played a few games, same maps as last season, weird... thats means my games doesnt count for this season¿
|
^ We have than 1000 maps but we only can play some maps. It's so sad when playing same maps all the time.
My opinion, every season should have 10 maps with 2 standard maps (FS, CB) and 8 maps which haven't used in the ladder.
Why they are afraid of new maps, even they have 3 veto?. Even although they have to play a map that they don't like it. Just press Ctrl Q Q immediately, it's so easy. Maps are for all, they are not for somebody.

finding good/balanced maps is harder than you think, we're already out of quality maps
That said, seeing Destination in the pool is kinda funny.. kors might have asked for it tho? Could have added Electric Circuit instead of Gladiator too.
OW is the best 2p ever made, it should be a staple imo. Blue Storm is another great/fun map, woulda been nice to see them add a fun map like Sparkle or Multiverse (Multiverse woulda been cool because it's a tourney map atm). At least we have Sylphid, best 3p map ever made imo.
the ideal map pool for me is something like Overwatch/Blue Storm/Sylphid/Gladiator/FS/CB/1 fun map

Do CB and FS have to be in there every season though? 1 standard map is ok but 2 is too much imo, at least give us different versions of them

Agreed. I love CB but I'm kinda done with FS personally, even though it's balanced.

I'd like R-Point, Luna, Hall of Valhalla, Azalea, Medusa, Sin Peaks of Baekdu, Longinus, or even Gaia to make a comeback.

are u like 90 years old or smth¿
i like the fact that they added, HBR, Sylphid and Whiteout... Gladiator is meh, destination is crap unless ure terran user, HBR is also meh...
they coulds use maps like Empire of the sun, Gods Garden, Multiverse, Sniper Ridge, Polaris Rhapsody, Neo Jade, La Mancha and Fantasy, instead of CB / FS.
|
They got rid of setting turn rate too? Mine's set on whatever I had it on before the patch with no ability to change it anymore. (The slider is gone)

I have a problem with the release of a new patch.
My CPU is loaded to 100%, and all that I see in Task Manager, it's a bunch "Blizzard Browser" applications.
In the game itself, I see only this: + Show Spoiler +
Has anyone had a similar problem, or does anyone know how to solve it?
|
I am also sad that Overwatch is out.

same problem ''blizzard browser.exe'' littery 10 TIMES wtf is this sh*T?

soooo glad that Whiteout is in. Great choice for sure. Destination also pretty cool.
Neo Sylphid/CB/FS/Gladiator... again..? yawn..
all in all 5/10 map pool.
And a pretty "nothing" patch, too.
|
We really have many good maps from 2007-2012 years and even some really good ones from later years, too..
idk why are they still sticking to Gladiator for example.. not even talking about FS/CB..
damn shame..

I think the Korean scene have no problems with repetitive games because sport is repetitiveness if you didn't know guys.
Manage to develop the joy of improvement or this game is probably not for you.
P.s. you can still make 1v1 custom lobbies with whatever map you like.

This is insane.
Edit: Oh and this is when using "shutdown blizzard app on game launch".
Game itself on launch is 550MB, rest up to 1300MB is Browser :o (dont mind cpu load. Im using 2core cpu)
My guess is this isnt actually "Browser" but fallback in case of game.exe crash. Why its split into this many pieces i guess is because resources gets loaded as time goes which is why it fills new "Browser" spots as needed. It could just as well been a ghost of game.exe with 600MB+ allocated.

Let's not pretend that the overwhelming majority of the amateur playerbase is supposed to play and enjoy Starcraft the same way progamers do.
