dont like the idea at all

Imagine how many better games their would be out right now if call of duty was never made. They have inadvertly changed and hurt many existing games and have made companeys try to replicate them in an attempt to make money from casuels.

The only issue with that is in Black Op, you see a lot of penises and breasts. I'm not looking for that to be added into SC2.

People do that on blackops too? didn't they make it so that you could only pick from the objects they gave you? I mean i guess they could make it LOOK like it but does it really look that much like it? Like i remember they only let you use preset objects and you could like, rotate, scale, and all that good stuff but they didn't let you use your own COMPLETELY custom emblem did they? or maybe i just didn't play enough x.x all i know is mine was a skull but i used the katans and flipped them up upside down and made them go off screen so you coudln't see the handles and so it looked like the skull was crying... BLOOOOOOOD (reference to that scene in matchstick men... love that movie)

but yeah, I just posted in another thread about the player drop but this thread isn't about that so i won't like copy and paste it.

All i'm saying is that i agree that this sounds like a sick idea. I'd also try and put some korean voices into my units if it could :D Oh and definately must listen to Zerg Must Die (http://youtu.be/ZSGhzAaqYsc) even if i am a zerg player

Oh and i would definitely make drones spit spins and not "punch" things with their claws. Oh how sick would it be if you could modify dying animations? Like you unlock a new "acid death" on the marine where the suit melts away and then you see like a skeleton. that'd be so sick. well just rambling XD

I don't think this is a good idea, OP. You play a videogame because it's fun, not because of some meaningless rewards.I think this video drives the point home better than I could:

You conquer a nation for the land. Would it hurt if you also got all of the banks and riches that nation had?

I never once said "quick, replace all the fun with shiny stuff!"
I don't understand why people seem to think a game can't have everything. Either it's a game dedicated to be the best game ever and only 3 people play it, or it's a casual wonderland and no serious gamer plays it? Give me a fucking break.

I like the idea to a degree. if you are to change the way until look though, it should only be for the more unicorn units, i.e. for a terrain player the Thor, seige. tank or battlecruiser, otherwise it could affect a players ability to quickly count until they recognise in an intense moment. for example, if marines looked more like ghosts, or even just less like marines a protons player will have difficulty discerning where the ghost is to feedback it.

Would love to customize the main menu though.

I guess the difference between us is that you care about the "achievements" most games nowadays feature. It would not even have crossed my mind to compare them to banks and riches, never realised those could actually motivate people to play a game [or parts of it] they wouldn't enjoy (as much) otherwise.

That said, if you really want this, go ahead and petition Blizzard Can't think of a reason not to.

I just think Starcraft should draw it's playerbase from it's competitiveness, nothing else. Worked for BW, after all.

I REALLY like this idea, or something similar to it. I know that I barely play anymore, and it's because I don't feel like I accomplish anything when I do. I don't have much time to really practice, so when I play with the intent to improve its just discouraging. Rewarding me for playing, but not necessarily improving, would DEFINITELY bring me back.

If it was only about competitiveness, there would be no exciting casters, no ceremonies, no flashy stages, no lights, and no cool player booths. It had fluff. There was a lot more going on than just the competition. The viewership would have been much different if the tournaments consisted of 6 players sitting at a plain table, with computers on it, silently playing their matches.
