Yup. However, just yesterday a friend of mine and I have been thinking about mapping again.
But it most likely would not be a puzzle map plus I would not count on my motivation.
It's sad.
Blizzard should not have changed the way of hosting custom games. Knowing that your maps have a very low popularity probability, finishing a map becomes harder and harder, especially for me to be honest.
I feel like most people like those very simple maps, so I had given it a shot and recreated the Blood Marathon, which actually became a success. Been on page 1 for several weeks when arcade launched and during the beta.
Although I do not think that I am someone whose motivation is dependent on public recognition, this somehow still bothers me quite a lot.
I love the editor though. If they fixed every bug or made the editor more fluent (regarding the data-editor), it would be perfect.
I've tried some stuff a long time ago, but it appears the map ended up corrupted and I cannot open it anymore. The editor freezes and the game starts lagging if I remember correctly.
But I've attached it, maybe it will load for you which I doubt though.
Payne, a puzzle map of yours? I would love to play it.
Sames goes for everyone else. Puzzle maps are like the very essence of mapping to me.
Oh, and I love rooms. My attached map uses the room feature. Nothing is better than rooms. Oh look, a door. I wonder what's next. A fucking spire? Some weird puzzles? Enemeis? Or Obama fighting Romney with lightsabers? Can't wait to open that door. AW SHIT.
It's locked.
Oh, and payne, you may want to start a contest like this with the launch of HotS.And yes, I come here quite often and I am not planning on changing that.
EDIT:
Oh any by the way, one of the worst decisions made by Blizzard: uploading a map as locked. Nice, I like that, but why shouldn't the uploader himself, the creator, be allowed to redownload his own file in case his local copy got somehow lost? Well, Devourer, there goes another good project which actually had a good chance. It's not that I am unable of keeping my files, but an unexpected technical issue made this happen.
