This is a great example of a time when I could not be happier that I was wrong. Blizzard has essentially fixed the custom game system and they have done it in record time. My hat is off to Blizzard.
Does the "fun or not" category include all maps or just the recently published ones? It would be good if Blizzard erases all maps on the server and let the map makers update them again, because there's a lot of unfinished maps from map makers who do not play starcraft anymore.
Every time my patcher finishes, it appears to restart..... I thought it was just downloading multiple things but its been doing this for an hour.
It is looping and trying to download the patch over and over again. I've seen it before when patch 1.1 live. The best u can do is close it and wait till it got fixed

+1 to that. They live up to their reputation on delivering quality games. Which is probably the main reason Blizz games are the only ones I ever pay the original price for.
I don't see how this system helps. While you can much more easily find maps you've heard of, players are still exposed to no more maps they don't know about than previously.
The Fun or Not will not help that much with 1000's of maps. Without categories for each type of map, this entire effort is futile.
"Advertise your map"
I'm very sick of that. Not everyone is social. Not everyone is arrogant and willing to spam their work everywhere. Not everyone wants to approach mapping with marketing and advertising in mind. Especially because the type of person to make a map is likely not the type of person who gives a shit about those things.
Yes, you can join games of maps you know of. But the problem still exists of finding those maps in the first place.
Alive and well... waiting for my time to strike! lol jk of course. You wont see me outside of these and the TL forrums though, i was perma banned from bnet forums shortly before my "Death" ><
I may have not been making maps for a few months but ill tell you this, my brain has only been building up ideas and piling them up and at this point im about to lactate maps lol. No worries though i learned how to use the data editor before my "death" so im actually able to pump out a much higher quality now and not that rushed crap i used to.
Heres hoping that i actualy get back into "Map Mode" and we can all talk nicely about eachothers maps rather then argue over whos is more popular :).
How many downloads are there? Ive downloaded 10+ things.....
Wow is all i have to say. This is faster and better than I could have guessed.
Kudos Blizz.

@OneTwoSC: Go

Also, there's no social category? :(

Pretty exciting, hope this patch can fix PLO bugs. I've def. hit the 'weapon firing' validator crash before and reported it.

What about players who don't know what they are looking for to play?
Fun or Not is basically "Play a Random Game" If you dont know what you are looking for, you random and let the wheel decide for you.

Hmmm, maybe i might actually start mapping again....

Now let's see an RPG category and I'm set!

Public Test editor not uploading for anyone else?
And BTW a tools update came out that fixes the patch problem I was having! : )
EDIT: "SC2 Public Test server is not available right now. Please check http://www.battle.net/sc2/game/ptr/ for more information."
WTF....
Don't worry, even hell has a special place for Debates. Blizz will make it's own category for it.
@Gorandor: Go
Yeah that category will be called banned lol.
