1.30.3 PTR Notes

Can blizzard STOP listening to money leeching insects like b2w.neo tod etc and just RECOVER the perfectly fine game which we had in version 1.28 ? We could finelly play our solo games, 2v2, 4v4, custom games, host bots, AT, RT etc. Balance was fine, everything was fine. You BROKE the game for the cause of providing some “content” for e-beggers. The balance since version 1.29 is GARBAGE. And the functionality of the wc3 client is GARBAGE aswell.

Honestly; the best times of wc3 were when blizzard left in untouched around version 1.26~1.28. “Reviving” a game by breaking it is just terrible.

This completely solved our problem with not being able to play AT: https://www.reddit.com/r/WC3/comments/a6jp5l/how_to_get_at_to_work/

It’s quite a shame that is has to be this hard to get AT working, but this guide helps for now at least.

Thx to u/PeterMcBeate from reddit.

Please add a little message when someone leaves a game. Sometimes you only notice people leaving after a few minutes have passed.

Nah thanks man. Orc is still stupid hard to deal with as undead, dont looking forward to revert it to the old insane state. The game wasnt balanced all to well before. When nightelf is brought back in line and human buffed a bit, it will look better than ever.

Human is unplayable against undead! bring the 5 seconds for militia back! And balance this mu further because it’s imbalanced since the beginning. hu is weak against ud, it’s a fact

are you retarded? how is blizzard listening to TOD? TOD thinks the balance was better at 1.28, so you agree with him. I think same goes for b2w. And your upvoters are probably just rightclicking idiots which just want their 2 agi back

It’s nice to nerf units that are OP but Blizzard forgot to buff NE units that noone ever makes. That is all heroes other than keeper, bears. hyppo riders…

I liked it when they killed bots. A lot of hacks were done by downloading wrong maps and …

I’m more in favor of Blizzard have it’s own bots to create and host lots of fun and standard maps, like Dota which I still prefer playing it in WC3 format and graphics :slight_smile:

obs you have never watched a pro scene game play… please stop basing things on your poor micro vs an mk on this feed. last thing we need is more nerfs on mk.

Stop nerfing roots. It has been the same for almost a decade. People who say it’s OP don’t know what they are talking about. The issue was the Treants buff and mana reduction, giving KOTG ability to use multiple spells especially with moonwell update. You should address these before you nerf roots.

Human can play against UD in 2 ways:

  • 1 tower against early skeleton rush and go T2 asap, rifle and try to defend UD’s 50 push with 3-4 rifles and lvl1mk
  • lots of towers and it can stop UD’s 50 army push but you wont have army and UD will creep the whole map and just crush you in army vs army fight because tanks are not an option any more.

This MU has been, is, and going to be a joke without serious changes.

Thanks a lot for the update!
I know it is hard to do balance things with a game like warcraft III, and it will always be on the processing i think.
However, another thing is also important: to make all units at least USEABLE.
It’s depressing that when you want to use some units like orc’s Witch doctor, heroes like Crypt Lord.
Being Interesting is always more important than being balanced as it is a GAME!
Absolutly balanced game only comes with symmetrical confrontation.So, please, don’t make NERF things, make those bad ones USEABLE!

Please add a custom lobby game list that you can detach and view while in a lobby or especially, in channel, so you can contact with your friends… Alternatively, you could just make it in a browser again before you needlessly removed that from bot functions. It needs to be replaced, ASAP.

I agree.
Instead of nerfing keeper of the grove, i Just wished they would buffed some other heroes like Paladin.
Paladin could be a good hero potentially, buff ms.

[Replay Compatibility Feature Request]

Please make the game able to play .nwg replay format, currently the game can only play .w3g replay file.

Btw, Warcraft 3’s replay requires the player to have the same map as the replay file used, please solve this issue. Starcraft 1 can play any replays even if you do not have the map being used by the replay file.

Mass MG´s are quite too strong so the player will need longer time to get “many” of them now, KOTG root cast range nerf & Alchemist Acid Bomb dmg nerf also good.

i like this balances!
