Staredit Network

I think a topic was made about this about a year ago.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, if it makes you feel any better.

The situation isn't going to change, though. People will always play their beloved LT until they realize it's a piece of crap and that it's imbalanced, and then luna, and then rush hour, and then people might start understanding how much Gaia rules, or R-Point, or something halfway decent by decent people unlike these one-map-wonders, like i_terran or whatever his name was who made luna...xD

Anyway, don't get me wrong, I'm not hostile, and I've been inactive because I stopped caring about SC, and therefore stopped caring about this website. These forums become a black hole of time and a waste of life, and even though I have nothing better to do, I'd rather not be on here. But, since I still admire the meleers here...Yenny and Val mainly, though there are still a few others I miss...pekkel XD but w/e...I'm back for a lil'.

I'm sad I missed the tourny. I figured it would be postponed about 2 months, but instead it was only 1....=(

Anyway, yeah, the maps, uhh, no one is gonna play them, you can make them, you can host them, people might join for fun, but anyone who joins is a total dipshiz at melee unless you make like a "1:1 _____" (insert luna here)

If you ever see me around, I'd be joining a game that says "1v1 double helix" or some random name like that (After checking the map it's actually hosted on and making sure it doesn't say "untitled scenario" or "killdazerglawl".

Most meleers on SEN are of sane mind and love trying new maps (ie, me)...and though I sometimes host different maps, sometimes i give up and play luna cuz everyone loves it and the game fills up in 6 seconds...

I can (and already have on other websites) make an entire topic as to the huge imbalances created by playing on "FA$TE$T PO$$IBLE MAP EVER", "ZC", "BGH", "WORLDZ SMALERT 8 PLYR MaP", and other garbage along those lines.

I agree with you completely.

Didn't read it all, but let me guess... You want people to start making and joining games with a wider variety of maps? Go to Asia server. They play the newer maps, they don't hack, and they're aren't super bad manner (or at least, you can't tell ). Don't abuse it, don't be a douche on that server.

Guide:

East Server: Hackers and BMs galore. This server just sucks. Stick to private games only with friends =/

West Server: Some gosu clans, a lot of good players use this server. No hackers, but a general mentality of "I can't believe I did that/lost that game!". Big egos, but okay manner. Best for private games still.

Europe Server: Dunno, I never play on it.

Asia Server: Amazing for pubbies. No lag, good manner (people will leave when they know they've lost ie: no mass expo/random pylons) and the newest pro maps. There's still a lot of LT, but it's not hard to find Tau Cross or Blitz.

GL HF East Server blows.

PS: I might have read your post if you hadn't chosen to make the text nearly the same color as the background.

You're my hero.

I have noticed obs maps are growing, but those are only on the UMS map lists. RoV seems to be the most popular to observe, and then there's Luna. Occasionally you'll see a random map that isn't one of the two.

Choose nicer colors for text.

Oh, chef, thats really funny to me actually. I never thought of the servers that way but it makes so much sense. I'd say Europe is pretty much like west. They bigger population of good players, but the maps still aren't varied as much as asia.

CaptainCrunch, its like the same 3 people making those maps, but yea I've noticed too. I ob every once in a while when I have time, or play depending on whether or not I want to look like a fool.

Play Crystallis, it will hurt your brain.

exobyte made his bi-monthly post!

Yeah, I hate the state of Battle.net melees (particularly on USEast). All the "LAIM3$t MpA EVAR!" crap makes me sick. I might actually try out the Asia server now that you say that. Hopefully I can get into some good games.

I'm going to Asia or USWest now, just to see if there are any good melee games up. About time I improve on my 50 minute carrier rush

Ha! My 49 minute Carrier Rush = winnar! I really need practice, too.

I don't intend to be mean but, if that's your skill level, don't expect to see much of the map

I usually don't see much of the map in melee, I busy myself too much with different UMS systems. But I thought it might be time to work on melee now that I know where to find good, balanced games other than LAN. I wouldn't be offended if someone posted "YOU SUCK NOOB" on here.

Its the only one with ladder now :/

Shows how much you know Doodle. WGTour never went live (after being publicly supported by Blizzard). Don't post if you don't know what you're talking about.

Ya, all doodle knows about that is what he read in the patch notes.

Europe is basically LT, Fastest and BGH, it's not better than any other realm unless you want to play old rigged madness and defense maps in UMS.

trick is you gotta go into good channels on servers

(templars of twilight on euro)
(op 3.33- on west)
(clan x17 on east)

dunno about asia

You can pretty much play any map, I myself am a fan of R-Point, but it has too much gas, no minonlies

LOL @ X17. You won't find a game there for hours. All you'll find is two dozen people making fun of eachother's moms and calling eachother losers. In anycase, this topic is about pubbies, Koltz, not private games.

I hate R-point and X-17.
