Should resource counter be moved near mini-map?

Once again your solution, rather then the sensible thing of putting the resource counters with the rest of the interface, is to make them pink.


Good job Demo.

Lulz.

In no way am I suggesting the interface be pink. Its a stupid idea.

YOU suggested it, by asserting there is something wrong with the interface being white, and thus it required a change.

I assert that no change is required at all.

On what tileset would a neon pink resource counter be hard to see, Archer? Korhal Desert?

The solution you put forward was changing the font color. Obviously thats not a solution.

But it IS a solution. Changing the font color would solve the "white text on white terrain" issue, if such an issue even existed.

I'm merely pointing out that you're trying to give credibility to one problem you see using another problem you see. Which is a problem because in fact, the two problems are in fact not related nor are they real problems, thus making this thread a trolling farce.

Every font color will in some way conflict with the multitude of tilesets SC2 will have.



Changing font color is NOT a solution. The solution is to put the most vital intel with the rest of the user interface in a way that makes it easy for new players to learn the game and does not clutter up the actual battlefield. The only con is that players are used to having it up top.


and yes i noticed you werent able to come up with one other reason why it should be floating in top right.

I'm sorry, was that a lack of proof you just showed me?

Just because you SAY something is true, doesn't MAKE it true. You really need to learn this lesson.

The solution is to keep the "most vital intel" away from the rest of the user interface in a way that makes it easy for new players to learn the game and does not clutter up the actual battlefield. The "most vital intel" needs to be clearly highlighted, yes?

I totally did. You just ignored it, as usual.

LOL so lets get it straight. Now you are the one argueing to keep an outdated interface that favors elite longtime fans and hinders new players from learning the game.....

Oh, you mean except everyone who's ever played AoE, AoK, RoN, Civilisation, etc.? Putting the resource bar at the top of the screen is a common RTS element, not some idiosyncrasy of Starcraft.

I know, right?

I'm still waiting for him to explain how having the decades old standard "hinders new players from learning the game."

[ArcherofAiur]

Im still waiting for one reason why it should stay up there besides "thats what we are used to".

You should learn to read better, then, because there's at least 3 in this thread.
