I must have the some of the highest creativity in the world. (Watch the video inside the chat from the link Alex06 gave to understand)

@KingRadical: Go

Did you hear someone died while eating at that restaurant?

@Flinkelinks: Go This thread is dead although I would really like to see it reborn with a new artist. So I'm offering this icon in the hopes that some one will help these poor souls.

Bunker Wars: Choices

Eras Zombie Invasion

I've made two videos reviewing popular maps. I was wondering what I did well and what I can improve on. Please leave a comment below with your personal ideas. Thank you.

Quote from Eiviyn: Go

Here's a thought.

Sort the maps by pre-defined category (RTS, TD, DotA etc) and force the player to pick a category before he can search.

@Eiviyn: Go I have thought about the predefined category option. I believe it would work best if category was limited predefined things like...

• RTS
• TD
• DOTA
• TPS
• FPS
• Melee
• RPG
• Other
• Featured
  
  

My thoughts

The place where i disagree with you is with it being implemented into the search. People only search for maps they know about because its based on name only. I think categories is a great way to filter maps at the home page. Say you only like Tower Defense games well you should then be able to personalize your custom games home page to display only Tower Defense games. It would also remember your last category choice that way next time you play you only see Tower Defense games at the home instead of picking your settings again.

The last part of your post is just you complaining about stuff so... No Comment.

There are couple different designs that are good in my opinion. And its pretty hard to say whats the optimal one. I would almost lean to the later one just because Im not sure how the traffic in custom game system would divide....hard to say indeed.

@zenx1: Go Yeah I agree with you on that point but i think their current traffic is thrown off with the current system. Everybody wants something better and with something better i think the traffic would completely change.

As for my last image i made I'd say the bottom area should be a very flexible in what it can provide to the player. Based on personalized settings the bottom could be the following.

Examples:

• Bookmarked Maps
• Featured Maps
• Current Map Selected
• New Maps
• New Market Place Maps
• WC3 Maps

Okay i edited the image from my last post. Take a look and tell me what you think.



Links to the Images used to make mine:

Original Image 2

So from what i just heard you guys will like to see something similar to the image below.


Note: Link to original image:

@Lonami: Go

If the new interface looks like the image i posted above it will have more maps on the screen than the current one does. I think you have a point about fun or not it really should be called that. I doubt it will get renamed with the title update.

@Taintedwisp: Go

Well with what TheAlmaity is true then that would fix that problem to some degree.

Personally i think the entire user interface change will work wonderfully if the following happens.

What should be on the main page

• Fun or Not is the main page

Along with...

• Small market place
• Small Favorites
• Small Most Popular
  
  Edit:
  I added a picture that i edited to give the idea of what i'm looking for. Now I thats not a perfect set up but its more what i'm looking for.

Quote from TheAlmaity: Go

Well, one of the things mentioned at blizzcon is that if you open a lobby to public, it will be put in a qeue for the Fun or Not system. That will definitely help people get testers.

@TheAlmaity: Go Currently fun or not does that to some extent. While testing one of my maps fun or not decided to give me people in my lobby. It really did help out. My fears are the following.

• Not enough people will play fun or not
• Popularity System still the default menu

3 Points I gleamed

1. I can make maps my map cooler and easier
2. I can sell my map to hundreds of people
3. Still wont be able to find 10 people to play my maps

Popularity System Fix (Heart of the Swarm)

After surfing the web i found a rather interesting FAQ from blizzard about heart of the swarm. Now this may not be news to most of you but i was happy to find this out.

Quote: Blizzard

As far as Battle.net improvements, one primary focus will be on getting the StarCraft Marketplace up and running at some point around the launch of Heart of the Swarm. The maps and mods community in StarCraft II has published tens of thousands of custom maps using the StarCraft II editor. Our goal with the new Marketplace design will be in upgrading the custom map UI to better showcase the wide variety of great new maps and mods to players who are looking for fun new gaming experiences. We want players to be able to more easily find, rate, and sort through all the great custom maps that have been created.

Blizzard FAQ

I was wondering what you guys had heard about this or if you have more information on this. I read a couple topics here and there about some ideas but nothing confirmed.

Okay so basicly there's not no way to cast a light in medium or low?

I'm more concerned about medium because the people can't see to play.
@Eldrazor: Go its multiplayer

This did not fix my issue.
