as for the beta well this is just how blizzard works. No use getting worked up about it. The best advice I can give is to just play some more WoL or whatever game and dont check for new info on hots beta every hour it'll make you rage in the end

Directly from the HOTS Custom thread of Xenox.

Hey everyone, got a bit of sad news about the mod. Blizzard emailed me today about some concerns they have of the mod becoming too similar to the Closed Beta, the potential for confusion and conflict between the custom and beta versions of Heart of the Swarm, and how in being so similar my map technically will allow people to bypass the Closed aspect of the Beta. As such, the maps will be taken down from all servers as of Monday, 3rd of September 2012. I say this now so that people can make the most of the limited time left on the maps before it goes down.

So I guess this will be it for the mod, I will say though that it's been a good run, and much of where the mod is today is thanks to all the feedback you guys were able to provide. I hope that everyone made the most of the opportunity they had, and looks forward to doing the same thing in the real Heart of the Swarm some time in the near future. I am glad that I was able to work on such a project and provide people this great opportunity to experience Heart of the Swarm.

As far as my map-making ventures are concerned. I have an entirely unrelated project called Micro Match that I still need to finish, which hopefully will be out sometime in the not too distant future, but no deadlines yet.

So thanks again for all your support, and I hope you make the most of these last moments before the maps go down.


Seems like we are getting close.

So next week we can expect the beta? I don't see another reason to close that custom map so early...

TLDR: "We want people to be hyped about the beta, and being able to play the changes in a custom map ruins that."

sad for xenox did a good job there. But it was clear that it would be taken down and i understand Blizzard, I mean soooooo many thought reapers had range 7 just through a simple typo.
Another reason is, you don't need to buy HotS as everything can be remade with WoL, I don't mind this sort of control being given such an supreme editor tool.

As they have released the D3/WoW patches in consecutive weeks, I have hope for a HOTS beta start next Tuesday/Wednesday :D
I should warn you, getting what you want and being happy are two quite different things.

Oh wow that's almost a compliment for the guy who made the map. It literally was too close to being like the real game. That's insane if you think about it! Hopefully that means beta is soon though.

If beta is going to start next week this is awesome. simply cannot wait! but would suck if the mod is cut and beta is still weeks away.

I really don't like this, as if people won't prefer the actual beta over a custom map. (and I kind of feel like after being involved in the community for years, many of us are entitled to at least play a custom map that looks like the beta) Are they worried dumb reviewers will say negative things about Heart of the Swarm based on the custom map or something?
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

I think it really might be confusing for Blizzard if the whole community gives feedback for HotS, based on the closed beta and based on a beta mod somehow similar to beta but not exactly similar, then they'd have to sort all those feedbacks.
Taking feedbacks from one beta version of the game played by a few thousands of people is enough work...
Read to learn.

This move by Blizzard will just degrade people's first impressions of HOTS. When the beta launches everyone will be looking for customs and they'll find tens of versions with incorrect stats, wrong settings, bad maps and so on.
Everyone left over is a member of the OP race and you have to figure out which one of them is the least OP. - CosmicSpiral

Marauder is not a bad unit, its kinda a boring unit, but lately i've embraced him more

Well, you need units that are exciting and units that make match-ups work. The marine is the former and the marauder is the latter, but the existence of the marauder is one of the reasons you can make marines to begin with. As long as pure marauder strategies do not become prevalent there is nothing wrong with the design imo.


The marauder is totally functional and does a job. I don't see the reason people hate it, but yet have not problem with the marine. People claim the marauder is "boring", yet every unit in the game can't be some crazy, super fast, glass cannon that needs amazing micro to make good. Some units just need to stand there, shoot and back up when told.


Doesn't make any sense. We need boring to balance awesome? I prefer full awesome.
