I was really glad to see Cloud Kingdom and really enjoyed my games on it. Just wanted to say thank you for switching it up on NA, it's very hard to get people to play other maps besides Metal with PeepMode. Metal all day every day gets very boring.

Problem is, too many baddies complained about not being able to play on metalopolis 24/7 and the "popularity" of the map was dropping......

I've setup "1v1 Obs - Map of the Day" on NA which is currently set to PeepMode Antiga. I will start rotating the maps daily and will post a schedule at www.peepmode.com in a week or so....I'm in the process of moving but when I get settled I'll focus on a web campaign to get that map popular. I think this is the best solution given all the limitations and player preferences. I plan on allowing some form of web-based voting to set map rotation schedules.

Also: I'll be giving the logo, loading screens, and name panel a face lift due to contributions from some talented graphic designers

Awesome stuff, I'll see if I can figure out a fun way to promote it to help out.

Is there a way to ignore people in this map like when u hit f11 in ladder and can click their voice box?

When there are trolls in chat yelling about OP this and OP that constantly it makes me want to rip my eyes out (or quit the game) if I can't ignore them

I wish Blizzard exposed all those audio chat options to modders, but unfortunately they don't. Can't you click on the mute buttons in upper-right when someone is yapping?

Or do you mean text chat? You can turn off obs chat from Personal Options (Ctrl + F9).

Hey Icculus there's an issue where whispers and other types of chat are sent to All, I think its because of the workaround of the chat system.

I have an interesting idea. What if you limit the default player limit to 8 instead of 16? Less lag for most games. The games will rotate faster too so the maps should all go up in popularity.

XenoX101: Yeah, I can't pick up on whispers, but you can send another player a private message in-game by typing "@[PlayerNum] Hello"...for example "@1 Hello!". You can get player numbers by rolling over players in the Leaderboard or Name Panel, or by opening the Chat Log (F11). See Help (F12) > Chat for more info.

Emperor_Earth: This has been suggested but I'm hesitant since I've been in plenty of 14 player games that don't lag at all. I admit on average there is a lot of lag during first faceoff when one or two machines are slow...

Dont drop the player limit to 8! maybe 12 would be fine, but really the more the merrier considering afkers and droppers and lag outers.

Hey thanks for the great improvements to the map icculus!

every time i open the map i am impressed with how you have overhauled clunky parts of the interface and made it better

.

I would second that I would LOVE to have the two new maps in peepmode as I do use peepmode as a way to practice maps with friends.

You could also depreciate support for maybe your XNC map and another one since they are no longer in the map pool. So you could stop updating them if that increases your workload.

Thanks again for the awesome map! I'm at peepmode elo 658 and 200+ matches played :D.

Have you ever thought about finding a way to put multiple maps inside a peepmode and have people vote on which one they want to play? Or would that make the map too big?

EDIT: Sorry, missed page 12 where people talked about this.

Also, thanks for making a Cloud Kingdom one - really excited to do obs on that map. If you get a chance to add Korhal Compound as well that'd be sweet. I understand it probably takes lots of time, though!

Yes, ironic, because apparently you can't just, you know, NOT watch my stream, or even mute it.

If I were forcing my ramblings upon others there'd be some irony here.

Quite bizzare but frequently when I join the lobby for this map my entire internet crashes for about a minute :S

question, why is it not possible for players to vote for map after each round? or have 'random' option that randomises the map?

Because the "map" that you load will be too big/laggy to upload/play. Probably.
