-The frame isn't necessarily race themed. That's a little presumptuous of you. -There's a difference between "close" and "accept." It says "accept" when there are changes to be made to the game like graphics and hotkeys; "close" when there no changes to be made. | ||

Blizzard games are usually highly polished. I've not enjoyed Bnet 2.0 + SC2 UI since it's release. Of course it doesn't affect game play. | ||

It says "accept" when there are changes to be made to the game like graphics and hotkeys; "close" when there no changes to be made. My problem is not the usage of "accept" vs "close". It's the fact the word "CLOSE" is in all upper case, while the word "Accept" isn't. This is inconsistent. Either make all those buttons use upper-case or make them all use lower-case. When I pointed out the usage of "Accept" it was being compared to the same hotkey screen in the B.net lobby, where "OK" is used instead. Either use "OK" everywhere, or use "Accept" everywhere, it's inconsistent to use "OK" in one version of the hotkey screen, but to use "Accept" in another version of the same screen. | ||

Whilst it would be nice for things to be perfect, you need to put things in perspective. And when you compare Blizzard to companies such as Activision and EA, they are miles ahead in terms of quality. But you can't expect them to compete with these companies if they put in all this work and don't ask for money (i.e expansions) On December 27 2011 22:22 Sergio1992 wrote: Show nested quote + On December 27 2011 22:20 aderum wrote: On December 27 2011 22:14 Sergio1992 wrote: On December 27 2011 22:12 Ryder. wrote: On December 27 2011 21:52 Sergio1992 wrote: Game is still in beta,even if it is sold as a complete game.

As for your complaints I can see them, I also think I can see reasons for some of them. I'm not saying it's good design, but some of this is the way it is, not because they missed it, but because that's the option they chose. 1. When a picture is to be displayed on a frame they seem to add a black frame around that picture. It's possible they felt that a pic from the game sitting directly on top of a faded pic of the game would look messy. 2. The dropdown menu in the bottom right contains the possibility of user generated menu items. You can save and load and delete hotkey profiles and give them different names. It's the same font that they use for your account name and realid name. These are the things that leap out at me but there might be more. It'd be interesting to hear from someone from Blizzard. Though I guess some of the answers would be "A different team worked on that." or "we didn't have time."
