I still think games should be bo3 except for bo5 finals. bo7 is just too much for me. Yeah I agree. You'll notice that the weekend tournaments are only bo3/bo5 because bo7 is a little too much. I just didn't wanna remake the tournaments that were already made with bo7s because some users had already registered and I didn't wanna kick them out =P All future tournaments will only be up to bo5 though =) | ||

I just signed up for playhem, and I was having probably the same issue as Bird and Nuni.. So here's what happened: When trying to sign up for a new account using facebook, when the part came to enter my nickname there was the textfield with the greyed text "Nickname" but when I clicked in it and wrote my nickname, it would be in grey as well, thus the site doesn't recognize that something changed and the sign up button doesn't get activated.. The same thing happened when trying to sign up without facebook.. It ended up working on the main page (next to the big picutre of the marine).. But if you go to the "Prizes" section, above the prizes on the right it says "Don't have an account? Sign Up" .. there it's pretty messed up in the following way: - When trying to sign up with facebook : Greyed out "Nickname" doesn't dissappear when clicking the field and I can write (in grey text) whatever but the Sign Up button doesn't get activated. - When trying to sign up without facebook : Greyed out "Nickname" and "Password" doesn't dissappear when clicking the field. And in the middle field where it probably should say "E-Mail" in grey, it doesn't say anything it's just blank. And the drop down boxes for the date of birth are not functioning either. And of course the Sign Up button not activating because of just being able to type grey text instead of black. I would suggest copying the code you used for the front page sign up to that location as well  Hope this helps. Best regards, Octoshape | ||

It seems several people are having some issues signing up right now and we're doing everything we can to get that fixed immediately. We should have that taken care of by tomorrow and I apologize for the headache that must have caused you. | ||

Best regards, Octoshape Octoshape, that's an amazing feedback man and would be very helpful. Thank you very much! We're working on the fix. Most of the Starcraft II functionality are in beta right now, we're adding new things pretty quickly too. Feedback from you guys is very crucial at this stage to make a quantum leap for the service. Sorry for the bumps along the road. We're doing our best to make a great service for the Starcraft II community and that's the only way to achieve that. Please let us know of any ideas/suggestions/bugs or anything else that you have in mind. | ||

(Of course, these are simply suggestions, I'm not implying that those are bugs) - Upon selecting a challenge from the bar at the bottom of the page, it would be useful if your cursor would jump to the chat window automatically. - All challenges in the bar at the bottom of the page disappear when you select "Tournaments" on the top of the page and reappear if you select any of the other 3. - The orange bar on the top is a bit strange: The button "Manage Games" you can toggle on and off, but the others you cannot, when you toggle it "on" the Manage Games section shows up on top of whatever you're looking at, except when you're in the "Help & Support" section. When you're in the help and support section you can still toggle the manage games button and it turns dark, but nothing happens. (this could be intended this way, I was just pointing it out in case it's not). Typos: (Typos are underlined) - Welcome to the Live Support. Live usually means that your request will be processed within a minutes. (In the Help & Support section; should probably say "within minutes" or "within a minute") - There are few easy ways of how to invite your buddies (I guess this should probably say "there are a few" but not sure  )That's about all I found looking through it quickly.. I'm not a native speaker, so sorry if some of those things are correct Best regards, Octoshape Edit: Own typos :D haha Edit 2: It would be reeeeally good if on a player profile you have a button "Challenge him". That would be very useful, and there is no way to close a player's profile to get back to the "Head to Head" section. The only way ( at least that I can see ) is to go to "Tournaments" and then back to "Head to Head". Edit 3: On a player's profile: The battle history can get quite long if players play alot, and there's no way to like minimize it or like show only 10 at a time and be able to scroll through, so if you wanna get to the bottom of the page to see that player's friends you have to scroll quite a while. (For example: http://playhem.com/users/2962) | ||

But atleast, this is very encouraging to lower league players to play. Maybe giving money to the top 4 in the master-grandmasters or something larger than just 3 places, since it is really hard to advance far in a higher level tournament compared to bronze-gold. | ||

On July 09 2011 03:41 chaopow wrote: I'm actually a little surprised that there is that much money going to the lower divisions. The bronze-gold is a third or a fifth of the master-grandmaster prize money, which is really quite rare. Usually the prize would be something like lessons, since it does not take much to win a bronze-gold tournament, no offense. But atleast, this is very encouraging to lower league players to play. Maybe giving money to the top 4 in the master-grandmasters or something larger than just 3 places, since it is really hard to advance far in a higher level tournament compared to bronze-gold. Well I think it's pretty relative to your own skill level. Like, it isn't fair to say that it's harder to get through a tournament of masters and grandmasters than it is bronze-gold because it's relative to your own skill level, if you're only silver you should have just as hard of a time as a master does getting through the higher tournament. I think having these tournaments really is fun for lower league players though; most tournaments are either restricted to higher leagues, not winnable for lower players, or have extremely low prize pools for lower level players. And I think our prizing structure does encourage players to get better and compete for higher prizes as they improve =D | ||

Hey joeendzel, that icon is just your "Most Played Race", you can play any race you want in the tournaments though. You should however, choose one race for the entirety of the tournament. | ||

I start out trying to register an account on Playhem regularly, without Facebook. It says my email and username was invalid/taken. I then use the "I forgot my password" feature and type in my email, to find out my email was free. So this is contradictory. Lastly, I try the last option, which is facebook signup and any username i put is invalid. | ||

do you think you could post the bp tournaments slightly earlier (like the start of the day :D?) also, why are weekend tournaments slightly earlier than normal D: | ||

Hey birdkicker, thank you very much for being patient and taking the time to post that video, it really does help us smooth out any bugs such as the one you're having a problem with right now. I'm definitely going to have someone take a look at this as soon as possible but I was under the impression that it was already fixed. I just did a little test and made a new account (using the regular account signup without facebook option from the homepage) and it worked for me. I put in my details and created the account and I immediately received a verification email from Playhem. Upon clicking that, my account was fully functional and ready to go. I guess it's possible that your account got stuck or something in the process of the signup issue(s) being fixed, I'm not sure. Until our dev team can take another look at that and make sure it's all working properly, can you try creating an account with a different email address the way I described just making one now? Thanks!

Well I'm always open to running bonus point tournaments (as long as I'm awake =P) if we have enough players for them =) The weekend tournaments are hosted at a bit different times because those events are usually going to be casted/streamed live so we have to host them around the schedule of our caster =D | ||
