- local lobbies (you can do that in custom games already) => helps singleplayer maps relying on player input. This is great basically already existing in bnet!
in Short: Give us War3 Single Player browse your maps!
Also lots of triggers that require work arounds - triggers for more direct making should be made.
Exactly.. and in Korea SC2 is already replacing BW entirely, it will live there, In EU there isn't a boom of pro players (some are even retiring) but there is definitely interest in watching these Korean matches.
Actually to correct myself - if I wanna drag a map into SC2Switch.exe (you know, since we don't have Single Player browsing of Maps\) and the Editor is not opened , it loads like before the patch but if you have the editor opened and then drag the map or run test - this long wait happens, it's from the editor and launching a map with it.
Thanks for the thread! I was gonna post about it too but then decided to Log on from the editor and stay in Bnet main menu an not exit, so that I can load fast...\
Ever since the patch, as if 'streaming data...' was not annoying enough, now there is 'Calculating data...' wth and why was that, now when I want to drag a game without opening the editor, I have to wait for this and then black screen and then the loading screen starts - takes around 1.5 min and my lap is with Intel core i7, 2.44 GHz...
So log in to your account from the editor, Hit Test, Wait annoyed, then DO NOT CLOSE bnet - when you quit your map after testing you go to Bnet main menu, don't close it, I have the habit to close and that's cause it always loaded fast the next times I dragged the map.
This is not a solution though, they need to fix it. And it would be great if we had like Single Player on war3, to always browse the Maps\ folder ingame...
As far as I remember Bnet 2.0 was designed by a team who worked with console games, instead of putting people who designed war3 bnet so no wonder it started that way.
Though I found funny how one guy at work who took a quick glance at me watching a WCS game and asked why the graphics were so cartoony (the map was that Gwangalli Beach) - I don't know... at some terrains (Zerus, Kaldir) you will see the graphics look like a movie but at some other places this cartoonishness is noticable. Still, I haven't seen a difference compared to Dota 2 or any new RTS game to have more realistic graphics, I think they did the best there - combining lesser specs with awesome graphics, if they made the graphics too cinematic, the technical requirements would raise so much that only ppl with best PCs would play them. Besides I've never seen anything better as graphics for an RTS, if someone knows some RTS with better graphics that don't look cartoony feel free to post it, I can't notice such.
Maybe it is because the new terrains give a lot more realism, Blizzard said they were improving them for HotS,. while the majority that remained from WoL has the more cartoony look.
Yes damn it, it's not like Avatar, it is still a game, fu Blizzard why you no make it like Avatar, I wanted to see 100% movie! Bad graphics, sucks Booo Blizzard
Seriously, I can understand complaining about the Arcade and some things in the Editor, I also think the Editor could use some imporvements and even simplifications, but complaining about the graphics is pure bullshit and since there are such who complain about everything, some mega big QQers, then yes that was one of them. Go to terrain forum see how 'Lion King' some look like cause I can honestly say some Kaldir and Zerus terrains looked to me like real photos...
I posted some time ago - I do not think SC2 will ever reach the fame of SCBW and War3.
I do not think that one person posting a thread even if he is MVP member of the forums matters but if you saw my comments at gosugamers, you would see I share some of these thoughts:
Quote:
So Blizzard killed Terran mech once again, previous times they did it:
- Hellion preigniters upgrade nerf during WoL, removal of Warhound during beta, now nerfing Hellbats after being nerfed also with cargo size in medivacs. And they want diverse strategies? Lawl, you know what I really hate about David Kim's sucking methods of nerf? That they kill quite dynamic TvT games that were with Warhounds or Hellbats or Hellions with Preigniters... If they continue in this direction and will go for Widow Mines, Medivac Afterburners nerf, what will be left? The same stale TvT games...
and I even posted previously the stats that games like Dota 2 and LoL obviously made things better - bnet, player base, so I know Blizzard didn't do it well - I also mentioned that BLIZZ DID A MISTAKE WITH SO LATE FEATURES and whoever decided to not have those - should have been FIRED from their job.
However, MLG is not the cherry of esports as of the past 6 months - Dreamhack, ASUS, WCS, these are.
Also if you read the very same thread you posted as opposed to QQing about graphics or other NON-EXISTENT problems somne of you should not even mention - many people said the game itself is fine, it's the policies of Blizzard that cause the faults..
You see my point to all? Complain about real issues not bullshitting with 'QQ Lion King graphics, QQ bad sounds'. Dota 2 is movie graphics??
Since the Tal'darim got corrupted by the hybrids and the Dark One. I suppose Dark Protoss (corrupted) is not to be confused with Dark Protoss (faction) such as DTs, DAs but for some reason they both use the same names. Afair the Tal'Darim in 'Phantoms of the void' are also darkened.
That's it! The snowy mountains terrain that I am talking about. Back in Warcraft III I was trying to make something like that and settle a base with buildings on such a place. It never looked that good, I was looking for something like that to do in StarCraft II, you totally made what I need but I would seek such terrain myself and start using it there. I am talking about your Mountain terrain and I love it, on such scenery I intend to make my main city. Your other pics showing quite realistic fog, snow invading the base with fallen roof, using pitch and roll, very realistic and you share the map! I will know what world to build my base on thx to you. +Star
At first it looked like some photo from a movie, well done!
Another lovely terrain, I love snow and ice. Firstly, great job on the valley, love the Ox-bow river and the needle trees, lovely. But something just isn't right. You can't just go from grass suddenly to snow, you have snowy cliffs right next to the green valley down there. There needs to be a transition from grass to some rocky part, to the higher parts of the mountain including where your units are to be in snow. Otherwise ice blocks right next to the valley does nto fit very well. Here, you can see my attachment below, not the best I can do but just talking about transition with rocky part, you could use Tyrador rubble for making rocky parts.
Check out how I start with grass below, rocky part near the peaks and snow above.
This is starcraft 1, it is not even starcraft 2, this is a cinematic, watch this for example:
Yes damn it, it's not like Avatar, it is still a game, fu Blizzard why you no make it like Avatar, I wanted to see 100% movie! Bad graphics, sucks Booo Blizzard
And you sir are a retard, I wanted to avoid saying it but you gave me no choice after a second pointless comparison you made... Reddit would fit you perfectly. Done with this pointless argue.

trolling on Reddit
You are sarcastic and yet you have no idea how correct you are, I think that's what you are doing here. Another reason to ignore what you say.
Then you are clearly arguing for the sake of arguing even though you know you are wrong and make a ridicluous comparison so as to serve your point. Great thinking! Seriously whoever complains about graphics being bad is ridiculous, unless he wants to tell me there are some brand new technology developed and used that makes the games look like a movie, then I will agree. I just browsed to see am I missing some movie graphics in latest RTS games that are also 3D, looks like I didn't find any.
I can understand there are problems in the Editor, in the Arcade but when ppl start complaining about non-existent problems such as graphics, that only some as low as Reddit-ers would complain about, it looks like typical T_T and should not be taken seriously.

That's the way Blizzard and sc2mapster! Instead of complaining put some long lists of what you want and push blizz to do them!

Very nice terrain and idea! The space station looks amazing and so realistic, like in a movie. I could recognize those Zurvan lightnings.
@Telthalion: Go
Still don't like the idea nm how good the terrain is, the lava and the snow do not fit : /
Came up with an idea (Tunguska and Yakutsk):
using pitch

Foliage is kind of small but isn't there a way to modify it or its model to do the same effect without having to dp 6k doodads.
