Isn't that supposed to be part of the design? I honestly feel kinda sad that Zerg units lack that design on SC2(as opposed to BW, where each cerebrate would make me want to throw up).

It shouldn't be changed IMO.

Frogception is awesome
We promise with a view to hope, but the reason to "accomplish" what we promised would be fear.

Hehe, I recognized immediately that the swarm host was going to be trouble, because I'd heard about that phobia before. I myself have seen pictures of pods etc that made me sick, but in the case of the swarm guardian I just felt a slight unease.

edit: to everyone saying "man up": it's a phobia, not a rational fear. It's a like a tick, you can't help it, and I don't think anyone should have to quit the game because one of the new units cause them to pass out.

Yes, your poll is most conclusive and Blizzard should promptly take action and revamp their months work to appease your worries. A pretty high percentage, yes.

Yes.

I coulnd watch the video cause I was disgusted by that wolf spider with her kids on her back, which was in the video sidebar .

I don't see how irrational fears can be associated with being a pussy, that's just bullshit.

Wow.


So tell, nobody who fears this, fears say Infested Terrans?...

Stupid thread and stupid phobia to be honest, this is just something that generally creeps most people out just like that guy who photoshopped a behive+larve on some womans breasts aswell as added a quite colorfull parasite story behind it and people believed it.

Point is; This like just about anything zerg has can be "phobius" or even worse if you just find some real life replica and write something very creepy to go in hand with it. Doesn't mean it IS a scary or disgusting design.

being disgusted by the artwork does not mean that the artwork need to change.
not every zerg unit can be as cute as four small chogelings. <3

Listen - the whole point IS to man up. Face your fears. I am afraid of heights, but you don't see me not daring go upstairs, or look over a cliff's edge. I hate and "fear" spiders, but I just kill'em. I'm the bigger animal, I'll just handle it.

Man up, face your fears, get over it. Why should the rest of the world be punished for your irrational(!!) fears?

I watched 10 secs of the video and stopped. I didn't itch or anything, nor did I hate it or anything, I just don't like how bad it looks lol. What irritates me isn't the cracks or anything like that, it is just that the Swarm host has pods growing on its back that pop and they grow again and pop :/ Just weird but that is Zerg for you. I wouldn't mind a rework though. But I'll still buy the game. That won't stop me.

You might have a good point about people needing to "get over it" since it is just a cartooney game... However, you are really really ignorant if you are actually one of those wannabe-macho dudes that doesn't believe in science/medical problems because it's "weak". I'm sure you have a nice set of well-educated opinions on disease and what should or should not count as disease, but really, save it for the experts when it comes to deciding what is or what isn't a real medical condition. You come off as pretty offensive and ignorant if you go on bashing problems that people might have.

god, what kind of stupid question is this? the people that voted they had a problem are probably trolling the polls.

if they should re-work anything, it should be the warhound.
