EPTThe best part is that skins and whatnot add zest even to co-op, which is already popular content. I'm lovin' it

Team-themed skinpacks with profits going to teams. I'd buy all of them. | ||

I hope they make the next logical leap which is to do some sort of "WCS Finals Collection Pack" with like an announcer, 2 skins, a decal and 5 emoticons for like 10 bucks or something to allow people to increase the WCS prize pool, TI style. Good idea but I doubt Blizz would do anything like that. Besides, their prize pools are a decent size that whatever profits from a 'Collection Pack' would be insignificant. Unless it pads the lower tiered placements. The grand prize remains the same, but the funds from a 'Collection Pack' goes to the 16-32 placed players. | ||

But team themes would be cool. I would love to have TLO as a voice pack telling me "Not enough minerals". | ||

I'd like to have a new background image as well, I'm thinking about a small team of adepts with strapon dildos partying with my queens and drones, so I'll always remember to have enough units to deal with these guys. | ||

Can't exactly see what's enthusiastic about those. Spraying decals is COMPLETE bullshit that really has no place in a game like StarCraft. It's neither creative nor useful, just bullshit. But maybe we should add further similar features into the game like a button on the command card to make fart noises with our workers or having a slot machine minigame inside the unit stat screen when highlighting our main buildings. | ||

I think skins are cool and the UI revamp looks neat. I agree that everything that's not lore is silly if you ask me (decals, rotating things hovering above townhalls, etc) and out of place in a competitive environment. | ||

This wouldn't be so much the case in sc2, but it still adds an extra layer of distraction that very competitive players can do without. | ||

Yeah, people really need to realize that games are about having fun, not just about being competitive. These are all features that will be used in creative and maybe even useful ways. There will be highlights of these things being used in competitive games. | ||

If you can't have fun just playing the game, you should probably seek for alternatives. For me personally, these features are not enhancing the fun of the game, because they don't add anything useful. If people don't enjoy the competitiveness of the game, they should go play other games, nothing wrong with that. | ||

I should stop playing sc2 because i don't find the competitive aspect the most appealing to me?? Do you know about campaigns, co-op, 2v2, arcade, etc. ? Honestly I'm just happy that blizzard keeps supporting heavily this game, we got sooo many new updates and upgrades this year (and relatively close to lotv release too!) Well done, the voice packs are really nice and the skins too  | ||
