I didn't see any difference so far in the popularity system... Star Battle is still in the first page, so is Colonial Wars and the others "big hits"... I only saw a totally unknow map once, but since the screenshot of the map looked like plain dirt, I assume it was boosted. It seems to be a bit more randomized in the next pages though, but it doesn't look *that* different...
Now the system is more horrible than ever...before the popular maps would stay on page 1 no matter what, but you could get your map on 2nd or 3rd page fairly easilly. Now it basically impossible to get to 2nd or 3rd page without some serious boostin with friends.
so...I guess we wont be playing any new maps like....EVER.
ye my map is in 5th page or smthing with 43 hours.. and its a timed map max is 12 minutes ppl play so cant be compared to the maps that last 1 hour lol
and now only ppl i get to play it are the guys that played it when popularity was broken(cycling)
I don't get it why the "Create" and "Join" layouts for custom gamers differ so extremly.
I mean, we isn't it possible to join recently played games, why isn't it possible to search and join games,
Anyways, just another post which will never get to the right people.
But can you tell me if the "hours played" resets sometimes? SOTIS is no.1 here in eu with nearly 8000 hours played.
Well I made the past few days a intensive study about this thread and analyzed every post here by doing complicated math and creating graphs to conclude the main problem in this system.
After all that, my conclusion is: That blizzard sucks.....no really...how retarded can you be blizzard?
OMG i hope they dont change it back....this system is decent atleast...I really like rotating maps
I dont think they will learn anything from it.

Did I miss something?
looks like its fixed now.
I kinda missing the bugged system to be honest , all it needed was a search bar.
Ok, looking at the hour totals up now, I don't think any new games are going to make their way up the list.
@Catalisk: Go
They really should have left it bugged. At least then it cycled a bit. This seems to be no better than the last system.
Compared to what we had before?
Yes.
Compared to what we have now?
Probably yes, too.
I prefer a forced loop that gives variation rather than a "get fatter" loop that will end putting the same maps up again.

Can anyone confirm how the current popularity system is working? I just noticed the hours played on my map drop from 60 to 58 hours?
Are the hours played rolling over a week or something?
Anyone know about this? It really looks like a rolling week to me. So any hours that were gained a week ago get dropped off the tota.
