I think they were worried that the beta gets less hype and less participation. if anybody can play it as a custom map it doesn't make too much sense to make beta key contests and marketing stuff like that. It obviously sucks but i think it's still a reasonable request from blizzard. I am looking forward to your new other project/map XenoX101. | ||

As powerful as the editor is, what did you think was really needed? 2- It's similar for a reason, he's copied it number for number. Of course it's going to be completed faster than when Blizzard did it, because Xenox wasn't designing the new units and coming up with the numbers from scratch. Blizzard has done literally all of the hard work, analyzing the roles that races need filled, and coming up with units that fill those roles without excessive role-based overlap. I've seen lots of people bashing Blizzard for this, when it's a frankly idiotic complaint. You go design LotV then, if it's so easy. edit: I don't mean to degrade the work you've done at all, Xenox, just the opposite. The thing is, Blizzard has given the word to take it down, as is their absolute right, and people are brooding it more than is necessary, and hating where it isn't necessary. That is because people don't stop and think for a moment to see why they are doing that, but just see something that they don't like and start screaming "F**K YOU BLIZZARD!". | ||

How will blizzard go about removing it from their servers? Couldn't people still publish it under a different name, or publish it privately to play with friends? | ||

I'm still wondering what they're going to do when someone shares the map they made and hundreds of people are uploading it to play — bans? | ||

Plus the long cooldown made them more micro intensive, allowing you to position them between shots and forcing you to carefully plan and target each shot. I won't be surprised if by the end of the beta they're just another a-move laser spamming unit instead of the unique concept they started out as. Exactly, Blizzard is making the same mistake with the Tempest that they already made with the Void Ray. If they don't realize that this is reducing micro, then no matter how hard they try, Stargate units will always suck. | ||
