Omnidiscussion Topic Bainstorming Q2-08

I think the omnidiscussion should be about the tags you cuold or could not apply to this topic.

 

so what about a collosus attack discussion , we are always nagging about that


also, the reason i posted in this thread is to request the removal of the brainstormng tag, it messes up my interface

 

Oh, that's why the layout is ****ed

It's gone from here but still in the tag cloud

 

I agree with having a serious discussion about the Colossus. We keep making topics about it, but they keep getting spammed by new members and nobody discusses the unit anymore after that. It needs to stop.

 

If I made a thread would everyone actually discuss the finer points of the colossus? The main reason I stopped was because I didn't feel like spending my time summarizing 8 posts.

I am looking for your thoughts, your thoughts on others thoughts, and your thoughts on others thoughts about your thoughts about their thoughs etc. (ie. DISCUSS)

 

That is what some people want, but most topics get destroyed by people who say: "Yeah! It must do 3000 damage or something and make it fly!" I know that's exaggerated, but I have a feeling that an omnidiscussion would force people to think about it properly if they feel like participating. -Since you always tend to make some kind of topic list of things that require attention at the start of each discussion. I always forget that.-

 

The biggest problem I see when people discuss about balance and the gameplay of Starcraft 2 they refer back to Starcraft 1 and you can't really do that because this a new game with new gameplay, units, mechanics, abilities, etc. You also can't compare units for example, the Viking and Goliath, ya they may be similar in some slight ways but you can't say stuff like "oh the viking is underpowered because it doesn't have enough range or damage like the goliath in starcraft 1."

 

When you say "graphics" do you mean how everything looks from a visual standpoint? animations? or the models of the units?

Polishing is done nowadays pretty quick and efficient. So I'm sure they can amp every little thing upon finishing the major points of the game (balance, gameplay, feel...)
Maybe the units could've been kinda more...dunno, refined/ mature/ realistic maybe modelling-wise that is.
And more clear, easy to distinguish and to understand.
Judging from BatRep2, it all looked a bit unclear to me.
Could be wrong, being it a first impression an all.

One could always effortlessly see who had/has the upper-hand in SC1 battles.
Hope it'll still be the case in SC2, unlike DoW series, total chaos upon engagement
However it was probably intentional, it being all about war&battle-feel
It's a great game though, don't get me wrong. (playing Soulstorm atm

But it's already a good thing that everything looks less WC3-ish, like at the start.

Have you bothered to check the front page of the site already? There has been a nice update regarding graphics for the Zerg very recently.

Also, this topic is kinda dead, and the posts you quoted are from several graphical updates ago.
We already have had quite a lot of threads about these things. I am sure you will find some great stuff if you search around for a bit.

 

should scrap it then, TY
was just wondering what ppl meant...back then, I guess

 

Well... we could always use the Queen, or our opinions on the art direction.

''Ok. I have browsed the recent cannon topic which has been quite popular in discussion and from that I've summerized this:
