Clickable: Decide StarCraft 2's Dark Templar unit

by James Ransom-Wiley { Jan 8th 2009 at 6:15PM }

click for THREE new screens (hint: the first three)

If you're reading this, then you're still alive. Congratulations -- you must be drinking plenty of fluids and living off of stored "energy." But we're gonna have to ask you to put aside those delicious StarCraft II screens you've been digesting for the past 55-plus hours and fulfill your next test as a Blizzard devotee: Vote for the final version(s) of the Protoss unit Dark Templar -- right here. (Just don't hold your breath for a game credit.)

Oh, and when you're done, here are three new screens that are simply to die for:

Works fine for me. I voted for number 2.

Server is so down right now.

WiiFTW @ Jan 8th 2009 6:47PM

Thanks for the heads-up.

Mike @ Jan 8th 2009 6:32PM

Gettin' rocked.

WiiFTW @ Jan 8th 2009 6:52PM

Thanks for the heads-up.

Link is dead and so is starcraft2.com supposedly?

Beaver Of Love @ Jan 8th 2009 6:34PM

I was humming "Still Alive" when I read the first sentence of this article. Weird.

Zorink @ Jan 8th 2009 6:53PM

Portal or Mirror's Edge?

MisterSquared @ Jan 8th 2009 6:35PM

The internet killed it.

mr mobius @ Jan 8th 2009 6:36PM

Korea killed it.

iofthestorm @ Jan 8th 2009 6:38PM

So, so true...

JohnMazz @ Jan 8th 2009 6:37PM

"Click the link", they said.

MegaSnort @ Jan 8th 2009 6:41PM

#1 or both, sorry but the second one is not doing it for me. Too much of a predator rip-off with the mandibles, not to mention the darthmaul/deathscythe hybrid weapon.

Timett @ Jan 8th 2009 8:01PM

Number 1 is better but I'm not creating an account to vote. I don't like the idea of having both in the game but the "both" option is way ahead so... whatever.

benjor0x0r @ Jan 8th 2009 6:45PM

Starcraft 2...*yawn*

Wake me up when Blizzard stops trying to screw everything in sight.

yincrash @ Jan 8th 2009 7:15PM

non-www version works for me. http://starcraft2.com/features/protoss/darktemplar-vote.xml

JerJer @ Jan 8th 2009 6:49PM

ohhh! roadrunner says i can buy starcraft 2 books at target.com! nice!

also link = dead.

Strategy_Panda (The Sandwich Poisoning Crew) @ Jan 8th 2009 7:18PM

I was going to vote for #3 but found out I had to register... then I remembered I was lazy and would probably not play this game.

GenBanks @ Jan 8th 2009 7:19PM

You need to register a blizzard account in order to vote :/

I prefer the dual blade scythe one though. But if it's a fairly weak unit in the game, I'd go for the first one.

Blazur @ Jan 8th 2009 7:21PM

There's one more new screenshot you overlooked.

That is a shitload of shit! Look at em all!

Giroro @ Jan 8th 2009 9:19PM

I don't like either of those 3d models. They're outline is really misproportioned for what I expect from a 'stealth' unit...

and the 2nd one actually sounds sort of like a tank-type unit

MatsJn @ Jan 9th 2009 8:15AM

I'm gonna go with the Lenassa tribe on this one, sure it would be cool to have them randomly pop out, but then I think they should add 1-2 more tribes so you'll have a better mix.

But to add, I don't like the model on wither of the templars, they seem to bulky and buff.perhaps they will look better if they are given a perma-cloak like in the original.

Besides it really seems like these two units should have radically different stats, and having them both represent the same unit seems a little off. I want them to use Zer'atai as an additional unit, one that gets higher armour for each Zerg they kill =)
