Hackers and Fastest maps

1) This has to be one of the leading concerns for any video game. I personally and i bet all of you will agree that cheating should be tightly monitored and brutally punished. I really don't want map hacks to diminish this games strategic quality's.

2) Fastest possible maps are originally hacker related (staking) but transformed to something wildly used. I don't mined seeing them return but not at the expense of them singling out the REAL maps were a higher level of skill and strategy is needed.

Statement 1 is really the biggest problem, there will be swarms of people developing hacks on this games release. I just want to see a clean game for once.

 

You know blizzard. They wont let hax get us ......... They just had a grudge against diablo. Thank you for your spelling o.o

 

Point number one is obvious, and Blizzard has been working diligently on getting rid of any hacker/exploiters. There is just going to be no way that we will be 100% clean. Blizzard can just do whatever they can to keep it to a minimum.

As for the Fastest point....I guess I just don't quite understand.

 

Bro those fastest maps are custom maps, not in the ladder or games you can search for other people for normal games. There doing it something like w3 I believe.

 

They won't ruin real maps. There are plenty of other people who will play ladder games. Fast maps will never touch ladder in any way. Yes, like sniper said, a good example is WC3.

 

the "fastest" maps will no doubt still be popular in custom games. they won't be a problem for anyone who wants some "serious" starcraft. Blizzard would never make them official maps.

 

fastest maps are awesome! create the biggest armys the fastest for epic battles and quick gameplay

 

i agree. fastest maps are like Michael Bay movies- sometimes you don't want to think, you just want to see stuff explode as quickly as possible. great entertainment.

 

solution to nr 1: no LAN
solution to nr 2: implement stacking from the beginning

 

1) I don't really care if LAN capability is there, but I don't see how removing LAN prevents hacking. If anything, LAN games are less prone to hacking since there's only a few people playing (and each of them knows the other person, being in the same room).

I expect Blizzard learned something from WoW, as it's relatively clean.

 

If you all like fastest possible map it probably means you all hack, 90% of starcraft players hack. Thats why i don't want to see it in this game. If any of you see fastest maps as better then normal maps it means your probably a newb. I played way over 1000 fastest games before i realized how boring and un strategic it is. The micro skill in a normal map is easily 4 times more difficult and the type of strategy cant be compared.

If you don't agree just watch the Koreans play.

 

wow. baseless accusations, random correlations, and made-up statistics.

 

Wow, all I can say to that is...


If you hated them so much, I figure you'd stop sometime around the 5th try...

 

I loved fastest maps, but once you reach a certain skill level they become EXTREMELY Boring and REPETITIVE. And judging by your reaction you probably hack. I myself have hacked because there was no way to win a game against hackers.

Go online now, try finding a game were no one hacks.

 

hm. you cheat, therefore everyone else must be a cheater like you. nice extrapolation.

 

Is black sheep wall a hack?

 

yes black sheep is cheat

 

Much like in WarCraft 3, I doubt custom melee maps will have any room to get popular. Stats won't be recorded anymore, and though they never meant much, they obviously still gave enough incentive for people to play to win (and hack to win).

Anyways, I think the new casual league will probably be a good replacement for all the people who just want to have fun in maps like Fastest and BGH.

 

I have won several games against hackers. Hackers are usually unskilled players, and the hack is usually not enough to overcome the skill difference.

 

^^I agree, but you also have many diffrent kids of hackers, map hackers you can beat, just because they see you comming doesent mean they are prepared for an onslaught of 3 fleets of battlecruisers.

I have to agree, I am also worried about fastest maps returning, so many people play them that they actually think Fastest was and actual gamemode made by blizzard(Like my little cousin who I took on in a standards game and destroyed.. brutally..)
