Stormgate is designed to be noob friendly which means you can't die early game, there are no perma cloak units, everything is slower so it's not possible to turn games around in an instant, etc.
Just watch WC3 - it's very boring in my opinion compared to watching SC2 as there is much less variability, upsets, etc.
I must have missed the memo because I sure have been able to die early on...
Plot twist: stormgate is 4 years out
Not quite... ;)
I’m just ready for storm gate which will be the true sc3. (Made by the sc2 devs)
We working hard to get the game ready for you!
Frost Giant spun off from Blizzard after it was clear they weren’t interested in doing any more RTS. So all the Blizzard RTS developers went to Frost Giant. If Microsoft or whatever does SC3, it won’t be the same people making it.
Frost Giant is currently making Stormgate, which is a new IP that’s basically Starcraft 3.
We’re creating our own new universe with Stormgate. While our game will feel familiar to fans of Blizzard RTS, it’s going to be its own thing—we’re not trying to make “StarCraft 3 at home.”
Wait for stormgate
👍
I'd say there's a high chance, but not anytime soon. A lot of the blizzard employees who created SC2 and wanted to create new RTS games left for companies like Frost Giant (Stormgate) and Dreamhaven (though I don't believe they've announced a game yet).
Hey, Gerald at Frost Giant here—DreamHaven is a partner of ours and you’re correct in that they haven’t announced a game yet. Stormgate has been in closed alpha testing and development is going well! We’re eager to get it into more players’ hands soon.
he's also been successful in 3 different rts games (that I know of, maybe more).. .so yeah hes your guy
His brother is insanely good too.
Is Devastator referencing the Dune series unit, or is there another RTS unit you guys were thinking of?
Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to the Dune unit.
Still salty haven’t gotten to play yet
Most people haven’t gotten to play yet—less than 1-in-20 signups have received alpha invites.
I've signed up for the newsletter/alpha like 15 times but still don't get the newsletters.
This is really strange. Please DM me so we can troubleshoot to see what might be happening.
Does this mean chronosphere alpha invites will be sent out soon?
Chromosphere is the testing phase going on now. Our next phase, which will welcome many new testers, is codenamed Devastator. Invites will go out before the end of the year. I’m sorry that I can’t get more specific than that at this time.
It was a small comment posted here from an official FG account months ago...I can't find it though.
Anyway we've seen them be repaired before so we know they're robots for sure.
Can verify that the above is true!
That's not "super early"
We’re in alpha, which definitely feels super early to me!
assuming the survey actually does anything
It does.

The correct Discord link can be found in the game client by clicking on the Report Bug button. We're looking into the Discord link issue and are very sorry for any inconvenience.
Hey folks, we encountered an issue where our Discord links were going out as "undefined", which would send people to a shady Discord that we do not control instead of the Private Closed Alpha Discord. Our team is working on making a change to our Dashboard so that testers will receive the correct Discord link.
We're super sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please check for the proper Discord link again in a few minutes.
Please send me a message here and include your email address so that we can discuss.
