[Xander-]

1) It's imbalanced...overhosted...etc.
2) Mindless killing, who doesn't like it?
3) Hmm...I'm gonna have to say Element TD
4) Its huge variety of towers and possibilities
5) There isn't one. It depends on the game. Any genre can be done fairly well online
6) Probably a maze, but I don't really make mazes so I wouldn't know
7) Blizzard put it there for a reason, but if you're just playing with your friends you could always just take a disc over to their house...
8) Of course, as I said, they need the file size limit
9) Hmm...I usually stay behind the main lines casting support or mass destruction types of spells
10) Yes, but I'm hypocritical in doing so
11) Challenging by far, an extremely easy game isn't really worth playing

11) Do you prefer an easy game, or a challenging game?

1 ) i generally like that game, but i think it's been played a little to often
2 ) it's simply the publicity of that map. Very few (good) other AOS are known and those i do know are either to big (meaning they are big and can't be downloaded somewhere as easily as dota) or badly done...
3 ) pfuha, i played so many ones i dunno
4 ) see 3)
5 ) i like rpgs most
6 ) if you can do triggers footies seem to be easiest to me, closly followed by tds - simply look what is done the most often...
7 ) in LAN it's not neccessary, but from the point of a game coder it's easier to make all networkgames obey to the same rules (even though it's not that much more complicated to change this...)
8 ) it is somewhat a logical consequence of all the online filesharing. if files, as big as a mp3 (in acceptable quality) could easily be attached to a map, without damageing the fun - it would be done.
Therefore i accept how it i sdone, even thoug i hate that those who would not do stuff like that have still to obey to that rule...
9 ) summoner - staying away from the combat sending my minions in
10 ) no comment
11 ) depends on my mood. if i'm in a good mood i _always_ prefer playing challenging maps, otherwise i prefer playing maps where i can mostly simly watch what happens... (beeing quite shure to win ^^)

 

[Matt540 sheep god!]

1. A plague that really get annoying if you want to play rare maps like I try to host but people ignore.
2. A chain reaction sequence. After it was first intoduced, alot of people liked it, so they hosted it some more. Because of all the people hosting, they decided to host it...Then they hosted since it was a fashion craze by now...Now everyone knows about it. There is even a clan DOTA in azeroth!
3. I'd have to say blue td. that game was fun before the plague struck...now im lucky to see it on saturdays...
4. If you mean the quiz, it was the top. And it was a survey

If you mean the td, it was a very challenging, anti noob game. It also was small, so very few lagged out as well. The terrain effects were nice, some of the tiles with runes looked neat, and it had a huge sence of stradegy (If you massed towers at all, you were ahnilated!) Also, it did the maze for you. ALl you had to do was build towers as the game whent along. The major questions that the game asked you is: Should I get a pierce tower or and air? A Hero tower or a splash tower? An ice trap or a poision tower? And should I have a set amount of a certain towers for immune?
5. Rpg
6. Unlike most people think, a good meelee map with playable terrain is probibly the hardest thing to make. Campains are some of the simplest things out there compared to it. Id have to say TD. The hardest part is making the towers good enough to last you and the prices not to unfair or not to easy to get.
7. Probibly, since any more and the game will lag alot. However, I really want more music in a map than the wc3 music...Like the mars attacks theme im putting in my sheep tag in space map.
8. Dind you just ask that?
9. I like to use them more to cast spells to really blow down buildings or constantly weaken the enemy little by little. Doesnt matter which.
10. Not really. I like good terrain though, nothing to flat or im really gonna be bored to death.
11. Challenging. It lasts alot longer and has alot higher replay value for the fact that it was that hard to get past.

1) Fun and most balanced AOS.
2) I think they managed to stay popular because most people like to "kill" other player, no "blastmaster too overpower". It's perfectly balanced so far, it just involves skill.
3) I don't know. Probably Minotaur Labyrinth 2 v1.2 (bnet)
4) It involves limited space to put tower in the maze, you have to decide which tower and which spot to form a maze. It also allow you decide how you want to play (solo, team, etc). Challenging.
5) Ice Trolls all the way! sadly not many play it anymore.
6) AOS I think, in fact I made one back in v1.00 wc3, all you do is tell spawning units to move-attack from region to region. Once you get them functioning, make heroes.
7) Yes
8) Yes
9) Depend on what game, I usually like melee range.
10) Not really, but please no land full of flat green.
11) Depend on what you mean, against players or against the map. What kind of map, etc... I'm going with Challenging.

1)dota is fun but played much too often, i prefer a good footmen or td to it
2)dota is just..there..it's a fast game (generally) and unlike most games has its own site and a (very) quick loading time.
3)Td is always will be, Zoator td survivor. that one with 4 races to choose from
4)this td stood out for its many towers/races, a secret builder that gave bonus dmg to towers(only unlockable after beating the game normally with a race) and a boss system that gave lumber when killed which could be used to steal money from other players, gain lives, buff the round for enemies, etc... and it had a special hero system on the bottom where it summoned creeps by entering a c.o.p. for bonus gold. All in all, the best td. Its because of it im striving to make my td stand out as much as it used to.
5)td's are fairly easy to play online be it alone or with pals; to chat
6)Tds are fairly easy to make...though generally takes lotsa time. Mazes too.(easy i meen, not long)
7)i wont answer for i dont care
8)look up
9)i like archer typed heroes/ mages are ok since they are ranged as well. Though i useally end up with something melee (or based) in the end. be it dota-types or just normal bnet. *ally speaking*: get knights and footmen. *me speaking* aye aye :lol:
10)i am very judgemental in a games terrain it must be perfect! or at least well done. especially in games where i KNOW i could do it better if i had done it myself. i hate seeing poorly done maps.
11)a moderate game, as hard ones make me quit(sometimes) though very easy games do the exact same too :lol:

Anyone ever heard of the game stampede? thats a pretty good game that doesnt belong in any genre of itself. you just build towers in a small square arena with some allies. then a beastmaster appears and casts a weak stampede destroying towers and shit. they eventually get stronger and destroy the trees that are there at the begin (to offer slight protection) towers get stronger ovetrtime. also if you dont get attacking towers, eventually, there will be too many beastmasters and castings... enough to overwhelm and kill!

 

[VGsatomi]

1. Horribly imbalanced. Stolen, unoriginal, ect. Caters too much to the wayward "733t" inerernet culture. Gone way overboard with the whole banlist thing where first time players MUST play like a pro. or else.

2. It was tailor made for the average internet idiot, and those who thrive on acting morinic while hiding behind screen names. You couldnt ask for a better magnet for those people like dota.

3. Naga TD and Skibi's Castle TD.

4. Skibi had lots of variety and the mini-games were quite a plus. More balanced then your average TD. Naga TD because it was simply so well done, combined with a nice theme.

5. Small, low file size min games. This inclused AoS.

6. Probably tag maps.

7. Obviously. The 4 meg limit appplies to both lan and b.net.

8. Considering how impatient people are to download even 1 meg over b.net, obviously yes.

9. Melee.

10. Yes. Its a very basic thing that all mappers should learn. Its easy and increases the quality of a map very much. Bland terrain breeds bordom.

11. Most of the time when I play games, its to relieve frustration...getting frustrated doesnt help my mood much, so usually easy.

[gerbal_warfare]

...

1) DotA sucks. It hurts to play. It really does. Too unbalanced. No-one likes people downloading it or learning how to play it and complain about the noobs.
2) People have nothing better to do.
3) Azure, Skibi's or elemental
4)well there are 3.. and they were fun
5)AOS
7)Hell no
8)Yes, limits lag, although a higher limit would be nice (6mb) to allow for more custom crud.
9) depends, spell casters are only good if they have a balanced mix of AoE and single target spells. Archers are good but only if they attack fast, (1.00 - 1.75 second base attack speed.) Frontal Heroes are only good if they have healing support, lots of health or self-heal.
10) Only if it's incredibly crap. Really crap. Painfully crap. (Like my terraining)
11) Both, a game with various difficulties is better than a game that's only hard or only arsingly easy.

Re: Mappers and Bnet Players: Take the survey <<<&

1 ) What are your opinions on DotA?

:/ I am da feeder I prefer Tides of Blood FTW!

2 ) How do you think DotA has managed to overwhelm Bnet matches?

Because if you know what hero to take and what items to buy you can play 1v5 and still win omfg... ;/

3 ) What is the best TD you've seen?

Zoator TD (survival and classic) original one, haven't played other ones.

4 ) What made this stand out?

Balance and great difficulty

5 ) What genre is the best to play online?

AOS, Minigames... RPGs are useless because no one will Holy Light you and you are dead gg

6 ) What genre is the easiest to make in WE?

AOS

7 ) Is the 4mb limit neccessary for LAN games?

I suggest 1,5 mb limit. You don't need custom models and skins

8 ) Is this neccessary for Online games?

Look up

9 ) How do you normally use your heroes? (eg: magic alot, frontal attacker etc)

I prefer agility ranged heroes, but if I know map is imbalanced I take Demon Hunter or Blademaster with mass agility tomes.

10 ) Are you judgemental of the Terraining in maps?

Depends...

11) Do you prefer an easy game, or a challenging game?

<3 Very hard games

11) Do you prefer an easy game, or a challenging game?

1 ) My opinion is that to me, its boring, might be balanced, but as soon as someone gets a good item, he becomes almost uber.
2 )Maybe the spells, also not many have tried to make another one like it, or better.
3 ) They all good, but i like Cube Defense
4 ) Its kinda challenging ( to me ) just gotta know how to defend, and with what.
5 ) There is no best, its what people like, like i prefer Hero Seige, or TDs more than anything else.
6 ) I would say, footman, uses very few triggers.
7 ) I wonder what would happen if their was no limit on the file size...
8 ) Duh, if it takes sometimes 10 min to load a game like DOTA, imagine bigger games....
9 ) Any way possible, what ever they give me, ill figure out a way to fight, but i always keep eyes on my hero's health
10)Totally, even though, I suck at terraining, but terrain is what enlightens the map, to me its like 30% on what i rate it.
11)Challenging, an easy game would be too easy to beat, then it wouldn't want me to play again, cause i would know exactly what to do...

If you don't like my opinions, and you flame me or something, i'll just ignore you, so I don't care.

1: It's an infestation that got lucky and attraced all the bloody nubs and now it floods the custom games section. ive only had like 2 TOB games in the past several months on WEST. ugh.
2: By attracting the nubs. And they started refusing the play acual games...dang, one time i challenged a dota player to a 1v1 on melee, beat him with a peasant rush. It was sad. Kinda like goin on starcraft and taking on a money map plauer-theres no pride in winning against them.
3: I don't play TD's, too boring.
4: N/A
5: AOS if it's Tides of Blood. If you cant get tides of blood, melee.
6: There are a million ways to design any map of any genre, and sometimes one genre stands out as being hard, other times others stand out.
7: lol no...
8: Same as above
9: I use them about equaly, sometimes i go heavy melee sometimes i use archmage. Unless, we ask this question about TOB, then i can safely say i generally go Malfurion or Sin and therefore pretty much just snipe people and AOE dmg bases.
10: Not that much. Terrain can be cheap as long as it gives the right mood and feel.
11: Sometimes i prefer diferently. When I play 4v4 rt, its usualy because im bored and dont really care about win/loss/whatever and im in hope of easy. Sometimes ill do 1v1 or FFA and hope for intensity.

1. I dont really like DoTA, I used too because it was evenly played like any other game now its overwhelmed BNet.
2.Well, possibly it's their clans for DOTA that just seem to be dazed by it.
3.Well I'm a map maker and the TD I'm working (aside from the CTF) I like most. Other than that Element TD.
4.Very large amount of combinations, there is no end!!=-D
5.Personally I like playing TDs online with others.
6.Footman Wars, almost all triggers are heroes, footy spawn and win and lose!
7.Doesnt matter much to me.
8.No.
9.Mixed but most likely I'll go for a battle mage type (if there is one) other than that upfront attacker! >=-)
10.Somewhat, I mean if its all flat and one terrain type (all cut grass and no trees or upper or lower levels).
11.Challenging.
