here once a thread for starcraft in fantasy medieval times and somehow the main thread had been replaced by threads like 'who's the best 1v1 hero', 'how to become pro?', '<insert item here> is imba' that trolls delighted to jump in and start their 'flame and blame' games in those threads

leaving the forum aside and to the game itself: if you managed to log into battlenet with warcraft3, you'll see 90% out of 80% custom maps listed there are that particular custom map

certainly there are some people who had the urge to port this custom map to SC2 and change 'Ancients' word to 'Astriods' (or something techie that starts with 'A') to suit the futuristic space fantasy theme

seeing that *ahem* ware sprung hours after release and there will be certain group of people make SC2 playable thru LAN for their own interest; sooner or later this SC2 section would be flooded by beng-bengs who starts to ask brainless questions like 'which hero is stronger?', 'me and my leet skill replay' and turns into another ugly mess like how warcraft3 thread now.

Lol seems a lot people anti-DOTA?

orly? if you still cant get it, refer back to the real ID debates/flames and/or even the comic strip dedicated to it (was it ctrl alt del? cant remember)

C'mon guys, SC 2 is still in its infancy; there's no need to start antagonizing a DotA-like that's appearing.

DotA didn't "kill" Warcraft 3. Warcraft 3, for all intents and purposes, was pretty much dead in the water (The Koreans stuck to Starcraft (Whom were the main targets for this) and the rest of the world didn't fancy a "war" game that allowed you control of an average of 20 units at once). DotA merely used Warcraft 3 as a platform to be where it is now.

If Starcraft 2 is as strong a game as Starcraft was, then you anti-DotA fans will have nothing to worry about since, believe it or not, more than one community can exist within the same network.

Can we please just get along and keep all the "anti/pro-DotA" rhetoric out of here? I was hoping this place wouldn't need constant moderation so early in its expected long life.

Same set of bengs who refuse to pay RM100 for HoN?
Same set of bengs who won't pay RM250 for a good game?
Same set of bengs who unwarily try the ladder only to get wtfpwned and ragequit?



Wouldn't worry bout it if I were you. And besides SotIS seems to have diverted from the stereotype and introduced mercs and whatnot. Bengs don't like change, bengs like what's imba and what they can conform to. Reiterating this again : They won't buy the game, let them enjoy their uhh..LAN play or whatever they want on some ahoy matey version (when it happens, only a matter of time). I, in the mean time, will enjoy battle.net free of such uncivilized people.

can't wait to see what develops within the next half year....a lot more map devs hopefully will churn out loads of custom maps

the current custom maps are pretty ok-ish, standard stuff like TD, USF marine sumthin (upgraded version of starship trooper like map in WC3) etc. still , pretty good stuff and I can't wait for a DOTA-like to come out

So do we need to pay the creator of SOTIS?
I think it will something like dday map in warcraft 3. AOS type with hero and unit that can buy and fight.
Just hope that no one can create maphack tool in sc2.
Now those lala go to gayrena HON already. SC2 still quite clean.

honestly i never get whats the whole "dota killed war3 deal"
but maybe thats cuz of me playing US east server and i still play ladder games regardless of whenever i play war3.

and quite honestly, it isnt even "dota" doing all this, mess to say the least. its the people (trollan or not) that caused this. hell, i even loved dota to bits when it was still maintained by EUL (who here still remembers him? lol i even remember his lich avatar, was so rare back then)

hohoho i still remember the original DOTA (non all stars) made by Eul.

i consider it a life saver for me as back in first half of year 2003 i was heart broken due to girl issue.

kept playing DOTA (original, by Eul, all stars belum keluar lagi) every day and i recovered liao.

well most dotards are in the SEA region...
and i doubt u see them much on bnet since they are pirates

I used to play quite a bit of DotA on Bnet last time.

Trust me, they're there as well.

well there are difference between a dota player like us and dotards that cant differentiate w3 with the custom map...

At the risk of coming off as a pretentious twat, yes, I am aware that we aren't the typical dota fans.

I just wanted to point out that these "dotards" aren't just exclusive to pirated Warcraft 3 servers. Bnet has its fair share as well.

well, hey, i use to host "msia / sg players only" dota all stars games on US West / US East myself yo.

erm, i used a software, i think called wc3 ban list to check ping and all etc.

made sure everyone ping <100ms before start game.

with myself hosting, i enjoice lag free game!

also, i can rage quit anytime i want. hohohohoho.

I especially hate those ppl who played DOTA but never played Warcraft in the first place...

Why? The two games play very differently. Its not like you *need* to know how to play Warcraft 3 before you want to play Dota.

I don't mind if they haven't played Warcraft. I do mind that they are completely ignorant of Warcraft 3 though. Even then, I don't hate them... I just know to ignore everything they say.

i guess you have a good reason to remember heh

hohohoo indeed. i was still too nufag when it comes to dealing with girls issue back then.

anyway, maybe we can compile of list of players who are interested to try out this game?

for SEA region, since most of us are in here ahha.




shall we start?

LYN ID / battle.net character name / battle.net character ID

yup...
DOTA is a good custom map to its credit...
but the player community tainted it...
they made IdrA's nerdrage seemed like child's play...
