Advent of the Zenith and Desert of Exile were pretty fun, shame they never got to be in Dota's top dog spot. Typhus733 posted:God drat that OP brings back some memories. So many late summer nights spent playing Stonghold, Bships, Pyramid Escape, Burb, and so drat many more dumb custom games. Never played any ladder what so ever but that didn't stop me from pouring endless hours into this game. I played hundreds of hours of Warcraft 3 with my friends, every friday.

Team Micro Melee's variations were so great. Spellcraft was neat too.

SirDrone posted:No mention of Metastasis, Fellowship Quest, DBZ Tribute and Jurassic Park Survival is a crime against nature. In retrospect I guess I was part of the core Parasite 2 scene. I knew DarkShoGun and whatnot, man I loved that game.  I liked Metastasis more in earlier builds when it was less like Parasite 2, though. Speaking of JPS, I had one friend who was really into it. He also LOVED SWAT: Aftermath. That could be another good game on it's own. Lacklustre Hero posted:My friends and I still meet a few times a month and dedicate a night to Warcraft 3 maps. We load up the Risk maps (used to just be the classic Europe one, but have since moved on to the World of Warcraft Risk because its loving massive in scale, options and races) and easily spend 4+ hours slugging it out, excessive poo poo-talking and grudge-holding a requirement. I still talk to the people in my old friday Warcraft group. We quit it like 3 years ago but I'll see if people want to play again. Could be fun.

Sorry.  Bbbut..My account was deleted.. Blizzard, you'll never recieve my business again..  I mean I could re-earn icons but when I left the game was full of hackers who wanted to show off their Archimonde/Illidan icons and I bet it'll still be bad now.

darealkooky posted:That's part of it (even if most custom maps had 50 billion different reskins of marines and arthas w/ sword), but the real thing is that wc3 has the ability to load in custom models. It's a little ironic how Blizzard trying to get their fingers in the UMS pie killed UMS.

I can't remember what it was called but there was an insane chinese custom in the vain of Dota that was everything x1000. IMBA WArs I think? There was stuff like a mortar team who could shoot across the entire map, a Lich who revived every dead creep on the map as a skeleton for a passive, an Infernal who had Reign of Chaos that was cast 20 times at once, and a Goblin who could drain all your gold. It was great.  Some of the guys weren't OP enough to be useful but usually matches went back and forth. None of the abilites or items had tooltips so it was a lot of fun figuring out just what that button you pressed may have done. (it makes you win 5 minutes after casting it)

angry climber posted:One of my favorite customs is where you play a rifleman and the goal is to snipe your opponents. One shot kills. Your point of view is "locked" behind the rifleman, making it essentially a 3rd person shooter. Elimination Tournament?

Just buy a new, dirt cheap copy? CD key gens are problematic because the keys rarely work in the first place so you need to spend forever trying to get a working one. If you at least get a legit copy you can complain to Blizzard and they'll deal with it. schmitty9800 posted:You'll be able to with an optimized build order. Download a replay from here http://www.wcreplays.com/page.php?section=replays and take a look at what they build and when. Also micro is god in warcraft 3. I miss melee. It was a nice balance between Brood Wars and SC2 for me. BW was fun but I couldn't get into how hard it was, SC2 just isn't fun.

Also DotA 2 reborn's client is insanely bad right now. If there's another custom night it'd be smart to throw up some game DL links beforehand.

This might be a dumb question but what were the things that were supposed to be changed and weren't? I hadn't paid super close attention to this (didn't even realize it was out until like a couple of hours ago) but I sort of assumed it was just supposed to be like SC remastered but people have been complaining about things not being changed.

I can't believe they killed OG War3 too. What the hell.Chaitai posted:So what's to stop all these copyright-infringing custom map makers from renaming the copyrighted characters to something just slightly different? Goku becomes Guko and things like that? Wouldn't that let them keep the maps in the game? Add a little disclaimer saying any relation to characters real or fictional is purely happenstance? Because nobody wants to play as Guko, so what's the point? uniball posted:yes, if you have a version that’s integrated with the modern bnet launcher (i forget whether this started in 1.28 or 1.29), the launcher will automatically nuke your classic install when it “updates”. if you have a pre-bnet2 version, you can just not upgrade and enjoy single player. i also have a 1.30 PTR version installed that works just fine offline I guess if you have a disk you can probably use that too? It killed my old install, at any rate. No option not to. It's also like 30 gigs now which is lol, so much for having it on my laptop too or anything.

I tried starting classic War3. "There was an error handling the request" The play offline option was greyed out. The game then crashed. GOAT.

OG War3 is now completely unplayable for me. A game I was given when I was about eight.Asema posted:you don't have to consistently remind everybody how you are not "disastrously offended" by the poo poo game and how much enjoyment you are getting out of the asset flip, you can just...post the funny joke. This is the same dumbass who felt the need to tell everyone to gently caress off if they didn't believe the original campaign wasn't significantly better in reforged.

Stevefin posted:After seeing a snippet of the new terms and service that came out with reforged, I would love to see them trying to enforce the part where the customer waves away all their rights and morality, and if your law protects you, you wave your rights to this law and supersede those laws. IIRC it's mostly to scare people because you can't legally sign away your rights with an EULA in any country. Could be wrong though. Also kind of funny: Having a TFT but no RoC key assigned to my account is what means I suddenly can't play War3 anymore. I don't have my old War3 cd case anymore so I suddenly can't play it without buying it again. little munchkin posted:yea the lack of ranked mm is insane considering the playerbase currently consists of blizzard fans completely new to the game and people who have been playing for 20 years straight yeah lol needing 34 gigs or whatever for war3 classic is amazing.

Disargeria posted:Okay yeah those are great ideas and all but other than WC3 which remasters haven't turned out well? Not counting like, low effort upscaling patches or something I think almost every remade game has been positively received Depends on how broad a scale you're talking here. WC3 is the only one that actively made the original worse afaik, however.

time for a joke posted:i forget the name of it (dota 2? probably not) but there was one where one team had their base in the middle of the map in like a snow/ice island and the other team was around the outside The one with three lanes? Same guy made a dota styled map about sieging a city? Forget the name but it was cool. TGG posted:I was always a huge fan of Advent of the Zenith, some crazy fun heroes in there and it was more in the tides of blood format. Tons of custom assets in it too, though I don't remember it being played a ton. Man I remember that. Desert of Exile, too. I wasn't a huge fan but I was in the clan with the guy that made it for awhile, there were some real characters. now I'm sad.

weird how SC1 had 2 good remasters and wc3 cant manage one.jokes posted:There was a map where you picked a tank model and loaded up with specific weapons, and they would do things like automatically fire at dudes in range or allow you to shoot a big rear end bomb or you could load up on extra armor plating or faster engines. Instead of a tank you could pick an airship that was very fast, but was much less sturdy than other vehicles, etc. Some models had less than 6 slots available but made up for it in other ways. Battletanks, as well as the spinoff battleships. I played both quite often with friends growing up. Good times. There was also that one I mentioned where you had a base on a hill for one team and a timer, and the other team had to siege it with three lanes (but then a fourth one opened up later)
