...ok seriously. I created multiplayer map and published it. It worked fine when i played myself, but now i need to check with human people. the problem is noone wants to join my map when i open it. how can i test it? in wc3 there was also someone who clicked on a funny game name and joined just to try it.
how does even cool maps start? when noone plays your map, you get no popularity , so .... noone will recognize you and noone will play your map.
Eternalwraith, the problem is BNet 2.0 is beyond counter-intuitive in the way it works. Its next to impossible to be in one place long enough or even to see some person again to actually make friends with someone.
I've made two friends so far over BNet 2.0...
Am I anti-social? Perhaps but thats in IRL. When I don't have more friends on a game than in real life, its not my fault, its the crappy system.
Everyother game I play(ed) (AoE2,AoE3,Runescape,Halo for PC, MW2) I'v gathered WAY more friends in half the time I'v gotten in Sc2.
PshychoMc is right, its pretty much impossible to jump in , without have friends joining Sc2 WITH you, be able to test a map.
