New Warcraft III Patch

You're assuming Blizzard still has the talent (and is willing to pay for it) to actually develop games. It's much cheaper to hire retards to expand on existing projects and develop new ways to nickel and dime players.

That said, it's a bit of an odd business move to suddenly start developing for Warcraft 3 if they didn't have plans for it in the future. I can totally see it appearing on Battle.net 2.0 as a re-release. (Of course with support for all existing maps.)

RTS isn't a casual-friendly genre. It was just popular back then because building shit was fun, but most people don't know how to play the actual fucking game.

Various limits in the world editor have been raised.
Some of these were already available with a hacked world editor (like map size, which was increased from 256x256 to 480x480), whilst others are new (max food increased from 300 to 999).
What's also nice is that Blizzard finally went off their fucking asses and implemented jass natives for things that should've existed a decade ago. It is now finally possible to do amazing things such as:

I do wonder if its possible to pull off a rts thats more simcity than gookclick-tier autism while still maintaining a reasonable depth of combat. All while not being fucking civ in the process.

I haven't played in years but I do like the sounds of having fuckhuge maps with fuckhuge wc2 battle.

It's going to be fucking wonderful, lads.
It's going to be such a fucking mess that going Archmage first as a human will no longer feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot.

Also, does anyone here still play ranked or custom maps for fun?
That "New and Improve Map Pool" better let me filter out the dota shit.

I think they're aware of the lukewarm reception of SC1's remaster.
What a complete waste that was.

They've been patching it a lot these last few years.
If anything, they're probably testing the waters with this and the Starcraft remake for a possible WC4.
Last I heard, it was rumoured it would continue the story of WoW from some point, making the entirety of WoW canon.

Forced competitive play for regular players was a mistake.

Total War?

AoE?

So what actually changed about the world editor, and do I have to download the updated version from Battle.net?

You can't even begin to understand the carnage I shall cause.

Did they ever fix that half second to a second delay that Blizzard implemented on Battle.net?
>yfw Blizzard's new patch changes the single player campaign retroactively to fix problematic content and to line it up with WoW-lore.

wew, guess I don't pay much attention to the genre much anymore. Appreciate the input.

Pretty sure that's for melee games.
Oh boy now I realize there's going to be so many colors, people probably won't know what to call each other.
