Ok, a map I worked on way back in beta (never finished it) had this hardened psi shield upgrade available for marines if you chose to ally with the protoss. Well, look at this nifty icon included in patch 1.1:
Do you think Blizzard saw my map? Seems pretty plausible to me. I guess this is nothing more than morale and reinforcement that Blizzard is behind us, the mapping and modding community.
that icon was always in the editor... only in black and white. last patch a lot of those icons got a colour one added.
so no. its really really unlikely that your map has added this icon.
if they payed attention to us they would fix the broken publishing software and not force us to make retarded 5 minutes maps with as little players possible

Well actually they are now paying attention. Coz, first they did everything they need for the campaign. They had "deadline" and they dont need to put more features in editor then they need in campaign really.
Now, with those colored icons... actually they dont need it. But it will help them sell the game better. Remember DotA, it sells Wc3.
With 1st expansion we will have tons of extra things.
Popularity and bnet. Well I dont expect much before 1st expansion really... They had to release the game in order to being able to improve it.
I don't understand why the Blizz is concentrating on making a new "Show more" button? That shows that they apparently don't know the problem. They said "We know is sucks", but they are concentrating on graphicly upgrading the popularity system instead of making something better.

That's not the same team that decide graphics improvements and overall systems change.

I'm not entirely sure what this thread is about by now, but here's a compulsatory "WEEEEEEEEEEEH, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEH, OTHER PEOPLE QQ ABOUT SOMETHING BLIZZ IS DOING SO I WILL QQ ABOUT IT TOO".

Actually because they have reports that ppl doesnt know that there are more maps to play as the button is not visible enough. They just fix it so ppl can find map to play. To fix the entire system need more works

Wait wait.. so..
Blizzard saw your map in thousands, one you've never finished, that you worked on long ago during beta. They played it and said: "This map totally needs a new colorful spell icon to be awesome. In Wc3 we let the people make their own icons because they're actually capable to do so, but now we're gonna make new icons ourselfs for maps that haven't been touched for months!"
Did I get that about right?
I hope you understand how ridiculous and naive that is :P
Yes, I'm sure Blizzard looks at the mapping community in general, and they surely play some maps online. But they really have better things to do than to help individuals by adding a trivial icon to the game.

tosh had this ability before you even got into the beta ;)

Don't worry, the men in white coats only want to help you.
And of course Blizz pays attention. It's Blizz, ffs. No Activision whore can change that.

Still reeks of that old adage about trying to polish a turd :P Why'd they even bother.

Hmm, that was new. I did play Warcraft 3 online since release, but never came across the term - to be fair, I never played it in melee.
The 2D artists don't work on battle.net's backend
I got a chesscraft fan from RU tell me that he loved the map but cant play it anymore since its not on the list. There's only twelve map there ...
Wait wait.. so..
