If Blizzard really wants to bring in more casual players they should add unlockable/ purchasable skins for most if not all units. They'd be selling out kind-of but taking a lesson from a more successful game like LoL is what they need to do if they want to be the top eSport.
FFE or die trying!

The new XP thing is meant for precisely that: Unlocking new skins, animations and such.

Haha yeah they emit light pretty badassly and its like their tusks are engulfed in flames.
If you set your graphics to medium, the flame-tusks will turn into regular tusks, but the glowing stays.


I think it's just too much. Too much colour, too much effect.
Agreed.

I agree that Ultra looks a bit over the top, the low graphics one is better. But I would really low to play with Swarmlings, please!

Where again are those people that said that an option to turn off skins was not needed?
This looks certainly distracting. Glowing blades also look too magicy not sci-fi like.

You already can turn off these skins via Rewards menu

This is going to destroy my gameplay. I can't believe they are implementing skins like this. I am going to try to click on my banelings to micro them but I will be irresistably drawn to the ultralisk now. What were they thinking.

I agree that the glowing part is a bit over the top but It's still a pretty nice model overall.
And since I play on low details anyways (my PC can't handle anything else...), I don't mind it that much.
The only thing that bothers me right now is that I switched races once again (to protoss) and therefore will not be able to actually use the skin for now.

The screenshot on page 1 made me curious- there are going to be skins for the overlord and zergling as well? Is there any information as to how you unlock those yet?


edit: Keep in mind guys, it's still beta. They probably implemented those skins early so that there is time to adjust, should they get too much negative feedback on the glowing stuff.

edit 2: OK I found the thread on skins in HotS: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=395247

Eventually people will be able to buy experience :D
Micro at its best is like an elegant dance between two people trying to achieve a similar end.

Do you have this picture of Kerrigan in the background in bigger resolution? I wanted to have detailed one for a painting but there aren't any real big ones on the inet. Only snippets

Have to agree, the original Ultras look better by far.
This one looks like some fantasy creature ripped off from WoW

So you will not see your opponent's custom skins, only your own? If so, then this feature is fine, and motivating for casual fun! If not, then it is still a little distracting. I'm not saying it's a big thing, just that it has the potential to be slightly annoying.

Flamboyant is good, gives a good personal twist to customizing your zerg.
Better than to just have 'more' of the same zerg stuff, I'd say personalisation is a good thing, as is variation.

after some excessive testing it seems the medium settings ultralisk is easiest on the eyes, no glowing tusks and such.. Good news for the medium/low quality players :-)!
