You can blame all the people yelling "TONKA TOYS!" for the change in Terran art.

I actually liked the old Terrans with the exception of the fat lip Siege Tank. Lol.

Wow. There are like galaxies of distance between the first Thor design, and the new one...

But if i can remember, people complained a lot about the first design... I can't imagine why they aren't saying anything about the new one.

I would blame the model rather than the gray color. It would be a much better comparison if both units were the same model. In my opinion though, I have always rooted for the old Thor model. Turn him gray, just give him back his old model, and he'll be better.

It looks fine in game. You get used to units looking like they do after the Xth game you play. It's not as if the Thor is sticking out like a sore thumb. It still looks like a Terran unit, and functions the same way it always has. When I play the game, all I take notice of are selection circles and health bars. Graphics are only a concern when it's too difficult to make out Unit X with Unit Y.

Personally I don't see anything wrong, so I don't understand what the issue is. Is this unit really that bad in the game? When you make a Thor does it really look that bad as a unit?

-Edit- Kadaj, looks like you just got the beta this week, so I'm figuring you haven't spent the last few months using thors and getting used to its look in game?

I was one of the people who was bitching about the Thor design, and I'll tell you why I'm not bitching about the new one:

I recognize that the old model is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better.
The reason why I'm not bitching about the new one, at all, is because I've just given up. My loathing for the ridiculous concept and unit that is the Thor, which is just damn-well GOING to be shoe-horned in to the game, has only just made me angry and tired me out.

So honestly, I gave up. I prefer the old model, and I have no idea why they changed it to the new one, but whatever. I use the unit on occasion to defend against Mutalisks, and its ground damage is pretty nice, especially if you can sneak it in to somebody's undefended expansion to take out worker units, but otherwise, meh.

The model itself is cool (or at least, the original one), I just hate the unit, its design, and that it goes in some anime (*cough* Robotech *cough*) and I hate that Samwise has literally said, "HERE IS UNIT, MAKE IT FIT!" and that the design team has done so. There's a few units that are clearly that way, and I find it disappointing and extremely telling of the philosophy behind creating this game.

So, true to its word, Thor is here (to stay), and so I just accept it, no matter what they do to it.

Ive been playing the cracked version, so I have the idea about the Thor size. After playing BETA for 2 days, i can say its a little bit funny the new size. I can get used to it, but it looks silly.

Are you saying i have to play more??? 24 hours a day??? 26??? Ok i'll do it sir...

I'm saying there's an obvious difference between someone seeing these changes through playing the game, and seeing these changes through screenshots and heresay. It's hard to tell what your experience is with the game when in another thread you mention you 'just got the beta'. That's all.

Uh, for me it is exactly the opposite. Old ones look like plastic toys and new one looks like good design for some PC game, which is exactly what it is supposed to be. You sure that you aren't smoking anything?

[scorpio19]

I am sure anything smoking and.. I am sure you are kid.

and I don't care anymore ..this is not starcraft space..go play buggy and go play plastic toys.
