The 3d model artists at Blizzard have way too much time on their hands so having models be unlocked with marginal differences not only does it not detract from working on other things that could be more important (one artist working on different variants of models could be done in 1 business day), but it makes 0 difference in gameplay since the difference in appearance will obviously be marginal (different weapons for dts and shit). Coding it would take like 2 hours. I'm not personally against it, but things I can see are: -It would get confusing if there were too many different models (unlikely, of course, unless things started getting out of hand a la Mortal Kombat Armageddon) -It would serve no purpose as people would just achievement farm -It just feels overly gimmicky Oh and most importantly it wouldn't be exactly like SCBW | ||

Skins would be nice tho, or anything that is visable but not distracting or confusing for those who have not seen it before. Maybe - New possible shapes for your teams emblem (if its not 100% modifiable anyway). - Different decals on buildings (like the word 'bar' on the merc haven or a different model dancing on the top). - New team colors as mentioned above - An emote (like a smily or a star or whatever) before your name in chat or purchasable emoticons for use in chat - The ability to choose the color of your blood (lol) when your units die - The ability to purchase a new look or color for the harvested gas and minerals Can't think of much else right now  I love all these ideas gogogogogo blizzard do this all please | ||

everybody where playing like assholes to get stuff, and it ruins doing actually cool stuff because everybody ahs already done it, you can't really talk about how awesome the SCV rush was when half of bnet already got the SCV rush achievement because they wanted a new skin, it turns something special into a commonplace task. just having acheivements is fine, you get a little badge for tripple nuking someone or stuff like that, but when you NEED to do things like this for a reward they're not something a little fun on the side anymore, it turns into work. And it's often stuff that isn't considered standard play, so imagine playing on the ladder for a day and all your opponents try worker rushes for achievments. why have it unlockable in the first place? why not just give the players the content right then and there? | ||

I would like it if you can pimp your Battle.Net-profile with some archievents or somethin'. I mean, it shouldn't affect gameplay. | ||

- achievements - new unit armour at certain ranks you get for winning online games It's a nice touch. But has to be done carefully. In DoW2 it was pretty easy because the differences in armour were rather subtle in most cases and you operate as squads there so you automatically see what's what. In SC it would be a bit trickier as you have tons of individual units and if the model changes would go too far it could create a lot of confusion. Especially for new players, who'd have to play against someone more experienced who has unlocked a lot of that stuff and all of his units look different now. Just imagine you've been playing against the computer to learn the basics, enter bnet and you get attacked by something you have never seen before... | ||

Thats why I think that skins should only be unlocked by the number of wins you have (like in WC3 with icons). Basically it keeps the game new and fresh for people who play allot. I think that things like "worker rush while a nuke is falling on your neural parasited MULE" should be left for achievements.

Thats an idea. Maybe a awesome Xel'naga UI. | ||
