unlocked automatically a zergling skin or you choosed it? If automatically, maybe I overlooked it.

It's automatic.

Then I am sure I overlooked it. I was looking to unlock any Protoss/Terrans skin all the time.

Well all 3 skins will unlock at the same time, regardless of which race you play, assuming you bought all 3. Just check if you can equip the skin.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

i think... if u really like playing SC2 chances are you will "feel" like the skins are worth it.

I play Starcaft every day and like it enough that I'd continue playing if my zerglings were white squares. I think it's silly to measure how much someone likes something by how much money they'd spend on it. I would never spent a cent on skins because to me the way a unit looks is irrelevant. I just care how it functions from a gameplay pov.

I wait until Swarm Hosts are nerfed until I invest any more money in SC2.

Why? Because if Swarm Hosts are left in their current state I doubt I will be playing this game in 3 months. Which would mean it would be pointless to buy any skins.

You're polarizing the player base by creating in- and out-groups when saying things like that. Why do I like SC2 less than others just because I don't care about cosmetical items, sprays and all these things they've added recently, which naturally means I won't spend as much money on the game as you guys do?

me? i'm making an "IF ... THEN" statement about who might perceive enjoyment from buying skins.

2 of my RL friends play SC2 lots. 1 spent the bare minimum $140... the other buys every Commander, Voice Pack, and Skin. makes no difference to me.

I'm diggin the Protoss and Zerg skins, Terran looks like they got kind of screwed outside the Battle Cruiser.

Also diggin how the money will be used for Esports, kind of sucks however that there are games out there like Heroes of the Storm that are free and you can pay for stuff, but with SC2, 3 full priced expansions later and they don't even give you the option of playing say....50 - 100 ladder games with each race to unlock things.

Isn't the goal to get people playing/watching SC2 more to boost it's popularity in the Esports world? Or is it to get a 1 time donation?

Still going to buy it though, SC2 is life and I know HOTS doesn't have campaigns so meh, just feels like once again Blizzard charging you for stuff that you should be able to grind for.

my main race as Terran. i'm happy with the Terran skins. but its really subjective. i can see why people might not like the Terran skins. i feel it gives the Terran a slightly different theme. The lore behind the new skins is awesome

If Corruptors and Brood Lords are correctly listed as separate units in the skin section, then so should HTs and Archons. In fact, Archons can be formed from DTs, so this listing makes no sense.

Furthermore:
1. Instead of randomizing DT models which has now become archaic, can we get the 2 models as separate selectable skins.
2. Can Blizzard please improve the default HT model. It's one of the most ugly unit models in the game. The cloak flaps in a very unnatural way, extends too far out when the HT is moving, it looks thinner than paper, and the 3 traces the HT makes when it moves is too distinct and would look better if it blended more.

Yea I mean they are still cool, it's minor but I actually really like the way the marines look, it's like a nice subtle change.

Protoss definitely got the coolest ones lol wow so much swag

I think we really need to have an opportunity to turn the skins off, especially considering we have quite an ammount of skins already.

I would honestly not mind too much if all our skins were randomizable... If I own 3 different skins for a Colossi, I'm only going to be able to display 1 at a time. I don't really plan to go into collections and modify skins that often.

If not the DT way (which is fair, cuz its messy), at least have an option to randomize each skin per game. So one game it might be purifier colossi, one game it might be all taldarim colossi.

i'd like to see the fans vote on what skin theme they want players to have during mirror matches... while the players themselves just see the standard skins in the game they're playing.

Randomizing skins for all units would be totally whacked.

The only reason it is a bit less disruptive for DTs is because they're permanently cloaked.

It makes sense to remove the randomization for DTs, and just let people choose between the 2 skins.

Your second suggestion of random skins that remain the same for the entire game is fine though.

Hey guys I've been experimenting with some ways to shorten the time you have to invest to unlock the warchest (I'll be deep in my studies during phase 3 but still want to unlock the stuff within the defined period). I thought the first win of the day per race (no matter the format you're playing) granted you 100K bonus xp (as stated here https://goo.gl/8sG9pb), so I tried to just put 3 insane AI on my team vs 1 opponent very easy AI on a custom map (and do something else during the 5 minutes it takes the game to end); works fine with the races I don't normally play but with Terran doesn't give me any XP (cuz I'm lvl 50 already maybe?). What do you guys figure?? Have you guys found anything faster?

I just kind of wish they hadn't used so much gray in these skins. The banshee and the phoenix look like they have slightly darker tones and they look amazing compared to the others.
