    Ignorant posts?

    Could you next time try at least to write what you mean?
    You never, EVER, stated that the gameplay aspect was being driven off course by the progamers.
    Anyways, that minority is what kept the game alive for 13 something years, making it interesting for players all around the world to give it a try.

    And yes, I've seen your prior examples, and they just show how little you know about the game.

    If the unit debris, let's think about a battlecruiser, falls to the ground and blocks other units from walking through, or doesnt block em but the units can hide beneath the debris, even if it only lasts like 30 seconds, dont you think that could affect gameplay?

    I actually agree with you on this one. I dont think MBS will affect the game at all, but Im starting to have my doubts on automining, since it takes some of the awards of raiding a base away, since it takes micro for the raided guy to relocate his newly built scvs...

    And we already discussed the turning animations.

    This is what drove me to think you were just looking for eye candy, and I was not the only one who though that. :eek: Sorry if I was wrong.
     
  2. Wow.. I didn't see this before. StarCraft was what it was because of it's gameplay; not it's graphics. Nothing should come in the way of the gameplay (I'm not saying you valued graphics over gameplay though). If you were talking about the single-player, I would completely agree with you, but, the fact remains, that it's quite possible that these things do negatively affect gameplay (I wouldn't know; I haven't played it) and if it does then it should be removed or toned down. That being said, I do strongly agree with you that many of their fears are ill-placed and they are destroying important parts of the game out of these fears. That's another part of what I was saying I agreed with you on :D.

    I hope Blizzard atleast has an option to toggle these things if a person wants them or does not want them. That way everyone is happy. Since these things don't directly affect gameplay, it would make a lot of sense to implement this since turning off certain physics effects or death animations would be the equivalent of turning down other graphical options such as texture resolution. It has no effect on the gameplay.

    -- I really need to quit reading paragraphs that aren't properly spaced out in random, out-of-order ways. I must have missed that paragraph when reading it the first time because I was jumping around it.
