Ok, looks like you're already getting a lot of good feedback, but here's mine as well and the two bugs I've noticed.

When an Infestor is latched onto somebody and the round ends, the Infestor dies, but it's tentacle remains clinging onto the person pretty much indefinitely.

When Blaze (?) used his jump ability from one of the side-tunnels to go "over" the non-playable wall area he got stuck on top of the wall and I was locked out of all my controls (abilities were blanked out). After about 30 seconds he died (was the last specialist) and we were defeated.

What I would like: -More levels for weapon upgrades - I get bummed out that there's only one or two levels of some of the upgrades. I'd like to level up some of the more unusual weapon upgrades at least 5 times to create a unique play-strategy. -More money from boss fights. I thought it was a great touch that in the old boss fight, if you had forgotten to upgrade your weapon damage, you could earn enough money by killing his swarms to eventually upgrade your gun enough to kill the boss. The new boss that spawns dudes that spawns swarms was too long and boring without a good payoff. -A different character style for Salve, I don't like the way he looks. -More variety in the specialist basic attacks, they all look different (which is good) but they all seem to work the same (is bad), even with the cool new unique upgrades.

Stuff I like already: -The basic waves of enemies manage to be fun and challenging. -The difficulty levels are sensible and responsive. -The variety of leveling up options and upgrades. -The unique character of each specialist. -The ability to revive automatically.

Finally beat this in Easy with pro healer lol..

Sorry but i have to say ,u are destroying ur map... A lot of ppl rage quit because of lv 5 boss even in normal or easy..At least give us money and exp from boss fight.. If you want to make the map harder , make it harder in later stages, not in early stages..I saw 2 Aberration spawned in every stages from 1 > 5, how can we get money - exp if those Aberrations keep chasing and killing us ? If you gonna tell me to upgrade - % speed , - armor etc..Yea sure we can at least go through lv 1 > 4, then how can we fight against a 125 armor - 100k HP boss if the highest damage we can have around 140-160 damage ? More than that , those festerlings keep spawning continuously and we dont have enough mana to deal with them , healer doesnt have enough mana to keep his teammate alive.. Heroes are supposed to fight against infested creatures, not to run away from 2-3 Aberration in 1>4 stages and die in stage 5.. The first day you published your map, it was on top because it was really fun and everybody can play - enjoy and beat the game ( beginners can beat in Easy , pro can beat in Hard - Brutal - Savage , but atleast they can win ).. Dont mean anything offense, its my thought...I really like ur map..

First of all, I played this game for the first time yesterday, its its easily one of the best custom games Ive played so far.

I was wondering if it is at all possible to make it so when you flash heal with Salv, that you can simply press heal and then click on your teammate in the "party window" on the side, instead of having to find your teammate buried amongst the swarm. With or without health bars , it still can get difficult just to click on your teammate. Not sure if this is possible though.

1. As far as bugs go, Ive noticed that Dead-Eye seems to get glitched to where eventually he always has a neural parasite attached to him , even when hes not being controlled.

2. Also, blaze seems to disappear or get stuck sometimes, and I have to jet pack literally out of the ground somehow to get back.

Looking forward to future stuff!

Needs to bring back the exp/money from boss fights. Was getting swarmed continuously from the first boss.

IDK what is going on but there is some kinda bug where Jim Raynor cant shoot from the top level to the bottom... he keeps walking down to the lower level to shoot things. It works sometimes when their is a ramp but in most cases if just messes up and makes it so he is really an ineffective character.

Hi, first i'd like to congratulate you for the great maps you make, not only this one, but also Insectipede (which in Europe is stuck in version 2.6, that always crashes after 3rd boss).

I downloaded and published version 1.31 on EU today, but the map got a few bugs, first bug is the host gets all the names (actually, everything) bugged to PARAMS/VALUE/(some_hex_number), but everyone else in the game seems to see names just fine. The second bug is one described earlier by MapCrafter, the licker's (i think thats the name of the mob) mind control stays if its cast while mob dies. We just had to quit a game because of that.

Well, gonna play a few more rounds and see if i can find some more bugs ;)

Have fun and keep up the good work!

Update: for bug #1, its not the host, its the first player on the map. for bug #2, it happens way to often, very annoying :P

Bigger map with 2-4 player would be great :) 2-4 more heroes ? We have zeratul - tosh - nova as special heroes with diferrent appearance than normal unit, and we also have those mercenaries with great appearance ( i love firebat ! ) You can make zeratul a real super tanker , tosh or nova as support hero and firebat as crazy damage dealer..It will be great :D Well, about a new patch, i've lost few times even in normal cuz in wave 12-13 or so, 4-6 Aberration with 20k HP spawned and raped all of us :( Im crazy about ur map, play it everyday and cant stop playing..

Hi Etravex, I've been playing your game for a couple of weeks now and I just wanna say that I really really enjoy it. it is fantastic, but i still see it has much room for improvement. Here are my two-cents. It's kind of long, but I hope you'll read through all of it_{, =) ...}

When the game first came out, it was sort of a competition with your teammates to get kills so you could earn money and get upgrades. As a result, you would upgrade all your attacking skills and run around the map to get as many kills as possible. The game was dynamic in this way because you would run across the map and kill as fast as you could, competing with your teammates. Each player was almost entirely independent of the other players and, in fact, the players were fighting with each other for kills.

It seems you are going another direction by making players collaborate with each other. I like that you are enforcing a teamwork aspect by making each character class weaker offensively and instead opting to enhance their individual abilities. Sharing exp and money also encouraged team work instead of competing with team members. Strengthening the teamwork aspect of the game was definitely a great addition.

I've found, however, that this also encourages the players sit on a ledge for pretty much the whole game pumping out the same two or three abilities. Right now what i see is that the players know their role and sit tight in a corner, trying not to be overrun. While the team work aspect is a great addition, I feel much of the old, dynamic, and fast-paced action around the map has been lost in favor of a turtling defense game. I feel that the game could be suffering because of the turtling.

Why not add a few missions to complete certain rounds? Or perhaps different types of bosses that force the players to move around the map and use different strategies to defeat each type of boss? Just a few things I can think of: a flying boss that doesn't directly attack but summons flyers that explode and stun on impact. It could do poison damage or something and summon some minions that do damage as well. You could put this boss on round 5 or something in between the bigger bosses.

You could enhance the missions by, for example, making the players break targets at specified locations around the map before continuing to the next round. Or perhaps protecting an object for a certain amount of time.

I dunno, these are just a few things that come to mind. I think this game has crazzyyy potential and I'd really like to see some different ideas make the game more dynamic than it already is. Just my two-cents! Cheers.

The bug where the game won't end when all four people are incapacitated. I messaged you in game yesterday about it, it's coming to the point where you're just able to grief people who are actually playing the game at some other point in the map, to where you can get them killed over and over again. Don't really want to post how it happens here because obviously people would abuse it.
