Really impatient about this game and what they are offering, it just needs, to boom when it starts, enough for it to have new player, enough for inexperienced players to play inexperienced players. A safe place from the StarCraft players

    A big help is that the game isn't exclusively just pvp. Having coop and campaign being released as 1st class citizens alongside competitive 1v1 is a huge bonus.

    I wonder if lowering the skill floor will draw in a crowd for what is now a niche genre.

    The monetization model looks questionable at best. I wonder how much it will cost to get all the mechanical content, let alone all the cosmetic content.

    They made starcraft 2. The monetization is the exact same as there - coop commanders being paid along with episodic storyline. At the end of the day, SC2 WoL which was sold as a regular game, made less money than a mount skin in WoW. I'd rather they stick to what has worked, rather than not be able to play the game a year from now.
