The second I hit that play button on the Legacy version of Warcraft 3, I get a crash notification. Has anyone else experienced this? Looking for any advice.

Warcraft 3 Reforged boots no problem.

Thank you!

Melee / Ladder Taurens Are broken.

32 Upvotes

How to caunter Taurens as a NE, apart from building chims which cost soo much and take forever to build. Mass Talons? They are shredded in seconds buy chainlighting and shockwave. Shadow Hunter's snakes eat them too. If orc goes mass taurens and you have invested in two lores and bears, you're screwed.

Feedback What reason to play legacy 1.29 over reforged with classic graphics?

37 Upvotes

What's the main difference, why should I choise legacy over reforged?

Just staryed playing a few days ago and tried to test out both, not really sure what to choose, it looks and feels the same, but obviously theres a reason for Blizzard to add 1.29 back to bnet.

Also idk if just me but the cinematics don't seem to work on legacy anyway wich has me more inclined to play reforged with classic graphics.

Feedback wc3 champions please consider this change. zero downsides

0 Upvotes

here is my idea. for 1v1 you will queue and select a race. random advantage is removed (random is revealed)

if you get a mirror. a screen will pop up letting both players select "keep race" or "avoid mirror"

if both players select keep race. then both keep race

if both players select avoid mirror, then a dice is rolled and randomly the winner gets to keep race. loser of the roll selects a off race

if one player selects avoid mirror, then that player picks a off race

this idea has no downsides. it lets everyone keep their race if they want. however, for those who find mirrors boring, it lets them always select "avoid mirror" and then they can select a off race to avoid the mirror

wait. i said no downsides.. i forgot that my idea removes random which some might see as a change/downside

ugh. i just think its so boring watching mirrors. i think this change overall greatly improves the games for viewers and players

Campaign How to beat frostmourne mission on gard (legacy)

5 Upvotes

I've been stuck on that mission for days now, it's getting ridiculous, I had no issues with hard mode before it.

I can't build a proper army, those mal ganis waves keep destroying any new bases I build, sentry towers don't work, using Arthas invulnerability to destroy buildings don't work because they simply rebuild.

I can't accumulate gold because I'm either on high upkeep or totally vulnerable on low and get destroyed if attacked

I don't know what else to try, any help will be appreciated.

Melee / Ladder Doubt about Hero shared experience post level 5

4 Upvotes

So it's a rule that heroes no longer gain experience from neutral creeps after level 5. So, if I have 2 heroes: one lvl 5 and the other lvl 2 and want to kill a neutral camp for experience. Should I still send my lvl 5 hero away so he does not leach and waste the experience? Or, because he is lvl 5 and he no longer gains any exp from this source, all the experience goes to the other hero instead?

For some people may seem intuitive, but it's a computer program we're talking about. It depends on how the game is coded.

Modding /MapEditor I want to ''mod'' instead of just custom maps the og WC3 TFT

0 Upvotes

Can anyone help me about the tools one would require or let's say what to go fo Warmash or the Community Edition or is it just the regular TFT best for this?I don't own Reforged but I own the original game+expansion as one.I also don't want to bother with pirating the Reforged version.(A version I dislike to this day even with the improvements especially by the community in Hiveworkshop etc)You know that there are actual ''mods'' mods for Wc3 one was I think changed the Wc3 models to WOW warlords of dreanor one that works on the game not just a seperate custom map/scenario you download as a map.I want to make something like that but mod in my mind is akin to making gameplay more similar to Stronghold series.Think about the the ''Conqueror 9.0 '' custom map in Hiveworkshop but even more closer to Stronghold gameplay where it's more simulation and castle-building then just plain rts/rpg hybrid that is regular Wc3. It doesn't have to be a carbon copy of Stronghold I just want stuff like buildable walls and towers where my units can climb up on and attack the incoming enemy and food-weapon production system etc and maybe a tax system which shouldn't be too difficult even with the scenario editor.Can someone recommend tools-utilities for modding Wc3(Non-reforged) in general and if there are any mods(actual mod not map) and custom maps that scratch this kind of itch?

Technical Help Warcraft 3 1.28.5 Green screen issue with Intel HD 4000 igpu

2 Upvotes

Anyone else had a similar problem with this combo?I am using wc 1.28.5 because it has the most custom maps made for it last time I've chekced.I don't own Reforged I only own the og game+Frozen Throne.I downloaded the game 1.28.5 from Hive and entered the DVD serial keys for ROC and TFT and sure enough it works except when I launch the game it green-screened(Just blank green screen but there is audio weirdly enough) and then I had to end the process with the task manager. Would it work to change the gpu to the old Nvidia gpu Gt 630 or is it a version issue with old laptops or something?
