How dead is wc3? I love making maps

[Fralexxelarf]

Hi, everything I can see now on battle net are hosting bots rather than real people hosting, does that mean its dead?

God, I dont know how to put it. I just wonder if it would be worth finishing my ORPG map, cause I enjoy making it but I also want players.

btw; WC4 PLS

 

[BloodDrunk]

I feel with you....
I also think on abandoning my map because there are simply no players anymore who play it
Only few maps are only played I can see on garena.
So, I think Wc3 is dead (unless you have some people to play with)

 

[WaterKnight]

There are both autohosts and people that host via bot for the advantages. The autohosts obsfucate the picture. We usually play in private since publics are scarce and unreliable.

 

[Xonok]

I definitely want you to finish your ORPG. There's still not very many good ones.

On Game Ranger its mybe around 150-160 games hosted by players i think.

150-160 = always same maps?
Can you tell me the maps they host?

 

[Garfield1337]

It's not as dead as much as it's ruined by the bots that are so many that most of the games are empty.
Still, there are good maps hosted on battle.net using makemehost bots where each bot actually has a human host. Those games fill fast too.

 

[jonhysone]

I think gameranger is the best way to play warcraft 3 . I know DotA is the most popular game ( and it sucks ) . Well you get many friends there to play with

 

[BloodDrunk]

will try game ranger then and see how they react to my map

 

[Zeatherann]

Yea, a patch by Blizz to remove/break hosting bots would be great and would remove all the useless junk on the hosted games list.

Not dead; just not public.

 

[Assassins-Creed]

This game is still more active then you think, most of the players are either noobs who picked the game up a week ago or hardcore fans who've been playing since release.

 

[neo_sluf]

there are still many warcraft 3 players in RGC..

i tihnk it is around 1,000 - 5,000 players everyday around the world..

i am always play warcraft there too..

 

[Zeatherann]

shame about the death of public battle.net for warcraft 3 though.

 

[Tonex]

As of 04:44:48 AM Pacific Time, there are 7693 users playing 1077 games of Warcraft III The Frozen Throne, and 26453 users playing 12728 games on Battle.net.

DotA is the worst game ever seen in wc3, both in RoC and TFT sucks, looks so boring to play.
I hate those hostbots too, fill the whole lobby full of crap and we can't find the game we want to go in... they should be ip banned.

 

[BloodDrunk]

dude, you don't even know DotA then...
Haters gonna hate

 

[Wrda]

I know DotA, I played it once, just testing the abilities and looked already boring.

 

[BloodDrunk]

or you're jealous because the map is unlimited number of times better than your map.

 

[Xonok]

Please don't start an argument in the style of "Dota is/isn't X". It won't lead either of you anywhere and will waste that precious brainpower that you could use to make awesome resources.

 

[DoctorReza]

he hates DotA cuz he doesnt know how to play and he loses everytime. LOSER !

 

[BloodDrunk]

hahh

Mocking isn't very productive either.

 

[Nestharus]

well, wc3 is pretty much dead, in public at least

considering what you can do with SC2

I'd think that it's a good time to move, especially with all of the wc3 model libs =)

neither is saying DotA sucks.

Wow, you can do that in SC2? Hell awesome!

Don't trash talk, that doesn't even make any sense. There are thousands of funnier games than DotA.

Even LoL is better than DotA.

It isn't really dead lol, there are many people who play public games on wc3 RoC.

 

[Assassins-Creed]

It isn't really dead lol, there are many people who play public games on wc3 RoC.

ROC is actually very dead, no games are hosted on it anymore.

(L)o(L) hahaa
Maybe give it more tries and you'll like it? or you don't want to like it because you want LoL to be better?

 

[Wrda]

I see many games being hosted.

 

[Zeatherann]

You could say 'move to any other blizzard made game after TFT was released' for a better experience.

DotA is by far the most hosted map on battle.net; 99% of those hosted by bots. I bet you on average that over 80% of all hosted games on battle.net is now hosted by bots. What's even better is that if you get a dick 'host' that bans you for some stupid reason, then you're locked out of about 20-30% of the games on battle.net since there are around 3 major banlists floating around.

Back on topic: public battle.net is dead, if you want to get a good game in, host it privatly and invite your friends/clanmates.

League of Legends is of course going to have greater potential to be better than any warcraft 3 AoS, simply because the engine is geared for it, and is still under development.

Half copied games.

Doesn't mean anything, 80% of players don't play DotA.

I bet you on average that over 80% of all hosted games on battle.net is now hosted by bots.

I've already seen that.

What's even better is that if you get a dick 'host' that bans you for some stupid reason, then you're locked out of about 20-30% of the games on battle.net since there are around 3 major banlists floating around.

DotA games? I don't even play it.

I still see many people going in many public games.

 

[Zeatherann]

This sums up hosting bots.

 

[Wrda]

I know is happening the same... but it is still not full of trash, hopefully...

 

[AwzomeWulfzz]

or you're jealous because the map is unlimited number of times better than your map.

Jesus Christ, These are our opinions God dammit, I mean, my opinion is, Dota sucks. So just please, that's very irritating. Sounds like it came from an 8 year old.

 

[Binsu]

Dead? For me it looks fine to me and is still being played but what I notice is that is that in BNet it looks dead. In GG, it is heck as alive but too bad that most of users there, plays DotA which is said because it gets too repetitive and annoying that what you always see is Dota maps being host and servers full of DotA rooms.

I dont have grudge in DOtA but gets too annoying that rooms are full of that.

 

[Wrda]

Around 30 bots on TFT host DotA games. Who the heck will go in all of those games? lol... 2 bots would be enough

 

[BloodDrunk]

then keep that opinion for yourself, no need to spread that around.
I Think DotA is awesome map, and I don't just click on thread and say how the map is awesome and shit...

 

[Fralexxelarf]

I've been around since the beginning, but ufortunaly I never got into map making until later, when I eventually started playing WoW, like many others.

BTW I prefer battle.net over gameranger though as only dota's being hosted there. (people also tend to pirate games and use gameranger among other programs to play online.)

However, I'll probably continue on my map.

 

[AwzomeWulfzz]

Then keep your opinion for yourself. You were mocking him for not liking Dota. God.

 

[RontoKing]

Guys, if anyone thinks that Warcraft 3 is dead, download Garena, install it, and be astonished by the number of people in the Warcraft 3 ROC and TFT rooms!

 

[BloodDrunk]

because he first started flaming DotA. If he kept his mouth shut, I would
Stop being stupid

Go to Europe Rooms (Not RPG), you'll see a large number of melee maps going on there.

Yeah, being stupid. As if your insults were stupid enough.

 

[SA Dashie]

*facepalm* guys, seriously?

Aside that, a couple of years ago on Garena when i actually used to play there I got beyond more attention for my map making than I ever needed.

The top thing that you need is the right attitude towards others in the right crowd(which, yes it is possible to find a positive bunch around Garena).

But that's actually pretty rare in Garena now. All I can see by now are overused maps. That's why private games are the best for me now.

 

[SA Dashie]

Well idk what it could be like anymore. haha

 

[Xonok]

I used to find lots of testers in garena. Now I can literally wait for hours in the main european RPG rooms.
