Hey. It's been several months, possibly even a year since I last came around here. I sort of randomly left WC3 and never came back.
It's safe to say that NOTDA was literally the best WC3 map I've ever seen and experienced. I had never seen such great usage of things that were capable on custom maps. I was equally impressed by the 'professionalism' of the map. It was extremely polished and had something for those rather hardcore players.
I am left wondering though, after playing the SC2 beta and seeing some of the custom maps people have made....Are there plans for NOTDA to move on over to SC2? This is basically a wishful dream, but from what I've read around here, it seems unlikely.
I tried tinkering around with the beta's editor and while I can say it looks to be incredible (even though it's beta editor, I can tell it can do a lot of things previous editors could not do), while maintaining the same feel as previous editors, it's also rather complicated, at least for me. My head simply explodes from trying to do simple things in the other editors, so it was not much different when I tried using SC2's editor.
So while I'd love to offer help, it just seems I'm not capable of using the editor. But I have to mention it is already extremely powerful right now, and it's only a beta editor. I've already seen impressive 3rd person and 1st person shooters, as well as top-down shooters, arcade games, tug of wars, etc. Everything that makes custom maps so fun.
At any rate, how have things been going on at NOTDA? I noticed the big site overhaul, but overall it feels like the community has gotten even smaller than last time I was around. I kind of miss the old days of me helping out organize games and having a blast with everyone, but I don't think I'll be coming back to WC3.
I only recognize a few familiar faces too, so that's a bummer.
Also, what happened to my guides? Obviously they were deleted with the site overhaul, but did anyone save them or anything? I'd just like to see if it was changed or to reflect on my writing.
