Why do people complain so much about a single unit's looks when all the game should have is MBS removed and unit selection limited to 12.

Oh and on note, Zerglings are supposed to have been based on grasshoppers. So they decided to add in lings. Whats so wrong about grasshoppers having wings eh?

Nobody has a problem with the unit selection limit. And Zerglings were never meant to be grasshoppers, that's saying the Terran Marines should be bumble bees with the two shoulders representing eyes.

Neither the old nor the new design look like grasshoppers....

I have a problem with the unit selection limit. I wouldn't mind if they upped it to 16 but it does need a cap somewhere.

As for MBS the version of it I heard of last is fine by me. (you select a few buildings then hit ZZZZ to make 4 Zealots instead of just Z to make zealots in them all)

Because this is the fricking topic of the thread. Is there a problem with wanting a change in all three? I think not. That is a completely illogical complaint, and it annoys the hell out of me. I'll ignore the zergling comment, as it affects nothing here at all. No one even complained about having wings! It was the STYLE of wings.

As for MBS, I think it's not as big a deal as they'd like to make it out to be... it's called progress. The reason it should be in, is the same reason we should NOT have a button to click for more gas. Think about it. Same thing goes for unit selection limit. Frankly 12 sucks for Zerg, imo. Maybe it could at least be dependent on race. But once again, this is nothing like auto-casting. It's simply easing the interface.

That being said, we've heard two sides. Let's try to stick to topic now, okay? you wanna make YET ANOTHER topic on it for the internets, be my guest.

I don't give a crap about the zerglings style of wings, I just plain don't want to see them.

Zergling != Cricket or Antlions

Actually you brought up this quote in your OP:


The last part of that "It’s a zergling, Lester, a different kind of zerg.", what does the other guy say 2 seconds before that? "Looks like you mashed some poor feller's dog, Sarge." Dog, not insect. Zerglings are more animal-like, not insect-like.

Yes, now we have someone actually complaining about having wings, that's fine. It just hadn't happened yet. I don't want em either, but if they gotta stay, it's gotta change imo.

And yeah, not my OP. aphtershox made the OP, with that in it. Also, the original quote i think was "smaller type of zerg"... just a note. Samwise seemed to be misquoting in reference to the wings, but it didn't make a whole lot of sense really. But yes, your point is there. I like the thing that comes before they hit the ling... "What's that??" -"we'll know in a second..." *whap* hehe =P

MBS, automine, and unlimited unit selection should all by implemented and give sc players a shot at a stronger UI.
You're just wrong.

The Selection does have caps, its not infinite, but it is definately alot (255, 256-1 data string count).

Zerglings with wings is cooler. What it needs are MOAR wings. And then it has the upgrade "Mutate into Flying Baneling" which lands in player bases and rapes workers.

NO U. I was talking about this thread =P I already ACKNOWLEDGED that many people complained and got it removed.


those are called scourges. =P just let them hit the ground already and do splash...

Yeah, but it might not be so bad if they had bat-type wings or something not bug-like, kinda like the mutas' wings. But, they hopped fine without them, so no reason to have wings at all.

Yeah, hate the crickets--stayed up practically all night trying to kill one in my room the other night...do not want the zerglings to illicit entomophobia.

Exactly what my point was.

You should be more concerned about the gameplay then the graphics !

It's not the "graphics" as much as it is the story aspect. We want to keep what's familiar. We also don't want marines running around in clown suits. If blizzard did that, would you still say this comment? And besides, once again, there is NOTHING WRONG with wanting changes in MORE THAN ONE aspect of the game. There is gameplay, which has a team for it, and then there's everything else, which is split up into other teams. That's just how it is. They're not all gonna work on gameplay cuz you think that's the only important thing to perfect.

I've never viewed any of the Zerg as animals. They're insects, thats why they are called the FUCKING SWARM and have FUCKING CARAPACES

Plus the graphics are fine as long as they run smooth and keep me entertained.

Zergling are entertaining?

The swarm is a swarm of Minions, not a swarm of insects.

Also, I don't beleive Shrimp are insects, just because they have Carapaces, hell even some reptiles like the turtle (shell) do too.

Insects ARE animals

Swarm of giant MINIONISH insects.

So what is the point of this thread? To complain and gripe and accomplish nothing but malcontent?

I think the zergling is/was fine with wings.

Regardless, they are assimilated and mutated "Creatures". They mutated wings, so what?

Can anyone else barely differentiate units in the overhead picture? That's what I dislike about Zerg so far, with Protoss and Terran it's pretty easy but for Zerg it's just a blob of color.
