The average SENer has higher standards than the average B.net pub. There's vastly different tastes. The other maps of whatever type you make may be better than the ones on B.net (the type which SEN most likely wouldn't play anyway), but don't necessarily appeal to the people here. Sometimes the show just doesn't fit the audience.

I'm not going to point any fingers at anyone or anything like that but the average SENer also can't make maps as good as our stardards have been set as. Actually only a few SENer's can make maps that are ABOVE our standards, face it we're lacking those really good map makers now-a-days. Or the really good ones are just lazy and don't bother to put much effort in their maps.

If you keep doing that instead of flaming people, you might get somewhere on SEN. *(Gives a Kudo Point for good attitude, tho it was delayed)*
Yeah b.net opinion on maps are of a lower grade of amazement because they arn't exposed to more maps of high grade caliber(they mostly play masses and crap adventure rpgs). Doesn't mean you lotr map sux, just could be alot better with some effort and refining.

Um I ran out of Location limit, unit limit, string limit and doodad limit, so there's not much I can do. Sorry if you were dissapointed, but me and my friends are enjoying the map as is.

You guys are all map makers, thus, you all think you're all that. When you guys can get a map pumped out, then come speak to me.
Here's some constructed critisism for you. Why do you say when we get a map pumped out to talk to you? You don't have to have a map made to critisize a map. That's like saying in order to critisize a game or movie, first you must make your own game or movie. It's a load of bull. Not everybody is going to like your maps, you're going to have to accept it.
Here's a little advice for your next map: For your LOTR map, you said that the first part of your map is moving in a row. Well, like most things it's all about first impressions. If you make a map you wan't to start it off with a boom, not the boring parts. The people of your map will play the first part and notice the winding terrain, which they will assume the entire map is like this. If you want a great map overall you MUST keep the audiance entertained for the begining. And a little more information, some people on Bnet say fastest possible map is 'the best map ever'. People on SeN are more likely to grade your map accurately because they know how map making works and such.
We don't think we're all that, you do.
Good luck with your upcomming maps, hopefully you will learn from your mistakes and make an amazing map in the future.

Wow... I'm speechless...
Thanks a lot, but there's some enemies of mine from B.net on here, so they're trying their best to ruin me. I appreciate your help though.
P.S.: I had to make most of the first part of lotr all rows because I wanted your hero to have enough Level Ups to be able to participate fully in the big battles. Hopefully one of you guys plays this map to the end...
Update: New version uploaded.

Dark all I'm going to say is stop bragging, each of these maps seems like they're unfinished and need their own time of work. Some of them even seem like a person who has never even seen an editor before could make in a day.
Btw: I've figured out why this topic has so many posts and is a hot topic! It's an arguing box!! ( not to mention you have 60% of the posts )
p.s. I'm not being mean, I've played a lot of these, and I'm just stating my opinion. And now, you can be speechless in peace. Goodbye (never posting here again)

DLK, i'm not an enemy of yours. You're actually pretty cool to talk with when i see you on Bnet. I'm just trying to give you some advice. I don't hate you, or are trying to ruin you.
EDIT: Hmm, lol after re-reading your post i'm not sure if you meant i was one of those enemies. But if it was directed towards me, than my response is the above

Your attitude provokes creating enemies, so don't complain that you have them. Whenever someone else has a thread, you always are extremely critical of their maps, and you have an extremely high opinion of yourself, which bothers some people. Personally, I don't have any enemies (I don't think ), since I atleast attempt to be somewhat humble, considerate, and forgiving. And even when you do disagree with someone else, having an intelligent argument about your beliefs allows you to still get along in the end. Recognize what you are making as maps to an 8 year old game.. it's nothing to brag about. Even without bragging, it can be fun to make the games and play them. You don't have to be the "best" to make fun, high quality maps people can enjoy. Don't go around saying you're the best and people won't be critizing you so much, allowing for your not having to defend yourself so much and not making so many enemies.
I never liked WWII maps, but lots of people do, so keep at it

Too bad you're leaving, since you've been around for a while now. I remember I used to be on your f-list. hahaha
