The Decline of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne

[punwisp]

clan kiwi annoys me.

Try looking for glory of the horde games. Its not a half-bad map. Has a hostbot or two for it.

omg, what happend to you?

 

[ElderKingpin]

well. its been a while. and ive seen decent clans using hostbots to host real games. Enfos.. etc. And enfos actually fills up fast.

I would love to host. But my internet is fail.

Now my internet is no longer fail. but my hard drive failed so i cant play BNET:banghead:

If you use Vista try rightclicking and choose "Run as Administrator"
That wroks for me.

DotA is dying, but the issue is that smaller, high-quality maps are not getting publicity. How many players visit WC3C or Hive regularly? I think if there were some way to create large amounts of publicity for maps like RoW and AotZ.

And hell, I'd be really happy if Megalith and Enmity Campaign were updated for the patch and rebalanced/redone. Megalith especially. I wanted to see that terrain again, and the ideas for heroes were just awesome, though the skills don't quite stand up to current standards.

It's unfortunate that Battle.net has been 'polluted' like this.

It's just because Blizzard has basically ignored it; they never really maintained it much since WoW came out... now they really don't at all.

 

[Lyerae]

omg, what happend to you?

HavenCraft fell? (Joking)
It isn't a half-bad map at all. I personally think Panther can't map at all, but Glory of the Horde I can stand playing every once-and-awhile.

> It's just because Blizzard has basically ignored it; they never really maintained it much since WoW came out... now they really don't at all.

And why would they care? They made their money off of Warcraft III, and now they're making it off of World of Warcraft.
Yeah, they're updating it now, but only because of SC2 and Diablo 3.

Ugh. If I try and join a game and everything goes greyish, I just Alt+F4 right away. Sometimes you sit there forever waiting for it to tell you that you can't join. I hate that so much

Yes! That is the most annoying part of bnet.

 

[adeoin]

would it be possible to revive the western channel with a clan that makes new maps and hosts them with actual players?

 

[Varine]

We're hoping EoE revives it a bit but I doubt it will.

 

[adeoin]

EoE? Idk what that is, but I'm currently remaking footies

Warcraft IV - The Edge of Eternity

 

[Varine]

Edge of Eternity....

 

[adeoin]

oh never actually followed their progress.

Related to the Dota discussion, I've seen my bro play a Dota-Based game, which is an entirely not-part-of-warcraft-3 game, which you only play Dota. What's this called?

 

[Kurogamon]

which is an entirely not-part-of-warcraft-3 game, which you only play Dota. What's this called?

That's extremely confusing, what?

 

[azareus]

That would be HoN i suppose.

 

[Kurogamon]

HoN, and there were like two or three similiar standalone copies of DotA around.

AoS's seem to just be a really good idea.

Anyways, Edge of Eternity, is it going to use the WC3 engine?

 

[Varine]

Yeah, it's basically an expansion of The Frozen Throne. Should have new online play, new editor, new everything basically.

 

[Kurogamon]

New editor?

 

[Varine]

Yeah, not much of one since no one wants to deal with making anything like new natives that the project isn't using, but it'll incorporate all of our new systems for further map making to be compatible with the online play.
