i don't want him to be harassed by your criticism like you did to me.
This is not harassment, my review was precise and exact. Even wc3c.net require your map to have proper hotkey as well.
if i were you, just ignore septimus and others who offend you. they are not helping you. if you want real feedback,
This is not offense, pointing to a minor flaw such as inproper hotkey are consider feedback.
A constructive info give a indepth information of where the flaw is. If such a tiny flaw would not be fix, the map would not be going anywhere. Take an example of D3 where they would fix even such a minor flaw, now it was the finest work and top downloaded map at hive.
Do you want people to wrote a review where they said "It is terrible" without mention where the problem is?
don't make it open source,
I do not ask him to make it an open sources, I just want the open sources.
Do not forget, zombie fps style game are rather popular and there is thousand or probably millions of this map exist at wc3. If you want your map to be fun and popular, you would have to do something that are rather extraordinary.
Sometimes it could only be achieve just by getting some constructive critism at where the tiny flaw is.
do what you were meant to do which was to create a mini game that show cased on how your future game's combat system would be like.
You are trying to encourage him not to fix even a small flaw of his map? I know you are still sore about your map being rejected by 4 moderator.
Let me tell you, you are not the only one that have their resources rejected. Even 1 of my resources was rejected by the staff, but it was approve once it had gone through a tremendous improvement.
And I do mean tremendous improvement, not a tiny improvement.

Even this map of mine have everything well balance except the terrain which are poorly develop, it earn 1/5 (Unacceptable) from Gilles. But it gone through a huge changes at the terrain.
You can go and ask Gilles how badly the terrain was done at the early version.
If I could do a tremendous improvement that are request by the mod, I do not see the reason why you or any other person cannot do it.
*kind of off-topic it says rejected but it isnt rejected...
Once a rejected resources was update, they would be set to pending (For rejected till updated).
Oh, you really don't know what happened. He ORIGINALLY did NOT give any proper reasons. He just downright rejected it. It was only after i started complaining that he only wrote down those comments, half of which are bullshit in my opinion.
You need to understand, hive have hundred of pending pages. If he doesn't write enough reason for it, you can just request it by posting it at resources moderation forums.
If you want feedback, you are suppose to post it at map development section and not here. Map sections only for complete work, the map moderator are not born to be your map tester. They are here just to ensure the map quality was at least at decent standard and safe to be used by every user in this community.
And btw, this is NOT my first map. I've been in hive for a very long time, even longer than my registry date in my profile. I have SEVEN approved maps(and tons of other maps which i did not submit here) from since i first started. I didn't have any problems with the mods here before. It was only until bountyhunter started rejecting my maps(he rejected the previous one, which i didn't really make a fuss over) for no real reason.
Previously, the hive have a rather low requirement standard in approving resources. Thus, it make possible to have an resources approve even if the standard was rather low.
For your information, we got more tough and strict requirement in approving resources especially in term of quality from now on rather than the old time before.
Apart from that, approve doesn't mean it was permanently approve. If there is a report of your map to be bug or contain error, it would be re-evaluate and rejected if it confirm to be true.
*The terrain is more then horrible* I felt it was just misplaced rather. I mean we are living in an age of zombies and terror, but there is a base perfectly put in the center, with NO WALLS OR DEFENSES, how could this be? The terrain should be ****** up. If there is any base left, it has HIGH levels of defense to keep what is left of it, or it would be gone. If not, it is abandoned and not looking anything like what you put out.
I agree this part isn't constructive, it doesn't mention where the flaw is. This part certainly look like destructive critism.
sooooo, weapon falls from the sky is just plain stupid?
If the weapon suddenly spawn at the ground when the player camera was viewing over there, it makes sense to be stupid. However, it doesn't if such a situation doesn't occur.
how about NOTD and Afterlife which had be approved? btw, they also all about shooting zombies.(especially Afterlife)
Do paid note that this 2 have a rather high replayability values and it isn't shoot zombies all the time. It got mission to be done.
