I played thousands upon thousands of hours on wc3/tft custom maps, generally because of the great variety. There were tons of maps, not many of them were polished except for the big ones like footmen frenzy or dota, but there was always something new and interesting to try! Despite the more powerful editing tools in sc2, the active mappool has stagnated greatly, and I don't think it's any surprise this is due to the front-page system, where only top 20 (if that) games see play. Despite all their attempts, nothing was coming close to the tft system of having open rooms for promoting a diversity of custom maps. Nexus wars, squadron, all decent in their own right, but they aren't deep enough to played for so long, yet are the only games you can play without waiting hours in a lobby for. This patch is a godsend! I've already played a couple of games today that would have taken hours to fill up previously! The open lobby system is glorious! I was hoping they'd go back to the room system, where at least the lesser-known maps got some screen time, but this is the same with 1 additional advantage; massive maps like dota/squadron td won't take up half of the listings because they're consolidated into 1 listing. The only disadvantage I can see vs TFT is not being able to advertise different types of games. For example if you were hosting a footmen frenzy game and wanted to let everyone joining know it would be the all-random selection. Now just hoping some of my favourites get remakes..... 'Mercy TD' seems like a dodgy Wintermaul Wars. Hopefully someone finds the WMW Tournament Edition and bases it on that, had mad polish and balance. Also had a good game of line tower wars, fun just trying to remember what the best kind of maze is! | ||

Hopeless. Literally hopeless, in the sense that there is literally no more hope that this will ever be fixed. | ||

It looks bad, the table layout is different from all other tables in the game (e.g. custom games, arcade), the fonts are different, the font shadows are different, the window sizes are different. Compared with the rest of the UI it still sticks out like a sore thumb. Hopeless. Literally hopeless, in the sense that there is literally no more hope that this will ever be fixed. Somehow I am glad I don't really notice these things | ||

It is also due to how horribly conceived the editor is. After you open Galaxy for the first time to do some stuff, the first thing you want to do is throw your PC out of the window. You can do a lot indeed, probably almost anything, but some things are so convoluted/time-consuming for nothing that it's simply discouraging. | ||

because as a mere game enthusiast (not much knowledge about coding and technical stuff) I find it stupid. There must be a reason. I mean shouldn't there be a way to apply these UI changes to beta without enabling september 10 content? | ||

The UI is laggy, feels clunky with menu's, no xp level during loading screen, names are cut off etc. Some things are improved. But not able to see my old replays is really what makes me unhappy. | ||

There must be a reason. I mean shouldn't there be a way to apply these UI changes to beta without enabling september 10 content? The patch HAS to go to live, as it's reworking the client again like 2.0 did. It's adding/changing a bunch of features. The only question is if the patch should go to beta AS WELL, which would take extra work and beta is gonna be up for another month or so at absolute most And I see a lot of people in chat complaining about their rigs heating up. My laptop (brand new) was cold as ice during HoTS, but is actually getting a bit warm for this 3.0.... so... that's bad. Not neccesarily, it just means that your hardware is being utilized more than before. Hardware is designed to be ran at 100% and cooling systems are designed to keep it within operating temperatures while it's doing that (and sometimes in the case of laptops, keep the laptop at a comfortable temperature for touching) so if your system can't manage that, it's actually the fault of the hardware and not SC2. -why- it's utilizing hardware more is up for discussion, i can see the menu's loading GPU more because of changed/added stuff | ||
