Protoss

Mass recall on Nexus in HOTS!!!!!
Thors are 600 minerals now and require a fusion core. Theyve got the aoe ability from single player.You can only have 1 thor at a time now,.a la mothership
Carriers Are Gone!
Mothership Gone to!

Zerg

Burrow charge ability for Ultralisk.
Corrupters now have a channeled ability against building that gives one mineral a second and does 1dps.
Burrowed banelings can MOVE. Possibly an upgrade!
No more Overseer.
Hydra speed increased.
New infestation pit unit like a lurker, but spawns two high-dps units every 15 seconds or so while burrowed.
Viper will permanently grant detection for energy. Lair tech. Grant detection is the cheapest spell.
Swarm lord spits out broodling-looking things that have 16 attack damage and .87 attack speed.

2. WoW: New Race - Panderan!

You Tube

The fourth World of Warcraft expansion set, Mists of Pandaria, has been unveiled! Shrouded in fog since the world was sundered more than ten thousand years ago, the ancient realm of Pandaria has remained unspoiled by war. Its lush forests and cloud-ringed mountains are home to a complex ecosystem of indigenous races and exotic creatures -- including the noble and enigmatic pandaren. Will the mists of Pandaria part to reveal the world's salvation… or will the battle to control this new land push the Horde and the Alliance over the brink of war and into total annihilation?
In Mists of Pandaria, players will be able to explore an all-new continent while reaching new heights of power on their way to an increased level cap of 90. In addition, adventurers can choose whether to side with the Horde or the Alliance as World of Warcraft’s first neutral race -- the pandaren -- and master the ways of Pandaria’s ancient martial arts as the all-new monk class.

3. Blizzard DOTA

You Tube

My favourite trailer of them all, this makes the game look really fun!

4. D3 Cinematic

You Tube

Finally, get the premium stream! You can watch like 4 streams at once on your screen (separated into 4 boxes) then choose which one to mute/unmute, a really cool feature.

That diablo3 trailer makes me even more excited (and more frustrated that I never got a beta key

)

NvPinder · Sat, 22nd-Oct-2011, 7:35 AM

Whilst all this new stuff will make for an exciting expansion, now that i know just how much stuff is going to change, I've kind of instantly lost all motivation to play WoL except to keep my mechanics in shape :\

Quick Comments

	NvRossi:	Definitly thouight about this
	Champi:	lets go carrier+mothership every game

The

Replicant looks potentially awesome but also quite difficult to use. The can "fuse themselves to copy a targeted non-massive unit" (emphasis added).

Their potential use as a siege tank (see trailer) would be awesome, but check the white flash over the tank. I'm not sure what the range is going to be, but I suppose first issue will be getting vision (and possibly range), which is not something you'll get easily vs tanks.

Obviously I like the idea of stealing an scv and building a command centre (best unit in the game imo!).

Benji · Sat, 22nd-Oct-2011, 8:09 AM

Screw copying Siege tanks, copy infestors!

sRFullstop · Sat, 22nd-Oct-2011, 8:14 AM

So the Oracle can do a FF like thing over mineral patches to disrupt mining? That's... pretty good.

A few points:

1. Mass recall with nexus will be so awesome in PvZ. When 3 gate expanding you will be able to pressure the zerg for so much longer because you don't have to worry about your force getting surrounded by lings and dying.

2. Infestor and vipers will make an incredible combo. Vipers pull the colli and than infestors neural parasite it from a safe distance behind the zerg army. Also can vipers pull and than neural the massive OP thor?

3. WOW gone kong fuu panda?
