So a few months ago I made a few SC2 maps, two of which in particular I spent a really long time working on. When I downloaded Beta phase 2 yesterday, I was having sound issues. As a last resort I decided to just uninstall and reinstall the beta. What I didn't realize is that by taking this action I would apparently wipe my custom maps folder from existence, which obviously as a result has left me without my creations. I managed to find an older version of "Lotus Prime" by luck I had laying around in my documents folder, but "Chaos Sanctum," "Tempest," "Super Blood Bath" etc. are all gone forever it seems.
The only thing I can think of is that those of you who tested the maps with me must have downloaded them in order to play them, so the files themselves are still around unless you too have deleted them or the new patch somehow erased them or something (which I doubt). I'd ask if those of you who tested the maps with me could check and see if you have them, but then again I think any effort to do so would be a waste of time because I made sure to publish the maps as "locked" which will prevent me or anyone from opening the file in the editor to modify and save...so I think I'm screwed here. If anyone has any ideas at all (not keeping my hopes up) or would at the very least see if they have the locked file, I'd really appreciate it.
And yeah, I'm a complete idiot for not backing those files up and for it not occurring to me that uninstalling SC2 would wipe my maps. Fuck.

Yep, I got pretty sucky while beta was gone. :lol This is sad.
I know it's been said before but I HATE the way custom games are managed. It's just so bad! A friend and I are in the process of creating a map right now and it's turning out to be a great one! The thing is, how will anyone ever play it?? God I just hate the custom game list so much!!! FUCK YOU LINE DEFENSE and all of your shittyness!!!!!

All I'm seeing in placement is cheese =\
Easy to beat but I want to work on my macro. Also, no drops.

I think I'm just gonna wait a few days to see if they make everything better.

The game runs on my old ass Macbook reg (the one with the uber shitty X3100 graphics), you have to have most of the settings to low. The game was even like you should not be able to play it but yet here I am losing on a regular basis :lol
So yes it should run on yours, you will just have to tweak to settings to what you find acceptable

I don't understand the division stuff at all. The points you get determine your ranking in division and then something else determines when you rank up/down? And it's real-time so you can win but not get enough points to stay current and actually lose ranking? Cuz I know that has happened to me.

I'm guessing the -2 placement games remaining is a common bug.....

I guess this explains the horrid performance on Macs... but what I don't understand is, what's wrong with Source games then, and why only Nvidia cards?

So whats the most popular race in the beta?
WOW talk about bad sportsmanship. 2v2, we raped this team and so they decided to start building nexuses everywhere. this dude build like at least 10 nexus. finally he thought he would be clever and actually typed out "FrozenMango has left the game" hoping we would quit. :lol
fuck you. took like 20 minutes longer than it should have.

Only thing I see wrong with this behavior is if you're dying to get higher on the ladder, and in that scenario I can fully understand the resentment.
However, being one of the few and the proud who really do play sc2 casually (at least for now) I love games like this. It's so satisfying to just slowly hunt them down as they waste their time and spend so much effort trying to get me to quit or something.
It's really immature and for that alone it can be infuriating too, but I really feed off their frustration! It becomes a game in and of itself: how to most efficiently and quickly scan the map for all remaining buildings.

needs more information, you left out the part that connects what maps there are with the apparent obvious cannon rush because of such maps that's causing you boredom.
Regardless, there should be a lot of maps judging by previous craft games. I am anxiously awaiting their (hopefully well designed) max player game like divide and conquer for warcraft 3.

Not sure if it works that way, they might just give you a random combination of numbers that isn't used yet for this username. Also, it would probably give you 001 if you were the first one.Xamdou said:
I'm currently in the process of logging into the EU server. It's kinda screwed up, it took me about 10 minutes alone to even be able to enter my password/authenticator and now I seem to be stuck, I just clicked Accept on the last EULA thing and now it won't go on. Oh joy.

Terran by far in phase 1. Protoss / Zerg are fairy even in numbers overall as lowbies all used Terran or Protoss and as you went up the number or Zergs increased while Protoss went down
and the protoss that did appear at this point only ever cheezed

Its randomly generated, unless I am the 440'th ChronicleX in EU within 10 minutes of the servers coming back online :lol
ZvZ is pretty damn boring at my level (Gold) I out zergling them with superior macro, and with the bonus units and slightly better micro the games don't last long. They try to go roaches or spam spine crawlers, but by then my speedlings are just too much. Just wish I could play Random with no mirror matchups

It just occured to me, 40 games and I think I've faced a single other random. I don't know how people can bother to choose races.
I hope the random portraits are just placeholder and get changed to Xel'Naga stuff once the game is released. The hodgepodge of races they get right now aren't cool.

And EU is down again! Crazy beta, every patch makes the game more unstable and the servers worse! :lol
