Warcraft 3 to get new maps, new balance patch, and more.

https://us.battle.net/forums/en/bnet/topic/20754965441

As we move forward, there will be quality of life game improvements, editor updates, new map pools, balance tweaks, and more. The recent patch was an important step in paving the way for the bigger ticket items that you all want. Please continue to give us constructive feedback, let us know where we missed, and what you want us to do!

>>
>>376965003
They're probably fucking with the game because they completely lost all knowledge of what made WC3 playable and are trying to make WC4. So they're going to tweak the game a bit, play with it, maybe stroke its cock and balls a bit before completely fucking it in its ass to see what they can learn from the experience when they make WC4. Plus if they destroy WC3 then less competition with WC4.

Are they hyping people up for War4 announce?
Looks like RTSkino is back on the menu, boys

if you could find 4v4 random matches I would play again a little, change the maps up a bit, add a new hero or two, update the graphics a bit, add a few new items, few new creep camps and critters.

$10 that they will completely break cutom maps.
Last time I checked people were using frameworks that hacked directly into game memory to provide functionality.

Yeah, that seems like a likely and sucky actual problem. I don't know how easy or if it's even possible to update a lot of the frameworks, the maps that depend on them, or if Blizzardvision would even want to try to support the kind of custom scene there once was in its modern form. That'd suck though because custom was by far the most awesome and longest last part of WC3.

Having said that I will allow myself one tiny tiny tiny it of optimism: with SC:BW Remaster they kept the exact same engine and just made an updated graphics version and made it run on modern systems, to the point where someone running free will be able to play the same game with someone running the 4k graphics pack. That kind of level of cross compat might be harder with WC3 because that's an actual 3D engine, not just sprites, it's far more complex to tinker with inherently. Still though they could have fucked SCBW:R much harder if they'd wanted and they didn't. So maybe there is some hope that WC3 might be kind of ok.

>>
>>376966786
WoW only had 2 factions for convenience. Burning Crusade was originally going to introduce a third faction led by Illidan and Kael'thas. They ended up becoming the villains of the expansion instead. But even the horde made no sense because the Forsaken were apart of it.

But Warcraft 4 probably won't happen for a while.

>Does the slower pace of battles mean you don't get instantly destroyed by people who play nothing but RTS's like in Starcraft?
Define "instantly", relatively quick rushes are still possible if you suck enough though not on BW speed exactly. It's not BW or SupCom but WC3 still has a plenty high skill ceiling and if you are bad then sure you might last much longer, but it'll just be a function of the noose tightening around your neck more slowly, simply be a delayed execution. You'll be in an effectively unrecoverable position probably before you know it if you play someone really good. So same as any other RTS try to stick to 1v1s of around your skill unless you want a challenge or are learning, or else try to stick to teams where overall skill for each is reasonably balanced.

And either way you'll have to put in a least some time to learn it to be even average-tier. It's still a full RTS, not a total casualfest.
>>
>>376968167
I never played WoW so when I started playing hearthstone I had no idea who 90% of the characters were.
If War4 assumes you know what is going in these other Warcraft games, it will be shit. A lot of us don't know what happened to arthas after he merged with the lich king.

If he scouts you and sees that you're slow he'd tower rush you within a couple of minutes. War 3 is only slowpaced when both enemies keep each other on their toes constantly, aggressively scout, attempt creepjacks and contest objectives. But that also makes it intense, so you don't notice the time passing.

Fund it
>>
>>376968167
>>376968380
Yeah, I remember being deeply into WC3 and still BW when WoW was just announced, but it never looked like something I wanted and back then I kind of assumed it'd be simply another entry in the series, this thing off to the side that could be ignored and in another 4 years or something we'd have a proper WC4 continuing things. I was fine with that. How innocent I was back then.

I have since never played WoW even once, though it's been impossible to avoid finding out about some of the bullshit in it since I don't live as a hermit. To have any hope at all though I think WC4 would need to be a clean AU break, they should just plain segment the RTS and MMO universes rather then try some awkward merger. That makes more sense anyway since the playerbases are also pretty divergent, if they want it to be awesome they should make sure each team has the power and flexibility to make it the best it can be within its own genre not be tied into some overall bloated narrative. And they do have some form for resets.

To be clear I don't expect any of that, probably they'll try to incorporate wow lore and probably it'll be shitty. I'm just saying that in principle nothing stops them from just doing WC4 directly from the end of WC3 (or with some small number of years of timegap but completely different from WoW). If they did there might still be hope if they have anyone (or can find anyone) who can do something good again and corp overlords don't fuck everything.
>>

Blizzard could have made it work if they just wrote something along the lines of how he still hates Kerrigan for what she did, but that he has also over the years come to terms with that it was due to zerg influence and not really her fault.

For whatever reason they decided to leave that out entirely though.
>>
>>376974394
>how he still hates Kerrigan for what she did, but that he has also over the years come to terms with that it was due to zerg influence and not really her fault
That's precisely what happened though. He hates the Queen of Blades, and he really hates that Kerrigan turned into her.

The writing doesn't make it clear is the issue. Wings of Liberty starts out with him missing her.

And even then he should have been a lot more furious than he was during Heart of the Swarm when Kerrigan decided it was a good idea to turn back into the beast she once was. His emotions don't make any sense given the circumstances.
>>
So apparently, Rob Pardo no longer works at blizzard (was the lead game designer) And Frank Pierce is just busy weith business (lead director)

If Warcraft 4 or Starcraft 3 comes out, are we really going to have high hopes? I mean, Pardo did completely fucking ruin WoD, so even if he was at blizzard we're not sure if it would be a decent game.

so you'd have forsaken, blood elves, night elves, etc. all off on their own, where Kalimdor humans are all alone with no relation to Stormwind, and with pockets of Lordaeron/Arathi humans struggling to survive against the growing Forsaken influence

fuckin' two factions for the purposes of gameplay ruined it all
>>
>>376984289

Why even get your hopes up like that? There's literally zero indication that Blizzard is going to abandon the lore introduced in WoW. In fact, they're doing the opposite by creating the Chronicles, which are the closest thing we've gotten to "official" lore, and it fully integrates everything introduced from WoW into the franchise's backstory. They're aren't going to do a sudden 180 and go back on all that.

>>376965003
They really should just retcon WoW. It's too much of a clusterfuck, and I think people would be happy to have Arthas/Illidan/etc back in the equation again. You could still integrate certain WoW characters, but you wouldn't be pigeonholed into the Alliance vs Horde dynamic and you wouldn't have to turn them into raid bosses.
>>
>>376987967
WoW doesn't even have an Alliance vs Horde dynamic and hasn't for ~8 years. It's just the Horde and "neutral" Horde-sympathisers.
>>
>>376988097
desu alliance vs. horde never made any sense to me after WC3

I remember seeing the promo material for WoW and it just didn't make any sense at the time

Horde and Alliance had united in fighting the burning legion, Arthas was obviously the bigger threat, there was no reason they shouldn't stay allied

Nightelves siding with humans doesn't even make any sense, there's no particular reason that NElves would be more inclined to join the alliance than the horde, I guess other than the horde are setting up camp in their front lawn. most likely they'd just be their own separate faction and still wanting everybody to fuck off.

I didn't play WoW much but I later heard that Jaina hates the Horde again and it fucking made me so mad reading about it.

>some horde people attack her village or w/e
>She decides to flood Orgrimmar, even though it was some small splinter group of the Horde
>she now hates Thrall and all the other members of the Horde she was friend with even though they had fucking nothing to do with anything

this is the most boring logic for making a character go from being the most sympathetic towards the horde to "gas the orcs now".. It just seemed like some really convoluted way to put drama into Jaina's storyline.

desu if WC4 ever came out I'd have to read through WoW's lore to catch up on the story and I would probably be mistaken for an alopecia patient afterwards, because of all the hair I ripped out

In the context of WoW it's stupider that it took as long as it did since aside from the big bads, WoW is pretty much just about the orcs and forsaken fucking over the Alliance races while they just sit there and take it.

And Jaina gets pissed off because she keeps trying to be neutral even though the Horde keeps doing shit and then they use a magic nuclear bomb on Theramore.
>>

Don't forget that Theramore happened after Garrosh executed a general for killing non-combatants.

It wasn't possible because the warcraft lore + design was to good.
Also warcraft had some strong rpg elements :

Starcraft 2 engine getting old and starts showing its performance problem in custom games, why update to it?
They should make a new engine with all the modern rendering solution like instancing, better culling, better shader optimization, deferred rendering etc etc.
>>
>>376993609
>It might just not be possible.
has everything to do with the implementation of maps ingame. not only that but the dota 2 editor is too complicated for 99% of people. also dota 2 is not an rts and doesn't involve building things so for custom maps which involve building an entirely new ui has to be made around them.
>>
>>376972301
They are still slowly working on it according to their FB page.
>>
>>376994181
I dont know. I would assume though that they would expand on what's there and make triggers more versatile. Maybe add some scripting. As long as they dont fuck around with the little menus full of units and the user friendly UI it should be k.
But its blizzard so they will probably fuck it up
>>
>>376993887
Sadly this. Valve is lazy/unmotivated to keep the map editor consistent instead of just rewriting everything. Its a small miracle there are -still- people working with the dota 2 map editor. Element TD is still the best thing on it.

>Dota 2 should have been made by Blizzard, but these guy were so greedy that they didn't care at all and were focused on their milky cow (WoW), that spending a penny on Icefrog was too much.

>>
>>376996005
I suppose a tag system would make sense, if it were limited to 5 tags to stop people from filling it with literally every tag. Partial search might help too.

But ultimately it lists EVERY hosted game (on your selected bnet server) by Title, Map, Playercount, Tags, and Ping to host.

wc3 was never as well balanced as BW at a pro level. Orcs were nearly unstoppable and most games were decided by one battle because if a hero got to level 6, it was more or less game over.

Reminder that DOTA was a laughably bad map made by some kids without much idea about game design, balance and synergy between the skills and mechanics of a character. Yet it spread like cancer and killed our beloved game. This is what the majority wants.

Ghoul: 120 gold, 340 HP, 0 armor, 13 avg damage
Acolyte: 75 gold, 220 HP, 0 armor, 9.5 avg damage

Warcraft 3 also screwed up AI targeting wherein if a worker unit (wisp, peon, peasant, or acolyte) was in targeting range and a non-worker unit was in range that the unit would ALWAYS ignore the worker unit. This included if you have "attack moved" the unit.

In team games, you'd just have the undead player spam necropolis and pump out acolytes to be "front liners" in team battles. Anything behind them would have them as a wall, such as allied units. The enemy team would have to physically target each one of them in big fights while it screwed up their pathing.

He's the ultimate harasser, you can generally skip the beginning creep grinding period and instead go kill steal creeps and items, kill off wounded units, harass peasants etc.

But you need good micro-management and know how to use the item shop if you really want to be good with him

>>
>>377006338
due how clunky units are manually controlling individual units can get you some great returns. Point and clicking peasants is just stupid. You do it every game so its easy to improve upon.
