Warcraft III: Reforged PTR - Version 1.35.0

[Armelior_is_back]

You mean buying Reforged ? I know I won't give ActiBlizz a cent until it gets the Arthas at Stratholme treatment ("This entire company must be purged !") after the Microsoft buyout, but to each his own...

 

[ALADEEN]

While I love that they brought back Custom Campaigns, at the same time it pisses me of that they still mess up with balance. Honestly I don't think that there is any balance at all.

 

[istvan921]

You are right about this my friend and i think that Boby Kottick needs to go like right the hell now and i won't miss him probably others as well it's time for Microsoft to drain the swamp

 

[WanSaweR]

check Warcraft III: Reforged PTR - Version 1.35.0
they actually updated already - like what

Unexpected, but not unwelcome.

 

[Chaosy]

I don't really play wc3 anymore, but I am grateful to whoever internally who managed to push this over the line and make those who remain happy.
Yes it should have been there from the start, but I expect that most at Blizzards considers reforged a sunk ship that cannot be fixed.

So yeah, good news for once.

 

[Asuna Tichondrius]

hope they fixed more world editor since so many people i see have problem when patch 1.33 come out.

You are right about this my friend and i think that Bobby Kottick needs to go like right the hell now and i won't miss him probably others as well it's time for Microsoft to drain the swamp

By the way, I remember reading some ridiculous information about Bobby being a sole owner of all major Blizzard franchises through a third-party firm based somewhere in the Netherlands. I hope it's just a hoax, but I wouldn't be surprised if Bobby being Bobby pulled a trick like that...

 

[istvan921]

Oh god oh no!

Guys. It's the internet.
Do not believe or spread random crap from the internet.

 

[istvan921]

Trust me Shar i don't want to believe it as well but in this world of lies that we are living you can never know for sure

 

[Shar Dundred]

You are reinforcing MY point, not yours.

 

[Bitterman]

Guys. It's the internet.
Do not believe or spread random crap from the internet.

Never underestimate the asshole who locked Both Battlezone and Mechwarrior 2 source codes in a mountain because he didn't wanted to give a copy to EA and Microsoft when they bought Pandemic and FASA

 

[Barade]

I did not really pay attention to the melee changes but don't they destroy the gameplay? Like illusions causing damage and Reanimate units not invulnerable anymore?! Changing cooldowns completely like double it for Tranquility. I don't know much about melee but these changes seem pretty big. Are they really necessary?

Now you freaking me out.

(...)Are they really necessary?

Absolutely NOT! They are just the opposite of the intended.

 

[OutsiderXE]

Melee changes are so big even non-melee players are worried

 

[HankHell69]

Is the WE broken still? I'm assuming it still is because I went in and the same messages popped up automatically after opening WE. I want to create a map but I don't want to lose my progress like I did since last patch when I tried reopening my unfinished map and crashed WE.

Hallelujah Finally after ALMOST TWO FREAKING YEARS BLIZZARD is adding the Missing and most important DETAILS IN THE HISTORY OF GAMING IN WARCRAFT 3 WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT!!!

 

[Rogue Kessler]

Am I doing something wrong? I installed the PTR client and pasted a handful of W3N campaign files in the directory it told me to: C:\Users\jaked\OneDrive\Documents\Warcraft III Public Test\Campaigns

However, now when I run the PTR client it still doesn't see this campaigns and soft locks the game when I open the Custom Campaigns screen (menu sounds and many menu buttons including Exit Game stop working, the client must be force quit).

Anyone gotten custom campaigns to work on PTR?

 

[Sieben]

I'm glad Warcraft 3 is still getting some attention from the devs. But almost 3 years after the release, finally adding custom campaigns doesn't feel like they respect us.
About balance changes: I'm no multiplayer gamer, so my opinion doesn't weigh much, but I feel like the changes are too big.
The circlet changes sounds interesting though:

Circlet stats reduced from +2 to all stats to 1/1/2 but players can click to toggle the item to add an additional 1 stat to any attribute.

Wouldn't it open new possibilities for custom items?

Anyway, I said it before and will say it again: even with custom campaigns back, I still won't buy Reforged because I'm still not happy with the graphics artstyle. I don't think any improvement in that area is ever gonna happen so I won't spend a penny on a Blizzard game again any time soon.

 

[Superfrycook]

Finally, some custom campaigns and we need to fix the map editor for not crashing when doing unfinished projects.

 

[Goffterdom]

Wouldn't it open new possibilities for custom items?

Apparently it's not even an ability, it's all "hard coded" that means we can't use it for modding in any other way than initially intended.

I've opened a support thread on the War3 forums: Custom Campaigns inaccessible with OneDrive?

So far I haven't found anybody else who seems to have this problem.

EDIT: Someone on the War3 forums found the solution! If anyone else runs into this issue, here's how to fix it:

You need to set a different folder as your user’s Document’s folder. The game will always store its user data in the Document’s folder designated for your windows user account.

How to Change the Location of User Folders in Windows 10 - dummies

Changing the location of one or more of your Windows user folders is a good idea if your computer has multiple partitions. Here's how.

No custom campaigns is the reason I refunded two years ago. It's the main reason I got excited for Reforged in the first place.

This, and especially Chronicles of the Second War just might...just MIGHT convince me to return to this... If I were Microsoft, I would hire that team to remake WC1 as well and give WC3 another shot...maybe even make new campaigns...But I'm getting ahead of myself...

 

[Blahblah_Blagar]

The Siege Engine was supposed not to attack regular units. Who the hell patches this game. Reading all of this, someone really didn't think through anything they've changed

 

[WanSaweR]

Hallelujah Finally after ALMOST TWO FREAKING YEARS BLIZZARD is adding the Missing and most important DETAILS IN THE HISTORY OF GAMING IN WARCRAFT 3 WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT!!!

Agree. Shame, they're adding this feature after two years. Let's hope things will change to better.

As we can see with AoE series, it's very successful. There's still hope.

 

[ALADEEN]

Most likely the same person who put Spirit Walker in Tauren Totem instead of Spirit Lodge.

 

[Bitterman]

Any updates?

 

[Nero32]

Any updates?

Yeah. A new version.

• Siege Engine armor reverted back to fortify.
• Siege Engine targeting change reverted back to only structures.

 

[Barade]

lol reverted, reverted, reverted. Nice patch. Add some new natives. It is not that hard. And fix some editor issues like the width of the unit type selection dialog. Melee is not everything.

 

[Bitterman]

They should had kept siege engine as it is
in fact, they should update the barrage so it target ground and air units while stock siege main weapon is focused on building only.

 

[KaiZen7th]

They should reforge their studio

 

[deepstrasz]

There's some fishy stuff going on in the Save Game panel:

Spoiler

None of those are under Saved Games/Warcraft III/Profile[number] or Multiplayer.
They look more like campaign and map names. Only the save files can be deleted. Those weird things cannot.

Also, staying too long minimized stops the game music (although I was using a custom imported one via the assets manager) and starts it again.
