When WoW came out I had a perfectly cromulent experience playing through WC3 again with invincibility cheat. You get the same story and all the fun of base building so that's the path I'd recommend for people who like RTSes but aren't very good at them. (not trying to be snide here, I'm not great at them either.)

Update to the latest version of WC3 (1.24?) and you can choose widescreen resolutions.

Or just use a Mac where every games was always widescreen/high res enabled. :woz:

You can run War3 singleplayer on current OS X but not multiplayer.

What's the problem you're getting when you download it? Is the problem that the installer is PPC only?
Unfortunately in that circumstance you will need to install it in Sheepshaver and then copy it to your computer then update it to an Intel compatible build.

virtually every change they made was bad (they hired a designer from command and conquer to lead which is the weirdest to me).

The fact that they keep hiring these lead designers from other franchises has to be weird.

1) Blizzard the company has incredibly low self-esteem
2) They don't actually enjoy playing their own games or understand why people like them?
3) It must suck to be a mid-level employee in Blizzard and keep seeing this outside "talent" being hired above you

LOMA, please.

MOBA makes no sense because that describes literally every game ever. (Plus why does a LOMA need to be online?)
FARTS doesn't really make sense because it's not strategic, and doesn't really have any RTS elements besides.

I think it was 1.26 that added widescreen/high resolutions for poverty windows users, so it's been a while.

Nope (which was actually fairly annoying at the time.)

By the way, if you check the replies someone worked out this is why Hearthstone crashes a while after you buy something.

did any mobas even attempt to deviate from the 3 lane, corner bases format?

Demigod had some good ideas and I think may even have been the first of the DOTAlikes to hit full commercial release but whiffed badly.

None of you have played WoW in like 10+ years and it shows lol. You went from being the commander of the alliance/horde expedition to being the leader of all (your class here) to bring the champion of Azeroth in the last three expansions. It loving sucks and everyone wants to go back to being a nobody, but when you were a nobody everyone jerked off snarky forum posts that were like “oh mr new expansion npc you don’t who Ia m???? I, god killer Xarthasxx???” There’s no pleasing people.

Like almost everything, the people who complain about being the leader of the world's problems aren't the same people who complain about being a nobody picking through piles of poo for quest items.

The current system of your character being an unofficial enforcer for your faction leaders seems OK.
