I tried to play this, realized you can only do matchmaking no custom vs computer or anything. I thought that was dumb since I haven't played this in at least ten years I would like to screw around and get used to again first but searched 1v1 anyway.

Got disconnected 48 seconds in so its a very good and faithful recreation of 2003 I love it.

I still to this day have no idea why I have never been able to host games in Warcraft 3, despite a relatively sophisticated understanding of networking nowadays.

There was some port-forwarding bullshit you had to do back in the day to be able to host games, but that's not true anymore. Anyone should be able to; though depending on what you're hosting and when you try, it's entirely possible that people simply might not be interested. I've had that the last few times I've tried, but I did get one or two people poking their heads in occasionally, as if reality itself was going "no, you can, you're just unpopular"

I was playing Classic TFT against a buddy the other day and still had to do the port forwarding bullshit to host the game. It could be my lovely router though (AT&T 5268ac). I was able to host after forwarding ports 6112-6119 (or the hamfisted approach of just DMZing my machine).

While a lot of games from the pre-Steam era have port forwarding issues, Warcraft 3 is by far the most notorious and issues only seem to have worsened with time.

Hell Yeah. I've been playing a lot of the WC3 reforged beta and i've come to the conclusion.. that it is actually really good. Easily the best thing to come outta blizz since Starcraft Remastered. They disabled the ability to play with classic gfx this last patch, presumably because they want to test reforged gfx only. But once they re-enable that, it'll be perfect, 5/5 stars.

the latest patch forces reforged graphics - even setting hd=0 in a read-only prefs file isn't enough to bring back my favorite cartoon guys. so we have to swamp through the soup of modern polygons. but that's ok because it's still fun

the new patch enabled a full sized map pool!! here's the list, and here are pics of all of them. we haven't played all of them yet, but there are some weird new ones - banewood bog? furbolg mountain? "Neon City"??? (designed by a guy we thrashed in a well-documented Friends game from the golden age)

immediately apparent in the new map pool is the perchability of 2v2 map "Furbolg Mountain":



hell, in the top left there's a hot meal to reward intrepid mountaineers

the game itself was a bust (we made one enemy quit from a light gork, the other was kind of creepy) but iceberg slim and i did the R&D to show that Furbolg Mountain is eminently perchable:



for vids:
here is a solid fast-click 2v2 tower game on gnoll wood
and here is a fun 3v3 game on a new map vs some sc2 players who do their best to adapt

in summary, we think this beta is going great

:hmmyes: I suppose it's worth a try, Blizzard has it as a known issue with no known solutions and so their "troubleshooting" is less than useless.

By which I mean there's no suggestions that are able to be implemented, and multiple people on their forums are having the same problem.

no doubt these multiple people on the blizzard forums are all unknowing but symptomatic carriers of a superbug borne from like ReViK'SDriverCleaner and MS.Office.2010.KMS.Clean.XpH

Have we seen any campaign stuff since they showed that awful recreation of the Stratholme cutscene?

Unless they've seriously improved that stuff there's no way I'm touching this.

One time during a presentation I had someone unfamiliar with Warcraft III raise their hand and go "Why can't the cum player's Blademaster attack the wisps?"

It took literally every bit of willpower I had to not start laughing.

What the gently caress is going on with this blademaster's balls

why does he have four of them

Edit: Apparently that just happens to all Heroes with Orb effects? How did Blizzard manage to gently caress up Orb effects? They're so goddamn simple.

Edit2: Can TOWA vids linger a bit more on Gold Lost To Upkeep tab? Seeing multiple five-figure numbers there is like doing drugs.

also sometimes there will just be a bunch of unmoving orbs hovering over the ground, presumably where a battle took place in the past.

yeah sorry i try to but i usually forget. i'll make a point of it. wish this info was exposed in the replay like it is in SC2 replays! i don't have high hopes for net new features in reforged tho.
