What content this update is

 

[Barade]

Nice but what about custom maps?

 

[Bitterman]

well, no fixes for old custom campaign dialogue where the voice comes but the face is static.

 

[deepstrasz]

What I think is most important at this point is stability. Instead of concentrating on the soonTM fixes, what new bugs have you found?

 

[Homor]

This is one of the updates of all time. History remember this as an update that happened.

 

[Evilhog]

It's a bunch of hotfixes, for f's sake. Don't expect miraculous changes and new features.

 

[Halithor]

+1 on not expecting big changes from hotfixes. In general the term means fixing bugs and getting them out faster than a full release cycle so that people don't have to deal with them for as long as a duration.

I am a bit out of touch but didn't they announce the custom campaigns recently?
What, no major reality warping changes each month ??
Yes they should not have removed it to begin with and taken whatever extra time needed to make that work on launch but all the same it was work put in to add something good.

1. I'm not expecting anything from them anymore; I'm just stating facts.
2. At this point in time it doesn't matter what they announce, cause they had plenty of time to make things right.
3. Aside from hotfixes they still keep breaking balance!
4. Evilhog, if you censoring your own swearing, then I suggest that you either don't swear or stop censoring it, cause it makes no sense whatsoever.
5. My judgement is tough, but fair. Besides it's half serious. I wrote it in funny way. Guess you guys don't catch my sense of humor.

 

[Chaosy]

I can only speak for myself but I didn't reply to you specifically. There are a couple of others with the same sentiment.

Again, not you specifically.. it does not matter what they do at this point - as you say.
A large chunk of the community has decided that everything that comes out is bad or not good enough. I am only half joking when I say that if they announced that they will have VR support, introduce VS code integration in the editor and enable RTX, new 4k textures and upscaling GPU options you guys would still spit at them for removing custom campaigns with reforged.

Move on.

edit: not sure if they currently have 4k textures or not, either way it's just a funny(TM) example

1. I don't say that you did reply to me specifically, but still at some percentage, that's why I also quoted your post.
2. As for major reality warping changes, your irony is misplaced. I got your half joke here, but the rest is serious.
3. As for removing custom campaigns, you're wrong that everybody would spit at them. It was least thing which bothered me, since you can break custom campaign into separate maps and play them via custom games. I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure some part of "nay sayers" would agree with me.
4. As for large chunk of the community you mentioned, it's not like we decided that EVERYTHING that comes out is bad (mostly is) or not good enough. It's just not enough. See the difference?
5. Since I'm not expecting anything from them anymore, it means that I had move on. It doesn't mean I can't share my thoughts.

P.S. I was pleased when they returned custom campaigns back, though I was still pissed for constant balance breaking.

Please fix the behavior by hovering over a frame. the mouse is going on and of while hovering over a frame, its over half a year now and this huge bug is still not fixed. destroys my whole hero selection!

Mirror image xp fix is more than welcome, keeps it in line with other attacking summons. I still think that the original 25% damage was the sweetspot, the spell is clearly not overperforming at the moment by any stretch.

I strongly disagree with the revertion of anti-magic shell. Three dispells for a 75 mana spell doesn't seem very fair and balanced.

Oh my god, I thought I was going insane trying to figure out what was causing my UI to do that. It turns out it was Blizzard the whole time!

 

[Kam]

UD07 looks to have either been edited by someone who doesn't understand triggers, or perhaps an older version of the map was used. Whatever the case, the map can't be completed.

 

[DarkRanger2]

At this point... I am convinced Warcraft REF. Blizzard team is composed of one single employee that survives on coffee to deliver updates.

 

[Bitterman]

Well, the deal is done, and there is nothing else sony can do.

Now hive and the war 3 community needs to bother phil so War 3 gets a proper lead and team

 

[Gnuoy]
