So...any lore fans here? Just finished reading Starcraft: Flashpoint.
It really, REALLY makes me wish that Christie Golden was just given free reign of the Starcraft story from the get-go and to do with it as she pleases, and have the missions be fit around her story, rather than just do the bridging stuff. Honestly, Flashpoint was the best fiction book I've read in a long time, just by how much I was emotionally attached to the characters as she wrote them. Valerian: hey, new kid's a badass and is definitely a step up from his old man. Arcturus: can't wait till that bastard gets his comeuppance. Raynor: still the biggest badass this side of the universe. Kerrigan: Not enough hugs have been given to her. Nowhere close to enough hugs. And it really, really saddens me that Heart of the Swarm is going to put the kibosh on turning her back to her 100% human form, until perhaps the end of Legacy of the Void. I'm still holding out for a Jim/Sarah GOOD END, b/c I feel with blizz F'ing up the warcraft plotline with all the WoW nonsense, Diablo never really having a compelling story, that the Starcraft universe would be its last chance to actually have an ending of relative happiness and hope, instead of "well, everyone that was lucky enough to survive will be scarred for life and will most likely be miserable from now until whenever, but at least all life as we know it didn't end, so we're cool, right?"

Jim/Sarah GOOD END will happen only if they both disappear from the universe. Faking their deaths or something. There will be a Starcraft 3 someday. And the only way the two of them can get some peace and quiet is complete retirement. Let some Matriarch take over Kerragan's job and Jimmy already got good men ready to replace him.
I want Mira Han to come back as a female Han Solo too. She is just too memorable for me.

On that matter some updates for HOTS beta Quote:
And $50 says that Blizzard will revert the buffs for Terrans/Protoss and revert the nerfs for Zerg just cause. And faster Mutas? Good lord those things are fast enough as it is. |

Sorry for the double post These are the balance patch notes for the new HOTS patch
Spoiler:
Thor change is awesome btw, Medivac recovery change is OP it should be less... like 12 or something IMO, but the movement speed boost is nice, Raven Seeker Missile it's an earlier Yamato Gun, and the armory upgrade changes are awesome... Last edited by paladinenvec; 2012-12-05 at 19:24. |

I think Mutas will see much more usage in TvZ now, though especially if Mech becomes the dominant playstyle as opposed to standard marine/tank (occasional tank-less biomech) and occasional pure bio. |

Explosive payload which I'm assuming is the regular AA attack which is good against light air units. High Impact with flat 24 damage and range 10 makes it like the goliath to deal with armoured air units. Vikings IMO will still be needed but now you don't need too many. |

I thought both thors and vikings were balls against mutas by now?
So let's see. It's been 2.5 years since Sc2 came out. The last balance changes to BW were about this time after inital release... so let's see if they have any clue atm. -- Massive Infestor Nerf. Well, I hate infestors myself and think they let any Zerg scrub to look much better than they are, but is this Blizzard's modern solution to everything. Make it so useless that it gets removed? -- Mutalisk speed buff--- lawl. Do they suck now or something? Oh, Widow mines seem pretty OP to me. -- Reaper Buff. Incoming Protoss QQ. Pro Tip to Blizz: Never listen to Protoss players. They are all scum that want ez mode. Well, Idra is Zerg but he was initally Protoss in sc2... -- Raven's a hard unit to balance to be fair. -- Hey Dark Shrine is cheaper now. It took only two years to remedy your fuck up. Nice. I don't know. Not sure if I'll buy the expansion, but it looks like I'll wait for guinea pigs to test it out first. Send me a beta invite bitches.

Blizzard cinematics are always awesome, but I'm not picking this up day one. I burned through WoL in a few days, and felt no compulsion to play the multiplayer. Ditto for D3. The single player campaign is fun for the story, but farming those areas over and over again for better loot got boring.
