After several players reporting a fps decrease in this map, Blizzard decided to remove it from the pool till they fix it. It will be removed next week maintenance. April 24th for Americas region.
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/4496750749
We have become aware that the recently added Metropolis LE GSL tournament map is causing performance issues for some players. We’ve investigated the cause of these issues, and it has been determined that significant alteration of the map will be required to address them. As a fair and high quality competitive experience is very important to us, it will be necessary to remove the map from the ladder while these issues are resolved. The map is scheduled to be removed from the ladder during next week’s maintenance period. We will be cooperating with the map creator in an effort resolve the performance issues, and we hope to see Metropolis LE return to the ladder in a future season.
For those who still wish to play games on this map, it will continue to remain available via the custom game interface.
I am one of these players, but I had enough vetos to veto it Anyway, I am glad Blizzard will fix it for me and others for next season (hopefully).
|
Heard about the issue this morning, didn't think Blizz would pull it, but good stuff to get the map fixed!

I had this problem and hate to downvote the map because of it. Im glad they are getting around to fixing it :D
|
I can't believe it's going to be gone for the whole season? Don't see why it has to be gone for so long 
|
one of the few good maps in the pool; personally I never had any issues
|
da fuq mate that is some fucked up shit. you would think those faggots at blizzard would test it out before putting it in the map pool but I guess they just copy paste and add rocks
User was warned for this post

i bet tehy add rocks to cover up all the blank space
|
I had it vetoed so I didn't notice, but I'm glad Blizzard jumped on this problem right away for those who wanted it in their map pool

overreaction if I've ever seen one

Well that's good news. I don't think all of our computers are a match for this monstrosity. =P
|
I'm extremely disappointed. I really liked this map a lot.
|
I thought I read "Metalopolis" and was over the fricken moon
|
Well... I think you should delete your post theplagueman before you get banned for being an idiot : P that being said, I'm glad blizzard is taking the stance of adding things, but if they dont work saying "we fucked up" or "we're working on it" and then fixing it. Reminds me of Valve, really taking care of the consumer, like that ladder change a few days ago. This map bogged me down too.

What are the chances that rocks block off the third forcing people to expand to the gold?
|
this map is too long and all the bases are right next to each other, if you make a big map it should be spread like taldarim but redone, this map shouldnt come back
|
|
|
as a victim of the FPS lag and late game TvP on this map, i'm glad it has been taken out. hopefully the can fix the technical problems

tehyll probably throw metrolopis back in a week or two after modding it a bit

Wonder what will need to be changed to fix the issue

Personally, I haven't experienced any of these FPS drop issues, but I did just get a brand new rig a few months ago so I probably stand in the minority. Its a shame as I've really been enjoying the games I've played on this map.
The solution I propose to Blizzard is to give us 1 extra map veto, so the players suffering from these issues can remove it and those who are not can leave it in. I think the addition of all the new maps this season and leaving us with 3 vetos wasn't the best decision to begin with.

We do have Ohana and more maps (and better maps) than last season. Also, after this problem they probably won't blindly implement any other untested map.
|
Ahw! This sucks! It's really one of my favorite maps and I've never had problem with it!
Hope they fix it quick and bring it back soon!
And remove the rocks! TT
|
Why couldn't this happen to ohana instead TT
|
I bet you the issues came from the lack of rocks on the map.... :D
|
I can't wait for it to come back. Probably my favorite new map. I LOATHE ohana. Basically a reaper-free map. Really no way to get into the main without going through the natural.
Not good for us reaper rapers.
|
Awwww I hope they fix it soon I like Metropolis a lot
|
Never noticed the problem really, I actually haven't hit that map too much which is a shame. Hope they fix it fast.
|
Sounds good, I have it banned anyways.
|
Oh, wow. I'm not crazy. I only noticed lag on this map when streaming, which I found quite odd. Good to know there was actually a problem with it.

Me too.
I never experienced any problems on this mac even on my macintosh computer. But I did like the map and the doodads that made an otherwise somewhat dull map look very appealing. I hope there is a way to keep them and make the map playable. Does anyone know if it ever caused any problems in tournaments or if it was just the blizz version of the map?
|
Bah, I actually really enjoyed TvP on this map.

I'm glad they're fixing it! I hadn't had any difficulties, but I think a lot of people have it downvoted cause i've only played on this map like once
|
Hmmm. Never gave me any issues. I liked the map, but if Blizzard needs to work on it by all means work on it.
|
:/ I didn't have this problem at all, and I like the map. Oh well, next season.
|
to be honest I experienced more fps issues on ohana. kinda bummed to see metrop go, even if it's just for a bit.
|
Awwww, Metro was my favorite of the new maps Hopefully its back before the season ends
|
oh wow. no wonder why my computer dies when i play on metro ~_~
|
I didn't have any issues, and I play on the highest settings. Granted, I worker rushed all the games, but still...
|
oh thank god
I lost a game the other day, and it was due to this. I had like 50 fps but the map just died over and over again. It was a miserable experience
|
I hate this map anyway. I hope it never comes back
Good to see blizzard has a pulse though, every now and then their lack of action towards certain events makes me suspicious.

Dude they do infinitely more than any other gaming company.
|
It happens on the GSL version as well. Huk mentioned this a few times. I wonder why Metropolis has this issue...
|
Either on the Korean Weekly or one of the IPL's online tournaments (can't rembember) they use a Light Version. Maybe that's what it meant?
|
aw D;
haven't encountered this yet, so I've had a pretty good experience so far on it. Was my third favorite map in the pool after Daybreak and Cloud Kingdom
|
I don't understand why they put rocks on the islands instead of the creep tumor that was there. That was one of the best thought out features they had on this map (to me), but they got rid of it?
I like this map and hope it comes back soon. Great map aesthetically.
|
Hopefully they won't be able to resolve the issue so we never have to see the map on ladder again!
|
Well that's good, I went from like 80fps to 20fps on that map, so I had to veto it instead of metalopolis T_T
|
i havnt had a problem and i always have a flash video or media player playing something on my 2nd monitor.
great map, i'd love to see it back soon
|
Thanks blizz!! That map was unplayable for me... I was stuck playing metalopolis since I used the veto. I welcome this change. And btw, I'd be fine if it never came back, because I don't like it at all. Give us Atlantis Spaceship <3
|
I used to have this problem a lot on my old comp, and before it was announced they were putting it in, I would never ever play it due to this.

how could they possibly test it for all computers? O_O i still get like 150 FPS but someone who may only get 40 on a normal map if they get a 20-30 fps decrease they wont be able to play it. I am sure they did test it but it'd be impossible to check for all types of computers. You should be grateful they are acting so fast with it. No need to be an ignorant ass
|
good because every game I play on that map my fps was like 30-40 worse whereas my opponent was seemingly fine.
Every game went like 40+ minutes too which was painful.
|
I'll be sad to see it go, but if it was that bad for others, it probably should go.
|
just hope they won't add more rocks and golds for the alternation lol
|
Do the tournaments that people play on this map in experiance the FPS lag too? Or is it just the fact peoples computers are not good enough for it?
|
Does this explain why every game over 30 minutes (and it's Metropolis, of course the games last over 30 mins) looked like a ppt presentation?

While they're at it they should replace the rocks on the island with a creep tumor... Rocks on an island expansion whose idea was that must've been Browder. Am I supposed to warp in 10 zealots to break them down?

i think that creep tumor favors terran a lot, they can load scvs in a cc, scan & kill the tumor with the scvs. other races have to tech to drops/nydus (unless there is no room for the cc to land... not sure if there is)
|
tell people to stop playing starcraft on netbooks. I used to get frame rate issues on my old macbook all the time when playing on xel naga caverns.... i dont recall blizzard ever fixing that
|
Does this effect EU too? I never had any problems on the map...
|
I don't understand why they didn't use the Lite version that GSL has published in the first place. This fps issue has been known ever since Metropolis was released. Good job, Blizzard.
|
I'm rather curious, I think this issue might be related to ATI cards; though I still need to confirm that...

I noticed a frame rate drop a couple times -- from my usual ~60 to a still smooth 25 -- but I didn't realize there was a flaw with the map. I liked it for the most part, shame to see it go.

Metalopolis 2.0 now featuring more destructible rocks and gold expansions!

I think its because of a) they dont like it b) they think its imba for zerg cus after killing the tumor you can throw down hatch right away and other races cant do that

ya i remember huk talking about this on twitter. But i personally have not had any issues with the map.

Hopefully it comes back soon! Its a very cool map.

Apparently SCV's have good jetpacks because you don't need to be landed to unload/load SCV's.

Well this sucks. I don't recall hearing about this problem before (Blizzard tinkered with it and put in in their map pool)... Was this an issue before?

People need to get less shitty computers.

when i first read about performance issues i was thinking "what? i've never had such whimsical allegations happen to me!"
then i remembered that one game where i built over 200 zerglings, and my computer started to chug worse than it ever has before. usually it runs every game almost perfectly. and that was on metropolis. ok, makes sense now.

I just played a match on metropolis on the ladder, is it being removed in the future or is it supposed to be removed but there is a bug?
|
oh wow I did read the title wrong lol. I didn't know people were having trouble with that map.
|
yay! don't like that map anyways xD
atlantis spaceship is an awesome map, put it in pl0x?
(Maybe the prime people would even ask blizzard to just put atlantis in instead of metropolis!)
|
Misread Metalopolis and almost commit sudoku
|
Hmm, I have no trouble on that map, I'm sad it's going, it's a fun map
|
I never had this issue at all I really enjoyed that map too oh well I'm glad to see blizzard at least fixing it
|
I don't lag on that map, but i never win on it so I guess I don't mind about its removal :D

|
Thank god, there's several custom made maps that are causing significant frame losses for me, for example dropping frame rates from 70 to 30, making it impossible to play from midgame on.
|
If you have a top notch computer will have significant fps drops or do you have to run sc2 on an average computer to really feel the fps drops?
|

anyways, I didn't get the FPS drop but a lot of people sure did. Liked the map though.
Maybe they replace it with something like atlantis spaceship?:D
|
so we had polls for weeks to get this map into the pool, now they remove it for the whole season? no way fixing this should take more than one day, my god i cannot believe this
|
This is where i point out that no one i know of have had any lag issues with Metrolopolis at all. One of my team members even have 124 fps.
But i'm glad the map will be gone for the season. This map is horrible for zerg thanks to those retarded rocks(WHEN will blizzard begin to understand, that the ONLY race that is hurt by rocks is zerg?!)...

Hope they are fast this is one of my favorite maps now.
|
I hope it gets fixed promptly, I was really starting to love this map.
|
|
|
They should just make the background black from beginning, I think that's what causing the problem.
|
For some reason I lagged on this map when every other map was perfectly fine. I don't mind seeing it go for a while too much as pvp was always me vs a proxy 2 gate. PvZ and PvT was fun though
|
Never really had any performance problems on the map. Now I gotta go load up the map and check my FPS. My curiosity has peaked.
|
Oh thank god lol. I love metropolis (play it a lot in custom games), but the ladder version was ridiculously bad. I think it had something to do with the shaders/lighting bliz picked in their version. Had to unveto another map just so I could veto this one.
|
aww one of my favourite maps! I did see the fps decrease sometimes though it was wierd, please bring it back this season!!
|
When I see ppl writing here i wonder what type of computers you have... mine is more or less 4 years old, and I never had a single problem with fps lag on metropolis (for example that is not exactly true in 4v4 when battles happen, and even there is not lagging all the time).
So... you guys play a game with less than two years with computers from 10 years ago? O.o
Blizzard don't remove the map, do an option with a special veto, only for this map, for ppl that want to veto it (so they have 3 vetos + 1 just for metro) and leave the map on ladder! While at office you resolve the problem for everyone, don't remove the map for the rest of the season please!!!
|
|
|
This map costed me some important online / lan tournaments . thnk god blizzard is fixing it.
|
I haven't read through the whole topic yet, but is it possible to add one extra veto that would give you the option to veto only this map? So that people who don't have fps issues could still play on it for the rest of the season? It's a shame really.
Have no idea how hard it is to implement something like that and how worth it is for the since this is (I hope) only temporary but it might be worthy suggestion.
Edit: Just saw someone mention it like 2 posts above >.<
|
Oh well, was a good map, can't say i had problem on it but win ratios were around average so i won't miss it that much for 3-4 weeks, hopefully the put it back after 3-4 weeks tho... i don't want another "blizzard map", or maybe add CBTS ^^
Also, those anyone know how a map can be responsible for fps drop ? I didn't notice them, but i play with lowest graphs on a pretty good PC so maybe that's why.
|
Argh, was my favourite map. The island expos were kind of cool too imo. I really hope this comes back, and if not, I hope it's replaced by Atlantis Spaceship, another map I love.
This also means less map diversity, which I think is also good from a fun standpoint.

They took their sweet time. A broken man needs to be removed ASAP, and Metropolis was broken in that it lagged some players.
I would love to see a permanent replacement out this season, but I simply don't know if it's necessary considering the fact that Metropolis probably will be back in no too long, as soon as they fix the issues they're having.
|
As a protoss player, i hope they replace it with calm before the storm ^^
|
Never knew it was the map. I was already looking at a new PC and everything. Lost me 5 TvTs in a row on that map and might have cost me GM :< Forever rank1 masters. Only happened vT for me though.
Wait not true, did happen vZ/P as well, just not as often o.o

T.T I really looked forward to playing on it, and just when I had time again to play a bit they remove it like a day after...
Ah well lets hope it gets back, even though there are certainly other maps I'd prefer to see on ladder, but there are still a bunch of bad maps that need to be thrown out over metropolis.

Didn't have any issue on it when playing on low.
|
woot now i can downvote daybreak :D
|
Sad to see it go, even if it is just for this season or so. It's a really well designed macro map. Personally I didn't notice any problems while playing on it. My guess is that it's not a high priority thing for Blizzard, so they have maybe one employee (most likely a Blizzard map designer) on the case to contact the mapmaker and get it done eventually.

To answer your question, though, it would definitely be POSSIBLE, just not worth the time and effort. The simplest option is to just pull the map and reintroduce it after they push through the fixes.
Incidentally, does anyone know what exactly the issue was that caused these problems? I hope Blizzard lets us know so that future mapmakers can avoid recreating this scenario.
|
"'til they fix it", given that this is Blizzard, probably means "soon", in other words next season :/
|
Good for me... I didn't like the map much.
|
I hope they'll replace it with another map. Terrible map IMO.

They removed all the water from Ohana and now this? And all because some kids in Sibira still play with a 486er? Metropolis is one of the nicest looking maps in the pool and its a joke that they remove it.
If people have fps lag, the should just turn down the details, oh boy! seriously blizzard...

You dont know anything about this, so why even bother to post?

Shame that it will be gone the whole season

Wow lot of kids getting mad in this thread... Shame Metropolis though seems like a nice map to play on, out of the new maps I wish Daybreak could have had the problems tbh, oh well.

At first I thought it was metalopolis and was like :D
Now i'm like :/
Good map though hope it comes back soon!

Yeah the dumb kids in ''Sibira'' are whining again and are having your favourite map removed, also after the ladder merger your gaming experience got ''polluted'' with laggy russians and Eastern Europeans. GTFO please.
The map is incredibly beautiful, with all the little details, but they really tax lower end machines. Hopefully Blizz will fix it soon.
|
I had performance issues on Metropolis as well. I didn't realize at first that it was only on this map but I vetoed it immediately after I noticed. Besides that I can't really say that I am sad about Metropolis not being in the pool because from my perspective it is massively Zerg or Protoss favored in the current meta game. It's big and it's very easy to get up to a large number of bases expanding away from your opponent. Trying to match Zerg or Protoss late game without being aggressive is just a lost cause and being aggressive is too hard on a map like this. On the other hand a map like this is probably better for TvP than maps like Antiga where it's so hard to defend a fourth as Terran because it forces you to take fights in the middle of the map which isn't doable without having the better army composition because you will get run over by warp-in reinforcements.

Awww. I really Like Metropolis
|
I have no problem with Metropolis. And it was also one of my favorite maps...
|
Suprirsed they havnt done the same thing to Ohana, a lot of people have performance issues on this map too
|
What the?
I've tried this tons of times, and my FPS was as high as any other map on the ladder - people just got victim of the ''You have a bad PC'' syndrome.
|
|
|
FPS decrease on this map ? I've never noticed such thing, and my PC is not high end by any means. Too bad.. The map was one of my favorites.
|
finally, i dont know why they even added the map to the pool with those FPS problems
or are the people who played it in custom games using nasa computers?
i5 2500 @ 5ghz
560TI OCed
and i have huge fps issues on that map aswell, so they must be using nasa PC's

Part of blizzard's style of making games has always been making sure you can play it on pretty much everything. It's a characteristic that attributed heavily to the succes their games have had. Maps giving a part of the playerbase performance problems is something they should and will take seriously, regardless of the quality of hardware those users are using.

i havent had problems with it at all and im on a faily old laptop :s

Yes, because you not having problems applies to every other player in the world.... Seriously, why even post something like that..
|
Oh wow, it was a problem with the map? I thought my computer was just really laggy, lmfao. Everytime I played on it it would lag but I thought it was just my computer or my connection.
....now it all makes sense.
|
Ugh why does Blizzard have to ruin all things that are good? Just add another veto so that people that DID have performance issues don't have to play on it and people who DIDN'T still can. The ladder pool is massive anyway so we should have a fourth veto by that scenario alone.
|
I wonder where the issue resides from.

fog and light are the problem, some chips can easily process those, other chipsets really kill themself while trying unimportant how high end the card is.

Better than it ever was anyway.

strange. i didnt have any problems with this map and my computer really sucks(it's barely able to run sc2) but i think it's the best decision to take it out of the mappool until it works fine.
|
woot?! i havent noticed this at all lol ^^
|
Well I don't play that map so it doesnt matter to0 me
|
Good because I lost two games before I finally figured out it was the map!!
|
I have a pretty updated system and I got really bad framerate on Ohana. My friend's system is solid also and he gets it on Metropolis. It's not just limited to really low spec systems or laptops.

That map will need to be proven a little more to be good before the put it in the ladder pool. Plus with the blizzard standard of 8m2g with the way the map is laid out that could screw it up royally.
|
I have not noticed this, but I am glad they will remove it I have 0 wins on that map so far TT

|
Well I have no problems with it but I play on low everything lol, odd that they are removing it the whole season, wish it would just be gone for a week and then come back but w/e.
|
hope it will come back i like that map
|
I hope they put it back in fast because I really like that map :D
|
I knew it! I was having random FPS drops (usually around 90, drops to 30!).
I thought my computer was dying out on me now I realize I was on metropolis during those games. Yay.
|
Anyone figure out exactly what the problem was? I never had lag on this map, does it begin immediately or after a few minutes in game?
Using my limited map making knowledge, it could be something like... what was it called... leaking? It's only reason I can think of for a map lagging. But pay no heed to me, the last map I made was like three years ago with the WarCraft 3 map editor.
|
Wow. I'm actually proud of Blizzard on this one. They heard about an issue, and pulled it asaply. :D I have a great computer but my FPS would drop on this map. It confused the hell out of me the first two times I played on it on the ladder.

Of course it will take Blizzard a couple months to fix an issue in one map... Blah... And it was one of the best maps in the pool
|
Not going to lie, i would like another map to take its place maybe the runner up? that makes me sad that only 1 GSL map will be in the ladder pool.
|

|
thank god I wasted a veto because of fps issue there....now i can have 3 vetoes once again instead of 2
|
It will probably be back in a few weeks. How long did it take them to put back Shakura´s ¨Plateau?
Still, they should add another map in the meantime :D
E:Except that they said future seasons. Duh. Well, hopefully we get a good replacement

And here I was thinking it was my shitty laptop, might still have been.

map was awful with the performance problems and I think it's a bad map overall anyways. Many of the new maps have some small ugly design flaws.

I never had any issues but I guess it's good that Blizz is fixing it... but it was one of my favorite maps on the ladder. I just hope it comes back soon.
|
just shakuras.
with no high ground YAY
triple bunkers FTW,
unfortunately have to ban it
|
Good call. It's not fair to win those 200/200 engagements just because you had a better video card.
I had an excellent ZvP with a very nice player, where I thought I was sure to win until he did an amazing vortex and followed it up perfectly. He then started to lag out and couldn't seal the deal. I knew I didn't deserve to win the game, so I'm glad this is being looked at to keep the results fair.
I can only imagine what it's like to fight against a Terran under extreme lag conditions, with their excellent range attacks surviving through lag so well. Great call, Blizzard. (Please let us veto Metropolis for free?)
|
why cant you just get rid of metal overall considering how old it is
|
Metropolis, not Metalopolis.
Yeah I had really bad issues with that map, played one custom game on it and died horribly because I couldn't micro at all.
|
Good move if others had problems with it, hate not playing on equal terms.
|
I like that map, hope they get it fixed ASAP.
|
I notice the lag most when I tried to stream with a decent fps - was setting up dxtory to feed into xSplit, and used this map as my test. Gave up after I realised my stream was so poor only on this map.
|
Kinda sad about this - I was very sceptical about the map but having played it a couple of times I really liked it.
But it's definitly the right decision. You can't have a map in your pool that doesn't work for everyone. Simply an unfortunate situation I guess.
Goodbye Metropolis, hope to see you again asap
|
I'm 5-0 on this map, hope it comes back soon!
|
Not sad at all because my computer is awful. My fps was usually about 30 and like 7 in big fights. Thats why I had this map vetoed.
|
I am glad they are fixing it. Pretty cool that they responded to community feedback.

Kinda lame we all have to get punished because people's computers are bad. If it's fine for tourneys it's fine for ladder.
Veto it if you have a problem. Oh well! Life goes on.

I've never noticed any difference in my fps on this map managing a stable 100 fps consistently on this and all other maps.
Shame to see it go really and hope they will fix this ASAP to put it back into the pool.
|
Eh don't worry about it. It's in all our interests. If they found a performance bug that affects our games, it's better they solve it now. The map will be back ! 
|
can you remove metalopolis while your at it. terrible map
|
I actually like this map alot, but I got it so often this season it became hard to play on due to the frame issues. Hopefully this gets solved quickly and we can see it back in the map pool!
|
Good Night sweet prince.
Please return to us as so as possible. You will be missed. *single tear rolls down cheek*
|
I like this map but I also had an FPS drop here. Extremely noticable at the very start but it either becomes normal or I get used to it once the game starts picking up.
Hopefully they'll fix it and bring it back ASAP.

I had some big problems too, went down from my average 100 to 5 on some occasions, I thought my computer was screwing up and never bothered to check forums about it, kinda makes me sad though as I do adore this map and can't wait to see it making it's re-appearance, fps lag free.

As someone who plays on a completely terrible computer, I appreciate the change, though I hope to see the map in a playable (for me) version come back soon.
I had similar issues with XNC when it was in the map pool for ages, but I'm glad they're jumping on this one quickly.

They should put Dual Sight in it's place, at least until Metropolis is fixed, so we can have those 2 GSL maps. Honestly, they should add Atlantis Spaceship, Dual Sight, AND Metropolis, and axe Metalopolis, since Metropolis seems like an adequate and more balanced replacement. Ohana is a very good replacement for Xelnaga Caverns, and if they insist on having an open main open natural type map like Tal Darim Altar, they should at least make it refreshing and axe TDA and put Belshir Beach in.
What i'd really LOVE to see them do is either keep the map pool more in line with GSL's, and if not, add Atlantis Spaceship and Dual Sight, and once Metropolis is fixed, get rid of Metalopolis, as it's been around forever and everyone complains about it. Atlantis Spaceship, Metropolis, Dual Sight, Daybreak, Ohana, Entombed Valley, and Antiga, oooooh *nerdgasm* that's pretty much the entire current GSL map pool. I wouldn't mind if they axed Korhal Compound to make room for Dual Sight and axed Tal Darim to make room for Atlantis Spaceship, but I think Shakuras Plateau is a very good map, so I hope they keep that around. Oh well, just my pipe dreams.

I got a ladder game on metropolis today...?

misleading thread title.. should be changed to metropolis to be removed ..

to bad its actually a cool map
|
Blizzard feel free to leave it out >__>

didnt notice the fps drop but i reckon they should still replace it with another map (third most voted map?)

I love Metropolis! I have a 100% win record on that map (as Protoss). I don't have any fps drops either.
I really hope they don't take it out for too long.

OK, why not fix it? It is definitely because of those stupid rocks they added on the islands. They remove cool map, but still leave OLD OLD maps in the map pool. I guess season is over for me.

When will it finally be removed on EU, too?
God I vetoed that map.
PvP leads to Phenix 1 or 2 Base all-in´s which are inconceivable intricate to hold.
PvT is ALWAYS 3-4 tank marine 1 medivac or raven or banshe 1 or 2 base all-in.
And PvZ is broken for Toss. I feel sad for the Zergs. I can easily do forcefield gate pushes and due to FF they lose everything.
Besides that I can also go for a air build into colossi mothership archon. Then one push, a toilet and its over.
Its so difficult for Zerg, even to perform a good 200/200 roach a move at minute 12.
Its a really bad map, I hope it will be removed so I can veto taldarim aswell.

I haven't actually encountered this problem before, which is quite surprising considering I have to run starcraft with graphics on low for my computer to cope. Oh well, I'm not exactly complaining, and I'm glad blizzard is fixing the problem for everyone else.

I hate such "island maps" so i had to veto it anyway. Would like to see the map without island then i would love it.

We have become aware that the recently added Metropolis LE GSL tournament map is causing performance issues for some players. We’ve investigated the cause of these issues, and it has been determined that significant alteration of the map will be required to address them. As a fair and high quality competitive experience is very important to us, it will be necessary to remove the map from the ladder while these issues are resolved. The map is scheduled to be removed from the ladder during next week’s maintenance period. We will be cooperating with the map creator in an effort resolve the performance issues, and we hope to see Metropolis LE return to the ladder in a future season.
For those who still wish to play games on this map, it will continue to remain available via the custom game interface.
Nooooo!!! That map was my sure way to promotion. Bad whiny nerds who have bad computers with fps problems. Bad nerds! shoooo... leave Metropolis alone.
j/k
I thought they'd only remove it for a week or so. The fact that they have to remove it for such a long time is quite bad. It will also make Blizzard think twice now about including community maps. They might have to undergo an extensive testing period now for quality insurance and enough time to add a sufficient amount of destructible debris and rocks.
Edit: highlighting with red and big instead of just b. It's just easier on the eyes. : ) I care about your reading experience.

If you had seen a game v-synched on a good monitor at a constant 85 FPS, I doubt you'd say that. The human eye can typically see a little flicker/irregularities up to around 72 Hz. Depends on the person, though.

While they are fixing the obscene amount of doodads, they should also put that creep tumor back on that Island so we don't have retarded games like that recent Parting v Heart 0 supply victory.

i was liking this map

Kind of weird really, I played a few games on it and had no FPS drops, my computer is ok, but chugging along since I need to reformat. Hope they find what causes it, doesn't seem like a bad map, even though I'm something like 1-3 on it so far, and it's good to have fresh maps

Really sad that they where unable to implement the GSL version of this map in the map pool. I loved playing on this map but I would rather have it taken away for a while so that they can resolve the issues that have been plaguing it.

never had such a problem on this map , think this is the best map in the current map pool

Apparently it's back in the map pool now? I just played a game on it (Not too happy actually. I hate this map... it's all tiny ramps and chokes, but that's not important I guess).

But I fear what would happen if Rocks were indeed added.

Interesting, i dipped in frame rate a bit on this map before it was in the pool. the first thing i thought when they added it to the ladder pool was that they must have changed something to make it less laggy. guess not!

Well, i hope this doesn't mean they'll pull it out forever, it's one of my favourite maps (didn't have those nasty fps drops either).

ahhhh, nice, had some fps problems on that map too ! Hopefully it gets replaced by another nice macro map !

At least it was temporary. Before I clicked the thread I thought: "WTF of ALL the maps they can remove".
Didn't have any FPS issues but if it's nice to know how sensitive they are to complaints.

I don't get it though,  What do you think is so wrong with the map? its even sided for all races, third are easily reachable, unless a zerg double FEs off no Gas, then lungs have a hard time breaking rocks, but, What do you all think is so wrong about it? coz i personally thought it was a legit map...

Hmm i hope they throw this map back in after modding it

I haven't played 1v1 much this season, but I was doing the day[9] planetary fortress rush funday against a P, that was fun. Didn't have any issues. I hope they fix it and bring it back quickly, I love island maps, even as a zerg
|
It has not been removed, yet.
The map is scheduled to be removed from the ladder during next week’s maintenance period.
Notice the keyword, during next week's maintenance period. Which, well it's this week now, is Tuesday->Thursday depending on region.

These links to What distract me someWhat
I'm glad Metropolis is getting fixed since I like the map, the fps drops not so much.
Hopefully Playhem follows suit and stops making me play this map with 15 fps, seeing as I'm zerg and I like to make zerglings.
Also, read the OP. The map causes FPS drops, there's no balance complaints about it at all.

wow, I had a performance issue on this map but never thought it was the map, I turned all my graphic settings down in game and have been running them way low since, it's good to know it wasn't my computer
|
I heard the bad news I cried myself to sleep knowing Metropolis might never be comin back. QQ
|
I hope it will come back as soon as possible. Its a great map imo.
|
its such a good map but my frame keeps dropping when i start the game T_T it gets really laggy and i hated it... i hope it get fixed and returns back to ladder T_T
|
No lag here. Sad to see it go.

I am so glad my prayers were heard, I am still having nightmares about destructible rocks.
Joking aside I kind of enjoyed the map and other than terran floating CC's to the islands I thought it was pretty good for zerg. I hope they fix the fps issue and add it back to the pool.
|
Same for me, no lag at all, and seems like a good map to me :/
|
is this a joke? i got metropolis like 4 times today on ladder.
|
It is back in the map pool. Now it is enhanced version of the map, so people won't have fps drops anymore.
|
Anybody knows what caused the FPS-drops?
I dont have ANY idea about maps and stuff, but it surprises me, that a simple map can cause FPS-drops ...
|
|
|
So people are still experiencing FPS drop right ?
|
I would always get FPS drop on bel-shir beach, good thing that never made it to the ladder.
|
Yeah, for some reason my fps tanked on Metropolis. I mean, my computer isn't stellar, but it ran all other maps just fine. Glad they're looking into it.
|
I don't really like this map since its hard to defend a third as a zerg because of the rocks, so :D
|
I read it as "Metalopolis removed from ladder" and celebrated at first.
|
That's my best TvP map. Sadface.
|
I believe that its back now with some work done to the layering of doodads and other unecessary things.
I just upgraded my GPU to a sapphire HD6870 and I run it on ultra now with no problems. I didnt have any problems before either but I was only running medium then with my old GT320. I have had an i7-860 the entire time so my point is that I think this is a CPU issue and not a GPU issue. Maybe you guys who have FPS drops should start by looking there?

I know this is a necro of a thread... But seriously, when is this map coming back to the ladder?

I was wondering the same thing. They're really taking their sweet time fixing that FPS issue...-___-. One of the few maps with consistently epic games.
Meanwhile, shakuras plateau is goin strong in dat ladder pool

theres not only epic games on metropolis.. just because games often reach 40 min 5 base vs 5 base it doesnt mean the games are epic
i think its pretty zerg-favored as well.. atleast against terran
