Due to various inconsistencies in WoL vs HotS mods (which cannot both be used concurrently), I believe that I'll need to create a different version of PeepMode for HotS. This means clearing out all player achievements and having a separate Peep Rating system just for HotS. I think this makes sense on several levels. If anyone disagrees, please share your thoughts. | ||

The map "PeepMode v0.4" currently posted in HotS is *not* up to date and I'm actually unable to remove it...hopefully this glitch will be corrected soon by Blizzard.

I would welcome a reset. A lot of the regular players are to the point where we have thousands of games played and its really hard to move your winrate. Also it would give you an opportunity to wipe all the edited data file players that have been popping up more and more as of late. | ||

EDIT: Apparently there are reports of some players hacking their bank files to gain rating/cash. This shouldn't be possible with Blizzard Bank Signatures. I'll look into the issue. | ||

This would be awesome. Edit:Also what's going on with the rankings. There are crappy defense games that are way harder to get a game together for that are ranked higher in terms of most played than peepmode. Did blizzard change how this works recently or something? | ||

It doesn't seem that battle.net reports actual hours played anymore, so unless two maps you're trying to compare are in the top 10, it's impossible to tell which is the most popular. Perhaps someone knows a way to get at this information? Since the "Arcade" mode was introduced in SC2, i haven't been able to play this game even once. I join the lobby, but there are no players. Isn't there a "map of the week" game anymore? it used to be a decently popular, like it would start in 1-5 minutes. | ||

Unfortunately when Arcade was released, PeepMode started getting a lot of negative reviews. I think a lot of non-hardcore players that weren't aware of the Arcade to begin with tried it and just didn't "get it". They say things like "all I could do was sit and watch"...which is the entire point of being an observer! So unfortunately it just dropped in rankings and therefore gameplay. I'm hoping that HotS release will bring a resurgence, but to be honest with the addition of new observer features in HotS, I'm not sure it will reach the top 10 again. There are features available in PeepMode that will *never* be available in SC2 proper due to technical limitations and balances that Blizzard need to make (such as auto cam, zooming out, betting, separate rating system, etc) but it will be up to the "average player" to decide if PeepMode belongs alongside Nexus Wars in the Arcade or whether it's more of a hardcore esports thing. | ||

I have it bookmarked and it still fills. It should be like on the 2nd or third page of popular maps too and you can bookmark it. This one still fills relatively fast. | ||

Please check it out if you get a chance and let me know of any bugs you find. Played a bunch of games last night (VOD here, PeepMode starts around 1h18m30s). The minimap terrain was still black for all of us, and we discovered (timestamp 2h25m45s) that the overlord speed upgrade, once researched, persisted to later games. | ||

Speaking of HotS, I currently cannot publish maps to the beta due to the infamous "region mismatch" bug and the editor crashes my VM ware win7 install, so unfortunately I won't be able to publish the fix for the minimap terrain bug until the game is actually released on March 12  | ||

However, logging into Hots itself, then logging in via the editor seemed to fix the issues. If that doesn't fix it however, you have to change regions in the editor settings. You can do this by going file>preferences, then under the Battle.net section there should be a drop down menu labeled Region. Select the AUTHENTICATION_BETA_REGION option. If that doesn't fix it, not sure what else will aside waiting for release. Hope this helps! | ||

montheScots: I can see removing Dual Sight, but Abyssal City has been voted up on the website. Not that many people actually vote, but I would like to leave it in for a bit longer. When HotS comes out in a couple weeks, the Map of the Day will be used for HotS maps. The WoL maps will remain playable individually as long as I have enough publish space. | ||
