Also his art site had quotes like 'Words of Wisdom: "Dump that Bitch!

Bog standard nerd fash through and through. Even the name 'Sons of the Storm' sounds like a far-right boy's club.

I can't find it now, but they got into trouble in Germany years ago (at Gamescom?), because they wanted to use a nazi-adjacent slogan for WoW, during the Warlords expansion iirc. Something like "blood and soil"? My google-fu is bad.

As you approach, Arthas and Kel-Thuzad will be warped into the arena (due to a cutscene) vs. Antonidas +units, kill the first wave, focus Antonidas on the second wave, and the mission is over. There are no defenses, at all, on the north of the map. You don’t even need to enter the city, and only the fight is within the degen field. lmao

Just like PUBG before it, the most fun you can have with your friends online happens to also be a broken piece of garbage.

Lack of ladder does suck, but it probably helps TOWA get funnier matches in the short term. Long-term hard-core WC3 players will get way angrier than random WoW pubs.

So based off of videos I've been seeing on YouTube, I guess Blizzard isn't too diligent about the EULA with custom games because as long as you don't label the game as "pimp my peon" then they don't know you're breaking the EULA. great job, great job

the games keep rolling in i have the flu so i was up at 5am eastern to play some nice morning games with my eurofriends. first, we had a fastclick stranglethorn where there was nonstop action straight from heroes coming out until main mines ran out. this is the game the video iggy linked above is from. Replay | VOD then we had a nice hourlong birthday bash for our birthday boy Mata. we had races unbecoming of a perch and the enemy DK got the blink dagger so we were stuck on the ground on this upking. but it was still a delight. kind of the inverse of the first game - that was nonstop tier 1 early game play all game, this one was 30 straight minutes of lategame antisiege until their spirits were broken. Replay | VOD for this next one i have to rewind a bit because i don't think i posted it here. a couple weeks ago, Iceberg-Slim and i had an extreme 2s game on Centaur Grove versus a decent duo. it went for 90 minutes and we nearly lost it multiple times but eventually pulled it off at the very last second. i'm talking level 10 warden and death&decay killing everything while we repeatedly fall back to backup tower blocks. the talkative guy on the other team, cdawg3x, took offense to me calling him an owned racist noob and after they lost he chatted with me for a while about how it's actually good and correct to say racist stuff. anyway, this evening we're queuing for 4s and i notice that cdawg is doing so as well. what do you know, we ran into him! this game had some of the best chat we've gotten in a while. Replay | VOD quote:(29:12 / All) Vee: adding every one of you to my tk list oh yeah we didn't VOD it but this game was pretty close and we supposedly got reported for our "tact"

lmao if you test a map in the editor and then try to exit the game from the main menu it throws an error because you're offline but also using an unregistered profileCyberPingu posted:Well Blizzard did shut down the guys trying to remake SC in the SC 2 engine via the map creator. And WC3 iirc. Uhhh, what? Mass Recall is still going, last I checked. Or were you talking about something else? Edit: I looked into it and... you're pretty wrong, overall. The only limitation against using Blizzard assets in SCII is remaking campaign maps or Nova: Covert Ops maps (because those are paid content) and the only "import projects" that Blizzard has canceled are based on things that Blizzard itself doesn't own, like Barcraft or whatever that Age of Empires copy was.

So might have changed since then but it wasn't mass recall. That came about later. It might have been WC3, not SC now that I think about it. gently caress knows how they were doing it. I really wish the guy that was making that SC MMO in SC2 was still going as well, that looked really fun. CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Feb 9, 2020 |

I don't understand the custom maps debate, what rights did people have to WC3 maps before reforged? People seem to be under the impression that maps with copyright infringing material was allowed before but uhh.. that can't really be the case, can it?

Fair enough, you hosted the maps on your own machine before. I still don't think you were allowed to host copyright infringing material but now it's probably blizzard's problem to a greater extent. That's tricky though because being able to host custom games is one of the few things reforged brings to the table, and I think people who haven't played WC3 for a while forget just how big of a pain in the rear end the port forwarding thing was. I don't think DotA would have turned out different post-reforged, it's pretty difficult to sue someone for copying gameplay concepts and balance.

So there is matchmaking and an MMR for solo queue at least, which is nice. You can type !mmr in game to see. (Source: Mata) 3k appears to be the max and it definitely appears flawed, but it's not pure random at least. 1500 is what reddit seems to think is the base starting point. 1st_Panzer_Div. fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Feb 9, 2020 |

KrunkMcGrunk posted:wow, they actually put out a patch Hey, you're right. I didn't notice but there was indeed a 1.32.1 patch a few days ago. Patch notes: Blizzard posted:Campaign Some of these are a bit vague: "Adjusted animations" (Framerate changes, missing animations restored, which units/buildings?) "Tweaked some mission cutscenes" (This could mean a whole lot of different things) "The rendering has been updated" (...okay) The temporary fix for Classic backgrounds is also really cool. Now every Classic player will have these ugly, washed out sepia backgrounds forced on them. At least the instant defeat bug is gone. Progress!
