Or it could be that they have 2 teams , one for SC2 and one for battlenet, i don't thit that they pulled SC2 modelers and artists away from sc2 to write code for the new battlenet

And i don't hink that they have decidet to remodel only the zealot, they have probaly decidet to improve all of the Protoss , now that they have finally finished the new designs for the zerg.

Indeed, the art department can't be expected to sit idle while Battle.net is being worked out.

Is there somewhere we can see this new Zealot? - holding off on an opinion until I see, and we already have so little to talk about.

[Hammerhead]

maybe while they're doing the new zealot art, they'll go ahead and rework the zerg completely. Maybe add a few new units. just a thought

First place you will be able to see it is Blizzcon ;] that's why I can't wait.

UNLESS fan sites have their hands on some juicy art screenshots and other delicious info and it will all be revealed on the 17th? Can anyone confirm the NDA is still dropping then?

Stop bashing DS, honestly the zealot was fine and he is right. Most of the protoss were fine. What they need to do is look at tose freaking ugly terrans. Remodel the THORRRR, everyone as been asking for it since the day it came out. Then of course, the marauders, the hellion and might as well touch up the viking a bit. Make my Terrans look good please

They should be pumping more resources into getting battle.net working, obviously. Instead of doing art passes on units that may not even exist after beta is played for awhile, those artists should be focused on making the b.net interface more streamlined.

Normally, I have supported blizzard's priorities. This time, I do not. They didn't remodel the Zealot again because it looked bad. They did it because they're bored waiting for b.net.

I agree that all possible efforts should be focused on B.Net, but I doubt the art team is capable of helping. As others have said, the art team either sits around doing nothing or continues to make small improvements.

Umm guys, since when is "Fine" good enough for starcraft 2? The art is either great or it needs to be redone. Where the fuck did this "Fine" is ok come from?

As well the Art team doesnt work on battle.net, thats why its called the art team, because it works on the art.

That sounds pretty logical, I just hope Bnet is at least ready for the multiplayer aspect to start beta "soon" (just after Blizzcon).

interface art, presentations @ BC art, avatar art, stuffwedon'tknowabout art

Not that I mind though.

I think the main art thing I want to see at this point is all the unit portraits.

There are still a lot missing.
