i love me some warcraft 3! hell yeah!

a few things about the current state of war3 (maybe later i'll make a more concise post):
1) everybody maphacks at this point. nobody on blizzard's end gives a poo poo about the game and there probably haven't been any bans since at least 2011. drophacks also are common but you'll only get that maybe once every 10-15 games.
2) it's nearly impossible to find a game of 3v3 or 4v4 AT unless you search on northrend during the morning or early afternoon east coast time. 2v2 you can find on northrend or azeroth very easily, but it's a really boring gametype. RT and solo you can probably find anywhere, FFA is a dead game type (nothing new here).
3) war3 custom games are still way better than sc2, although sc2 has tron bikes and soccer is pretty tight. it's just really really hard to get a game going because if you host something, you're going up against bots and all that poo poo. i've had success playing sheeps vs creeps lately but no luck with enfos as of yet

hey dogs, it's me, timg. if you like our new influx of games readily available on our site (YouTube -- Highperch also don't forget to check in for our streams by clicking the TV icon on the 'per.ch!) then please support us in our effort to get W3Arena to host a 3v3/4v4 ladder.

http://tft.w3arena.net/community/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1514

this is a thread where an admin stated they don't necessarily have the resources at the moment to justify implementing these ladders, but if the support is there then perhaps they'd do it.

take a couple of minutes to create an account and post in this thread! it doesn't have to be a big thing (though that would be nice), just a few simple words could help out a lot.

It's a 14 year old game where a lot of nostalgia is tied to dumb broken custom maps. I don't know what you want - were not getting patch notes anytime soon.

1v1?

Did you highperch folks get burnt out again? I was really enjoying the replays that were being posted.

half burnt out, half hard to find games (which i guess adds to being burnt out). we played one yesterday. it wasn't very interesting, though maybe bear_and or blinn could post the replay

Any luck withthe Asian servers? I would expect a sizeablr Chinese/Korean population would still play.


Rememeber when we used to make fun of dota players? Now I play it and long for the warcraft days

3v3/4v4 was never big on kalimdor, they all play 1v1/2v2 on netease or w3arena or whatever

that game was absolutely settled the moment they stopped attacking my expansion on bottom, probably before that point as well

gotta say, i went from being a huge fan of orc orb to thinking it's actually bad for our strat. picking off single units is cool and good but the real poo poo that wins you games is hero snipes. having a full duration hex (and entangle, but that's a much more specific scenario for the very rare event that the enemy is also abusing staff of save unit) is very crucial to killing the death knight and forcing the undead to rage quit. purge orb is just bad news for that imo

completely depends on the situation. bloodmage for perches, archmage for being all over the map constantly, tc/mk for having to fight their heroes

This is probably a weird question but back when DotA was still the big game but not the only game in custom lobby, wasn't there a DotA variant? I think it was on an snowy map or something. I don't remember much about it (whatever it was) and my quick search for dota on a map site returned over 1000 versions, presumably balance tweak variations.

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

i was really holding out hope for a long time but it's clear that reforged is a big stinky doo doo at this point and i'm pretty sure blizzard will soon or has already abandoned doing anything with this other than a 1 time cash grab (that they hosed up real bad)
