I don't think its unreasonable to call teal/blue and orange/gold/yellow tacky. Because it is. Unless you're a Suns fan. SC is in outer-space and most of the colors inside of space (That is, not the blackness of space) are those colors. Super-Novas, Quasars, Stars like our Sun which make up the majority of solar bodies, nebulas, etc. are all or made up of that color palette. It is no far stretch to use them. What would you rather have? Dark greens, Blacks, maroon, etc.? It is not irrelevant because you compared it to the "colorful" aspects of WoW, which is about palettes. There is nothing wrong with vibrant colors especially in a space theme. I suppose you believe the Earth is tacky and cartoonish? I'm sure you have seen pictures of the Earth from outerspace and it is made up of vibrant bright colors. | ||

"Far too colorful and WoW like" does not mean I'm comparing it to the color aspects of WoW, hence the "and," indicating a separate idea or entity. I already explained the WoW like was brought up because of the carbon copy achievement screen. I was hoping it would be easier on the eyes. I prefer a more monochrome pallete, IE not full of contrasting colors. | ||

Summer starts and ends in my mind when school ends and starts. Just something embedded into me since school. Fall begins with school and ends once first snow hits (or once it gets too damn cold). Spring starts when I can start opening my window and not freeze my ass off.  | ||

Does anyone actually care about achievements and social networking type features? I really just want there to be a good incentivized frequent tournament system, a perfectly run hack free ladder, and a well developed matchmaking system. All the flashy colors and graphics in the world and special achievement points are pretty trivial and stupid. Maybe I'm alone here, what do you guys think? | ||

Its like when people were talking about readability of units OMG I can't tell which is which, then it was OMG its too bright and too colourful, same story here. The main background view is a shot of space, what do you want the planet to be grey and the rest of space be black including stars? Come on now. Contrast has appeal and that's exactly what it has in a tasteful manner. Sorry, but I'd trust the art team whom many have taken courses on colour and design over someone who doesn't know any better. And yes Chuiu I'm the same way, but you figure once you graduate then what do you base it on? The technical start and end of seasons at that point on. | ||

If you create a private game, it's "invite only". And in the public games there's only one line per map/game type. I think you will clic "Dota" and "Join" and it will make you join one of the dota public game with free slots. | ||

The pallete could have been a little darker but it's okay. The achievent screen bothers me, it's pretty useless and reminds me of wow. Oh well, can't wait for it to come out. | ||

And I'd like to echo Aegraen's comments, it seems like if you use any colour brighter than the emo clothes you wear its a cause for uproar. It looks great, its nice and fun looking. Its an interface not descriptive of any particular race.

And yes Chuiu I'm the same way, but you figure once you graduate then what do you base it on? The technical start and end of seasons at that point on. I didn't catch the battlenet 2.0 panel. Unless someone specifically said "We are very far along" these screen shots are a horrible indicator. An experienced blizzard Dev would be able to whip up this interface in less than a days work, even with functional buttons. That doesn't mean they are far along at all. There is a good chance the chat and the features visible here are faked. The interface (GUI) is probably about 10% of battlenet 2.0 and the other 90% is how the user features actually network with each other. People aren't entitled to an opinion about what is annoying for them because they haven't taken classes in color and design? What a retarded thing to say, considering any two art teachers could be complete polar opposites in their style and preferences in design. Taste is subjective. I personally feel that Blue and Orange together is never tasteful. | ||
