Basically, you replace the blackness of Starcraft with a dark fog that shows you the basic lay of the land. I don't see any advantage at all to leaving the map totally black. it affects a small percentage of games and allows players to enjoy a wider variety of maps and utilize a wider variety of stratgies since they don't have to memorize a map to know where to drop tanks. | ||

The original never had them, why are you putting them in? It's too... I hate to say it.... C&C-esque. Look here. OH GOD, CnC HAD FENCES! You know CnC had tanks too, better scrap the siege tank, it's way too CnC-like. CnC. So much for the minor complaint thread. How about the minor complaint thread that coincides with FrozenArbiter's opinion thread? Just because this thread is for nit picking doesn't mean the nit picking can't be unfounded, irrational and flat out annoying to read. I mean, seriously, fences because CnC had fences? | ||

1. Make Colossus more fun. Give some quick kill abilities (best option IMO). Maybe make the first hit do a lot of damage, and the line do a small splash amount. That'd make it more like a reaver/tank, which are fun. Or just give it some energy/time based scarabs or missles or something. Or they are against making it a killing machine, at least make it a dancing machine... make its walk speed way faster (think reaver in a shuttle or simply the immense range of a siege tank). 2. Give me a Nighthawk irl. I love their new look (kinda looks like an arbiter actually). 3. Defiler graphics are still way better than the Infestor graphics. (Love the rest of the Zerg unit graphics, for the most part... more so than T or P actually). 4. Make probe skinnier and SCV fatter (in looks alone... keep actual sizes the same for balance). | ||

I've actually always wondered why there isn't a unit that has like a "turbo" ability :D It'd make much more sense for, say, a Hellion than the Colossus tho. | ||

On November 04 2008 04:35 Savio wrote: Make Roach Melee Explanation: The purpose of the roach is to absorb damage in lower mineral situations so other units can get the kills. However, their design runs completely counter to their purpose. Please make the roach a melee unit. That way they can actually absorb damage that would have just killed the zerglings who currently run past the roaches to attack. A units design should not nullify its purpose. The design should bolster/strengthen its purpose. This is not a major change since the stats could be the same and the attack animation would be very easy to change. you're wrong. zerglings' worst enemies aren't melee units, they're ranged units. so the roaches will successfully draw the fire of ranged units | ||

In before me!  But yeah. Remove MBS/Automine/Autosurround, yadda yadda. Minor complaint .. and this shouldn't really be a complaint, but more of a request ... please oh please make sure the music is badass. | ||

Most the ranged attacks in the game are unclear, or really, really tiny. I could hardly tell when units were firing, even mutalisks. Ingame, I'm certain it's much clearer, but from the videos I've seen, the attacks were unclear or realistically (-_-)small. Maybe I'm insane or partially blind, but this has been irking me since the first gameplay video. yeah mostly the only ones i noticed were from the stalkers and the colossus units. i liked the stalker attack, but someone else didn't like it. since the stalker attack seemed kinda like a battlecruiser attack in that it's laser instead of energy ball...it seems like the stalker is stronger than dragoon in two ways now...an instant attack and teleporting. alot of what they need to change are graphics...but blizzard has always said that the first thing they like to get out of the way is the gameplay...so since the game isn't balanced yet they haven't really kicked the graphics into high gear yet...which is the main area people are complaining about...including me...i wouldn't complain about it but it could be noted that the warp prism has two shadows and the overlord only has one shadow. On November 05 2008 02:12 sushiman wrote: Improved pathing is one thing, units automatically surrounding is another. I have nothing against units knowing which route to take to a destination, I love the concept of not having to babysit my units due to some map having small passages or neutral buildings blocking the route, making the AI of the units break and forcing them to dance around. However, units automatically positioning themself to always attack units is an entirely different thing. If anything, they should just stop units from dancing around trying to reach the target. Instead they should wait in place until given order to move around or the unit in front moves/dies, then continue with the previous command, unless another one is given. If the units automatically find the best angle and moves around, I'd say the amount of micro required for your units would be reduced by at least 30-40%, which is not good for a game that have already streamlined macro immensely (which is another subject that won't be discussed here). I realize you might consider this a backward move when pathing can be improved so much, but I find this a huge concern in a game that should demand alot from a player and his/her control of the units. uhm...most micro involves trying to figure out what to attack when. wasting micro on stupid unit pathing hurts the game. that means that people that go clickity click click click click click are better than those that just go clickity click click anyway surrounding units was a big deal in wc3 because of hero units. since starcraft has no hero units it's not going to be a big deal.

Just hold shift down while doing this, and you'll be fine. or use high or extra high latency | ||

-marauder is bland and uninteresting. I wish they'd just cut it completely. SC2 has too many units already. -don't like how hydras look like they're dancing and shooting arrows. I miss the old instant-fire attack, and the animation in BW made more sense -scvs should explode.. no scrap that, -all- units should explode. | ||
