Bring back Patch 1.31. Now

Wrong. Old “widescreen support” only stretched the textures wich looked and felt awfully bad.
Best we could go was the middle picture here

Since when are you playing for not knowing this if I may ask?

No. People complained about some games being unplayable bad but it is good since months now. You had 250+your own ping in every game back then. Today Grubby (NL) played against Insub (CA) with a 60ish ping (on both ends) and ~20 in EU. Unthinkable back then.

The “LV” versions of some maps and new maps?

The loot table is telling creep camps what item is allowed to drop and it got changed twice since 1.29

People always complained about balance and it will never stop. But if you ask anyone better than a 20% Win rate player, the current balance is the best we ever had with more variety for every race

Big words for someone seemingly not having a clue of WC3.

I didn’t defend anything but only tried to show you what was wrong witch YOUR statement, that Reforged didn’t add anything good, wich is obviously false. I never said that the current state is superb…

If you think being rational and fair is something bad, please go ahead and insult me more.
Trust me, I don’t give a damn about insults from people arguing like Trump

Edit: Oh, I forgot about this

Still wrong. Sorry. IIRC even in Beta this was possible
I made a Video only for you

You need internet access every thirty days just to play offline. That’s still too much internet being required just to play the damn thing.

30days = always on. Got ya

Wrong, people still today suffer from horrible pings in custom games and even Grubby mentioned that recently (1-2 weeks ago). He played a game in W3Champions against some other EU player and both got 200+ms ping.
And I experience this myself at least in ~25% of my games I host because a wrong (far away) server was chosen by the system.
Tbh I’m fed up with how Blizzard treats WC3.

I should have said “better”. You are right. But I also said:

Wich doesn’t make it wrong since the guy I commented to was saying that Prereforgeds ping of 250+ (in every game) was better than now.

Where are you from? I can’t confirm the number tbh. I mostly play custom games too and had only ping issues in the first some weeks of Reforged but not since ages. Hopefully it will get fixed for ya

Oh frak off if you’re going to just misconstrue everything I say simply because you disagree with it.

Any sort of re-authentication is unacceptable. Games as a service is unacceptable.

That is ridiculous considering that it applies to the whole game, Reforged or not. At least with Starcraft Remastered they only required that for remastered features like the HD models, you know actual new stuff that you had to pay for. But here they effectively added an online connection requirement for a game that didn’t have it (for versions 1.32 and higher).

I know that Warcraft 3’s base game didn’t go free like with Starcraft, but why should you have to re-authenticate at all just to play single player or LAN on a game from 2003? Shouldn’t a registered CD key and possibly a one-time authentication when you install it be enough for that? Otherwise keep the authentication for updates and online play only.

Of course you could always play a version older than 1.32 for single player or LAN.

Which is exactly what we want but Blizzard refuses to provide.

I mean there not even anymore stand alone patches for anything beyond 1.27b

1.27b is a good version and one I still use, because it’s practically the same as the last original version (1.26), but with some compatibility updates for modern systems. Classic Warcraft III --- Official Installers - Official Patches

But I know many people want a later non-reforged version than that such as for actual widescreen support or 24 players/colors. You can actually install a backup copy of such a version, but you may have to delete Reforged and block it from automatically updating to Reforged. There’s a link from that thread on how to do it for v1.31.1: _Patch 1.31.1 Backup Files | HIVE

Yeah sadly this is only in English, or better said I do not get to work it starting in my native language german. This is why I still head desk myself.

You type pretty good English for someone who’s not a native speaker, if that helps any.

Hell you type better English than most native speakers I know.

Thank you very much. On my last chat with two repourters from Ireland in a coffee house in vienna they wanted to know where my english teacher is from and one said he wished he could one day speak as good german as I speak english. I talked to them originally because their english sounded so awesome like the one from my teacher back then so I whas curious where they are from.

Anyway back to topic I did it. I got it to work with not following the instruction of doing a clean install. So right now it is working beside Reforged and I even got the german language back. Now I can go to bed in peace.

Oh ok, so you don’t need to delete Reforged. It could be Reforged that defaulted your language to German, but the tutorial in the link did say that “the game might launch using the language of your operating system”.

Yeah but when I did a clean install it did not used the german language. Neither did it when I only deleted the document folder from Reforged while Reforged whas on the not connected external harddrive right now. Only when I did it while Reforged whas active now from the external hard drive (or just letting the document folder there) it worked for me taking over german language.

And now I have the first bug. Shamans decide to only talk english.
:disappointed:

And now I plead Blizzard please give us the option to download 1.31.1 again.

Here please go this way: Classic Warcraft III --- Official Installers - Official Patches
But sadly 1.31.1 is still not official available again so please for the sake of your community just give them back the Classic PTR for 1.31.1 again for all those singleplayer lover.

Because 1.27 improved compatibility with Windows 7+ and is still to get via Stand Alone Patcher. That is similar to why people want 1.31.1 back. Because it added 64bit support and made the resolution be available in Native Widescreen instead of only stretched.

  1. I wrote Windows 7+ because it whas shorter then Windows 7, 8 & 10.
  2. And I wrote exactly that Patches are still easily availabe up to 1.27b.
  3. And I stated that there whas a difference in Graphic between Stretched and Native. Here is a link from User Flawaffles on post 41 that demonstrate what the difference is between stretched Widescreen until 1.30.4 and Native Widescreen on Patch 1.31: _www.readmore.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/4122.jpg

Well lucky for you that on your Windows 10 computer 1.26 runs fine. On mine it has problems if I try the version below 1.27.
We have only a sample group of two with different views.
And from what I see is that you think what is written in the Patchnotes is just written for fun

I am talking about what stands in the Patchnotes and to 1.27a it statest that there whas improved a compatibility for Windows 7,8 & 10 where you stated that it did not _https://wow.gamepedia.com/Warcraft_III/Patch_1.27a
