The LotV Arcade

has anyone seen the new arcade ui? It's so awesome. You can see millions of different games just on the list.

I always wished that for Wc3. I still rember the wc3 list (dota, dota, dota, dota banlist, island defense, dota (non standard mode), dota, oh some other game, island defense, dota).

Sadly you can't name the games yourself since all open games are smashed into one entry for one specific map. However, this makes it more fair for map makers to promote their maps.

Yesterday I played like 5 different cool maps (doodad hunt 2, empires and conquest, airstrikes, age of war and risk legacy). Wish the hive would have more support for Sc2 modding.

I love the new arcade too! The new interface is just 100x better than the old one.

Sadly you can't name the games yourself since all open games are smashed into one entry for one specific map.

It actually creates a new entry each time you use the "Create Game" button, so you can have multiple lobbies of the same map. Also, if a map has an alternate mode, it'll be displayed next to the map name. So you'll see "X Hero Siege - Normal" and "X Hero Siege - Hard" next to eachother.

Not quite named lobbies, but it's still good!

SC2 has had this for 1-2 years already... They just moved some stuff around and broke chat.

Yeah, ik, but now it feels like very focused.

Yesterday I logged in and there were about 50 open games. The list was quite long and very different.

I feel it's a step forward.
