I feel like its been weeks since we've seen Shaman get any attention... Oh well...

Dude, we recently got our biggest buff since PTR started... they increased stone bulwark totems HP from 5 to 10%!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So? I think the patch is pretty much all buffs for shamans.

Shamans never get buffs, we get compensated for the staff we lacked in the previous major patch. Sadly, this doesnt change anything about the outcome in the next patch.

By fel fire be purged!

Looking forward to this, may have to race change to Orc for the full effect

[Vaucent]

Awesome green fire but I hope to be rare and only the true burned warlocks get the green fire.

I hope the exact opposite of that is true. Every Warlock deserves green fire.

So Blizzard's next-gen mmo aka Titan aka Project Blackstone is basically nothing else than World of Starcraft? Meh, seen this coming from the beginning but that's not so bad, I'd be happy to play a Stracraft themed mmorpg (or shooter for that matter).

Also QQ I want warlock island back =(( ... was going to spend all my days there... :'(

This is not Titan. They would announce that a lot bigger then this.

There isn't a whole lot more it could be friend. They're not making web pages and fake twitter accounts for fun and it certainly isn't about SC2 or Dota, so that leaves only one option. And let's be honest we all knew the next-gen mmo had a very high chance of being nothing more than World of "Insert remaining Blizz franchise". Also, this isn't an announcement, it's a teaser for those who have a clue. The big announcement will come at the next Blizzcon or w/e and it'll be Titan aka Project Blackstone is World of Starfaft: SUPRISE! mark my words.

Are you kidding me? Why should this be Titan? They haven't released any information regarding Titan at all, and it's on that leaked list from Blizzard as well, has no connection to Titan at all, at least not that we know off, but Project Blackstone is def something about SC2....

Why wouldn't it be about SC2? It's about Zerglings... That's Starcraft, isn't it? They also very clearly stated, from the beginning, that Titan is a completely new franchise, which is about the only information that is actually confirmed. Starcraft is not new, so that goes against the only CONFIRMED information. I doubt Blizzard would pull a trick like that.

This is just about the making of Kerrigan. Might not even be about a game, just about lore.

I'm sorry but I bet you I'm right. Just because there hasn't been some big announcement doesn't mean they aren't setting it up. Kinda like the Diablo face hidden in the ice. And no this can't have anything to do with SC2, if you played SC2 you would know. HoS is coming out very soon and LoV is nowhere close, on top of it this is obviously terran themed when the only terran themed SC2 is already done with (WOL). So ya, project Blackstone is the setting up of Titan aka a Starcraft themed mmo where ppl kidnapped by this doctor and part of a super special team of anti-zerg vets go out into the world-of-starcraft to stop the zerg or w/e. There's nothing else it can be, unless it's especially intended to mislead ppl but I doubt it.

All this is for a little extra lore? Sorry but I doubt it. Even if it were to reveal one big SC2 secret it would make no sense to do it now because nobody would care. HoS is due very soon and people already know all the features and the game is ready to play. Even if *gasp* they revealed Kerrigan is actually a man and Jim is an android it wouldn't make one shit of a difference to people on the fence about playing SC2. No, they're doing this with a purpose and it's obviously to set up a story and that story is thick with the premise some new game aka Titan.

Also, I'd be willing to bet they won't actually reveal whether this is Titan for a long time. To me it's obvious the announcement and release of Titan aka World of Starcraft is either meant come with LoV or a little after. Think about it, WoW came out after the end of W3 xpacs because the story and momentum were set up. I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same for this.

So, how do you explain that little fact that Blizzard themselves said Titan was a completely new franchise?

[gorocz]

Well project Blackstone is under the SC2 brand so yeah.... :\

Well, that was to be expected, really... How could a fantasy thing be named "Project anything"? I don't know if I'm the only one, but the word "project" really doesn't connect into fantasy in my mind. It's mostly used in science and neither WoW nor Diablo has a large scientifical basis (Horadrim in Diablo and Apothecaries/Engineers in WoW are probably the closest you can get).

yeah I bet your right, because you know. when i log into the sit my browser sure dont show up http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/
so this has to be titan you guys

I don't need to. Dance studio much? Who cares what Blizz said aeons ago. They're here to make dough and maybe that many years ago they thought they wouldn't need to an already existing brand to bank on but they changed their mind. It really doesn't matter because even if it is a contradiction they can spin it like they do everything else:

"But you said it wouldn't have anything to do with your other franchises?! QQ" - Angry fanboi


"Ya well... this doesn't.... it's eurr you know a shooter and we haven't made shooters before, so ya, it's totally new. NEXT QUESTION!" - Blizz Corporate PR who gives a shit

A new IP=/= planned game feature

Alright well this:

settles it. At least that goes further in proving things then name-calling.

That being said, I really don't see the point of making a website very few are going to bother with just to create a little buzz among nothing but the most hardcore nerds for a game that is already prepped to launch. Oh well.

So you made an account on a game forum just to call one it's users stupid and ignorant over being wrong about some game-related topic. Yaaaaaa.... I dunno if I'm the definition of stupidity and ignorance but you're certainly not too far above me.

[nemro82]

few weeks ago on "Legendary" they were talking a lot about a guy with good track of Blizzard leaks, and this guy said Titan won't be a completly new franchise, but based around existing one.
Now this Project Blackstone comes out of nowhere, without a single reason to promote HoTS just before expansion release.
Connecting the dots pretty much says Titan is going to be a world of starcraft.

[Micfeind]

You know what, keep to your own conspiracy theory, I have a brick wall here that needs a severe talking to

[hiragana]

lol green fire looks shite, i wouldnt use it. Good for those that like it i guess.
