PTR 1.30.2 Updated

General Discussion
104

Could you please change Alchemist, perhaps back to the old one? I know you are trying, and some overall changes so far are pretty good, but I cannot stand watching him - and KOTG - on almost every single game

Hi,
PTR Patch notes says that there should be EU server.
I have only US in the list. Tried reinstalling ptr - didn’t help.
Does anybody see EU server?

106

It’s been already said. Just join the US server, you will be automaticly redirected to EU server on the background.

" Mark Chandler
Still connect to the same US gateway just the game server will be in EU if it has lower ping"

How about this idea?
Instad of nerfing keeper and other “op” heroes, just buffer other heroes from other races that don’t feel like strong, and make the game EVEN more hero focused?

108

I think what u re trying to achieve already exists… it’s called moba.

Hey Gonzo, hmmmm… I actually just used the installer which I downloaded from the account management site to get WC3 installed. Nothing special. That was with patch 1.28 I think. Maybe the installer at that time still supported OS X 10.11 and maybe the new installer doesn‘t. I know that Blizzard stopped to support OS X 10.10 with (I think) patch 1.29.

Maybe a clean install could help?

If you then still got problems, you maybe want to try installing the windows version of the game by using Wineskin. Before Blizzard started to support and patch Warcraft 3 again (before patch 1.28) I was running Warcraft 3 that way because the old installers would not run on Intel Macs anymore.

If you are interested, you will find some infos and help here:

Use the links without the x in front.

I hope this may help.

Cheers Yiria

Thanks, somehow missed that

What’s with the crying about KOTG? Are we going to pretend other races don’t go with a certain hero 90% of the time? Humans/AM, Orc/BM, UD/DK.

KOTG is not OP. Nightelves just have a clear winner at a #1 hero like the other races do. Roots is a good spell, duh. But so is Windwalk, Coil, and Blizzard. Treants aren’t good until T2 update. Yes, you actually have to research a 150g, 200w update to make a summoned unit worthy. Treants don’t compare to Elementals or Wolves. And Throns is the second worse auro in the game.

And hunts certainly aren’t OP. A couple of piercing damage units, and those things are toast. And being a 3 food unit and squishy , they are an easy XP builder. Personally, I love when an NE goes hunts. A couple of towers and piercing units, and they are useless. And it’s especially easy when they go all in on a hunt rush, because then it’s wicked easy to wipe them out with T2 units.

wait theres an upgrade from huntress hall that affects treants? Has this always been a thing? I know I never play night elf but I had no idea lmao

I think, most players struggle with the level 1 entangle, the easy pick offs and the map controll that the keeper gains early on, that is not entirly exclusive to the keeper, but the pressure that entangle offers is kinda uniqe, because there is no way to counter or dispell it until you invest gold into a shadow priest and that comes with risks and investments. Meanwhile there can still an expansion going up somewhere on the map, and its gonna be tough to punish it when there are also treants around. For now, I just wanna suggest to nerf the level 1 entangle, the duration mainly, so the spell could accelerate better over the levels and to to make it a little bit tougher to trade autoattacks and focusfire early on.

Its an update at the Tree of Ages/Eternity. Yes, you’d be surprised how many people play NE and don’t realize there is an update there. It updates NE building armor and KOTG’s treants.

IIRC, NE are the only race that have a hero impacted by an upgrade, which is just laughable.

People are complaining about HU being weak in this patch but that’s not really HU problem. Before they had one out of three bad matchups - vs UD. After 1.30 they have 2 - UD and NE. Blizzard MUST heavily nerf NE and it will be fine. With Human buff they will mess up the game even more.

Glaive Throwers, Huntresses, Mountain Giants, KotG, Alchemist - all of these must get meaningful change.

Please fix NE in the first place as this is the main problem of current balance. Then work on other changes like balancing HU-UD matchup. And please do it wisely… no more 13 buffs on T1 and 40% damage buff.

I can’t download the new patch from here:

https://www.battle.net/download/getInstallerForGame?os=win&locale=enUS&version=PTR&gameProgram=WARCRAFT_3

its super slow or it just stops, is there a mirror? Idk if this is considered a cloud download but it’s definitely at tortuga speeds and I have fiber optic.

Where are the bot worshippers who said that custom games will die when bots are gone? Just look at the cg list. It is literally exploding !

Thank you Blizzard, you revitalized the custom game scene and you got rid of the robotic pest! Kudos to the Wc3 Classic team!

BLIZZARD, WE CANT DOWNLOAD THE PATCH, IT"S STUCK AND iT"S NOT WORKING. PLEASE PROVIDE MIRROR LINKS.
