EPTI think it's an excellent idea for Blizz to be making the game more visually exciting. Lots more people are watchers of this game rather than players. Observing can be done with full physics and graphics and it will be an awesome spectacle.

However, that energy is applied in such a small area that pretty much no material is strong enough to take that impact and actually pull the rest of the target with it. Think hitting someone with a sword vs a baseball bat - or a rifle round vs a car. What you'll actually get is a hole punched through with a shockwave radiating out and tearing you apart in all directions. Meanwhile, the energy liberated by 1kg of TNT is 4megajoules, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to imagine a futuristic siege tank round liberating 40-100megajoules upon detonation in a more or less uniform hemisphere. So what you're seeing isn't all that unrealistic. Apart from the gigantic needle-spitting alien claw-vipers, of course. Yes it is. What you say supports a unit hit exploding into pieces in all directions, it doesn't support a whole unit flying in a random direction. The animation now would only fit a little bit with an explosion from underneath, not when hit by a tankshell... That plus the long fall time of the units makes it look terrible. | ||

If the fall time were shorter everything would look like toys. | ||

basically the haters can play games were there are no textures and only dots represent the units. no effects ofc, colors unneeded. blizzard is a company that promotes their quality (no, i don't want to discuss whether they are right or wrong, just stating their opinion) and i think every element in the game should feature this quality. and those ppl are the same that a whining about bad effects in movies nowadays... i just.... can't.... i wasn't... strong enough † | ||

Zealots are cool, look like fireworks. Stalkers bleed blue goo, which makes me happy. Banelings no longer leave behind an acid lake, which I dislike. | ||

Well, maybe if you see some flying destructible rocks, we would know that Browder had smoked a good joint with the art team. god dham I laughed so hard at that...... its the truth though: Next patch: destructible rocks now fly when shot. | ||

We already saw from the HoTS preview a while back that they are showing individual impacts from Marine fire on shields. the more upgrades the better. Graphics team does not "steal" time from balance guys as some people seem to think | ||

lag would be way too intense to play with. will definitely add some entertainment to tournament streams. | ||

I would love to see some other death animations. As i have heard much about the "zergling slide" or the "immortal blowback" | ||

I would love to see some other death animations. As i have heard much about the "zergling slide" or the "immortal blowback" Nukes are pretty awesome this time around. In WoL, a Nuke would only cause the burning animation on affected units. But in HotS, some of the units are turned into ragdolls, and these ragdolls and other debris fly from the epicenter of the blast as an ever expanding circle of beautiful destruction and death. | ||
