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. This. I feel like a majority of these inconsistencie aren't actually inconsistencies. OP just wanted something to bitch at and some attention. The achievements is Battle.net related, not race related. I don't get what you mean by accept, and the see-through is on everything except where formatted with pictures. | ||

A) Shitting on any field in a community that worships pro-gamers is kinda hypocritical. B) Game design isn't zero sum. We should expect them to get everything right. | ||

However, battle.net doesn't even use hotkeys. There's no keyboard shortcuts. Everything is mouse clicking. There's not even a way to toggle between chat windows easily with a keyboard. This is much more significant, and gives away that the sc2 team and bnet team are completely separate. | ||

Pretty much exactly what was going through my head when reading OP. Thank god Blizzard doesn't actually design UIs like OP wants or you'd have transparent pictures and the entire thing done in one font. The design is actually logical and the font choices appropriate. | ||

This kind of analogy always puts a smile on my face. Companies have separate departments which juggle various tasks. What does a graphic designer's project have to do with a database/web engineer's project? The design of the user interface is important and having such inconsistencies gives the game an unpolished feel, something you can't have in one of your top titles. | ||

By the way, how exactly do you expect things to get fixed if people don't complain? The fact is that if people don't make it clear that they're dissatisfied, then Blizzard won't change it. They're not a charity, they respond to the demands of their customers. If anything, you're a free rider simultaneously benefiting from the complaints of other people and criticizing them for complaining. Sorry please point out where I swore at this person? I would have thought his post was much ruder and more condescending than mine was- On December 27 2011 22:14 Sergio1992 wrote: nice that you like to pay for a rushed\incomplete games. With people like you, I got no doubts about why industry is trying to drain customers as much as possible. Ah,edit: I never said I would have never paid for these games IF they were complete. Also, if you actually read this post that I first quoted, you would notice that it wasn't offering construct criticism anyway. There is a difference between methodically listing your concerns (which probably should be done on the Bnet forums since it is highly unlikely they would see these complaints here) and mindlessly whining with no apparent basis, whilst at the same time making ridiculous accusations like 'the game is still in beta' and implying Blizzard doesn't give a shit about it's customers. You really think Blizzard would take a complaint like this seriously, let alone act on it? | ||

I mean, I've sort of gotten used to it being clunky and slow and often irresponsive, but to have these inconsistencies pointed out is quite jarring, but it does make a lot of the navigating the menus quite unintuitive. | ||
