Hey looking good, seems to have fixed most of the bugs with games ending prematurely in 1v1 :D.

Looks like the tug of war stuff isn't totally accurate. It's showing the apm of two players as 300 vs 400 and they are both lower league......

VOD from 9/11 on this stream shows the bug -> http://www.twitch.tv/butterygreg

Alternity: Thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look at the APM issue.

NA, EU, and SEA should now be up to date.

This map is so incredibly awesome, downright roflstomps the 1v1 Obs Maps.

Too bad the map popularity system sucks so much

Would have never found this map if it was not for reddit. Maybe you should consider putting popular search terms like "KotH" or "Obs" in the map names.

Just a headsup, keep up the awesome work.

€dit: played for a few hours today and grinded channels for new people to play and make it popular. There's one thing popping up again and again: For most people playing for the first time it's very confusing how to chose race (after they already picked in pre-game lobby) and that they have to pick an avatar to play.
I would maybe take race selection above avatar selection and make it like really big race icons or sth.
1v1 KotH Obs Maps are super simple in that regard, just an "i want to play" checkbox and a race dropdown big and bold in the middle of the screen.

Also the larva bug is still alive, on Peepmode Shakuras (EU) at least. Beach and Shattered seemed to be fine on EU.

Just found this on Reddit too. This is definitely NOT getting the attention it deserves. It blows 1v1 obs out of the water in my eyes. A way better substitute

PeterPwn: Thanks for the feedback and sorry about that pesky larva bug....just fixed it. Also, good suggestion about race selection. The lobby race selection is just for selecting the Game UI style and the race dropdown inside is for actual match race. After you select it the first time, it is saved in your Bank so next time you play it will remain consistent. When you join the game for the first few times, text appears onscreen that says "Choose your race" and points to the dropdown. Also, the rollovers on Teams buttons mentions this too...I thought that would be sufficient but let me look into making this a bit more obvious.

StarDustNA: Darn, I thought I fixed that bug...please send me the replay file so I can troubleshoot.

If anyone finds bugs, please send description of bug and copy of the Replay file to peepmode at gmail

Well i think the UI is not that bad, it's just that 15 seconds are way too short for firsties to figure it out.
Maybe a 60 second warmup after load screen that host can "-skip" would do the trick.
One question that also often occured was "how do i go obs" where the 15 second were also very frustrating for most of them.

Not trying to be a smartass here, just collecting the raw complaints from peepmode beginners. Hope you don't get me wrong on that end. Just quite a fan of your awesome map that needs the spot it deserves in that shitty custom map system.

PeterPwn: Don't worry - I value thoughtful feedback. I agree about the 15 seconds being fast for first-timers. Ultimately I think noobs will figure it out after the first match, but first impressions are important. I like your suggestion..I'll look into that for next major update.

Thanks and keep the feedback coming!

EDIT: I added [Obs KoTH 1v1] to end of map names for easier searching on battle.net

the rocks on crevasse let units through a bit, and the nats have no gas instead of 1. this is on NA for reference.

Bug fix published. Several errors (including premature draws) were occurring in games that hosted many players. These errors should no longer occur.

Patch 1.4 has introduced some Trigger Errors when interacting with certain dialog items. I plan on addressing this in the next couple of days.

The last couple of nights a few of us have been trying out peepmode and there is a really bad bug where everyone has to play random...which sucks. I love the map, I love the auto cam but that type of bug keeps us playing iCJug. :\

Oh and it was Tal'Darim and Antiga that we encountered the bug on.

TheAldo: Hmm, that's a new one. Please send replay file(s) to peepmode@gmail.com.

I'm reducing the map pool to just Shattered Temple until I work out the Patch 1.4 issues.

Were the peepmode maps removed from battle.net?
