I tested 2v2 rt and it's depressing how you get into fights against top1 at teams in the world with ally that's barely 60%. =(
Really unmotivating experience, not to mention how ally mentally instantly gave up and left when he saw the team..

If you dont know who I fought against just click at teams and seach top 1 2v2 team. and then see from his gamelisting that he played against wiceorc (my main acc)

So I think matchmaking is still broken. Or there is some hidden ell that just wont let me to get back into good stats. /during the occurance I was standing on 3900mmr and I dont think it equals to top 1 at team with 140wins 9 loses.

patch says "add additional cliff types" is it just more tiles and not actually cliffs?
because it would be really nice being able to use "local content" to replace complete tilesets, but right now it's not possible, since cliff00 cliff01 are tied to a single shared slot, you can change all the tilesets except cliffs.
I would love to modify icecrown glacier tiles, to make some of the textures lighter, instead of almost pitch black, but without being able to also change cliff00 and cliff01 there's no point in doing it.
any idea about this?
for example, I tried doing some edits to icecrown glacier and replaced it, but if I go play on other tileset like cityscape, cityscape would be using my edited icecrown glacier cliffs, since the game only allows 2 cliffs slots that are shared.

I don't know if this is a new bug on the latest patch but:

If you save a map manually with triggers using the "SaveGame" native and then later use the "SaveAndLoadGameBJ" or "SaveAndChangeLevelBJ" native to transition between maps like in Rexxar's campaign, the game fails to save before the transition process so if you go back to the previous map, it will start from the beginning rather than load the save.

There is also another issue related to custom campaigns that rely on the above natives for map transition. Game Saves made with them are displayed on the save & load menu (Example: OrcX01, OrcX01_02, OrcX01_03, etc...). Those saves should normally be hidden like they were before patch 1.32 as to not be confused with regular saves or deleted/overwritten by mistake.

Got mislead by W3Champions modifications on melee thinking a new patch introduced those nice implementations.
New update shows possible item drops when you click neutral hostile units in melee maps:
1777232178388.webp
Some creeps have some overhead icons, possibly reflecting type of item drops:
1777232305644.webp
Some item icons have a +number of their main bonus attribute:
1777232456158.webp
There's also a quest in the quest log called creep kills.

I'm sorry, but are you sure this is true? If so, how did you access all of this? I don't see anything in the latest PTR patch, and I also can't find the melee map you're playing on anywhere. Are you sure you didn't accidentally use one of wc3champions' modified melee maps?
