Edit: Extracted the Thor and Mutalisk portraits from the flash files, although not as hi-res as the others.
Updated, managed to extract the Thor and Mutalisk portraits from the flash files. They do not have as high a resolution as the other portraits but will do for now.
It sounds like the devs are still trying to find a good role for the Thor.
I like the Thor portait, but thats still about the only thing I like about that thing. I still believe they are trying to hard to keep the Thor in the MP game. This episode discusses the subject pretty well actually: it comes from art, but it doesn’t really have a rightful place in the game itself.
Now I am not all negative today
I love the new portaits and especially the new screenshot. Its amazing!
