I do like the advantage of not having to deal with repeatedly joining games to find one that is open. It's too early to start broadly assuming your gaming populace wants to only play the current #1, 2, or even #5 most popular map. SC2 on the otherhand, is very new, with tons of beta custom games being worked on and released. Make sure to mount correctly, not all at once. Most of the gamers and community had moved on to other games. This is a few things I do when I can not find the map I wanted to play. But if your intent is to facilitate chatting, why put an arbitrary timer on that?īack to advantage #1 above, I feel that while it addresses the DOTA situation, this feature is a mistake currently because by the time DOTA became that prevalent, the game itself (warcraft 3) was very mature and not that many new maps were being made. There were whole summers I spent playing custom games on. But then you have the 30 secs or so of countdown (matchmaking for normal multiplayer is 3 secs)?!? Why? 30 seconds of no users able to do anything anyway except maybe chat a few lines. I have a sentimental attachment to wc3 map editing like nothing else. They can't leave short of force quitting the game.
However, the immediate start doesn't allow for users who accidentally join the game (maybe mis-click, maybe changed their mind, etc).

I can perhaps understand auto starting since they've disabled the ability for users to voluntarily become hosts and now any given host might not know how to run things. Stupid auto start countdown AND stupidly long. Most people looking for a new game to try won't bother clicking "show more" to see anything outside of the top X maps.Ĭ. New maps are in a catch-22 to get themselves more popular. I haven't tried making a party with a friend and joining a custom game.ī. No longer able to join a buddy's/clan's specific game. I can see what Blizzard seems to be trying to do but it has brought with it significant penalties:Ī. It just seems to queue you into an existing open slot or start a new game with you as host as needed.

No worries about attempting to connect to a game that is full or no longer valid due to the frequency of other users joining/starting. No longer have to keep refreshing the list of games to get valid, open games to join.ģ. No more trying to decipher asdf or ".59b cali pros"Ģ. So basically what Im understanding is that the maps are a bit harder to make in the SC2 editor, but most of all Blizzards implementation of custom maps. Custom games of the same map are listed once and you join the next available map.
Use the map in your project or share it with your friends. Fill in the legend and download as an image file.

Color code countries or states on the map. Considering that perhaps 90% of the custom games are Dota or Footman wars, their new interface in SC2 kinda makes sense:ġ. Make a map of the World, Europe or the United States in various chronologies.
#Warcraft 2 map editor not letting me play custom games Patch#
My only hope for now is i'm gonna try downloading Patch 1.30.4 Patch 1.30.I think they are attempting to address an issue I noticed with Warcraft 3 custom games, specifically the custom game browser was a super fast scrolling list of games with completely arbitrary names. I select my first map "GOOD&EVIL" and i get that empty screen.So I tried opening my second map "Good & Evil II" and it just crashes upon selecting it! XD Shiver me timbers!!! Arrrr. They won't load in the new map editor ether So like the title says and the pictures shows, I can no longer open or play my custom maps. Well, at least the ones I made don't I'm sure i'm not the only one suffering with the same issues, and I feel kinda bad making all these complaints as i'm sure Blizzard is scrambling to fix things.Right now I'm just trying to figure things out so I can continue playing and map making again
