Starcraft is out, correct?

[lightning brigade]

Starcraft is out in many countries, but my question is that: Are we are waiting for all countries it was prepared for to have starcraft live before we make the forums available to it? or has Ralle just been preparing something extra special that makes it worth the wait? Or has there been some unforeseen problem in the matrix of the hive when attempting to launch it. Or some other reason? Discuss.

Ralle is currently working on THW 2.0, and hopefully it will be worth the wait.

All planned SC2 forums are already live. A better map advertisment / mod advertisment system might eventually be added but honestly do we need any more forums?

 

[Tleno]

Well probably the SC2 forums are not prepared yet, you know, finishing all the stuff, testing, typo searching and other simple but time consuming tasks. Plus he has his personal life and other Hive tasks to do, he can't make it all so quickly as you think.

Oh, and Ralle is not so mythological creature or a guy who would ban you just because of asking something, if you want you can ask him by yourself, who knows it better than Ralle himself?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Once again, although more stuff will be added over time, the main forums for SC2 already exist.

Talking about all this forum stuff, since you can now download maps from B.net dirrectly, there won't be any Maps section in SC2 forums, right? But other like Models or skins should be, right?

Yes I've seen that being said since 3+ months ago

If anyone here was expecting a forum tree/scheme as presented by me on the Site Discussion forum, forget it. Ralle claims it's hard to implement on THW 2.0, or something. If the forum system works as I believe it does, I don't think it is that hard, but, nevertheless, like Imtor pointed out, the wait seems to long enough to consider implementing a few temporary forums. I honestly don't like the SC2 forums to be down here either, with or without the link at the top. The sub-category was also unnecessary as it prevents us from directly accessing the Galaxy Help Zone, as well other forums within that sub-category, from the main board.
But like I said before, I need support when these things happen. With 100 to 200 users browsing this forum at once every time I look at it, I expected to receive a little more support than I did on the thread I made in Site Discussion. If you still want things to be like that, it might not be too late yet. But you have to post in the thread.

As for a Map Section, we won't implement one because maps have to be published to Battle.Net using the Editor.

Would be nice to have some nice Zerg theme. . .since we are at "The Hive" .

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i suggested helping with coding a map section but ralle ignored me.

 

[mrzwach]

There is no reason to have a map section. Maps are uploaded onto Bnet, and downloading maps from here is pointless as you cannot play them on Bnet anyways unless they are already published.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The other sites with map sections were just because the makers though it would be cool or they were added for the beta before battlenet was flawlessly reliable or permantly available. I suspect most of them will be taken down or they will be left to fester and rot.

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

Although, with the hideousness of the current custom map system, it couldnt hurt to have a map advertising system where people can rate maps and such, discuss bugs.

 

[Dr Super Good]

We already have one...

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

When I said that, I was thinking more of Hives system for WC3 maps - organised by category and such.
