[Ninja_sheep]

Blizzard said they're just fixing bugs and then it comes out!

there's a lot of arguments regarding this as a joke or not...

one interesting point is that the updates are too lame, we waited more than a year for this thing.

 

[Daskunk]

"I do not know if there will be additional changes added to 1.22, but I do know that 1.22 was originally larger, but was broken up into two updates, in order to get the first patch out sooner. There is another patch being worked on which follows up on 1.22."

Thank you Karune.

Perhaps you can answer one final question?

Will the AMM changes which fix search times be released in this patch or tested on the test realm?

All I know is that the second patch will focus more on Battle.net than it will on balance.

The changes acually sound pretty good; just some things that also needed to be changed were not. They might be in the patch following .22...

Looks fine and real to me.

Beware, 4/1/2008..

Looks fine and real to me.

Except that the balance changes are the complete opposite to what blizzard have stated before

I like the ones dealing with items for the custom maps

Hax! An update?! On a sidenote, they use a chat command to toggle minimap pings, which seems kinda rushed and lazy. If they actually gave a damn about WarCraft they'd make it an option in the menu. Chances are they lost their sourcecode for that though when they went around burning every file on their computers without the words "world" and "warcraft" in the same name.

So when will we get that "filter DotA" feature again?

The test server Westfall is up.

^About Westfall on Wc3c:

[benj_war3]

So many people are on to 1.20c already.. Like in GG Client, my classmates and friends are all 1.20c. But I'm the only one who's 1.21. Hope 1.22 is better than 1.20c so I could encourage them to download it)

 

[konerboy]

hmm how come they suddenly start working on Wc3?? <3

it's kickass that they make new map and stuff, i hope they make a bonus campaign

 

[benj_war3]

I love the bonus campaign in Wc3 already. Rexxar, Rokhan and Misha on the move to stop Admiral Proudmoore.

i hope they make a bonus campaign

Hope they also make a campaign which is even nicer.

 

[13lade619]

in the blizz forums... i read that the patch would be coming at the end of this year...

i'll try to search for the thread and edit later...

EDIT:

some info i dug up...

patch 1.22 was originally larger, but was split into 2 parts the first part is what they are testing now.
and the other is still in development, to be released later this year.

Thats what I posted...

 

[benj_war3]

Well, whatever it is.. I can't wait for the 1.22 if there's a bonus campaign. It's totally wicked.

They allready said what 1.22 is going to have, and it didn't include a campaign.

 

[2-P]

Suddenly start working on WC, lol. Bonus campaign, rofl.
Look at the changes, it took them over one year to make a handful of stuff. They once said that the patch will be released by the end of 2007.

And those new maps are from a contest, Blizzard didn't make them.
