Bad Maps more Popular, Good Maps Gone to Waste!

You forgot one:

5.) Tome Hunt - Just run around with your hero, whoever finds the most +50 agility tomes is the lucky winner.

silentlurkers(viruz on this site) an idiot hes in clan map which u need a decent map to join(or so i gather) and it really brings down my respect 4 that clan


im currently working on a melee map thats simple to play so maybe itll get hosted emote_sweat :////

I made the original to that. It was my first map so I made the mistake of not protecting it. Now there are like 20 versions all of them made horribly imbalanced by others. :(

Wow, I feel the exact same way.

hes also a credit theif and a liar u should see his profile(east) and his 1 thread here releasing a crap version of avalonxs/my hero arena says he asked makers permission....

its b/c of ppl like him that theres crap maul 999999999.99999999 extra tome lvl 9999999 heros(im not sure if mauls have heros dont play stupid maps like them lol)


hero arena was/is the first map i worked on and i didnt protect versions 3.6(really lousyh didnt no anything about mpqs)-3.7b(good) now u have crap arena

Guys, lets think rationally here. What's is you gonna do with the version you just stole/modified?

Ok, some RPs are very well done like
World of Destiny,
Lands of Fate,
(and few specific Wc3 non-xp versions of MRP).

You will see 15% of the ppl at rps that dont sound like RPGs as those turd ppl, and you will always gaurenteed see a member of Clan True Roleplayers it the game too. (my account name is Dark_Man(tR))

But if you want an intelligent game only good smart ppl will play, Put in an automated IQ test, and have them type in the letter answer. Then if they have 75%+ correct, put a sheep and a mortar team with 500000 damage together. If the sheep is still alive for 10 seconds, then the player will go into the real game. If they fail the test, they will be auto-boot form game.

1. Enfo's Team Survival is still in beta, so it's unbalanced.
2. I play as Warrior Mage (Storm) (now it's called Evoker) in beta06-08, and Trader in beta09.
3. I play Enfo's Team Survival beta09 every day.
4. You don't even bother to try the other heroes. Look at the replays. I rarely see people use Paladin in the games I play.

5. Try posting that Paladin is unbalanced at Enfo's TS official forum at ModForge.
6. Look at this:

OMG(i am so so sorry for this post but i have to say it) That is the FUNNIEST thing i have ever seen. (insert lots of lols here)

most of the people on b net play customs, and most of the customs arent games, the people who are @ the top of the ladder are selling their accounts, and noobs never get n e where,

Wintermaul TD was never released past v 2, Duke-Wintermaul never made a v 3 or higher, THATS why you protect maps


i think TOB SUCKS! its basically " OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG I DIED!!! OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG THIS GAME SUCKS!!! OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG"


illiterate @#$er has left the game

thats what it is with most good maps, if there not winning they leave, or bs, making the game suck for the rest of the people, that 500k damage morter and sheep, thats priceless, i bet some stupid noob would automatically say "OMFG THIS SUCKS" and never play it again, which is kinda good in a way..... theres the odd few good custom games (enfos, but the offensive spells ruin the game) games that require more then "atack move here" seem to be never hosted, too much information for their tiny brains

im gonnaput iq tests in the rest of my maps :) no tards get 2 play

Kekeke once "The weakest link" was a popular map... now we have "WARCRAFT'S BRAINEST PLAYER!!". Kekeke someone should work on this b.net gameshow map.

Anyway, let's take a look at the popular custom games and the reasons why they are popular.

Tower defense:
1) In team tower defense, you can always blame the other guy and get away criticism-free and consience-free. And if you win, you can go boast to your friends "1 @m l33t".
2) The enemies are flat out stupid guys that are computer controlled. No challenge, merely following that l33t build order or by mazing or stuff.
3) Let's face it. This thing is built on a simple concept and one doesn't need to know anything (other than building) to play this. Then there is the no-loss feeling (you lost, no biggie, cause it was a series of scripted events that beat you, no one is superior to you. You win, YOU ARE L33T!).
No I don't play td but I can see why it's popular.

AoS/DoTA/RoA/blahblahblah:
1) Simplicity. Run one hero about. So simple (the simplicity point has been elaborated by Pesmerga so I won't elaborate on it anymore but I totally agree with it).
2) For every abuse, there is an equal and opposite abuse. Also, believe it or not, IMBALANCE IS GETTING FIXED (and thus the popularity of DoTA is going down).
I do play DoTA type maps once in a while (most of the time I play ladder games or go play some unheard of map (which can be pretty fun but is rarely played again)).

Sheep tag:
1) ?!!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I have no F***ING idea WHY SHEEP TAG IS POPULAR! Someone please tell me! One can build a tag map in 15 minutes, and it requires no skill, and worst of all, I hate it. Why would anyone like sheep tag?
Speaking of which, here is a nice little conversation between sheep-tagging losers (people who buy a wc3 cd-key and spend all day wasting time on sheep tag). Note: This conversation is real (though memory loss may cause slight distortion)
Person 1: Wanna AT?
Person 2: What is AT?
Person 1: Arranged team
Person 2: What is that?
Sheep taggers should do something better with their brains (or lack thereof).

So, reasons why these maps are so popular
1) Simplicity. This point has been elaborated.
2) Feeling. Really, half the time someone loses a ladder game he cries "IMBALANCE!" and feels cheated. These games you can lose and you can cry "IMBALANCE!" and feel perfectly fine. (then if you win, you are l33t).
3) Popular to begin with. Half of these maps are popular because they BECOME popular. Once you get some loyal friends to distribute the map, people start thinking it's good and pass it to THEIR friends... blahblahblah...

I may sound a little confusing but my train of thought derailed halfway cause my Desert Crisis download finished :P

First i would like to say a little hi to Zoizite, You don't know me as i am new here, but i seen some of your work in the forum about your Dota style game (sorry if i say Dota style for it is your own made map but i don't know how to say it another way), and your Game look pretty cool, and i understand how much hardwork you spended on your map, you must be crazy as we all are to spend hours and hours on map making for the only satisfaction of building something up, the satisfaction of creating something.
I seen all of the posted message and i think there is pretty a lot of them, some make me angry as i disagreed, other make me sad as i thought the same way...(please forgive my spelling for english is not my mother tongue and i am not so good with computer).

First I wish mapmaker don't over look player and think they are superior beeing that can be understanded only by a few. mapmaking is a lot of work but if people don't play your map just stop complaining and saying it is because they are stupid. every people is free of his own opinion, maybe some map are just not good, some other are not fun enough, some other are too fewly distributed to be known, there is always a reason why a map work or doesn't. BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER u make your map for you , you spend hours on this because you have pleasure making a map, at least u can play it with good friend or put it here in free download so everyone can try it.

Second it is true as i saw it myself most of the player are greedy in quick selfsatisfaction, they are selfish and can hardly handle a team work game, they always try to be better than other and use the one way help...but even if they are young or like only (stupid) map based game, unbalanced or else thats there own right, so u can ever choose to do junk or just don't care about them and make your own map style..(i truly hope u choose your own way) to be famous or respected can be a goal, but then if u choose to do bad map for it, u will never get true satisfaction.

now this for TEKTIGTYTAKNO,
well you think TD map maker are stupid and people who play TD are brainless...? well i am a TD maker and player i must admit that i hate unbalanced TD, i hate people cheating or complaining about someone who steal their kill, i hate loosing because people rather look their kills instead of team work, they often are selfish and most of TD give all the fun for the few in front who get the kills while the over are bored in the back...
BUT i still tell you i am a TD map maker and i am a TD player and i am not ashamed of IT !! i trying to playing only interesting TD and as it is very hard to find ( try Burbenog TD Shvegait will be pleased) i try to make them so i can play an interesting and chalenging TD. i try to make it as original as possible to put the Team work over all, and hope i can only say hope that other player will find it fun and will play at it.
I am so fed up with thats my territory!! thats my kills!! that i try to make the difficulty hard enough to be impossible to complete without good teamwork, so people who don't play as team will be rewarded by loosing while people who play in team will be able to win.
i am not a great map maker i learned little a little by using the wintermaul not protected trigger and learning from them, i don't know C++ i didn't tryed JASS yet and don't know how it work, but please never say again that TD maker are dumb or loose their time and that people who play TD are dumb ***, WHO do u think u are TEKTIGTYTAKNO to tell other people that do U really think U are superior to anybody???

else everyone added interesting things so the subject was quite fully covered. i must say that i agree with most but i don't like self complaining and i like moderation.

I wish People who read me didn't loose their time, i don't know if my message is interesting or helps anyone, or can conclude on everything that everyone said...
but i thanks everyone who make this site alive by sending every day their feeling, their ideas, their help to newbie like me...
(i hope it wasn't to long but i don't care about splitting a message to get more post that's why i am still a peasant)
