I'm trying to do some custom units or add some more voicelines like the Footman. But how could I access or find the folder of their voice files?

Some balance ideas to consider for the devs for the next big balance patch.

The goal would be to bring unused heroes/spells/units back into the fold. I believe the current meta is pretty healthy (besides NE) at the top level so I didn’t want to nerf much, just bring in minor buffs to round out the races.

Balance

Orc

• Farseer - Farsight grants the Farseer +5/10/15 intelligence for X seconds. Staff glows to show effect is active.
• Blademaster - Cooldown increased for Mirror Image.
• Witch Doctor - Healing Wards become invisible after X seconds.
• Tauren - Change “Pulverize Damage Increase” (stupid name) to “Thunder Totem” and add a small aoe slowing effect for X second(s).
• Demolisher - Burning Oil lowers healing by X% on burning units.

Undead

• Death Knight - Animate Dead now costs 50 mana and reanimates a single unit. (Most powerful corpse.)
• Lich - Death and Decay no longer deals damage to undead units.
• Dreadlord - Vampiric Aura %s are doubled for the Dreadlord. Unchanged for units.
• Meat Wagon - Exhume Corpse automatically available for Meat Wagon.

Night Elf

• Priestess of the Moon - Range increased while manually firing Searing Arrow to 600/800/1000
• Mountain Giant - Taunt changed to leash spell, similar to Siphon Mana or Life Drain. X number of units required to attack MG unless they move Y range to break leash.
• Moonstone duration increased.
• Druids - Mark of the Claw/Talon also removes mana cost from changing forms.
• Glaive Thrower move speed increased to 270.
• Vorpal Blade changes attack to “missile” and allows Glaives to bounce to 2 additional targets. Still does “Siege” damage.

Human

• Change Archmage’s name to “Poseidon, God of the Sea” when level 2 Water Element is selected.

Overall, I think Human is in an excellent state, with all heroes and units seeing play. Orc and Undead just need to see a few units get some love, and NE needs the most attention.

Hello people I just wanted to ask if it has happened to any of you when playing a game that the position of the hotkeys changes. For reference, I always used custom hotkeys to make it so the hero abilities are on the top of the grid (Q W E R) and the movement and attack are in the middle or at the bottom of the grid. Now when I enter a game (even with my customkeys.txt file) the positions of the keys are in default order. The thing that changes is not the key I have to press to perform a command, what changes is the position of the icons. Has this happened to any of you? Could you fix it?

Delete if this is too stupid or not allowed, but I pose the following question: Which heros attack animation would you as a human be most likely to survive irl?

Examples: Demon Hunter blades, PotM arrow, Far Seer spark, Panda stick.

I'm torn between Keeper bird/energy thing and Dreadlord punch. Thoughts?

So, here is where I'm struggling:

1 - Human expands and doesn't give a damn. Even if I can inflict some losses, it's never enough and I end up with no moon well juice.

2 - Human sends AM and footies to my base, keeps me there while he techs and gets a superior army. Once he has slow, my bears are useless.

3 - If the guy gets BM, my DH is useless.

What to do?

anyone else? multiplayer is back and wins are counting but xp is not increasing....

Not sure if blizzard are aware

I'm searching 1h and single game isn't found. Anyone else?

I need some serious help

So I've been attempting to learn this game for over a year now, 13 months to be exact and I am pretty awful. I only realized that now because I gave warcraft, three champions, a real try, and i'm losing to people who are in grass three with mmr of 600 those ppl are better then 50% of the ppl iv seen so far on bnet.

I suck at scouting

I suck at creeping

I'm not even incredibly clear on what counters what.

I think I need to learn this game from the very beginning again. But it seems like the literal 100 plus grubby videos. I've watched. Didn't do anything or teach me anything ,feeling Super defeated right now, so if anybody has any type of better learning material to point me towards, that'd be awesome. I prefer orc and night elf but I'm aiming for figure out orc first preferable.

Ty in advance:)

I can't believe they have everything for sale except for WC3. Wondering if I should wait or buy full price.

^

I'm gonna give wc3c I real try but I'm a tad confused by it.

I assume that the rank system is better than battle net. Because that is a horrendous s*** show 1 minute you're playing against somebody who has like 30 games under the belt, the next minute you're playing against somebody who has 10000 wins and 6000 losses. There's warcraft 3 champions rank system better, I assume it would have to be. Do they have a true bronze level? When I first got starcraft 2 and I obviously lost all my placement. I was placed in the bottom of bronze, and I slowly worked my way up as my skills improved over the course of about a year warcraft, 3, when I automatically lose all 5 of my placement games, it still puts me in around 3400 which is way too high? I was just wondering if champions would have a better rank system?

How can you go from playing a game vs rank 15 on the ladder to playing vs someone who doesn't even know which buildings are in the game??? Two consecutive games.

Is there even an algorithm involved or it's all just random?

I just played a game vs someone who had 20K games played. I checked and no way did he have those stats from after reforged was released. How is this possible?

Is there a Page or Post where i can find Meta builds?

Thank you guys

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to install the classic version of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne on my Mac (I have the previous cd key linked to my account) , but I’ve run into some issues, try downloading the WC3 Set Up Zip, but it doesn't work

If anyone has experience installing or running Frozen Throne on a Mac or knows a workaround, I’d really appreciate your guidance. Thanks in advance!

Rank page is not loading nor profile have to exit the came through command prompt

I've tweaked my Customkeys.txt file over the years, adding hotkeys for shops, merc camps, goblin lab. Now they new customkeys.txt file looks completly different.
Where it used to be:
//build (human)

[CmdBuildHuman]

Tip=|cffffcc00B|ruild Structure

Hotkey=B

it's now simply:
[CmdBuildHuman]

Hotkey=B

You could just look up the hotkey in the original .txt file but apparently they changed some things because I can't find all of the hotkeys in the new text file. Unholy Frenzy for example uses a different code and is unfindable and hence unchangeable. I can change the hotkey ingame and it will display 'F' in the menu, however, in game it will still say U and also use U.

I tried pasting my customkeys.txt file in the folder to replace the new one but that is not working. With every restart, it simply replaces my .txt with the new one.

Has anyone figured out a solution? Especially not having hotkeys for the shops/mercs is really annoying.

The purpose of wc3 is not necessarily to find a strategy to gives you a bunch of optimal skill and then use that strategy everytime you play solo. How would that fit into "real time strategy?" Instead we need to make it harder for Undead in the early game, because this has become an issue with so many people using the CL fast expansion strategy in 1v1, and even 4v4. It's almost predictable. We should be balancing the game, despite a small playing pool.

I'm sorry but MK needs a major nerf on ladder. One shot kills cmon...
