Gripes on things revealed in the three new screenshots

the spires are dark obelisks, needed to build dark templar.

 

*-lisk is trademarked to the Zerg damn it. Sue the pants off the stinking Protoss.

 

The changing color of Protoss energy for teams looks awesome in my opinion. The Reavers needed a new look and they look good too - very foreign and artistic like the rest of their units. As before I would be disappointed if anything DIDN'T change (besides basic gameplay) - I want them to look new and move new and all that good stuff.

Even if it all stayed just as it is now it would still be the best RTS coming so I'm happy. Guess I'm just easy to please when it comes to SC.

 

I also love the team colors in Protoss blades and energy. In a large battle it may look a little like someone spilled a bag of Skittles but, I really like the way it looks in that picture.

 

Welcome to the forums Legal.

I would say that we have enough people who really like the new team color scheme for the Protoss to have Blizzard keep it. We should at least keep it until most people get to test drive it and see it in motion. It won't be too hard to patch it out later on after release if most people hated it world wide.

 

Thanks for the welcome Remy.

I was just voicing my feelings because I read that they are monitoring different boards. I agree with you, about not being too hard to patch out if it wasn't liked. Sometimes it's hard to tell how things are really going to look and feel from just a couple screenshots. When a Beta gets released, I'm sure the feedback will be more useful.

 

Really mature. Did you major in metaphors?

 

LOL yeah. I like skittles though.

i think the team color looks awesome in my opinion and the reaver look good but it needs more texture add to it with the shiny reflection like the other protoss units but not changing the pylon and the psi colors will make it look....bland? i can't think of a word for it and but thinking about it looks plain old SC which i think it needs to be more different (in team color)

 

I agree with those who are supportive of the team colors. I believe I've posted this opinion somewhere before but I guess this place is appropriate as well. The fact of the matter is that the psi color being blue is only relevant to the SC narrative, which SHOULD only really matter when doing single player campaigns. When you're doing multiplayer, I think changing the psi color is just a very straight forward and wholesome solution to team identification. I'd think it'd rather be silly for JimBob87 to be into a great multiplayer battle and cries out, "GG, but goddamn it, I need to win in BLUE!"

I really just don't think it matters that much.

Also, as far as the reaver goes, I believe Paragon may have jumped the gun a little bit on its design. So far, the screenshots have varied in quality amongst each other, sometimes the structures don't even have a shadow. I personally thought that the Protoss structures looked absolutely terrific in the demo, with high specular contrast to give that shiny feel, but also a little dark to not make it look like plastic toys. So as far as the reaver goes, I think the only thing we can discuss so far, if at all, is the structure. Which if you look at for a second, really looks pretty sweet. It almost look like an angrier reaver with sharper edges 'n what not. Now we just gotta wait til we see a reaver rendered in the same fashion as that of the demo and I'm sure ppl will have less to complain about IMO.

 

Mmmm, now that I looked at the screenshot for too long, those colors are really distracting. I can imagine that when your playing someone whose color is white, those pylons and Zealot blades will blind you.

 

white on an ice world would be fun.

 

nice find paragon u must have the most post in here with 2000 owerup:
