or

Quotes like "She's more Zerg than Zerg", "Now we're working with teeth and claws", "We could finally add some extra limbs"?

okay, this is now the official thread for content released on this blizzcon. Sticky.

 

[celerisk]

Well, does "Mists of Pandaria" (right before pandaemonium hits I guess ) fit in here?

I also forgot to take a screenshot of the Verming... - even Google doesn't know them yet.


You know, the worst part of this is that we're seeing it all now... and then wait months... and then some.
As Blizzard likes to put it "Coming soonish(tm)".

@Celerisk, i made a thread for the blizzcon tourny

So, the "SC2 campaign and lore" panel just ended.
Not all that much really.
Unfortunately, they were extremely careful and avoided any and all "spoilers"... damn. Even Chris.

Well, so the overall mechanics, as we already saw in the demo missions, are confirmed.

We may or may not see some new and old "friends".

We have seen Duran in Wings!

And, finally, my favorite so far:
" We want you to kill everything on the planet. Because Zerg " - Yeah!

Nexus has mass recall, overseer removed, viper can make a unit a detector permenantly for energy, and there was something else i heard from day 9 but i cant remember

 

[GFreak45]

viper can pull units, allied units or enemies... yank something nice and expensive to burn it fast

Couple "official" pages:



Multiplayer Panel



Diablo III Gameplay and Auction House Panel



Costume, dance and more winners... - somewhat pointless though as it's names only.

Well, here's the costume winners:

Yeah ! these are one of the best RTS missions I have played, ever, and I have played most of the "classical", "oldschool" and "hardcore" rts games as a kid

I loved Red Alert and like the first CnCs, as well as CnC generals... although they [kinda] sucked balls on multiplayer.
