I hope the Protoss campaign isn't too much about uniting the different Protoss factions. Otherwise we'll just end up with a Protossified HoTS campaign. Love story between Artanis and Zeratul perhaps?
I'm sure that this is some ability like whirlwind but it will just be like single swing, something like Zeratul in Heroes of the Storm, or passive.
Looking at the screenshots, the one with red Terrans (Dominion? Narud loyalists?) I think I see one of them spinning around, so it's either that or bladestorm from WC3.
Also, if Artanis goes all nerazim-khalai avatar, I have a feeling he'll have a Tassadar moment and crash the Spear of Adun on Amon. Speaking of, would love to see more light shed on details of Adun's backstory :D
Correcting the Nydus Worm information: You can't kill it before it pops, that was clear in the trailer, it WILL pop and then you can kill it. Also I think the Disruptor becomes invulnerable, not invisible, but I'm not sure on that one.
There's a lotv match happened, go check it. New units are not just imba, but simply ridiculous. Zerg players suffered so bad from new terran units. Like nothing was balanced at all, new units have just been thrown in the game with random parameters. So, we will see many changes.

I guess the Disruptor might be both. But I'd like to bet more on invisible, invulnerable would unbalance it.
P.S. Corrected the info on Nydus Worm. Thanks for the tip.
P.S.S. My personal opinion will come in a separate thread. Was postponed because of weather, last night.
Well, seeing , they say "invulnerable energy form" and then show Marines entering a Medivac to dodge Disruptors, so I'm guessing they aren't cloaked. Also, is that a Shield Battery in the 6th screenshot of the B.net page?
A kitbashed, flattened HotS Ship Generator, more likely. I can't see why they don't use custom models, for that, they can even download our Shield Battery here, if they want it. xD
So the invasion of Auir fails and the Protoss have to sever the Khala before Amon overtakes them. Okay I'm into that twist. I was not expecting the severing of the Khala as a theme, but Auir was predictable. Feeling like there will be lots of hero themed missions and mini boss battles.
The Ark has so much potential. I hope one can get lost in the archive and weapons room and just go exploring.
Any idea on the number of missions?
Any idea on a release date?
Any mention of what happens to the franchise after LOTV?
Gotta say the more I look at the website the more I think that we will get a decent story with awesome gameplay. Fingers crossed. Please, please decent story! I have low-expectations!
Well, the first invasion fails. We don't know if there's a second (though I doubt it). I really like that it happens early, though. You expect it to be a climax, so it's cool to see that being subverted somewhat. The failure of the invasion and the severing of the nerve cords seems to indicate a shift away from the Khala and Aiur to dark templars and Shakurs, which is interesting.
As for release date: I'm guessing this is going to come a bit faster than HOTS did, which was really late, though I expect to be proven wrong.
I'm just awaiting for the SP gameplay videos, as well as the match Zolden mentioned.
Well, I'd get a grim reaction by the time someone mentions the story is practically completed in the coming six months. It was like that with HotS, even after they had two years since the leaked ending. I also expect to be proven wrong, too. I'm wanting StarCraft, not another C&C 4.
P.S. Speaking of which, I've posted my personal opinion thread, check it out. A little warning, expect it to be a bit emotional and a tad reactionary.

Well, I think it's merely a repeating of the Blood Elves cliche from the TFT campaign.
Wow, really impressed so far. The campaign preview looked amazing and as a person watching professional SC2 since a long time I think those radical multiplayer changes are exactly what we need for the game right now.
Allied commander mode? Yes. Yes I want this.
That night time Korhal Platform Skybox looks awesome.
@sgtnoobkilla: Go
Play the campaign with the dual purpose of getting familiar with the new assets we get just like me? ;)
@joecab: Go
Lol... who doesn't?
@joecab: Go
As always. ^^
this would be the most creative part so far
Alas, the Geraldus decal is the opera mask.

Has anyone uploaded/found a LOTV panel video yet?
EDIT: Cool summary: http://sclegacy.com/news/1397-legacy-of-the-void-campaign-panel

That is a good summary.

Cant wait.
@DeltaCadimus: Go
That shot of the bridge of the ark is pretty awesome! I like how dark and foreboding it is not all gold and glittery.
I guess Raynor has another fleet at his disposal.
Also, are the robots sounding like a potential fourth race?
