Then you probably got a faulty Warcraft III... Or you need to reset your server list which you can find on Blizzard's support site.

or he needs to install the patch?

Actually, no matter what i did, Westfall didn't show for me, you can add it manually by going to start>run- type in regedit.exe go to HKEY_Current_User>Software>Warcraft III, click on the folder, and double click on the key "Battle.net Gateways", scroll to the bottom and add
beta.battle.net
X (Timezone, im not sure if it matters what you put)
Westfall (Beta)

Directly underneath northrend, click okay, and exit, Westfall should now be in your magnifying glass server list =)

.. screw updates, I just want my next Warcraft RTS. WoW is a joke, give me back my micro!

gerbal_warfare, you will eventually.

Its called starcraft 2 and its "better than wc3" modding abilites (we hope).

well. i for one find the "added health bars" a problem. i dont play ladder anymore. but i used to. and the worst thing you want is the enemy knowing one of your units is in the "red" or "yellow". cuz then they focus it to finish the unit down.

so while this may present possibilitys, it also makes ladder a lot harder for noobs. this alone pretty much guarrentee's noobs wont play ladder much cuz they wont know how to take advantage of it. so the ladder community is going to be a lot more limited now.

also now this is going to increase the amount of hero focusing done out there by as much as a hundred fold. esspecially when they see your hero is wounded.

edit: not taht i give two hoots about the ladder community. im a pure custom guy. i just feel sorry for all those ladder-noobs out there. (like me. if i actually did ladder anymore)

edit2: while on the other hand this also adds more strategic options. because then you are able to see the weak flanks of an army, and will allow u to see how the battle is actually going. while before 1-3 units would die and you dont know the rest have like 50-100 hp left. so u keep fighting. now u really know how its going.

Simple: Play hard, get better, don't complain about hp bars. Make maps, play less and then don't complain how newbs don't have a chance. There are custom games for that entitled 'noobs only'.

FYI people have used Alt button or [ and ] to see hit points so far. So that see-the-injured doesn't start from 1.22 tt ... But a little effort requires that you use heal or kinda try to move the unit instead of 'Me dont know what to do, Me watch and do nothing'.

Hmm

Yeah, I usually don't even look at the screen when I play, I can hardly micro + I can't type without looking

So basically, I order my units to attack, and constantly shoot spells off

Luckily, I will not lose, if they have some decent micro skills, I lose miserably

That would be why I use night elves, as I can just order them (no special abiles for hunts + arches)


The HP bars could be very bad for noobs, but awesome for pros
I suppose that would help counter the crappy ladder mod, and give pros more pros to face by killing off all the noobs

They could've done it since always, all they had to do is to stick a coin on ALT >.>

Sticking a coin on alt

Some of us don't have the time to get off our arses, fiddle around in our pockets, and grab a coin

THEN, place said coin on ALT

Would take an extra 6 + 1/2 seconds out of our lives




But seriously, its not like its a revolutionary new thing, just a few more people will be aware of it

I hope they add more stuff toward the final of this patch.

I used to stick a coin in alt. But I don't just do it each time I need it, but on the start of the game. It is kind of annoying when you are in your own base, but very usefull on the battlefield. And since my favourite race are undead, and I use ghouls alot, which means I have lots of units to care about, I really need that alt (or now automated one) to watch over my whole army.

I'm nervous! In that patch night elves less powerful than ever, and every other changes in the other races makes the elves less weaker. I played with night elves for 2.5 years and i know playing with elves isn't so easy.. and that **** patch makes playin' them much more difficult..

A nerf on the Orb of Venom isn't gonna make such a big difference in my opinion. But the Scout Tower repair time increase was important; once the Humans build a tower it is almost impossible to take it down until the peasant is killed.
