[benj_war3]

That's sad.. The founding of Durotar was so fun. =0, Fine, I'll make my own. Lolx Just kidding... I can't make something so nice.

 

[Andyoyo]

The HP bar helper will significantly change gameplay for the better so much.

No More ALT KEY, this gentlemen makes for best patch ever

- Increased Ziggurat base armor from 1 to 5.

We can ignore the terrible balance choices by the blizzard team for now

They are in the first post... I saw them forums days ago, too..

 

[13lade619]

can you post a link on where you downloaded the patch?

Battle.Net. Connect to the westfall server instead of azeroth or w/e.

Insane plays humans, doesn't he?

There's still so much that could be done about bnet ("Join game" for friends list buddies, DotA filter, more advanced map filters, DotA filter).

Anyone else have a feeling this is gonna be the final patch? Well aside from the random one we'll get 5 years from now, like when they patched Diablo a few years back.

They allready said that it was originally one patch, but now its spilt and theres going to be another patch after this.

 

[Tholdalf]

Now is maybe the time to tell them to remove the damn size limit on custom maps??

The limits there for a good reason.
I wouldn't want it removed.

Back to the topic:
I can't connect to B.net after installing the patch
I made a thread in the Blizzard help, if anyone knows whats wrong.

 

[Tholdalf]

Yes it is there for a good reason but most comps can handle larger files now compared to those 5 years ago.

 

[SFilip]

> comps can handle
What about internet connections?
Some people still use 56k.
Majority has a very weak upload.
Large maps = hard to distribute.

If you get to the point where you need 3-4MB for a map, it's most likely already a lost cause.

 

[Wiseman_2]

Nice to see the Blizzard forum users are still as retarded as ever
Been a long time since I played WC3. It's time to change that, methinks

 

[Kenito]

Oh, it's like when SC was made on 640x480 resolutions (although 800x600s were becoming fairly mainstream at the time) and they said they locked it at that so there'd be no "unfair advantage to users with newer computers", meanwhile now 1600x1200ers must suffer (but that's what Dxwnd is for!).

Even if we can handle large map sizes, bnet is a bit wonky (you've seen how some maps like Parasite II take a fair time to download on bnet). Even though in normal terms, we can download 5MB maps really quickly on the internet, bnet's file transfer is practically living in the past - it's still downloading things really slow. I don't know if they never got around to upgrading it or because of some bandwidth thing, but the point is, it's not very quick.

Plus it's still nice to have a 5MB limit JUST to encourage people to optimize their maps. If we had a high limit then we'd have lots of sloppy and laggy messes.

 

[Polak]

you think the new patch will come with a ladder reset?

 

[Chocobo]

It won't. Not a massive update.

 

[Kenito]

I joined WC during Ladder Season two (or was it 1). I worked my way up to my epic 25 orc victory troll icon, and with it, a level of 12.

They reset it - I kept my stats and icon, but since then I've only had the patience to hit a measly level two.

That was two years ago, Blizzard still hasn't reset the ladder.

I think official ladder "seasons" are no more.
