Karune: As everyone has already seen, StarCraft II has brought the world of StarCraft into 3D and added many new units, landscapes, and effects that have never been seen before. On this journey of consistent artistic evolution, we have seen Warp Rays changed to escort ships, the infamous Carrier brought back into action, and even the Siege Tank get a makeover. There is still much left to this artistic journey and now is the community's chance to let us know what you love about StarCraft II visually and what you would change.
Community Questions for Fans:
1. Do you like the new look of the landscapes?
2. How does the Terran faction look visually?
3. How does the Protoss faction look visually?
4. Additional Feedback you would like to give

We are looking forward to some great discussions about the StarCraft II visuals!
Definitely more rugged. Especially the Terran machine units. That's what was great about the Terran units in the first Starcraft. They looked oily, beat up, and used over and over. Everything in Starcraft 2 looks a tad plasticy. Maybe the could add a layer of rust or something. I don't know. I'll think about this more later.
I have no idea who Knaak is and what interview you are talking about. Medieval says "Post your feedback at the following forum thread:" and in that thread he says: "Please structure feedback as follows, otherwise your post will be removed:"
So I think it's more of a survey thing and he is not going to scrutinize our replies here. Of course, he may, I'm just saying it would be nicer to go there.
But Medieval is offering to do this for us here. So you may as well express your thoughts about art direction in Starcraft II. And you really don't know who Knaak is?
He's not offering us to do it HERE. He is offering US to do it. See the difference? If he just wanted feedback from this thread, WHY did he give a link to SCtwo?
No I don't know who Knaak is. I could care less. The only people I actually knew by names were Kevin Schilder and John Carmack.

Well, StarcraftTwo is part of the Diablo3.com network. I guess you can post them here too. However, please keep the format, and answer all questions. A single line of feedback won't be taken serious as this needs to be forwarded to Karune, who in turn will forward it to Samwise Didier and Dustin Browder.

I love the landscapes, they look great. From what I've seen, they do give the game plenty of potential for the game to look as good as it is.
2. How does the Terran faction look visually?
The Terran faction looks a bit too glossy and mainstreamed. The units look great but lack the sharp corners and battle scars. Some scratches, spotting, and maybe even some dents and rust would perfect them.
3. How does the Protoss faction look visually?
The Protoss in my opinion looks awesome. They are also a bit glossy and mainstreamed in places, but that is how I feel they should look.
4. Additional Feedback you would like to give.
The Cinematics Team gets a high five for their work on the trailer. I hope we get to see alot more of what they do, because the visuals are just phenomenal.
1. Do you like the new look of the landscapes?
Yes, no additional comments.
2. How does the Terran faction look visually?
The Terrans look superb. For me, they're about big, bulky technology. Less design, more functionality. And you can't have an army of rusty tanks working properly, you need an army of new, clean tanks working perfectly. Great, simply put.
3. How does the Protoss faction look visually?
They look worse than in SC1 though. The Zealots in particular look more like they're jumping around. In the first game I always imagined them like agile fighters yes, but also powerful combatants. And by powerful I mean hard-hitting. Looking at their animations they flow around too much, as if they're armors weights nil and isn't affected by gravity, and their strikes certainly don't match their furious barrage of hits from the first game.
And all of their units in general seems less commanding than previously. The Protoss were the peak of advancement in SC1, fierce and strong. Now they're look more quick and agile.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
