MisterAnderson said:Oh awesome!! I didn't even realize you guys went on to play on the map after I left :lol I'm still trying to sort out the team issues. Did you guys do FFA? Any suggestions based on the game you played on improving it? (It was mainly designed for 2v2 but interested in how a FFA or 1v1 match played out, depending on what exactly you played) Thanks for the compliment too
Seconded with the good map comments. Real good map pyro, had a lot of fun on it. Probably the best game I've had in the beta against Panda at the end there. We did a FFA on it and it worked really well. After watching the replay.. I could have won that if those damn tanks didn't scare me off!

Wow, that's really kind of you to to say. Glad you enjoyed it, I spent a lot of time on that map specifically so that makes all those damned revisions worth it, lol. I really want to play on it but I want to figure out if the map editor/battle.net is bugged with melee settings or if I'm just doing something wrong...awaiting some replies on the beta map forums but it's slow going.
This might be a weird request but could either of you upload and send me a link to the replay? I'd like to see people playing the map just to get an idea of what people do on it.

Mm reposting this anyway: If any of my old 'real friends' want to re add me, let me know. Or if any new people want to add me as a 'real friend', also let me know. This new system is kind of irritating.
it was an ffa but mostly a cross position 1v1 as one dropped and the other was accidentally double teamed xDMisterAnderson said:Oh awesome!!

well, my biggest problem was that i didnt know those metal piles were destructable, so i ended up turtling hardcore because i felt that i had to take the long route everywhere.
the natural is good, chokable by terran but with effort required, giving protoss and zerg a leg up. all the ledges are a terran dream too. i more or less won the game by catching someone satanding by the middle platform bases and having my marines take the high ground and a massive arc around the protoss ball. entrenched terran seem to be very strong, but its dangerous to move out because of the harassment opportunities.
also parts of the map just beg for nydus worming. :lol
i like it, you did really good work.
I really liked the two small mineral fields and dead CC on the doodad island, that was a very nice touch.

Thanks man,
was wondering if I was just going overboard there for a sec. Glad to see someone notice some subtle touches like that. And doubly glad that the game was fun on the map, hopefully it's not overpowered for Terran.I was initially not going to post my email on here but this system is just way too annoying. Just add me if you guys want:

Tonight I've had two awful lag-filled 3v3 games, and then I lagged out (well, the game just stopped responding so I closed it) in two 1v1 games. Awesome.
And yeah, the friends management is worse now, and the menu sound effects have disappeared. Oh well, it's a beta.

My email is xlildragon@gmail.com if anyone wishes to add me. Don't laugh at my email, I've had it since like middle school or something :lol
Logged in to try out 3v3 or 4v4, and all my friends are gone* with no way to add them back. Played a few 1v1 games, and got rushed and destroyed within a few minutes by people way above my level three times in a row. What the shit. I would have had more fun playing Barbie's Horse Adventure tonight.
*I understand this part; it's a beta. But I assumed when I saw it was a wipe I'd be able to add everyone back. Alas.

At least it is not as bad as Nintendo's Friend Code system, though it is pretty darn close.

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing stupid lag tonight.
Never in any game that I played before did I lag. Now, laggin' like a fiend. Thought maybe it was my network and was going to call the ISP but everything looks okay after a modem reset. Tracerts are good, pings are great; came back online and my friends tell me they lagged out in the next game.
What has Blizzard done? Or are we all just unlucky (in multiple parts of the country)?
I'm waiting for a game to load now...have been throughout the entire time I've typed this. Me and the other player have been at 100% Complete since I started browsing this thread.
At least they're testing whatever this is now before launch. But damn, it was working fine before Blizz.

Shit you got a point there. I still cant comprehend the reasoning behind that change I mean the old system worked well.. very well. It allowed people to be identified as XXX without exposing them to a billion noob spam messages and the like, and was pretty easy to add random people. Now I mean fuck.
I mentioned many pages back that Facebook fucks up everything, this new system is an example of that. If Blizz was not so big on pushing that feature there would of been no reason to scrap their working system in favour of this bullshit.
Hey guys, back from work. I'll upload my maps soon, until then I look forward to playing with you guys again, including Hazaro, Pandaman, and MisterAnderson.

In some markets you can buy the full game unlimited for the equivalent of $59.99 like we have, or you can buy the game with 30 days online for a reduced price - something they are testing out apparently. Unlimited play was never discussed to be removed, so no need to fear there.
I'll come back with a link in a second... and here you go, the first one I found:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/new...-II-Will-Have-Monthly-Fees-But-Only-In-Russia
If this option does come here (a digital version maybe?), it still won't replace the traditional one we're all expecting. Blizzard is not exactly a company known for pulling the rug out from under its userbase.
Alright, done uploading all 5 of my maps!
If you don't know what maps I'm talking about, go ahead and go back a few pages in the thread to see them.
My maps are:
(2) Spit Shine Station
(2) Moonshine Island
(3) Trisect Canyon
(4) Forsaken Crater
(6) Disaster Plaza
Spectators are welcome to be there as well as help give feedback. All my maps are locked but available to the public as well so you may search and find it on Battle.net itself.
EDIT: Seems as though I overlooked numerous bugs in my new maps. Will re-upload again soon. Patience people!

Goddamn this lag is insane. I just got dropped from 2v2 matches 3 times in a row.
The new B.net interface sucks even more than before and the lag is crazy. Fuck this patch.

be glad you cant play, words cant describe the rage after matches consistently, 3 matches in a row, froze for everyone forcing everyone to surrender to leave. the rage part is because it consistently froze after you've ALREADY TECHED TO LIKE TIER 3 FFS
Lag has been horrible since the patch. I can't even finish a custom game with 4 people without freezing or lagging out.
PS, the custom game hosting right now is terrible. If someone becomes host of a lobby and refuses to press Start, you can't do anything about it because every time you quit and join you rejoin the same lobby. It only creates a new lobby for the game when one is full.
