What do you HATE about Warcraft 3?

[Footman16]

So, if they turned warcraft 3 into a MOBA you'd play?

I'm sorry but your gripes seem a little... I would say pathetic but that's not the right word and insulting, what I mean is that they're not the right kind of criticisms? I don't know they just seem out of place.

 

[E.M.C]

Petty is the word you're looking for I believe.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

I just want those fixed, then I can play.

Nothing more.

 

[Eagle XI]

Uhh, things that arent broken cant get fix'd, sorry...
Except blademaster and daemonhunters, fuck this two in particular.

My only problem with the Editor is that you have to restart it when you import resources with custom textures, icons and skins/tiles.

 

[Vinz]

You can save before using the resource though, and it'll appear without having to restart.

Didn't work but even if it did with my map that have 17000+ doodads, 250+ units, almost 20,000 object variables plus jasshelper saving is slow. Resources should be usable immediately after your import them. This is frustrating specially for a terrainer like me.

It's indeed sad that the WE only loads things once, on the first time they are seen. They should reload the model/icon whenever it is reimported.

And there is even a tendency that when you have some resources that aren't place anywhere in the editor yet when you start the map there is a chance that world editor will not be able to load the resources when you place them in the editor after testing the map.

terrible balance and lack of punishment for mhers

For me the problem is the limitations that were unnecessary.

- You can't modify UI to the fullest (minimap, portrait)
- Empty UI black edges with no 3D render support.
- 8 MB Map Size Limit.
- Bad tile-sets. (Blizzard IS lazy)
- lacking terrain tools (Blizzard Got Lazy)
- No mouse support, keyboard support events.
- Texture size limit - 512 x 512.
- Storyline, ideas, concept and plot is CnP from other games.
- 12 unit selection limit.
- LOTS of things including the game-play of races.
- Unrealism. (Ex: when you resurrect a night elf archer corpse using necromancer it resurrects a skeleton with a sword. Wtf?)
- Same icons for different race units. (Bandits use the same skill icon - Shadowmeld as the Night Elves.)
- Inventory limitations, only 6 slots maximum.
- Low quality models. (Compare these low quality models in retail with Warcraft 3 Alpha RPS- *facepalm)
- In-completed model textures aka rushed. (Blizzard got lazy.)
- Same model for different units with only value colors changed. (Blizzard got lazy.)
- Lots of scrapped great ideas and content from Warcraft 3 Alpha that didn't make into the retail game. (Bad design)
- No direct .MID (Midi) music support. (Blizzard got lazy.) (It is possible to have midi music, but it has no direct support in Sound Editor)
- No direct support for in-game .TGA textures. (Blizzard got lazy.)
- lots of more...

The final product of Warcraft 3 is a dissapointment when you research into it. The only thing that keeps me playing is the easy modding and an advanced world editor. The conclusion is that after many alphas and betas, warcraft 3 is a rushed product with great vision behind it.

^I agree

 

[sonofjay]

Some people really just want more than what they were given. Warcraft 3 and World Editor is great specially for its age it is just that humans are simply greedy case closed.

The issue is that previous warcraft 3 versions (alpha, beta, pre-alpha, pre-beta) were much better than the final product. The expectations back then were much more reliable. Since Blizzard had to create a new engine from scratch, it had up-to-date unlimited possibilities. The problem was that they were running out of time with release dates and finally they had to start everything from scratch due to the first version of War3 design being too extreme.

Please visit Warcraft III Evolution for more information, sources and images regarding the development of Warcraft III. You will see how the old Warcraft 3 looked like, it was fascinating..

 

[sonofjay]

I actually just searched it myself and found a forum with images of the older stuffs, yeah they looks a lot better still the hate Warcraft 3 got on this thread is just funny specially since most of the people who posted here are active Warcraft 3 modders/players and some users are even demanding so much.

The final wc3 > alpha stages.


Rts was a good decision

 

[Wasabee]

8 MB Limit in maps

 

[Footman16]

I don't think the earlier versions would've been better. The Graphics were either worse or on par with the current version and I don't think they would've been able to pull off the gameplay.

The earlier version of War3 alpha is the prototype of World of Warcraft.

the earlier version of war3 alpha looked shit. wow is shit

You have some serious issues. You haven't played alpha you can't say that it was bad, WoW on the other hand- is your opinion. Now, would it be fair that I told that you were **** if I don't know you? No.

Use logic.

you need an attitude check. u aint gonna get far in life by labelling someone 'either stupid or ignorant' or accusing someone to 'have some serious issues' based off an opinion on a video game

furthermore, i dont need to play it to determine if it looks shit. which it does

 

[Zwiebelchen]

The only thing I hate about Warcraft III is that we will never have a Warcraft IV.

Wait. Today is the 10th of november, 2014...

1+0+1+1-2-0-1+4 = 4 ... WARCRAFT IV CONFIRMED!!

 

[Ralle]

then you must be either stupid or ignorant. the earlier version of War3 alpha is the prototype of World of Warcraft.

When will you learn to stop offending people? I am telling my peers to start dishing out infractions. This has gone on long enough.

 

[Ujimasa Hojo]

I really wish they worked more on the buff system. If only custom buffs did not clash with the original buffs, you could have had a myriad of new abilities without the need of triggers.

Have you played the Alpha?

Could you provide a definite and clear list as to what specifically made Warcraft 3 Alpha so much better than Warcraft RTS. How were the base building aspects better, how were the graphics better, how were the units better etc?

 

[Vinz]

Wait, don't they? Almost everything stacks with different buffs.

@^ It doesn't look better, just some visuals do. (Like the upward Archmage Blizzard and Far Seer Lightning Storm <3)

 

[sonofjay]

When you test the map and you placed a doodad that haven't been placed on the map before there is a chance that the editor will crash.

 

[Sclammerz]

There are only 4 races playable.

 

[AIagremm]

That it's era is over.

But you have to admit that no one expected Warcraft 3 to last this long.

Indeed. When I was new to WC3 I expected a playable Naga/Demon race. :[

True. I heard they thought Warcraft 3 was dying in 2005.

I was expecting High elf and Naga too.

But this site still making it alive...I guess?

I guess, but a few other websites strive to make online more active like makemehost, ent, diplomunion, etc for B.net, as well as Gameranger and Garena in their respective communities. It is quite obvious though that the Hive leads the WC3 community in modding ^^
