WotLK = Wc3 casted aside?

[MySpaceBarBroke]

I think Wc3 should be remembered for being the greatest customizable game ever..

Until SC2 comes out, probably.

Aww you just trashed the legend

 

[mrchewy]

In my opinion, WC3 was cast aside a long time ago. Sure, there's still a moderate sized player base but Blizzard has long since forgotten about it. The only people who still play WC3 play it because they are either DotA players, fanboys or part of the modding community. WotLK won't do anything to WC3; those who ever had plans of leaving the WC3 scene have already left.

War3 was the first game that rly got me playing everyday for hours..

Requiem..

Meh, I can't see WotLK stealing many people, since it mainly just appeals to endgame players, not new players. It will be interesting to see where the story goes, though.

Sc2? Well, people are STILL playing SC, even after the superior-in-every-way WC3 came out, so who knows, maybe it will be the same for WC3, the core of devotees hang around while everyone switches over the to the bigger and better. It's like going on Battle.Net on ROC. There are still a few people determined to use it these days, even though the majority have switched the superior-in-every-way TFT.

lol i remember how dying i was to buy it.. first tried it in germany because i couldn't find it here.. then just found out i could just order it on the internet and then waited for it some days.. was like a new harry potter book was released lol.

Except without the billions of dollars in 48 hours.

War3 has much more replay value than a book harry potter has no editor >.< OMG

But ok. War3 will never be cast aside because ppl still play SC:1 so why wouldnt some hardcore dudes stop playing war3? maybe they even dont like SC!

The only players who won't move from WC3 to SC2 are DotA players...

 

[brad.dude03]

If DotA gets reincarnated in SC2 (there are rumors of hero otpions being available in the editor but not in the single-player parts) then this wont be a problem. then perhaps WC3 will finally be free of the DotA plague.

 

[busterkomo]

More like the DotA gift xD.
Anways, a game like wc3 won't die out just because of some lore changes.

Its fucked up already (WoW) so probably the worst thing they can come up with to go to level 80 in WoW should be reincarnating sargeras -.- .. still would be beatable? -.- .. suure..

It's pretty much certain. Blizzard has already mentioned DotA, and they added an optional inventory in the WE.

 

[brad.dude03]

Well that's the thing, they'll make the WE have *all* of the features so that DotA can be remade. I'll enjoy those blissfull days before DotA hits of having a custom games list that isn't flooded.

 

[Hakeem]

Hopefully SC2 will have a more advanced filter system.

 

[brad.dude03]

or DotA will get its own filter so that everyone else wanting to play real maps can do so without the listclog, and dotards can get their thing on exclusively.

 

[Gilles]

Or they will release WCotA in a year. An upgraded WC with no WE so Blizzard can control DotA and make profits off it.

 

[brad.dude03]

People would use custom map editors then. DotA would definetly be hacked

 

[Gilles]

that's true. But I can see Blizzard trying to make a profit off of it.

 

[brad.dude03]

Most definetly, that IS their job after all

 

[The_wand_mirror]

ehm.. can they just take over the map without the permission of the creator(s)? i have no idea and i would probably get comments like 'Blizz owns War3 so they own every content within it' but dota does tournaments for cash.. doesn't that make it a bit more eeh? thing gummy?

 

[brad.dude03]

Of course they can. The game isn't property of IceFrog, and Blizzard could easily take control of DotA, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. The game is made in Warcraft 3, using their editing tools. If someone was to make a flash game based on Dota, then sure, that would be theirs to copyright, but for a mod within Wc3, all content is property of Blizzard.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Haha i hope they sew them..

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

And with that this thread has come to an end. WotLK apparently means DotA to you people.

CLOSED!
