Blizzard have made a change of heart and not burden the gamers by combining Heart of the Swarm & Legacy of the Void into 1 nice expansion priced for a cool USD50 after massive criticism over its overpriced SC2WOL

Bobby would charge you 100USD for each expansion and 'premium access' is available at 15USD a month.

Blizzard said that the price will be treated as an expansion so it should be cheaper but Activision may have the final say.

we bought the game for rm249 max or less
the most expensive PC game ever in history
n yet the expansion is about the price
expansion is not a new game for god sake
just an addition / extra content

Just boycott and don't buy... make it worldwide boycott.. because this is from their website

CODE
If I buy StarCraft II but don't buy any of the expansion sets, will I still be able to play online?

Yes. This will work similarly to Warcraft III and the original StarCraft, which maintained separate online gaming lobbies and ladders for expansion set players and players with the base Warcraft III or StarCraft.

He'll rip out the in-game cutscenes and charge you for that as well!

Your boycott is late by more than 10 years since that's the exact same system they've been using since Diablo and Starcraft.

well to be fair, we actually bought 2 copies of SC2 (since we have a SEA account and now a NA account that can login both at once on different machines)...
it'll be cheaper usually since the game engine is reused etc...
though nt sure hw much wit activision invovlements

It is should be slightly cheaper i presume...since it's an expansion rather than a full game and it requires SC2 Wings of Liberty in order to play...

that would be impossible. you're probably just not at a level to feel that its significant.

Try playing Storm of the Imperial Sands custom map on NA. smile.gif
That map is a good test to see how much it lags to play on NA.

Melee games are usually not that badly affected.
Until you try to block the ramp with a force field when the opponent stims and rushes up it.
That's when you feel that you need to compensate for the slight lag and cast it earlier.
If not it'll be too late...

its the same actually, custom or melee. imho, space dota pathing and unit movement coding have issues.

Oh haha. The one that has a chance to stun skill is it?
Was telling my team mate on the same lane to stop feeding to that tosh as he keeps moving in front and getting killed.
He managed to feed him 5 times before leaving. sweat.gif

You're right on the coding issues. It jerks each time when too many people cast skills.
Just that when I play at Sea, the response is a lot better.
I tried one game in NA, I clicked to move my character to follow the guy after my blink storm and charge storm, and it started hitting the mobs first before swinging around to start chasing, by that time he was long gone... sweat.gif

Later on it only got worst. Maybe due to the coding. Gave up playing it on NA. tongue.gif
If play also must play a range character. Melee sux when it lags like that.
