To everyone saying the bars are too big:

That's deliberate. The main purpose of the big UI is to be clearly visible in low-res streams and youtube videos. They are supposed to be shown only temporary.

I remember reading this in several Dustin Browder interviews.

Edit: I was beaten to it, sorry!


For lower resolutions they are so big that they overlap with supply and observer tabs.

Well yeah, they should be scalable. But aside from that everything seems to be pretty great IMO.

Shared reps.

Ability to click an icon in the production/unit tab to go to that thing on the map (so observers aren't looking for where jimbob is hiding his spire)

Ability to see total resources mined/spent in the game so far.

Please and Thankyou.

Whoa...at least appreciate them implementing things that improve the game.

You're an idiot.
Please tell me how this actually improves the game.

They've just made everything bigger and doubled up on a lot of things.
What he suggested would be far more useful, though I'm not saying all of what Blizz added was shit (having both min / gas / supplys and the names is good, everything else, esp. the tug of was bs can go).

Awww, it's not nice to call people idiots .

It's far easier for Blizzard to implement UI changes than to implement something as complex as replay sharing, since it appears that there are deeper issues preventing them from implementing the latter.

The new UI is mainly used for low-quality Youtube vids and streams where it is hard to display small numbers effectively. It's big and flashy, but at least it's very clear (though perhaps to a fault). Luckily, it seems that all these additions are optional and can be toggled off. The tug of war option is a good way of flashing the current food/resource situation very clearly, which is good for casual spectators.

Oh wow, that's pretty neat. Good to see they're gradually making big UI changes instead of waiting for HotS for that. Good job, Blizzard.
Blah.

I dont like the fact that hiding bottom UI hides the minimap also...
Blizzard should make it that it hides all except minimap

Nah, people just want new shiny icons and overlays.

I'm seriously staring to hate Blizzard, if it weren't for D3, I would want all their future games to fail miserably.

Good thing except that you cannot write the current outcome of a bo5 in there, 1:1 for example. So you still need overlays :/

Looks good but they'll still need some sort of overlay to write the score..

Damn, have you even looked at the rest of the patch and the stuff they implemented? (GM-league, mostly good balance changes, new maps, editor improvements) Keep hating if it makes you feel good man.

Wow this looks great! A lot more information like supply counts and resourses on the screen all the time is nice. Can't wait to see this used in GSL.

When I saw the screenshots, I litterally screamed "HOLY SHIT". This IS sexy. If they added some kind of score counters for tournaments, this would just be perfect.

Great improvemets incoming. I see one problem with the showcased set up, there needs to be a scoreboard that supports a best of series, or else casters will still need to use another overlay to display the current score.
