'Castle Fight' Hosting

[Norveejun]

Sigh, wrote a fairly long post with a few paragraphs and it was deleted since it auto-logged me out. Pretty frustrating, lol.

You guys host Castle Fight 3v3 on ENT 1, what I'd like to see is ENT4 hosting the same map except in a 4v4 format. That way 2-lane games would be encouraged again as 1-lane games are stale, mechanically limiting, and unbalanced. From what I've seen, ENT4 is pretty unpopular, at least compared to ENT1. I'm hoping a small change might breathe some life into the game again.

Could we also change the names to make them more similar? ENT1 is, "[ENT] Castle Fight! #xx" and then ENT4 is, "[ENT] Castle Fight 2v2 #xx". Just change them both to be, "[ENT] Castle Fight #v# #xx". Also, make their maps mirror each other. ENT4's map is different than ENT1's, just make them both use ENT1's map as it's superior.

Also, what's the best way to report someone? I read some report threads here on the forum, is that still the preferred method? Thanks.

Thanks again for reading too, really appreciate it.

report them how? if you mean for ban&simular the ban topic would be the best for something else you might post it where you think it's best and the admins will prob move it to where it belong.

And yes the 2v2 on the EU version seems abit bad to me aswel I'd like the same ver they use on the 3v3 & 1v1 and maybe use the big EU ver for 4v4+ as the map is bigger and works better with more units. but thats mostly a taste thing + the russian bot psl1 something host 2v2 games on that map tho the modes are abit odd it works abit better. + about "updateing" the CF version has been taken up before and most that play on the ENT bots like it the way they are and since if they dont there are alota other bots that host the other versions so it's easy just to play there then to add another bot that host the same thing just splits the players and adds more empty games.

as for changing the gns I dont really like they added the 1v1 & 2v2 cuz it was not the basic to add the 3v3 on ent1 would just make it annoying and the gn longer. But if ENT and the players feel that it's needed it might become the way you sugest.

IMO to have another voice is allways good. but from what I think the maps will prob not change, changeing the setup might the gns will depends how popular the idea become. and not every player are here on the forum so it's mostly the same people that has thier voices heard.

I understand why they did it though. If they were both "[ENT] Castle Fight! #xx" then it would get blurry on which one you meant to join or which your friends were in. With the additional numerals, it helps disassociate them from one another. So what I would like to see, is to make them universal. They should all specify in the title what game they're hosting, the player format for said game, and what lobby number it is.

ENT4 is just really sloppy and unpopular right now. Even checking the current games list it's sitting at 0/4, while ENT1 had 3/6. There's a reason for that, ENT4 just seems outdated and poorly designed. It could really benefit from a revamp and would also help the CF community with bringing back some awesome double-lane action on the modern and favored standard map that is currently hosted on our beloved ENT1 bot.

Just my feelings on the subject, I hope they consider my proposal as I love Castle Fight to death, but constricting the community to one bot due to design constraints when we have 3 allotted to us is silly.

Ingame when you loggin be4 going to the game list "loggin" to a channel by clicking on the "Enter Chat" bottom right then at the bottom right again there is a [?] botton click on and and read it will help you with some basic wc3 /cmds that will help you keep track of the bots and your friends easyer then dubble checking on the bots via site

a REvamp dont really feels like its needed cuz the map is updated abit every year more or less and to change it toomutch would make it into another game no? And again ENT is not the whole wc3-community the "biggest" and easyest to find it is tho so there are alot more then 1-4 bost that host the maps + both ENT and MMH have an easy working Hosting service that you can host with yourself if the games alrdy up font fit your taste

What? I've been playing Blizzard games for over 15 years, I know everything there is to know about them. There's clearly a large language barrier between us.

Anyone else want to chime in here who has a firmer grasp on English? Maybe a staff member?

hi, the 2vs2 arent that popular cause they havent the elo ratio,ppl told me they would play there if there was elo ^^ but well , i dont like the map design ether, but some legendary units there are cool stuff, like the legendary orc troll and some bugs are removed, like the wisps and elf shrine bug =)

then it would get blurry on which one you meant to join or which your friends were in.

thats why I tryed to help with with the /whois cmd and others. Beeing helpfull and trying to understand what you mean/want help with in between the lines as you have to when you play & type with people that dont really speak english as for ex koreans and russians and so on.
And from my exp here on wc3 maybe 25% know about and how to use the /cmds so beeing helpfull dont really mean that

There's clearly a large language barrier between us.

PS. might wanna check&reply your inbox.

@Norveejun So basically you wanna rename the gamename of ENT4 to match ENT1 in order to outline they are hosting the same map but just different player numbers?
