
Campaign is first on the list for me ^_^
|
Probably play dota2 huehuehue. But literally, unless I hear good things about the campaign i'm not even sure i'll bother getting it. Not a fan of HotS MP at all.
|
probably i will do some fight against error 37
|
Open the editor and see all the unique tilesets and doodads Blizzard is currently hiding from us in beta. Then go right to ladder!
|
Buy a whole lot of candy and never sleep until I'm GM and get mah sponsors so I can live off this sc2 skit.
Naaaa just gonna ladder and take few days off from work.
|
Work and then PC bang, mainly to see if the korean version can have the story in English, then I'll buy that ^^
|
i think im just gonna go unranked ladder and go random and get all lvls and portraits... week after that when people have figured out the game i will probably steal a build and go with my WoL race on the ladder! i do have alot of school that week -,-.
|
|
First I go to school, wich ends 12:50 or propably earlier, then I take bus to home/Go and buy the game and if I pre-ordered it it has came whit post, then I install it, play ayb<e campaing so far as I think is good, play few unranked games, and then hop on ladder an play whole day.
|
On March 12, when WoL is officially put down, I will create a new ICCup account and try to at least do better than my old D- ... not too excited for playing HotS, but it's half-way entertaining to watch so I'll still watch some of the better Koreans' streams.
|
So happy it comes out over spring break, so if I am not hanging out with hotties in mexico (won't happen rofl.) ill be playing HOTS. My plan is to buy some some snacks and drinks and play my placement matches on the ladder, and then proceed to beat the story in a day or 2.
|
Took the day off from work. Going to alternate between the campaign and multi-player. Trying to get in enough practice now in the beta to get a high placement!
|
probably just never log on starcraft again as until a huge patch or LotV
|
1. Log onto BNet. 2. Pick zerg. Find game. 3. Send overlord to opponent base. 4. Dance. 5. Giggle. 6. *overjoyed and easily amused*
|
I want to beat the campaign first but I will probably only beat the first 8 or so missions and then do some ladder matches. There's something special about ladder on release day.
|
After the Diablo fiasco I'm scared to get hyped. I'll wait until the 15th and finish the campaign.
|
I will play campaign if I buy hots - multi is now such a shit for zerg that I dont wanna play it.
|
Since I have spring break during march 12, I'll beat the campaign overnight then start laddering random for the whole week.
|
my spring break is the week before hots, sooooo damned sad about that. what an opportunity wasted. But ya Ill probably dip out of work a few hours early the day of release to own some face (hopefully) on ladder. Ill probably roll through the campaign slowly and just take me time but i really am looking forward to playing with new units and strats.
|
Pre-orderd at Game-Stop so I can pick up on the 12th with no hassle an then BAM into the brutal campaign.
As a Zergy this is the expansion I've been waiting for. Once the campaign is completed on brutal it is back to ladder to farm...
|
I have a exam the day before so after that I'm off for 3days.
Yeah I'm gonna complete the campaign and then play some ladder :D
|
I've always played starcraft for the story so Im going straight for the story and then hit the ladder and try to see what league i can get
|
Earn achievements for a week or two, then start stealing builds from the GSL.
|
Play Campaign, once I am done this I can play Multiplayer.
|
I got Friday off work to play! I figure by then any early problems will be resolved.
Edit: I'll probably start with the Campaign, since I'm already in the beta...

This is just ... so true! TT

I will start the campaign immediatley, only have to finish the last third of the Broodwar campaign. Luckiely i dont have to go to school, because the final examination is on that day, so i will be playing all day :D.
|
hellbat keeps getting wierder and wierder
|
complete the campaign and get as many achievements as possible, then study some build order before ladder
|
Probably gonna play like 10 games or so because i dont have that much on March 12. but 2 weeks later i'm gonna ladder for one week more than some pros do in a week
|
Get my copy then install (hopefully no sever errors)
Then explore the UI first then Play the campaign. Then I'll go ladder once I finish it. I don't plan to add friends asap haha
|
Go to school, and then kick the campaign's ass! No need for learning meta game in HOTS right away, thats what the beta was for hehe
|
i'm going to play the fuck out of that campaign, and then random my way to masters
|

This sound like ladder to me :S I'll be coming back from skiing that day, so i'll probably buy it online as soon as I am home and I will ladder the shit out of it.

I pre-ordered the CE from Amazon. No idea when it'll get to my house, so I'll start playing when I get home from work. Probably the campaign on brutal. My wife and I are planning to celebrate by making Thorritos and MotherChip Cores. She came up with another good food pun but I can't remember it now.
And then I took the 13th off! So I'll play all freaking day so no one can spoil the campaign for me! YEEEEEAH!
Then I'll start doing quick matches once I'm done with the camp.
|
Eh if history is right, the game servers will be extremely laggy. I am hoping to maybe do a launch party that weekend.
|
Complete campaign, then play Toss begrudgingly until I finally make the switch to Terran like I've always wanted to.
|
Make like Artosis and do nothing but cheese and all-ins for the first 2-3 weeks.
|
I have evening lecture and tutorial until 9pm and afaik it hits at 5pm in Australia so I doubt I will have time to play but on Wed I have a day off and I am going to hit KR ladder hard (hopefully)
|
Kill myself....
...because I'm a baneling and would do anything for the swarm!
|
Already scheduled my time off work. I will be cracking out on multiplayer. Placed into silver in HotS beta because of a loss to widow miner bronze terran (had and still have no idea how to deal with widow mine drops), even though I'm rank 4 plat in WoL, so I have a very long ladder to climb to get to where I want to be.
|
Brutal campaign for 12-14 hours ez =P, I played Z in WoL, now I play T in Hots, kinda backwards I guess but I cant wait for the campaign and reaper-lings =D
|
Take a duvet day and ladder all day
|
I'm going to install it on the 12th then wait untill friday. On friday after work i will buy myself a couple monsters, sit down, and play to my heart's content. (Campaign first, then ladder)
|
Got my reading break that week so I'll definitely finish the brutal campaign right away.
|
|
|
After I finish with everything that is school related, I think I'll do some campaign.
However, if enough friends are online, I may decide to jump on the ladder as that is not something I have done in quite a long time. (Took a break from SC2 to enjoy LoL.)
|
I'll be mass gaming with my pal nubainmuscle :D .
|
Well, the 12th i'm going be in classes from 8:30 am to 6:45 pm, which include at least one exam; I preordered from amazon so I dont expect it to arrive till the 13th or 14th; thursday is going to be another 8:30 to 6:45 day with at least one more exam; Friday I might be free, but saturday I'll have a 3 hour exam from 9 am to 12; The following Monday I'll have a 5 page paper due on yet-to-be-known topic, soooooo... yeah... Heart of the Swarm probably wont start for me until the following week at the earliest.

Campaing first and every now and then mp. MP obviouly after campaing has been completed.
|
Play the first few levels, because after all this is a game with singleplayer, and then just ladder all day.
|
throw wings of liberty the trash game that it is in the garbage bin
|
Should have done that waaaaay sooner if it was trash I've got new plans! Win that nvidia competition and go to Versailles! Provided I can get the night off from work (fat chance there, everybody wants to have the night shift off). And then there is the tiny matter of actually winning the competition...
|
Campaign on hard, not brutal at first cos I dont want risk getting stuck. Then ladder.
|
took the whole week off :D Start with campaign and then jump into ladder
|
Hope that my game is delivered in time and play placement matches...

Does MMR reset at HOTs launch?
|
I will probably keep working on my own projects, I dropped out of sc2 in November and HotS doesn't seem exciting enough to bring me back. Being a new game even the streams are pretty bland at the moment, maybe once they balance it I might get it but until then the few new units and couple of single player missions aren't enough to get me to buy it for march 12 but have ya'll

I for one am excited about playing through the campaign and tackling its achievement challenges. With WoL, I ran through it in Normal to experience the story and tech features, then on Hard to get the specific 'hard' achievements, and finally worked by way through Brutal once I had a better understanding of how each level works and what was required to beat it. This time around, I may do the opposite and go right through it on Brutal and then drop down to Hard for the Mastery achievements, and then Normal for any other Story achievements I may have missed. I figure that once you go through Brutal, everything else will seem like a piece of cake though working up to Brutal does definitely have its advantages of a better learning curve for each level's objectives and surprises.

Large brief and motion due before a federal court on the 14th. Therefore, I am hoping just to sneak home on the 12th to get a few games in before bed. However, the night of the 15th through the 17th is going to be a HOTS marathon.
|
I will rush the campaign until the week end. And during it I will play multi on "LAN" with 3 other friends :D

Absolutely.
|
Play through God of War: Ascension. Saving Heart of the Swarm for the 13th. I never play Blizzard titles on day one. Poor server hamsters usually have issues and logging in usually proves frustrating.
|
I'm campaigning first. I have too many questions. I'll ladder after.
