Anyone who is complaining about this thread doesn't understand how program development works.

You make something, your users complain, you fix it.

Complain louder gentlemen, There shall be no shoddy interfaces in 2012 if we have our way.

Exempt.

one thing ill agree on though is that blizzard is excessively slow. Heroes of Newerth (by s2 games) has like 3 guys programming... and they crank out shit so much faster than this (even if it's half broken).

I guess that goes to show you how hard it is to not have a product with any loose ends. I accept the interface in that logic then.

I can hardly express the anger I feel after reading the OP. I'm seriously considering not buying HotS now.

-why can't I change realm, like in SC1?

You can- all you have to do is call customer support and ask them to switch your account to a different server- it takes like 5 minutes - super easy

You didn't provide a single argument as to why it's important that the "in game" interface matches the "out of game" interface. Your conclusion is that because they don't match in certain aesthetic aspects, there is "inconsistency", which must be righted.

Why? Why is it important that these two menu/interface styles match? I'm curious. In my opinion, there is no logical reason -- instead it's just something that might annoy people with anxiety disorders like OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder - look into it), which implies it's not something that's important at all. Why should they match/'be consistent"? Why do subtle stylistic features unique to BNET need to be recapitulated perfectly IN GAME, or vice versa? Why can't they remain as they are, as two unique styles of menu?

Sergio hasn't play very many games in his lifetime. I can only think of a handful of games that didn't have much worse glitches than what SC2 is pumping out regardless of the UI. If you actually think SC2 is an unfinished game because of these findings, you are nuts.

Pretty minor complaints no doubt, but also totally legitimate. No doubt this is on their "list", or it should be.

Speaking of, has anyone seen them actually do anything on their list in the past. . .oh, I don't know, year? I wonder how much profit they're getting here vs. how many people are still working on fixing problems that the game shouldn't have been sold with.

Wait, because there are inconsistencies with the UI that shows that this is an incomplete game?

What kind of bullshit is this? Would you have preferred to wait another 2 years for this to come out? The game was completed, sold, and then they fixed several issues with it. I don't like how long Blizzard took in fixing some things, but I'm not enough of a whiner to say it's not a complete game. RIdiculous, this is the most value out of $60 I've ever paid.

pfft that's nothing. Try Skyrim. So obviously consolized and a big mess I stopped playing it after 2 hours. or how about No paper doll which RPGs have done since like forever. Game is a UI joke.

I hope you sometimes read the posts people write inside their topics, because actually you seem to be a bit lacking on this part.

you sir are very perceptive. I never noticed any of those. I personally see nothing wrong with the race themed unit frames though. I think it adds character.

Good eye. I am sure blizzard will mend these minor details in their future patch.

I personally hope they spend no time on anything of this nature and instead continue to focus on the actual play. =)
