Posted by Patrik "Raistlin" Hellstrand 1 year ago
In a video interview, we find out that Blizzard is currently working on a balance patch for WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne. We also get to know what it's like working at Blizzard, what system specifics (!) the StarCraft 2 Lead Technical Artist Rob McNaughton has had.

WTF? A balance patch for wc3  After they said they stopped supporting wc3 they will try to balance it? |
3
| :) finally ... <3 blizzard !!! |
| nice interview, tnx |
| #1 Hell yeahhh |
| FINALLY!! wc3 balance patch...thank god, my suggestions wud be to add 10 to max dmg of bm, its not high enuf yet |
| yeah but 4 races arent that easy to be balanced, like the 25 patches they did before. |
| Woah, another patch to WC3 :D This is Blizzard man, the unique game company in the world which cares about their 8 years old games  Imo they should make Warcraft 4 instead WoW. But its impossible, WoW = a lot of golds to Blizzard :( |
| BM imba WD imba that all |
| ORC=UD AFTER THE BALANCE! ! ! I'll miss it =( I think that the matches that they have to balance are 1.ALL MATCHES BESIDES MIRORRS :-d |
| hope ppl who worked on wc3 and then went sc2 now return to wc3 and fix all :P |
| Did you know that a lvl 10 dh wins vs. a lvl 10 bm, without any items? Tested ceveral times.. |
| Tallon 165->200 gold? :D:D:D:D:D Cmon! |
| balance patch : All orcs units add +5 bonus damage vs Undead units. xD |
| it's a miracle! |
| awkward interview lol |
| Soe > him |
| The interviewer isn't very charismatic but it got the job done. Good interview.. I really liked the speed drawing ^_^ As for their patching, overall they've done a good job with the games, but over the past 2 years or so they have NOT been keeping up. Last balance patch I remember was so long ago with increased zig armor and increased dryad exp etc. Hopefully as the interviewee claims, they'll start patching regularly as long as the game is played (ofc it wouldn't be near death if they had just kept up with patching in the first place!!!!) |
| they must nerf towers and gryphs so i can start playing wc3 again :D #8 noob. and wtf is WD? |
| #7 They are making Warcraft 4 right after SC2 is done...google it, I think the co-founder slipped it out saying "WC4 will have the same campaign concept as SC2 being shipped out separately" even though its gonna be a bitch to buy...I will definitely go out and buy it |
| #12 haha said orc player xDD |
| haha wc3 balance? impossible ! |
| #21 Well we all will agree to make undead some imbalance, coil criticaaal!!! :D:D:D |
| #18 >noob >what is WD Typical orc. |
| The headline for this should be WC3 Balance Patch!!!!! Holy crap, this is awesome :D. |
| The revenge of undead? |
| To 23# WD is Wardon |
#24 Agreed  |
| whats a wardon? Frost wyrm now has Chaos Damage and splash aoe increased to 1000 from 100. Death Knight's Coil now has no cooldown, and mana usage decreased to 10 from 75. Each Critical Strike from Blade Master now deals to him 50% the damage of the Critical. That would be fair, revenge of the undeads. |
| P.S the interviewer was really a retard.. |
| haahhaha :} <3 blizzard .. hey #9 its with the six new heroes that patch? i guess blizzard will add even more news : | great job after that patch start work on warcraft 4 ! : / blizzard running for money ! to continue wow..... but if make warcraft 4 would give u even more money ).. #9! are u alive ? .. lol long time dont have u in skype. |
balance  |
| #30 man I miss you , bear hug? xD ps: I think that blizzard will give resistance to undead units from Ensnare,Hex,Wind Walk charge and critical strike. |
| ye that's it .. and the new heroe's skill that from dmg u just healled..=d |
| My advise for more balance: Hu: give AM less mana, delete stun from MK bolt, make alls casters costs +50 gold, remove invisibility skill from sorcs, nerf towers, delete gryphons. Ne: nerf DH, this hero is insane and imba, remove rejuvenation from bears, make archers and dryads more xp, make talons +60 gold, remove jesus staff + orb from shop. Ud: give DK less mana, make statues tier 3 units, make tower upgrades +200 gold, remove web from fiends, give abo less hp. Or: seems balanced, maybe raider needs + attack and burrows more hp. Also, a jesus staff in shop would be nice. |
| #34 You should go to the doctor :( |
| #34 is troll obviously:D orc napsXD |
| My advice : HU:nerf towers,reduce gryphon hp and dmg.get bolt stun for 3 secs , 2 sec for heroes. NE:Nerf DH , get talons cost + 35 gold , reduce cyclone ro 17 sec instead of 20 sec, 6 sec on heroes. up the time of rejuveration to 16 sec instead of 12 sec.nerf huntresses. UD: Get rasistance of orcish spells : Ensare (from 12(I advice to balance it,,from 12 sec to 8 sec.) sec to 6 sec) ,Hex ( from 15/30/45 sec to 10/15/20) wind walk charge from 40/70/100 to 30/60/80),Reduce garg dmg,reduce meat wagon dmg.reduce fiends HP from 550 to 510. get +70 dmg to the wagon that deals vs units with light armor(air units that being webbed of course...). ORC: nerf BM, get it's critical to deal less dmg,get from 15% change to 12% chance ,ensnare from 12 sec to 8 sec ( 2 sec on heroes),reduce demolisher dmg,get borrow buffed HP/Armor and Towers. reduce grunt dmg -2. Natural: get the new 2 tavern heroes that was tested by blizzard. Don't flame that this opinion's bad, It's my opinion :) =D |
| Seriously, why are so many people asking for a nerf on human towers. Are the humans already not weak enough?! Without the towers, they are just a sitting duck for pandas, warden, bm, and even huntresses. If anything, they actually might need a buff like a little more damage for breakers. The human army drop like flies, especially to aoe heroes. |
| How much mana gives AM's aura? I think if it is lower then DK's aura or more but Mana > Hp (Moonwells says it!) :D |
| #38 I think that players say this Enough ... But just ask the non-human player and You'll see what they think! Blizzard have to change the human race behavior from being towergays... I do not say that blizzard have to remove the towers from the human race, They just have to do something that You'll notice the towers strategies less... nerfing tower will be good! |
| @#40 You can't just nerf human towers without giving them something. If you do, you might as well just remove the whole race from the game as they would not be able to win against anybody. The human army as of now simply cannot stand toe to toe with other races, especially in the early game. |
| Hmm I think that There's Truth about what you say... I really agree that the towers can be nerfed but blizzard have to give them something that they'll continue to serve you loyaly. |
| #43 #44 wtf? |
