I do not know if i am the only one that has observed this but , if u guys have seen the gameplay so far , i gues you saw the big terrifing colossus from protos , i gues it is a good unit and all that but some one could expected a big explosion or something , or even an animation of it going down , because i gues if it climbes mountains and stuff but noo ,all you see is a little pop like it was an mcv or something , same thing on some terran mecanical units and then is the zerg , where not only the units go out in a small little red blurr and then it vanishes , where in SC I was more animated than here , but here even the buildings go the same pops a little red and then u see bones flying that to not to much. what i mean is they should put some more effects on the units when they pop like in the old game not some cheap bye bye colors and a few animations. Don't know how the final version will be but i hope it will be more than this . sorry if i bodered but this is what i have observed. don't know about you all
Animations would get in the way of multiplayer so there's different physics and animations in the single player. You may already have want you want.
First, too much animation gets in the way of gameplay. I don't want blood shooting everywhere and screwing up my micro. Second, the game isn't even in beta yet, things can still change.
Yeah , i gues you are right there, to much everithing does spoil micro, it was just odd seeing such a big unit/units go out in one tiny explosion but hey as you said many things can still change. And I gues they know best )
Karune said in a recent "blue post" that they were adding a lot of animations for the various ways units can die. Here's a link: http://forums.battle.net/thread.htm...3_06?topicId=14697630778&pageNo=2&sid=3000#22
Same here. I'm usually too busy playing. I would however like for air units to crash instead of just exploding. THat's about it for death animations though.
I think they should add an option to turn on/off graphical extras that make the game more realistic so that you aren't confined to only having those graphics to get in the way of your gameplay.
Now that is a great idea, i mean it is a verry good thought when playing the campagne to activate the realistic graphics ,all animation and that, and disable it when playing in multiplayer on the net for more efficiency and micro control and i gues will greatly reduce lag if someone has it alldough i never experience it or had a problem in that departament. .
If you could turn off the realistic graphics, it would also make it easier for weaker computers to play the game.
I think that a good idea, since my computer probably cant handle it! If it cant, must spend some money on better parts! Lol, I usually download games 4 free by bittorrent but i think with Sc2 will buy it so I ca play it on internet. I wonder how much it'll cost!
Even if elaborate explosions/ death animations for specific units are omitted from the final release, I'm sure there are some people with the talent, dedication and time on their hands to implement such features.
