Does Blizz still... care for warcraft 3?

[Ninja_sheep]

Well, at least a little as it looks.
Some guys made a petetition against tiehacking on b.net forums.

It took quite a wile. But after half a month Blizzard actually reacted!

At post #34.

Just a few month... and then... maybe :O

I'm sure they do. Just not as much as they used to.
Once SC2 comes out, Wc3 will hardly get updates and stuff

 

[Jaujarahje]

I don't think they care all that much, if they truly cared alot there would probably be more updates and the stupid ads would all get pulled off (you know the ones that say STARCRAFT2 Demo)
Especially with 3 games announced in production they are focused on those not on wc3
well thats just my opinion anyway

 

[w/e]

I'm sure that blizzard doesn't support the sc2 demo ads.

if they didnt care then they would have removed the cd key need for bnet, which if they did would make me so happy.

EDIT: i just read the posts and holy shit the people on that site have no appreciation for blizzard. srsly be happy they even made the game. all they are doing is spamming blizzard for not fixing it yet. imo they shuld stfu. imo its not blizzard not caring for wc3, its blizzard getting pissed of at people not even appreciating the fact that they even made the game and people are mass bitching them

Or they wouldn't because that means they lose money which would hinder their funding of the secret militia that's going to take over the world and turn it into a world like in The Matrix... only it'll be World of Warcraft. Unless you're bad. Then you have to play Runescape.

Wow.... I'll admit that some of the posts were a little bit idiotic, but still wow. This totally reminds of me of this girl I had in a high school government class who yelled at me for not appreciating that the government even funded our school. It was pretty funny. I tried giving you +rep because it made me laugh but I got a popup telling me no.

I'm sure WoW > Wc3
Since Wow brings the bling and wc3 the whines.
They have WoW, SCII, and D3... how are any of those more important than wc3.
I'm sure if everyone on b.net would boycott b.net, they would do something. Since they wouldn't get money from ads...

Wait a minute... people still play ladder?

I'm pretty sure WoW brings its fair share of whines.

 

[esb]

They get paid to listen to those whines though.

Money makes the difference.
Also, wc3 is pretty old. It's like asking for a new patch for wc2.

 

[Varine]

It's like asking for a new patch for wc2.

Except WC2 was released thirteen years ago; I might be wrong, but I think that's a little bit of a difference because it's cursed. Do you want to curse Blizzard by making them make patches for thirteen year old games?

 

[esb]

Wc3 is 5 years old... you might have a point

Or maybe we should stop making excuses an accept the fact that they simply don't care as much anymore. Or they have 'higher priorities'.
Maybe no one works for WC3 anymore, who knows.

 

[Varine]

Maybe they should just say leave us the fuck alone we don't care about you and the problem would be solved.

Yeah, just because this forum is mainly made of newbs that hardly reach lvl 20 it doesn't mean it's like this everywhere

I've learned to associate so many bad things with people who talk like this that it is tempting to assume these things preemptively.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

Don't get me wrong: I'm also a hardly lvl 20 reaching newbie.


Btw guys: You actually missed the topic. Though I didn't say it clearly the main news about my post was the blue post made in the thread on b.net forums I posted.

Blizz promised to do something against tiehacking.


Also some of you don't seem to know what tiehacking is and in what in what extend it is used.
tiehack = disconnects the game somehow giving you not a lose but a tie.
When playing on a certain level in AT it happens really often you get hacked. I can't tell you exact numbers but from what I heard at least around every fifth game.

 

[Romek]

I'm a level " " Peon
I never play ladder. Well, I do sometimes, but only arranged, private games.
It's all about custom games for me

 

[Jedimindtrixxx]

my brothers good, he got lvl 20 in maybe a week or less. thats not what i was getting at tho, the thing i am getting at is i never got tiehacked and neither did my bro, and my bro plays mainly AT and i mainly play solo so im not sure y you always get the tihackers. mayb its ur internet?

 

[Ninja_sheep]

Tiehack doesn't work in 1v1.
And I'm not getting tiehacked since I only play solo (played, to be more exact).

But in case you're trying to tell me tiehack doesn't exist I prove you wrong. A petetition of more then 30 forum pages sure proves the existance of it (beside countles of threads about it on ladder map forums).

 

[rover2341]

They have a hard time keeping there auto tournaments working on battle.net site. every time i go its either down or wrong. i have asked them serverl times before and they say there fixing it. but that was 6 months ago. it works some times, but currently its not.

I might have made it to top 16 but i didn't know how many points others had, so i didn't play my last game...

 

[esb]

They will do something... eventually.

And yes, tiehack does exist, and it requires arranged team (because everyone in one team has to use it)
