Make anything as long as you DON'T make an AOS (dota-type) map! There are tons of them already and people stop playing WC3 because there are too many aos-es and not enough other-type maps. Make maps that are fun and have a high replay-value. It isn't the genre that matters (as long as it isn't AOS) but the quality.

Ahem... There are more AOS'es than you will probably be able to play in your whole life (I should calculate that! If you live another 60 years and every AOS takes an hour to play... 24 a day, 365 * 24 AOS'es a year, 365 * 24 * 60 AOS'es... 525 600! Woah, that's a lot!). O, nvm. There are more AOS'es than you will be able to play in a year :D, and if you like dota so much, why don't you play it then? I have heard from some trustable sources (Alexander, Rad and I thought Sargon, too) that the AOS madness is reducing the amount of WC3 players a lot. Not all people like AOS-es like you do, and for people like you there already are thousands of AOS-es (not 525600 though). Let's analyze this: If DDRtists would make another AOS, then it would probably be played for a while (like two weeks) and then it'd be forgotten, unless he founds a whole clan that starts hosting and keeps hosting it and... Wait, why am I typing that again? Just read it here. But if he made an other type of map, it would be played less frequently but the playing would last longer, seeing that the AOS-freaks usually get fed up with it at some time and want to play something different. Then they search their map directories, find that lil' fun map and host it. New ppl come and see, download it from the host, think: hey, this is different and fun, might host that sometime! Et voila, the map is slowly getting played more and more. In the meanwhile you keep updating it and adding new fun things, so it will be played even more. And ppl that are new to WC3 or (what happens more often) come back to play it again might see that it isn't all dota and play that lil' fun map, and think by themselves that WC3 is getting better again, and they keep playing it, start mapping themselves after a while etc. You see? That way Warcraft is gonna get played more and will be more fun. And more ppl means more DotA players, so in the end it would make you happier, too! But, to get that done, DDRtist must not stand alone.

WE HERE AT THEHELPER.NET MIGHT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESURRECTION OF WARCRAFT 3 MAPPING VARIATION!!!

All we gotta do is make good unique maps with a high replay value and get them hosted a lot. But we gotta do it together. We gotta launch a Warcraft 3 maps invasion! Viva la resistance! Do not give up at a crucial moment like this! We will change Warcraft 3 Mapping, brethren!

I say make a combination of everything! An aos, td, rpg, hero survival, loap.

I say to do this you can do....

-Make it a huge map, and add lots of quests and stuff to make it an rpg.
-Have 2 teams that start on oppostite sides of the map.
-You can become a hero though training or remain a simple builder for you town, if you choose to become a builder you can make towers to defend your town as well as research and build advanced things to devolpe a wonder matropalis
-If you choose a hero you go out and try to destroy the enymys base, clear a path for your mercenarys to get to the enymy base, defend your town, and do quests to make life easier for the citizens in your town.
-Each team can donate money to the government to buy more mercenarys to inflitrate the enymys base.
- This map will require team coporation so that you have enough builders to make your base defense better but enough heros to infiltrate there base.

There are also a ton of other possibilitys to add to this map.

Sry about spelling :)

How about putting your Hero Line Wars on this website? Most ppl won't be able to test with you due to timezone differences.

What are you talking about? I never said anything of the sort.

In fact, I like playing AoSes. Only the well-made ones, though. All maps have a few high-quality versions and a bunch of crappy imitations.

And for the record, in terms of different maps, I see more TDs and Footies maps on battle.net than AoS maps. In fact, there are only a few AoSes that people actually play. They just look overdone because one of them happens to be DotA.

  • Varine Varine:
    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
