What were you doing when WarCraft 3 was released?I was reading about it in a vidya magazine
look at this, surely it will run on my PC
edonkey?
>>738603527I'm sorry but Reforged destroyed WC3's reputation beyond hope
I wasn't alive
>>738603527>What were you doing when WarCraft 3 was released?i was doing whatever 2 year olds do, probably sucking on huge tits and crying
>Blizzard puts Diablo II on Steam>Still hasn't put WC3 on thereWhat's the deal?!

>>738603882don't mention Reforged here. Ever.
>>738603527playing wc3
We had it in the shared drive at high school, so we could download it to all the computer lab machines and play during lunch, good times
>>738603527>What were you doing when WarCraft 3 was released?buying a physical copy and later installing it on my pentium 3 450mhz, riva tnt2 pc
Playing a fuckton of WC3 obviously>Amazing campaigns>Bot skirmishes>The litany of custom games>Mauls>TDs>Hero Wars>Dota>Arenas>Open RPGs>Run kitty run>My Life as a Pimp >DBZRPG>Video Game RPGI remember around 2012 /v/ steam groups were a fad and I joined a group that played WC3 on the weekends.Still a part of that group, I wonder if any of them play still.
>>738603527idk i just started elementary so i was probably kicking a ball around with my friends and playing gameboy :)
>>738603527i was in 10th grade, confused and disappointed by it, since it was kinda like Age of Empires 2, but also not. And it wasn't anything like Warcraft 2.i liked the heroes tho, and the user manual was great.back when blizzard actually meant something.looking back on it now, it is possibly the best strategy game of that era. Even better than starcraft. tho all my friends at the time bitched and complained about upkeep (since all they played was starcraft).
>>738603527I got a Warcraft 3 Poster in a Game Informer mag once I didn't end up playing it 'til like 2005.
>>738603960>i was doing whatever 2 year olds do, probably sucking on huge tits and cryingHow long do you think babies nurse for?
>>738603527probably playing nox
>>738603527That was 5 years before I was born, sorry unc.
I found out about Warcraft 3 from a summer computer camp. Basically there to learn stuff like HTML and Flash, but they had a plethora of games like WC3, StarCraft, Worms 2, etc. that we could play during breaks. I remember begging my parents for them and played the shit out of them for the rest of Summer and beyond. Then I got to experience excitingly waiting for TFT and getting excited for WoW. Good times.
>>738603882retard take. I still play customs every day no problem
>>738603527That's my favorite videogame, particularly WoW the lore is unreal! And I love that Blizzard made it>>738605091>How long do you think babies nurse for?i sucked on my mom's huge pale tits until i was 10
>>738605094>hop on multiplayer>pick knight>charge in to random retard wizies and obliterate themThe dream
I was wondering why Lord of the Clans hasn't come out
>>738604732>WC3 custom gamesI WANT TO GO BACK PLEASE
>>738603527played red alert 2
>>738603527I think I was in the first or second grade when I was introduced to Starcraft in the computer room of a Boys & Girls club. It was my first RTS and got me into Blizzard games in general. My parents bought me the battle chest for our home pc and I loved playing it like every day.By the third grade I saw online that another RTS was already made and had just recently got a battle chest too. That Christmas I got Warcraft 3's battle chest and played the shit out of it for years.If anyone was beaten by Batman95 who main'd undead on ladder during 2003-2010. You were beaten by an actual child as young as 9.

>>738603527I honestly can't remember.I was definitely 9 but all the chronology is blended together, definitely was playing runescape. I didn't play wc3 until it was a battle chest in my teens, still have it to this day.
It's crazy how the entire lives we've lived depend on one moment. If a friend in elementary school hadn't given me a pirated copy of warcraft 3 one day, I wouldn't have discovered this series, nor played custom games and met the people that I have, nor started playing WoW later and discovered 4chan and ended up here and yada yada
>>738607638wish I had a dad like that, mine was just drinking, but still he took care of his family, I guess thanks to him I had a PC
>>738603527I was on holiday with my grandparents and obsessively reading a PC magazine about it. Then later a friend from school helped me pirate it and I played it like crazy, only to find out I absolutely suck. Instead of learning how to play, I just used cheats to beat the campaign

>>738603882Don't worry. There is the released Legacy version of the OG game.You need to go into the WarCraft III site on your Battle.net launcher, click on game version, choose the Legacy TFT 1.29 and install it.Only minus is that the Legacy version is fucked in one particular way...namely you can't launch the cinematics.
>>738603527Soo.....are you going to post the gameplay?
>>738603669>tfw had a '95 toaster till '05
>>738603527Working at Electronics Boutique.I won a signed copy of the collector's edition.
>>738603527Warcarft 3 itself was kind of boring, but the units, sounds and assets overall combined with custom games is something zoomers will never experience.It was a day and age before the boomer and Steam mentality of "don't do anything unless you get paid" took over the Internet and people actually made stuff for fun
>>738603527LAN parties with my bros, I miss those days.
grubby keeps this game alive
>>738617465>keeping the game alive by stomping random players with meme builds and making fun of them
>>738616365i didn't even know there was a collector's edition
>>738603527i was 13 so probably fucking my cousin
>>738617765living the dream
>>738617765you're laughing but that's exactly how
>>738603669You need more?It's not as if modern games actually look any better
>>738603527A family friend was our hairdresser. Her son recently bought the game. He was playing the human campaign. Was a year or so u til I got the game myself. I feel game release cycles were slower back the but prob just cause I didn't know what was available.Still remember the feeling of awe. It's art direction, graphical style and music/sound effects still blows my mind to this day.
>>738616365nice!
>>738603669My mom's home office had a p3 box that could run it at full settings but the old p2 box I had could run it if you dropped it down a bit. But I had a crt and had been playing starcraft for years so running it at 480 wasn't a big deal.
>>738617465>>738617765hate this fag's wholesome chungus mask he puts on but lets slip every now and then revealing an insufferable narcissist inside
>>738619560Dota did a good job exposing him
>>738619606whats shoving
>>738607746Light the way.I remember seeing the end cutscene on Cinematech and being happy they made another warcraft. I paid my sister to order a copy off the internet cus she had a debit card. Thanks sis.
>>738617846I think it was their first one. At least the first in this style.
>>738603882All reforged did was make Warcraft 3's flaws abundantly clear because they got a new paint of coat
>>738619606how did it expose him if he made it to immortal
>>738603527>>738603882>>738603669Does anyone have a clean download link of NON-Reforged Warcratf 3/Frozen Throne?Either the installers or already installed?I had the game installed on an USB, but the USB died recently.I went to the /v/ archives and I found some download links by anons sharing their installers on Mega.But when I downloaded them Windows Defender freaked the fuck out about a "virus" and forced me to delete the entire thing.
>>738620690oh well you better listen to windows defender. it knows what products microsoft can't sell you I MEAN what programs are bad for your computer
>>738603527How do you even play it nowadays? It's always an exorbitant price on the reforged package.
>>738603527If I remember well I was on holiday at a sea town, played on mom's laptop.
>>738603527I knew about Warcraft 2 existing but haven't gotten the chance to play it at the time (the only rts I've played were broodwar and age of empires)One day I was at an internet cafe and I saw a guy playing some cool looking game and I asked him what he was playing. He answered "Warcraft 3". Confused, since the game didn't look like orcs OR humans were on screen, I asked him which of the two he was playing. When he answered "undead" it blew my fucking mind and I knew that I had to get this game immediately.
>>738603882tried it once then never again, i stick to my release CDs. Playing old Warcraft before the balance patches is hilarious thought, before towers got fortified armor and were just heavy armor; casters having piercing attacks not magic, just spam polymorph and they delete everything.
>>738620674Like half the playerbase is immortal
>>738603527I was just starting school and begging my parents to buy me a computer. 2 years later they did, I got the game and it's my favorite game to this day.
>>738620554This doesn't make any sense. Stupid nigger
>>738604732What were your favourite maps?Here are some:- X Hero Siege- Green TD- Element TD- DBZ Tribute- Naruto Wars- Bleach vs One Piece- World of Warcraft RISK- The Third War- Pimp my Peon- Line Tower Wars- Tropical Tower Wars- Castle FightI might come up with more
>>738603527what the fuck when did they add the 1.29 client to b.net?
>>738626436- Vampirism Fire- Angel Arena- Harry Potter Wiz Wars- God's Land- Footman Frenzy- Life of a Peasant God- Hero Line Wars- 10 Hero Siege- Anime Hero Arena

>>738611264You can fix the cinematics by manually installing a dll in the game files with the command line.
>>738603882the greatest Sin in video game history

So how good or bad are the races in multiplayer? I know people say Undead are the best, but looking at their general win/loss rate, they're not too far out of par from the others. The higher up the MMR you get, it's basically just 3 guys dominating, and the rest of the race isn't really represented outside of them. So is Undead only considered good because of Happy, or is Happy good because the Undead are good?
>>738631170happy mogs
>>738631170pros are on an entirely different level than youplay what you like
>>738631170i always won the most with night elf. i liked undead the most but i was shit with them
I remember when warcraft 3 released. I still had dialup, and spent a week downloading a multi-part cracked version from a warez site.I played for maybe 3 hours then went back to warcraft 2 because I fucking hate rts that have activated unit abilities and you can get by in warcraft 2 with only ever casting blood lust.
>>738630736>>738628532No problem and thanks, I found the official installers on an old blizzard thread and I used one of the keys in the /v/ archive and installed just fine.For reason reason Windows Defender just freaked out about the files compiled by other people.
>>738631170If you're not making your living playing the game you are not on a level where you need to care about this.
Who was the artist for the box art?
>>738604732My favorite UMS in WC3 was Tides of Blood. It was never as big as DotA (obviously) but I think it did the game style a lot better. Unique sides with their own sets of heroes and light base building system.But I played way more UMS maps in Starcraft 1. It was basically all I played for 2 years in college.
>>738632732I also enjoyed tides of bloodI have thousands of hours in dota 2 but I do hate going back and playing custom maps with recipes in them though.
>>738632932I switched to Heroes of Newerth and played that until Heroes of the Storm came out. I tried DotA2 but I couldn't hang with it given the advances the genre made in HoN and HotS. When Blizzard killed HotS I stopped playing games in the genre entirely. It's a bit of a loss, but I've got a lot more free time now.
>>738603882>I'm sorry but WoW and DotA 2 destroyed WC3's reputation beyond hopeFTFYIt's funny to think about in retrospect, but WC3 has so little to stand on beyond its multiplayer capabilities, so when that started getting phased out in favor of the aforementioned dogshit, well, fuck it.Of course there are some people who maintain that it's still reputable for the story, but I don't like punching down, so we'll leave that for another time.
>>738603527>What were you doing when WarCraft 3 was released?playing it. and if you weren't you dont belong here
>>738603527Tried to play it (pirated version), but my PC was running it at 11 fps :(
>>738631170Always found undead mechanically most difficult. I always defaulted to orc cause they seemed the most straight forward and I guess I like them.But this game suffers very much from 'my race is harder than yours'. Play what you want, you are going to garbage relatively to the big bois regardless
>>738633839And that I think most of the difficulty from this game from the meta decisions on specific maps regardless of race. Like what creep camps should I be doing, should I harss, should I expand etc. Warcraft has quite a low APM level needed to be somewhat competent
>>738632609it's samwise?
>>738603527nothing will ever beat this game, early bnet, early custom games. Waking up early to play random custom games before school. good times.
>>738603527First discovered WarCraft 3 in my father's MacWorld magazines.
>>738605094God I love Nox, what a marvelous game. One of Westwood's finest. I remember Tiberian Sun actually came with a teaser trailer for Nox, I must've watched it like 20 times.

>>738604085Remember the reforged shitshow? That is why
>>738633250>WC3 has so little to stand on beyond its multiplayer capabilitiesThis is the worst take I have ever seen.
>>738637048it's okay to be bad at things
>>738603527That was my summer vacation between going into 8th grade. I was playing a lot of Diablo 2 LoD and also Dark Age of Camelot with some of my boys I used to skateboard with at the time. I was a fan of WC 3 it was a nice little game that got tossed into a good rotation. Good good fucking times.
>>738603669Warcraft 3 runs on a potato but memory usually starts leaking if the game runs longer than 30 minutes.My old computer has 512 MB and Warcraft 3 regularly consumes most of it.
>>738620690Blizzard added pre-reforged version of Warcraft 3 version 1.29.2 just two weeks ago if you have claimed or bought Warcraft 3.Otherwise get the official 1.27 PTR RoC installer straight from Blizzard, install it, delete the whole folder, and copy paste the 1.30.1 archive.https://us.battle.net/download/getLegacy?product=WAR3&locale=enUS&os=WINhttps://www.hiveworkshop.com/downloads/Patches/Files_1.30.1.zipCheck this site if you want to play other older builds.https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/wc3-download-archive-1-00-1-31-1-beta-demo.326836/
>>738603527Camping EB Games with my father, who bought it for me
>>738633250you are too stupid to be allowed to breath the same air as me, kill yourself
I’ve barely played the game and it’s in my backlog, got the non-reforged version installer waiting on my hdd
>>738603527Playing Baldur's Gate 2. When I actually sat down and played WC3 I didn't like it.
I'm a simple man I like sheep tag and all the variations .
>>738603527Jerking off 10 times a day and playing warcraft 3 what else would I be doing?
>>738603669Imagine what the brand new gpus were like back then, now we take it for granted for how easy it is to run these old classics but back then it's like how it was 6 years ago (before crypto and AI ruined the hardware market). For some of the uncs, they had to sell their grandma for parts in order to play these games.
>>738603527I was playing it. One of my best friends had gotten it and we spent almost every day after school playing the game at his pc
>>738641728Based
>>738620690I've the v1.27b downloader with me. How would you like me to upload it?
>>738633250What are you talking about? The reason assfaggot exist is because of WC3 and its multiplayer. The SP is one of the most engaging in all of RTS, and as for WoW, it's hard to make a contrast because both games are made by the same company aka it's a natural evolution forward, not something to put down on the predecessor.
>>738641832>>738620690fyi 1.26a/b is the last version where things mostly worked and also you can download a widescreen mod .dll from the hive workshop somewhere for those older versions if you google it
>>738640013>copy paste the 1.30.1 archive.What does this do?
>>738641931It creates the HANTAvirus Don't Do it!!1!
>>738619560Since he's been like that even in the olden days, you just kind of have to accept it for the sake of WC3 getting newer content.
>>738641725as you can see it requires RIVA TNT card to run it, its a 1998 card running a 2002 game, that was actually a miracle, but yeah shit was running fast back then, every year games would get more demanding
>>738603527Everyone in school was playing it even the girls
>>738613987
>>738617171There are still tons of people who make stuffs for fun today but you faggots are so entitled and spiteful even over free contents that many refuse to waste their resources creating them unless they're monetized or compensated. You're the problem, the mindless consumers sitting creating nothing and shitting out of his mouth is part of what's ruining games.
>>738641725doom 3 came out in 2004 and it was considered a miracle of optimization that people were able to get it to run on a voodoo 2, a 6 year old card at the time. today a 3090 is as old as the voodoo 2 was then and people will complain that modern games won't run on even older cards.
>>738631170Undead is clearly the best since they have the best heroes, nukes, auras, regen, dispell unit, workers. You can just outkite your opponents and counter everything they do though since most of the playerbase sucks they think UD is weak and complain about human instead.
>>738643565That era was devs making massive strides every year in terms of graphicsToday I am expected to have a 5090 to run a game that looks like a game made for 1060
>>738643565>doom 3 came out in 2004 and it was considered a miracle of optimization that people were able to get it to run on a voodoo 2This was probably some kind of meme optimization. I had a 9200 Pro and to get it to run at a decent framerate the game had to look like clay blobs.
>>738631170It's pretty balanced all things considered. Orcs are probably the easiest. Nelves suffer from only having a few viable options at high tier play but still work. Undead are the best but not by a meaningful amount for anyone that isn't top of the ladder.
I started playing Warcraft 3 because of Basshunter's song about DotA.When I finally played DotA, it sucked. Good thing the rest of the game was fun.
>>738643565When Doom 3 came out the graphical arms race was at its peak. A 6yr old card being able to do that at all would sound pretty damn impressive.
>>738603527I actually just started playing through WC3 so it's funny to see this thread. I played it a bunch as a kid but never the campaigns, I just played skirmish. It's been fun, just got to the human campaign, I can see why it was so influential. I've been playing the remake of it in starcraft 2 since I didn't want to pay for reforged. Works surprisingly well
>>738620690How can you be this tech illiterate
>>738645610>just got to the human campaign>the first campaign outside of the short orc "tutorial">remake of it in starcraft 2what the fuck even are youjust play the original game you weirdo
>>738643565>run on voodoo2technically thats true but philosophically speaking that was unplayable
>>738645710I think practically it would've been unplayable. But it could technically get it running.
>>738607708This. Or RA2. Or Sudden Strike.Or AoE2.Man, I did enjoy RTS golden age.
>>738645679Because it's free and it works? Dumb fag
>>738646574so is wc3 you dumb faggot
>>738642891>shit was running fast back thenThere was another rather important difference
>>738603527I just walked inside a gaming store and there it was. What a treasure.
>>738603882The fact that you're the one that brought it up shows that the problem is you
>>738603527I was 6 years old and playing JSRF on the XboxPlayed War3 when I was a teenager though. Was pretty alright
>>738645610The SC2 remake looks genuinely impressive, but you'll never catch me installing Battle.Net
>>738643565The difference is that Doom 3 and Quake 3 are fucking miles apart visually while a 2026 game looks no different from a 2020 game while running like pig shit. There hasn't been a serious leap in graphics since the 360 generation.
>>738641905...assfaggot?
>>738603669I ran it on the family Pentium III HP Pavillion pc
got a friend to give me a cracked copy
Damn this game is amazing! It's even better then Warcraft II.Can't wait for Warcraft IV to come out!
>>738603882The original still exists. Please don't be retarded and say that Reforged replaces the original, because you can still install the original without it turning into Reforged as long as you don't go online.
>>738620751>>738645654It was LITERALLY a virus hackerI had to run like 5 different scanners to see if this thing left something hidden somewhere
>>738651549he's talking about reputation
>>738604732>>738606032Literally playing it right now, some custom RPGs are fucking bonkers bro
It will never not be funny that Blizzard turned down Icefrog to make a standalone Dota game, because "there is no way people would play that"
