I agree, Heros add a personality to the game and also enhance game play. They are not Gods, unless your one of these people who need cheat codes to play, and they do not change the game play by that much. Basically as we said up above, if you dont like games with heros, dont play them, end of story, nadda you can do about it anyways. They will prolly make a hero like unit because they did in SC any ways with the main characters, yes you had to keep them from being killed but hey, they did that in WC3 as well. its been done, just on a smaller scale, and from what i see blizz only scales up, not down. Game looks greant and cant wait to play it.

if you dont like the heroes in starcraft dont play the bloody game. there are lots of scenarios and custom made games that exclude heros. i believe the heroes add a new dimension to the game and increase the strategy needed. they also give map makers like myself more to work with. as for those who think heroes cheapen the game in multiplayer, in default melee’s there can be no heroes at all. if you dont want heroes, dont use em. dont ruin it for those who like it.

I think that the heros will be useless in Starcraft 2, where is a game with large armies vs. large armies, most probably the heros will be in the Story Mode not in Multi-Player Mode. The heros in Starcraft 2 are used in Story Mode just to make it more cool and epic and introduce you in the story. Hadrianus out

i think heroes are fun and can make for alot of fun situations, the just DONT BELONG IN SC.
if you want to have heroes play wc, if you want to go further into hereos go play wow or sum other boring no skill game.
After watching the gameplay vids i am a bit concerned about the ammount of units that will be able to ignore terrain hopefully this doesnt make some units overpowerful

release date expected to be in september =)

A solution that will satisfy everyone is that there are no leveling up WC3 style heroes in competitive multiplayer, but there is the ability for mapmakers to create WC3 style leveling up ablility based heroes for CUSTOM MAPS.

Ohh1!1, another thing…how many of you is a protoss gameplayer?…cause in the forum of blizzard, i`m put in my idea for a new upgrade to the units like zealots…..ok, this upgrade is going to give them the ability to hit continously at the enemy after they do the charge…with the condition that only the zealots could do it until all the upgrades of the forge has been done…:P…think about it….Bye.

Well i think Heoroes wouldnt be nice if they had non standard characteristics i mean you can have them in the normal size with normal health but make other units around them more agressive and i think they should include some kind of vetrancy meaning the more kills the standard units do the more power they gain this is because some times or most of the times in free for all more two teams clash together ruining both armies and leaving them susceptable to being overtaken by other teams vetrancy would balance things a bit for the remaining living armies should have more experience hence more powers besides in starcraft each unit in itself is = to a hero from warcraft 3 meaning each unit already have multiple special abilities

Heroes should not be allowed to be built. That would keep it the same as SC, and everyone will be happy. i play alot of UMS games, and the added units help tremendously. having three types of ghosts that all do the same thing helps in a variety of ways, so people should stop whining about it.

Heros are cool but i hate when player made maps( map settings)have it set where you can Upgrade 255 times. it makes it so unbalanced. so many of the games suck because units start to get regid. Hopfully star craft 2 has better AI and more triggers to make cool map setting games. And they definitely should make something that stops people from rushing when its a no rush game. there should be a ten minute no rush option and if u go in someones base with an attacking unit they lose all there attacking men.

Alright heres my view on heros. They were awsome in the story game but they put a limet on to the size of the fights on the multiplayer scale. On the other hand it was awsome to have extra units with cool abilitys to mess around with in home made games. The real issue I have with it is all of the microcommanding that takes place in Warcraft 3, it was fun for a bit but then haveing all your spells ready and lined up along with haveing to toggle though your units got old… quick. So this is what I say… Don’t have heros that level up give them abilitys that they start out with, then upgrade them like any other unit, death to micromanagement and on one last note… LET ME PEOPLE PLAY!

well in my opinion heros in sc 2 should be puted in multi payer and players shoyld be able to pick all of thr heroes skils but every thime a hero skils make him unbalanced the game shuld sa something like “The hero is not avaiable fore multy payer becouse he makes the rase be unbalanced” or make a option in multy player to vote what cind of game do palyers whant with or wtihout heroes.

but the current version of the game had no heroes for multiplayer player and I hope they keep it that way.

So you got a glimpse of just the doodads and you already say that its already gonna blow everything else away. That just blows my mind. Oh another thing that I was really interested in was if they are going to put some of the warcraft characters in the custom games. Just imagine how realistic they would look, but then again now I’m mixing warcraft and starcraft in the whole thing and that really didn’t work when they put starcraft in warcraft 3. So that pretty much blows that off.

Heroes were awesome in sc1, but to make them like they are in wc3 would just be stupid because that’s what wc3 is for. There will be heroes in the campaign mode, and that’s cool, but they don’t really make a big difference in the game anyways, just help you follow the story. Those who like wc3 heroes can go play wc3, and stop cussing people out for liking sc.

By: damean170

damean170 — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 00:22:08 +0000

wow did noone read my last post.

the creator of SC2 said NO heroes in multiplayer.. they will be the main focus of single-player story mode.

as for the world editor, I had a glimpse at the doodads. all I can say is omfg. Use map setting boards will destroy the custom games of any other blizzard game ever.

By: Razotar

Razotar — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 15:50:42 +0000

Man I don’t know why you guys are so revved up about heroes anyways. What I’m interested in is the Starcraft2 World Editor. I mean just think of all the things you can do with that thing, cause you look at the Warcraft3 World Editor and you just got to expect the starcraft one to have at least 2 times the things you can do. Anyways its probably going to be ok with the heros anyways because I think Blizzard is probably taking in a lot of opinions right now and a lot of people are probably having the same debate.

I don’t want to rain on anyones parade, but starcraft has heros if you haven’t noticed. Its just that they don’t level or have special abilities and their stats are just a little higher then normal, BUT they are heros none the less.

I am an original SC player…just to let you know i played this game since it came out back in 97, starting from the little free beta. im glad that there are people out there that know what they are talking about. i just have to say that heros is a no on starcraft. if you want that continue to play WC3. Heros will ruin the game for the fact as already stated that they are good for micro management. SC is ment to flood with huge infantry. and thats what makes the game fun. and please dont compare the two…they are both from blizzard. they will not want to make two different games be the same. thanks to WOW, SC2 took a long time. blizzard is here to make money, and yet there are already people waiting for diablo 3. BTW i have all the games. and i still play bw the most. screen name NeFiLiuM. later

By: Adam

Adam — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 02:18:00 +0000

I think that the agme should and shouldnt have heros in different parts like you shouldnt have them in custom games because you have such a high unit count and they will just die if massed or something they best with small armies but you should have them in the story and i also think they might have a special ability or two like they did in warcraft 3 but maybe not the level up thing. dont copy it from warcraft 3 that would just make it old but you need to have some heros sometimes because it really made warcraft 3 a good game and tons of people still play it a lot.

i cant wait /cry
i hope you understand =D

By: Brian

Brian — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 10:38:42 +0000

Yeah. i agree with the people that are actually thinking.
Heroes are for games that have a small force. When you get 100 units, heroes don’t even make a major difference, and it just throws game play off. With smaller unit counts, heroes are pretty damn fun. Starcraft is a big unit count game, thus it shouldn’t have heroes.

i think if warcraft-like heroes are introduced in sc2 itd suck donkey dick, in warcraft its fine, but in sc2… both games r veryyy different, just think on the amount of units that die in an average game… lke 50 in warcraft vs 300 in sc…. just a random number, ok?… im no saying wc3 sux… they just r very different

heroes in sc2 suk bush dick

By: damean170

damean170 — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 22:28:03 +0000

I agree with chris, heroes change gameplay from armies vs armies to small squads vs small squads. in my opinion they shouod have different options like melee with heroes and melee without.
also wc3 was completely different than wc2, I.e. the hero element so o hope they keep the classic feel of sc in the new game.
I agree with some posts but…sc triggered the hero maps loke commando warz, and wc3 just built onto that with lets just say DOTA.
JUst my two cents.

By: Chris

Chris — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 13:05:31 +0000

let’s be real starcraft is not a game ment for hero’s in the multi player asspect. WC3 was ment for hero’s because it’s not about massing huge armies, it’s about microing the shit out of your units and using your HEROS to the best of their abilities. If you didn’t know HOW TO DO THAT, then of course you are gonna say heros ruined the game. But like i stated SC is not ment to have heros in the multiplayer aspect of the game.

You’re right, heroes in the game, like warcraft, became kind of like a problem. In exception to starcraft the heroes in warcraft could be used in multipalyer games or just yurself against the computer. Hopefully in Starcraft 2 they won’t set the same type of idea to starcraft and just set the heroes in the story mode as you could call it. The heroes in the story mode are needed to give the gameplay a point, since they say that it’s going to be like the continuation of the stories in the first starcraft.

I hope they don’t put heroes. This is just my opinion, but ever since they put heroes on Warcraft 3, I just didn’t get the balancing anymore. It’s kind of like putting super weapons, which totally destroys strategy. Spread the word, spread the petition, if you believe in my point!
