SC2:Hots Release Dated + D3 Digital Loot
Posted 14 November 2012 by Flux
Blade wings and Banner sigil.
That’s all well and good if you’re into SC2, but I mention it here to point you guys to the D3 digital goodies that come with the more expensive versions of the game. There’s a WoW pet, of course, but if you buy the DD or the CE version you get special blade wings (reminiscent of the Tyrael wings that came with the D3CE) for in-game display, as well as a new Zergy Banner logo.
Grow zergified wings in honor of the Queen of Blades, and unfurl an exclusive banner sigil to herald your Swarm pride throughout the besieged world of Sanctuary.
If those wings look familiar, you’re not crazy. We saw them back in September when they were datamined out of the v1.05 patch.
SC2 gives you wings.
Update: As their presence in v1.05 datamining showed, the wings are ready and functional and in the game already, and if you spring for the Digital Deluxe version, you can add them to your Diablo 3 account right now. Thanks to Nurman for video showing off his new Kerrigan-style Barbarian — who *really* doesn’t match the wings.
Who would? Female DH? Maybe a WD with some weird tentacle type armor? (Added pic of wings on a WD, looking pretty awesome, courtesy of Nurman.)
Bought CE just for the wings ;p
Pathetic way to earn more money. It honestly makes me hate Blizzard… it really does.
Noones forcing anyone to buy anything, I want the wings and I have a steady good paying job so spending 55ish Euros ( that the CE price in Poland ) for the CE isn’t a big deal. Haters be hatin.
You might have a well paying job, but you’re also an idiot for spending money on something so insignificant. Good luck with your spending habits in 2012.
Just so you know, getting called an idiot by a basement dwelling jobless person doesn’t offend me at all
My thoughts exactly. Offering Diabloesque things in Starcraft, like a Diablo shaped unit or WoW pets is something, but Diablo gameplay items into other games is just cheap!
Question:
I am not a SC player I do not own the game. Do I need to buy BOTH games in order to get the D3 goodies? Do I need a SC game and upgrade it before I get my wings?
Is there anything in the DD or CE versions that I might actually want, considering I’m going to play HotS for the single-player campaign a couple of times over a couple of years, and that’s about it?
didn’t realize sc2 had a single player.
Then you are missing out on a pretty cool and fairly/pretty challenging (on hard/brutal) campaign with cool upgrade options.
WoL’s single-player campaign (on Hard) is really enjoyable. Only the WC3/TFT campaigns come close in terms of enjoyable RTS campaigns that aren’t just sets of skirmish against the AI on different maps.
Dat Blizzard polish, I guess.
I guess you haven’t played the Homeworld series, I have yet to see something to come close to it in the singleplayer RTS field.
Yeah I’m wondering whether 20 single player missions is going to worth the 3 year wait lol.
I’m still looking forward to it though.
lol those things are effin fugly, people would pay Blizzard to REMOVE them
Don’t go giving Bobby any ideas. For now avoiding them is free.
They’ll look good on the Necro after expansion…
The wings might not match my barbarian, but atleast they look better than the CE Angel Wings
Oh, and here are the tentacle-wings slapped onto a WD.

thanks for the shot. I think that’s a pretty good look. Pity you can’t armor dye the wings… maybe some armor color would match the wing color and make them look like part of the costume?
No idea why I care; I have yet to ever use an armor dye in the game.
Looks kind of ugly, not sure I would go for them.
Although they might work with the vile ward/mempo.
You can purchase HotS with battle.net account balance. My Zunimassa’s Vision is paying for the standard edition!
You haven’t dyed anything Flux? Some of the gear undyed is just fugly. I always use Black on everything, except my Monk, which is going with the bottled cloud from the CE. I try to keep my Wiz looking good, so I was kinda worried about what the Vile Ward would look like with the Mempo. The combo actually looks pretty good with Blackthorns Surcoat and Depth Diggers, along with Abyssal Black boots and gloves. I still think that legs/sets should be able to be dyed though.
More on topic, the Wd looks alright with the SC wings, but I am not a big fan otherwise. I ran around a little bit with Tyreals wings, but I only thought they looked OK on the Monk.
