Publishing not enabled

Honestly, Blizz’s whatever intention does not matter. They are just not talking about banning publish, and if they are sincere, first thing they have to do is announce it in Battle.net or whatever official channel, not let players spend time to search one by one and end up knowing this in forum or reddit comments.

Blizzard just don’t care about how most map makers and players think about this issue. I bet over a half of makers still think ‘their map is problem, not Blizz’ and fact is developers just shutted down this without any notifications.

Honestly, I’m using a translator because I can’t speak English, but I have to say something because it’s frustrating. Honestly, it’s not free to publishing, right? It’s not that expensive, but I’m a Blizzard customer because I paid for it. However, I think it’s wrong to suddenly realize the seriousness of the situation and unilaterally block the publishing. Other than the video incident, this has been a problem for a while.

Every time, Blizzard only took temporary measures, and there were still problems. There was no special notice every time, and this time there was no notice. What kind of game company is there in the world? Blizzard basically has to give notice.

People don’t have very good patience. It’s already been a month. Shouldn’t we get some information about what’s going on?

Shouldn’t Blizzard tell you those basics so that people are less likely to ask questions about posting on the discussion board?
I can wait if there is any ETA and what is the progress.
However, waiting without promise like this is mentally too difficult.

Blizzard is the company that made the game, so I don’t think it reigns like a king.

If you think it will take a long time to fix it perfectly, please discuss stopgap.

Any new information? :F Rito please, I need to update my map … :frowning:

Look bud, we’re on the same side here. We all want publishing to come back. But that doesn’t excuse blizzard’s dogs**t response to the situation. Or rather their lack of any coherent response. That is where my frustration is directed. Their word has lost all trust or meaning.

The community experts agree that they’ve abandoned the game, and the content of the recent update proves they lack the technical expertise to properly fix the issue (or they just don’t care).

At this moment, the best source of information about this foul situation is the mapster discord, with full technical explanations from the developers there:

Yeah yeah, it’s not official. But the fact is that blizzard’s official word is worthless now. This is the next best thing to monitor given the totality of the circumstances.

The official answer is that there is no ETA.

Honestly, I don’t know where Blizzard makes official announcements. I think Blizzard is neglecting the arcade because it’s not making money… Is the arcade’s death approaching? Is there no hope or dream? I think I’ve waited long enough.

Not sure why they would be the experts to come to that conclusion. Bliz overtly announced SC2’s retirement almost five years ago. Since then, no, it hasn’t been fully abandoned.

They put in countermeasures to mitigate the coop problems. They patched the webcode exploit that was completely taking the entire arcade down for everyone. And now, they took uploading down to address the illicit and sometimes illegal content. Regardless of what Bliz decides is their solution, no critically thinking person would call that “abandoned”. And, no, a discord full of people thinking so doesn’t make it true.

For the layperson sure. But not those with communication line with Bliz.

So then it sounds like, to you, it doesn’t matter if they respond or not because you won’t trust it anyway. It’s “worthless”. Why would anyone, Bliz or otherwise, respond to that state of mind? Luckily there are cool heads out in the world that don’t write off anything Bliz says. This is for them.

The moral of the story is, unless you have concrete footing for anything you attempt to claim, you really shouldn’t say anything. Not just in this case, but in life. When you do, you only foster and perpetuate misinformation, which isn’t good for anyone.

We are not on the same page, RJC. I operate from rationale, and official sources. You seemingly operate from bandwagoning and mob mentality.

Unfortunately, across several media. When and where has never had any rhyme or reason.

That said, with their retired games like SC2 they often don’t communicate much, if at all.

And with that said, see my post below.

Hey all,

Bliz made a post about this today.

See here:

Because they used the Editor Discussion forum, it would be best to post map links there.

1 month later and finally some logs. It’s a step in the right direction, but not exactly praiseworthy.

I don’t disagree

Again, the best temporarly solution is to prevent new files from uploading, but allow people to update what is already uploaded.

Disabling uploads for a year causes only one thing: making your entire community go away and find other games to play / mod. Whether ending arcade is Blizzard’s goal or not, they are accomplishing that goal effectively.

I’ve been playing and modding blizzard games for more than 30 years, and spent hundreds of dollars on their games. Their lack of consideration for their customers and their lack of wisdom on how to handle problems has been amazingly bad.

It would best to post map links in the Editor Discussion forum.

dude you have no idea what your talking about, na cant upload either, get a grip and get a life.

lmao sure bud what ever you say.

again you dont have a clue

NA’s uploading is disabled too. And first step that Bliz has made toward a fix was applied to all regions.

It was announced the day all uploading was disabled. It was updated 4 days ago.

Examples?

as i already said you dont have a clue about whats going on echoxray so you child need to go back to school and let the grown ups talk.

nice try acting smart and getting proven wrong in 2 sec. bravo good sir you played yourself.

No need to get upset, bros. I don’t want to admit it, but Bliz is actually trying to solve things, and complaining aimlessly is just a waste of energy. It’s a bit sad, but we all know Bliz has less reason to invest in old SC2 than in other games.

or have you ever thought that those are trolls starting trouble. no na is not able to upload.

well thats pretty funny you deleteing that post with the supposed proof. bet they were from other threads not even related to the topic on hand, considering not one of those people posted in this thread.
