SC2Mapster

@abvdzh: Go Yes the reverse engineering needed is the big problem of this editor. I really regret that Blizzard doesn't work more on the editor. It is why I think that paid maps would have been fine (for the authors of course, but for the evolution of the editor too). But people have chosen the other way.

I feels rage and injustice when streamer on twitch gets huge donations for several hours and it's "normal". But when developer spending hundreds(thousands) of hours on developing sc2maps and puts small label about donations players criticized him at reviews. This is really stupid and does not make any chance. Even more stupidely when streamers gets more money from playing your maps(games) then you, LOL. I don't call for paid maps, but for promoting devs and donation widgets in game, may be some system inside the game such as https://www.patreon.com/ when you can make goals and how much time and money you need to implement feature in your map. There are tons of ways to make donation system, but Blizzard does not care...

Easy, it's called software development. Might as well ask Microsoft why there is still bugs in Windows, it's only 15 years old. And no, rollbacks are not easier.

Funny to see such posts, every time when i am raging about Blizzard someone posts such this to protect them.

@KorvinGump: Go And no, they don't produce such crap regularly

I am here over 5 years and know every patch of Blizzard since 2010 and beta test of SC2 editor. And you know what? It's still beta. Back in 2010 every patch killed maps with new bugs/features and etc. Every year it becomes better, but to see such this in 2016 it's just insane, it's not 2010 when it's just was a release of the game.

@KorvinGump: Go if they truly didn't care about the arcade, where did they get the budget for rock the cabinet? For not caring, they spend an awful lot of money on it...

Are you kidding me? Rock the cabinet with 30k$ budget? Company which earns millions and millions $$$ on WOW and now on Hearthstone gives 30k$? It's the same as 1$(or may be even 1 cent) for me or for you. They does not care about arcade since 2010 and they don't care now.

Check Unreal Engine 4 grants https://www.unrealengine.com/unrealdevgrants, 5 mln $. THIS IS REAL grants, not just 30k$ per year which feels like dog sop. Just basic example when Epic games gives a grants to devs https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/epic-games-awards-150000-in-unreal-dev-grants

Personally, it's destroyed every map I've made in the past 2 years including my RtC entry. They went from popular to dead overnight and I'm getting constant emails to fix a problem which I had nothing to do with.

The last Blizzard post regarding this indicated that it will take them several weeks to a month to fix. So I thought I'd look into what causes some maps to be affected, but not others. So far I've found very little. Has anyone had any luck?

If seriously, how it's possible to create such broken patch? It's already over 5 years since release of SC2 and they still produce such crap regularly. It's easier to do a rollback. Ah, wait, Blizzard does not care about Arcade...
