Does Blizz looks on Hive?

titans_zealot · Nov 8, 2015

I am pretty sure blizzard employees go on the internet and look about things, like fan feedback and stuff. So my question is, does blizzard look on hive and if they do, is there a special rank for a blizzard employee or is it that they are secret and just look at what we discuss and what maps there are? Thanks.

Nice though, I assume Blizzard always keep an eye on this website and the reasons? Like what you stated, fan feedback and stuff.

Very doubtful, WarCraft 3 is pretty old now. If this site went full StarCraft 2 modding and as a sc2 community, then yes. Else Blizz for RTS goes to TeamLiquid, r/starcraft, B.Net and maybe Sc2mapster if they're lucky.

Maybe I'm not so sure! As I read in the support of Blizz, She said she can't wait to see our maps! But the problem is that they never replay or post a commant on the hive, even for the greatest maps and all ressource!?

Perhaps there's an undercover Blizzard employee that we don't know of, maybe it's you. You came up with the idea afterall

Its simple: warcraft has 8 letters, Blizzard has 8 letters, 8+8 = 16. Silva has 5 letters, Silva has 114 posts and 27 reputation. 5+27+115 = 147. 147 - 16= 131. The user with 131 Reputation is blizzard Employee confirmed. Thank me later.

No, there is a low chance of anyone from Blizzard in checking anything in hive but that would be nice though.

Orcnet · Nov 8, 2015

There are tons of dudes and doodads around the world checking out stuff on the internet from time to time, and I'm sure employees, staffs, or even fans of Blizzard are sure to visit fan-made sites or should I say mod sites like us to surf in a while.

titans_zealot · Nov 8, 2015

Yeah, I am also with the moderator, I think blizzard employees do check the website a lot, many not much of them , but its probably for personal reasons less then work reasons, though with the small hype of Warcraft remastered games and other classic games, hopefully they are!

Silva · Nov 8, 2015

@Dane nicely calculated. or perhaps posts instead of rep.

On another note, like others mentioned I believe some blizzard employees have checked the site before for fan-base and perhaps checking out projects.

I'm an undercover Blizzard employee! It's Blizzard who sent me here! ...
Blizzard has offred to me an ''assignment'' to comment on ressource instead of her! And they never credit me! Believe it or not!?

Why you don't believe me? :XD... Check out my project (Signature) and tell me if there is anybody here who made a new extension of Warcraft III ?

Stefan.K · Nov 8, 2015

I always asked that myself. Like someone from Blizzard comes here and visits models section, for example, and look at Kwaliti's Lich King model and says: "Wow, the fans really kick ass in our old RTS. They even got in a level of modeling with us."
Would be great if someone is here, from Blizzard of course, to see how many people still plays and loves Warcraft(RTS). Maybe that will motivate them to make another RTS, Warcraft 4 perhaps. Just maybe, but now money controls everything so the hope is at minimum...

You are not the only one who wanted or still want make a extension of Warcraft III.So that's not really a prove that you are undercover for blizzard.

Avex · Nov 8, 2015

I think you guys are being a little too passionate about Wc3 - I really doubt they're gunna do anything past helping make old games run on new hardware (which they're doing to D2 and SC1 as well, perhaps WC2 too.)

Mr. Gameplay Knowledge · Nov 8, 2015

I forgot to say.
The world editor have limits for a reason,and i don't think they would be happy to see people creating maps with jass world editor.

Really? Who did make a new extension before? Don't tell me @turno cuz his series are based as the same as WC3 with changes on the events! Or maybe some others who made it but with different personages of the original of warcraft 3 ...

Edit : And preciesly not with the same events based on WoW

Oh man !!? What do you expect me to do? Bring you the Manager of Blizzard Community to believe me or give you my license!? Just Admit it... that's all

titans_zealot · Nov 8, 2015

I sadly don't think most Blizzard employees play Warcraft 3 normally, that they have played it, definitely. Though there probably or hopefully is some 3-10 of them that still do, either if they are a gm for Warcraft 3, play it for fun, or that they are looking at things to tweak on a remaster that there has been bit more evidence lately.

Why should i admit it?

Dr Super Good · Nov 9, 2015

No because I am here and Blizzard will never listen to me! muahahaha.

JK. Its because WC3 is not officially supported anymore.

Kakerate · Nov 9, 2015

I can't imagine why that would bother them.

Zwiebelchen · Nov 9, 2015

I'm pretty sure that of several hundreds or thousands of Blizzard employees, at least one of them still plays WC3.
But if so they will do this in private at home. They do not get payed to play games, after all.

So yeah, might be possible there is a blizzard employee reading a hive thread here or there. But probably not for his job. It might be the electrician or the janitor.

Ralle · Nov 9, 2015

Blizzard has linked to The Hive Workshop at least twice so far.

To be famous! To have a Blizzard Employee to support you!

Dr Super Good · Nov 9, 2015

The reason this was probably raised is because SC2Mapster gets frequented and even posted on by at least 1 StarCraft II developer.

Where?! This could be useful for my... studies on WC3 community and relations. Lol.

Ralle · Nov 10, 2015

Well, Vengeancekael recently had a news post about it. The other one was back when they had this Modding portal on Battle.Net where they linked to useful tutorials and had the map spotlight.

Does Blizz looks on Hive?
