If you get Blizzard to fix it, make them add a medic to the main menu. I'd rather not fumble around and potentially get caught doing it the non-legit way, or, more likely, screw something up. | ||

For serious though, never really noticed before, and now that's all I'm gonna notice. Thanks for that  | ||

BUT! 18 months and no one noticed, it doesn't break gameplay, hell if I have not read the OP I might have never known. In fact the opening post reminds me of BSN where they argue about the face texture of one of the characters in Bioware games, the overdramatic tone (Inconsistencies in transperancy of the menus? SC2 RUINED FOREVER!) doesnt fit a respected multiplayer strategy forum like TL. | ||

You may not see the specific things like the OP pointed out, but you can certainly "feel" whether a UI is sloppy or clean. And you can definitely notice when one is better than another. Even BNet 1.0 had a more intuitive interface than BNet 2.0 -- chat room was the center of the screen, and then you clicked on the game list. In Bnet 2.0, chat is a little button in the corner, join game is hidden in the bottom right, your home page (the first thing you see when you open the game) is relating a single-player game mode that you don't play anymore, you get a page full of social media updates that no one gives a shit about, messaging a friend means going through every single person and trying to find the person you added and you weren't sure whether they were "RealID or character ID" and you can't /f m jgoidasjgdioas There is just so much bad UI and the entire BNet 2.0 is literally garbage just pulled straight from the beta. They spent more time on the Hyperion single player interface that no one plays anymore over the multiplayer UI that was supposed to be "E-sports" | ||

So much wasted space and the oddest button layouts I've seen in a long time. | ||

It is Activision. Look at the history of Activision, they are notorious for eeking each dollar out of a game, and making it as low-budget as possible. Sadly, SC2 suffers from this. Dustin and his team are encouraged to rush things to production in order to improve people's purchase rates. These micro transactions (name change, etc.) are another example of money grubbing Activision. There isn't an end in sight for these types of things, since B/A won't be going back to just B anytime soon. I wish there was a way to converse openly with Dustin about how piss poor this first effort was, and how bad Heart of the Swarm promises to be. I really wish I didn't love RTS gaming so much anymore, because frankly SC2 is nothing more than Activision taking a Blizzard product that bastardizing it in order to 'profit' (even though from what I've read .SC2 wasn't a financial success for the most part, and good riddance in my mind, fuck activision).

That's because you have no eye for design.... someone who studies art or graphic design (like I'm assuming OP has some sort of formal understanding of design concepts) would notice these things immediately, like my gf has pointed these things out to me as well OO: | ||

I don't really think that it makes a big difference, but it does show that it was a either a slightly rushed job in the development, or they thought that you wouldn't really care. And we didn't really notice or care until now apparently. As for the Achievement menu not being see-through in-game, ehhhh, I don't think you should be doing that while you're laddering in the first place. And if you're doing single-player, you can just press the pause button. | ||

Don't be ridiculous. I'd rather Blizzard work on the name change service or replay observing with friends instead of wasting time on something that only future baristas can point out. | ||

This thread just made me realize that no game will ever ever ever be good enough to escape any kind of "critism" from the users On a side note: I can't believe you find these differences. Someone should hire you to spot stuff like this in their games  | ||

The fact that you gotta pay for three different sets to see a story being developed already explains how much blizzard care about you.And trust me, they will cost 60 bucks each. I don't know what happened to blizzard, but they became different from the society I remember made starcraft 1. Um then by the definition of beta, it is not beta o.o | ||

It looks pretty logical to me. Shockingly, things that have different purposes don't have to be as similar as possible. Its almost like there are people that appreciate variety and visual differences. | ||
