I'm downloading this. Never tried it before.
What am I in for?
Looks cool, what game?
>>260804162
Warcraft III
>>260803940
One of the greatest games ever made.
>>260803940
Get ready for a clunky as fuck interface and animations. Also a lot of fun.
>>260804329
>>260804834
I'm a Command and Conquer vet, so what exactly do I need to relearn to not suck at WC3?
A game that has a pretty great custom map editor that allowed for several kinds of games to be played. The graphics are old and cartoony, but have a decent charm to them, along with the voice acting. The core game itself is pretty fun if given time, but I always had more enjoyment from custom maps personally.
>>260804990
use any means necessary to gear and level up your heroes
play the campaigns and then get into some custom games online, I recommend Wintermaul One.
>>260804990
the last CnC i played was red alert 3. warcraft 3 is baby tier compared to that, tho do not mistake it is fun as fuck and there is a challenge in the later levels. i think you should be fine if you have played other rts's
>>260803940
You'll see that Garithos did nothing wrong.
>>260804990
Heroes are important. Warcraft 3 and TFT plays like an RPG. All the standard RTS fare is still there, so it still plays like an RTS. All you need to do differently is level up your hero by any means necessary. Get him geared up. Get those OP skills online.
Also, enjoy the campaign. That alone makes the game worth it.
>>260806351
What is the level cap exactly?
I recall playing WC2 and there were limited on map resources. Is that still a thing or is it at a point where limited resources shouldn't be an issue?
>>260803940
an old game by a defunt company
dota -apem
>>260804321
Never heard of it.
>>260806960
on some maps you'll have very limited resources and will need to manage them carefully or expand quickly, level cap on heroes is 10 but for majority of campaign you get 1 level per mission.
>>260803940
what the hell is that witchdoctor
>>260808909
From the expansion I guess.
>>260808909
That's a Shadow Hunter.
>>260809057
>>260808969
but he never looked like that in the game
>tfw you missed out on this game's custom map scene
biggest regret of my life
it was even one of the few games I could play on Mac and I never got it
>>260803940
>get my first hero, a legion of footmen
>huh what, 3 deathknights and 5 legions of zombies
>>260807707
to clarify this anon, your only allowed 1 level per mission. if you see your hero is done gaining xp, its time to end the mission
>>260809251
>You'll never play Werewolf on Battle.Net again
>You'll never get to play LOAP properly

Pick your poison. Or just play some maps with friends.

>you'll never play Troll Tribes again
>you'll never play Enfo's again
>>260804990
Just play the campaign and have fun. If you really get into and want to play online there is still a community for it. I think it's called WarcraftIII arena. They have servers and their own ladder outside of battle net. I don't know exactly where to find it but I haven't really looked either. A quick google search should be easy enough.
>>260810021

>>260813346
Which one is that
>>260813346
Spam ghouls & necros, meat wagons with exhume corpses and just keep the ghouls on wood when not in combat.
>>260813346
Learn to micro, use hotkeys and use heroes.
>>260813519
The one where you have to survive 30 minutes and stop Kel'thuzad egtting rekd. I keep getting destroyed in the last minute or so.
>>260813346
>>260813519
It's the one where you defend Kel'Thuzad for a long ass time.
Just make a lot of units. Have a few Necromancers to raise skeletons.
>>260813346
did you try building few meat wagons to deal with steam engines? it might be worth it building either several spirit towers or necropoleis at the portal entrance

You always gotta miss out on something. I never played Ultima Online or Doom as a kid, even though they were available. In fact, I didn't play many shooters at all. No Counter Strike. I did play Unreal Tournament, which had some cool custom maps, but wasn't even aware of Quake. Probably would have loved it if I had known.
Spent so much time in WC3. I must have sunk thousands of hours into it. Easily the most addicted I've ever been to any game.

I loved going shaman and just pillaging the shit out of the enemy.
Wow.
OP here, just went through the prologue on Hard. I knew this game was popular but it's nice to see a thread bloom like this.
About to start the human campaign but I might only do one level before I hit the hay. It's fun. A little archaic in the control scheme what with having to click repair and then the building you want repaired, but that's to be expected due to the age of the game.
I like the old timey voice acting. Feels video gamey. Feels good, man. Also gotta love Orcs being portrayed as actual sentient creatures and not just mindless killing machines.
>>260815260
You can just right click to repair, though.
>>260815260

The only thing I found Paladin good for was fast-creeping the natural expansion on Lost Temple.
Maybe I'm wrong and seriously underestimating Devotion Aura. But Pre-Blizzard nerf (limited number of targets hit) Archmage was the shit.

>>260816965
yeah nah the pally guys are probably casuals. As a guy who broke into the top 200 solo I can say that archmage is generally the no. 1 choice or in some instances vs orc like>>260816185 said you can roll a mountain king. I liked the idea behind the kael'thas hero (cant remember the archetype) but the fucker takes too much mana to be useful

Bloodmage was hot garbage - mana hungry garbage. And yeah, I'm glad SOMEONE is saying Paladin was total trash. Sure, it is absolutely broken to revive like 6 dead units, until you realize you must be playing the biggest retards in the world if they let you get a Paladin to level 6.
Loved the inclusion of the Tavern so much. It may have broken the balance of the game with its inclusion.

I thought it was funny how in the final Human mission of RoC you could just suit up Arthas, turn on Divine Shield, and just one-shot the entire enemy base one building at a time.
I feel like playing some WC3 online. What's the best/easiest way to get in on some action these days?
>>260818876
this
>>260818876
It did a good job of showing how powerful Frostmourne is. Then it is back to normal damage in undead campaign.
From release to today, I've played it every day. Soul Chess, Plague, Shiverbane, Destiny Battle, Hell Vs Heaven's remakes, Diablo Arena, Upadoro TD and Bug Evolution were all my favorites. I nust have over 10,000 hours in this game. I'm not sure how I feel about having been through the young days and the entirety of the golden age. I feel great sadness that it's over, and that it'll never be the same. I hope the Dota 2 mapmaker will atleast allow some of the great maps from a better time to be remade, and become popularized.
God knows Blizzard isn't going to give us a WC4 we wanted.

I played wow before wc3 and a lot of things looked weird or were just "there" and "in the now" and the significance never really donged on me till I played this game.
then I was like "oh, ok... now that makes sense."

>>260820501
BM as in Beastmaster?
Dispel/purge wrecks him. Get priests/spirit walkers to Adept and spam mass dispel to destroy his boars. Orcs can obliterate his bear with a novice level shaman purge.
Undead, you're better off going Banshees so you can posess the bear if it's high level. Sure, it might be a waste considering the timed life but trading a support caster for that fucking bear is worth it in most circumstances.
>you will never play Warcraft 4
>>260813961

I haven't touched any blizzard product post WC3 and its the only thing they could make to lure me back. Realistically it'll be shit if its ever made ( they'd probably use SC2 poor episodic format as a similar release schedule ) but there's a part of me that thinks there is at least one capable person with enough of a passion for the series to inspire the muppets into not releasing a piece of shit. Faint hope as it may be.
>>260822228
Dumbest post of the thread
I love Starcraft. I love Brood War. Warcraft III en(thrall)ed me and Frozen Throne was even better. Even played WoW for too long that it's embarrassing. Diablo I I wasn't into, Diablo II was so good but I only played single player off battle.net since it was pirated years after the fact
I don't know what to do now. SCII was a shame, campaign wise, I'm not purchasing that shit. I played my share of DotA back on battle.net but I don't like league of legends or the dota ii community at all.
>>260820942
my bad
i meant BM as in beastmaster
>>260821776
no i mean that as in how do you play BM when youre playing against a heavy dispel/purge line up
banshees are kind of a big investment just to posess the bear
and most bms would rather go for hawks and boars because
heroes will just shit on your bears because heavy armor is shit and they'd nuke it to death for easy exp
>>260822421

What was blizzard thinking.
>>260822551
Well, the first thing is that you kind of need to either make BM your first hero or not take him at all. His big thing is that he can dominate early on with his summons, when the unit count is small and you need to save every gold coin you can.
He's pretty damned good at early rushing because of that. You don't necessarily need to end the game before the 10-minute mark, just delay them enough for you to get the technology advantage and then take their base before they achieve such counters.
If that's not possible, building units that counter dispellers are your next best option. Get a Hex or a Sleep, or a unit with Devour so you can take the dispelling units out of the fight before they can destroy you.

Also I own two warcraft books i've read more than once so it's not like the game and lore is uninteresting.
Custom maps are by far the greatest thing to come out of WC3, do not miss them after you finish single player. Also getting The Frozen Throne is highly recommended.

Orcs had no reason to fight anyone while the events of TFT were going on. They didn't need to fight any nelfs, the humans were leaving them the fuck alone for once (Except for Kul Tiras, which HEY LOOK AT THAT, is what you fight in Rexxar's campaign), and undead were across the ocean.

Most of us haven't touched the game for at least five years.
We're grateful someone mentioned it, but the "conventional" go-to of B.Net is dead.

They don't need the Blight, man. All that really does in combat is make them move faster.
UD are fun as fuck because you can drop an instant army on top of a base with nothing but necromancers and meat wagons. Seriously, that strategy is so hilariousand mediocrethat it's practically standard for an UD player to have it dedicated as their standard strat unless they see Night Elves in initial scouting.

I like the undead because they play more like a zerg race than the zerg ever had.

but then dem cutscenes will be shit and not nearly as dramatic.

Undead is and will be the most useless race.
In team games they are the most broken motherfuckers with acolyte massing.
>>260825937
wand of necromancy has so much uses for UD
destoryers, lich can abuse them for free mana through devour magic or dark ritual
dark ranger (although a tavern hero) can get free skellies with dark arrows which can feed free mana for your lich
she also benefits from death coil heal

I hate blizzard as much as the next guy but I like the GOAT cutscenes
>Blizzard makes the CGI for the WC1 Movie

>>260826117
But the gameplay will be actually good.
Every single competent employee Blizzard ever had left the company long ago.
I remember playing this one custom map with my friends that was called resident evil or something, you explored the mansion from RE1 as a WC3 map.
We never got far into it, there was some kind of puzzle in the game that we couldn't work out. A door blocked by instant death fire that gave a hint about needing a lot of water to put it out, we found something like a tank of water that had a suggestively similar description but never worked out how to apply the water to the fire.
Anyone recognize this?
>>260824825
its the same engine with higher resolution units
>>260826117
WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT CUTSCENES.
You know what's dramatic? Holding out for 30 minutes against wave after wave of enemies, trying to go for secondary objectives, and scrambling to adapt your defenses as your fort comes crashing down with 5 minutes left. THAT's dramatic.
Or how about pushing to break the uphill part of a base, only to run into that pesky enemy hero that's been harassing you forever and pray that you can take him out before he flips your assault on you.
The best part of those campagins were when shit got tense, not when the cutscenes said it was.
>>260826487
blizz has very talented cgi designers
i bet some of them worked with pixar at some point
>>260826209
I encountered that on ladder a lot recently, such bullshit strat.
>>260826295
There is no useless race, depends on your playstyle, I just can't get into orc and find them "useless". Also in teamgames mass wyrms gg
>>260826487
Killing you, Father!
>>260826684
Both parts you described in that post were made by blizzard at one point.
I was just sayin' it's a shame those nice cut scene makers are going to waste now.
>>260826949
It's only bullshit if you don't scout and see it coming from a mile away. One priest or spirit walker, three wisps, or a Lich/Dreadlord ruin the strategy.

My childhood
Uther: Glad I could make it, Arthas.
Arthas: I watch my tone with you, old man. I may be the prince, but you're still my superior as a paladin.
Uther: As if you could forget. Yes Arthas, there's something about the plague I should know. ...Oh no, it's already begun. These people may look fine now, but it's only a matter of time before they turn into the Undead!
Arthas: What?!
Uther: This entire city must be purged.
Arthas: How can I even consider that? There's got to be some other way.
Uther: Damn it, Arthas! As my future king, order me to purge this city!
Arthas: I am not your king yet, old man. Nor should you obey that command even if I were.
Uther: Then you must consider this an act of treason.
Arthas: Treason?! Have I lost my mind, Uther?
Uther: Have you? Prince Arthas, by right of succession and the sovereignty of your crown, you must hereby relieve me of my command, and suspend my paladins from service.
Jaina: Uther! He can't just--
Uther: It's done! Those of you who have the will to save this land, follow him. The rest of you... get out of his sight.
Arthas: I've just crossed a terrible threshold, Uther.
Jaina: ...Arthas?
Arthas: I'm sorry, Jaina. You can't watch me do this.
>>260827430
Every time.
I've wasted a decade of my life on that game. Time well spent.
I've actually achieved boredom with it now, for the most part. The only game I play occasionally now is Risk Devolution, but even that has gotten boring once I figured out how to consistently win.
maybe I'll try WoW now

I think Arthas would only have been saved if someone from Northrend had the goddamn sense to get on a fucking boat, sail south, and inform the Alliance that "some crazy shit is going on here; seriously in the past decade the spider kingdom all but disappeared."
>>260828551

>>260827909
>>260828709
Wait, didn't Arthas sabotage the boats?
>>260828387
They would've gone Northend with a bigger army and wipe out that vampire's army with ease
>>260828905
No, I mean long BEFORE Arthas even showed up to Northrend. I mean the moment something absolutely retarded started happening in Northrend one of the human colonies or Ogres or any fucking tribe had the brains to send for help.
The Alliance was just completely blindsided by the Blight. Cults had so much time to infiltrate and shit. But it must have happened in Northrend already, how the fuck did nobody get away with news that the undead were infesting the North Pole?
>>260829336
Wasn't it about being so close to the Lich King he could easily bend them to his will? Except of Nerubians who were resistant.
>>260824558
>Kill him before he wakes up
Attacking someone doesn't wake them up?
>>260803940
Nice game and the crushing disappointment that it will never be properly continued because Blizzard is all about MMO and casual shit now
>>260829818
Right, I totally forgot about that part. Sorry.
>>260829336
Most of the native creatures at Northrend were fighting against the Scourge at that time. Muradin and the Explorer's League were overrun by the Scourge when they were looking for Frostmourne.
Though you've got a point there. Muradin should have had the brains to pull back and call in an army when he saw the numbrer of fucking undead at Northrend.
OP here again.
Thanks for the cool thread guys. Just so you guys know I read all your comments cause I'ma fag like that. Maybe we should do some friendly online games and I can get my ass beat.
Does Gameranger support WC3? To be honest I pirated because I was bored and remembered that WC3 got talked about a lot, and I was dying for an RTS.
If I need an actual copy to play online then I'm sure I can track one down cheap, or my friend might actually have a copy.
>>260830587
IIRC Gameranger does support it, you can also try out Eurobattle.net and Tunngle.net, the latter has around 200 people playing daily but it's mostly a few custom games and it's hard to get a full game in my experience, the former is full of BR BR HUEHUE and hosting bots but a lot more people online.
>>260831047
Well, I might make another thread once I beat WC3 and get good at stomping the AI in skirmishes or whatever, to try and get some friendly matches going.
You know, for a place dedicated to video games we sure don't try and play together a whole lot?
>>260830506
>looking for Frostmourne
That's a fucking hole in the lore right there. How the hell did Muradin know that Frostmourne actually exists? Ner'zhul/Lich King and Frostmourne crashed to Northrend and waged war with the Nerubians for almost 10 years and you'll have to push through to tons of Undead and the Guardian just to get a glimpse of Frostmourne. No explorer could've been able to do that.
>>260825310
taurens also had an aoe stun, that with witch doctors badass healing they were high damage, stunlocking tanks. 2gud

I tried playing with people on /v/ 2 times and it's a terrible experience seeing as they were griefers and maymay spouting fuckers. I've also met people from /v/ playing competitive in CS:GO, all game long constant meme spouting, micspam and being annoying piece of shit.
