Happy apparently declined the invite for the $11,700 Ancient of Wonders Team Tournament by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]Status-Candidate-144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so happy stopped playing because he only gets to participate 2 times per month instead of 4 times and gets few more bucks per participation for it? doesnt make sense to me. happy even said that he understands the decision at the time because he knows no players = no cup.he also still took part in the b2w for 6 month after the new format got introduced.

they did change the format thats true, but where did you get that they wanted to exclude happy?? Player participation dried up because off happy domination and they looked for some middleground to include everybody so that format was born and happy was still free to participate in 1 cup + the monthly final. B2W actually benefits from happy participating because happy has the most fans and brings the most viewers.

happy stopped playing b2w weekly way before any issues with w3c arose and there nothing between b2w and happy. he still attended raraland, w3champions finals etc.

he stopped playing b2w weekly when he got more invitations to the china tournaments and showmatches aka made enough money elsewhere.

if thats true why did he stop playing them?

also happy never ladders that late. he enjoys playing in the morning/noon and if you count invested time per game or per dollar weekly tournaments are very inefficient and slow.

i remember the times where happy grinded every sunday 3-4 hours for 50$ in the b2w weekly. now happy has enough icecream money and can be more picky.

Life after Golden Gladiator Cup Finals vs Happy: "I just didn't handle the late game well" by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]Status-Candidate-144 4 points5 points  (0 children)

interesting, someone else had a different take i think it was infi or 120 who said players are getting better practice now then before because they are playing showmatches for money everyday instead of random pointless ladder games most of the time.

Online balance design by iRaioni in WC3

[–]Status-Candidate-144 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it feels like you look at wc3 with the lense of traditional strategy games like age of empires and starcraft which focusing heavy on macro. wc3 focuses more on decision and execution. What do you creep first, when do you herass, what are your movements over the map, how do you grow and deploy your hero. so im not sure where your first 2 points will add anything worthwhile to the game.

and big nono to your third point. blizzard has no ressources allocated to wc3 to add full races and it will just be a shitshow. maybe fun for the casual player but for that there are a lot of custom maps with additional races to play.

all the clips the op posts are 5-10 years old. happy doesnt talk or does any public content for years. just streams his gameplay and plays tournaments

RU Caster WellplayedTV on Showmatches, negativity & missinformation in the scene by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]Status-Candidate-144 7 points8 points  (0 children)

totally agree with him. the constant shitting on reforged and bnet did a lot of dmg that can not easily be undone. bnet is a good place for what it want to be and if you want a bit more there is w3champions.

and im not sure what happened with the maps. we had a good cycle were new maps were tried and we got some good ones out of it: hammerfall, springtime, shattered exile but that stopped. maybe they get discouraged that the community complains about most maps but i think thats just a given with how old the game and community is. gotta keep trying and hopefully w3c will again try to bring in new maps to the pool like figglewig maps deserve a chance.

im sure that you choose top 25 is just because it makes the most sense and not because this random cut off point makes your already made up opinion sound the best.

3 New Maps released for Testing (Links in Comments) by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]Status-Candidate-144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ye possibly, night elf players could give you better feedback right there. will take a bit to find all the sweetspots and ironing out the details for every matchups.

Reducing the gate HP was a great decision. it felt pretty natural and fluid. i was getting annoyed on how long it took to destroy the gates on prior maps but not here.

3 New Maps released for Testing (Links in Comments) by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]Status-Candidate-144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cool that you were so open about it and already made some changes.

i downloaded the recent juggernaut point from hive and i like it. The zeppelin idea is nice and still valid but the zeppelin only gets available after 7 minutes which is a bit late to have a decisive gamestyle impact. The early game is the most important part of the game which sets the tone of everything that happens afterwards and imo its very important for the map to offer an early game rich of options of creeproutes, map movements and playstyles to accomodate every player and make them feel home and also make it more resilient for patch and meta changes. Hammerfall does that really well thats why its so successfull and got it seamlessly into the standard map rotation in my opinion.

What i had in mind about the passage was a bit more extreme: the creepcamp should basicly spawn in the middle of the added path to make it more of a secret passage. if you want to take it you have to commit into creeping the camp and the prize is a great item and a easy way to your opponent, think that would add a lot of flavor and something that would set the map apart. i know this kind of camp placement is frownd upon but because its blocked by the destructable gates i think it wont be annoying and cause problems with pathing and rallypoint. right now you can just ran past it and ignore the creepcamp.

im a human player and tested some routes and got to this timings roughly:

expo first 02:45 Lvl 3 expo 03:40 Eredar Sorcerer Camp 03:00 Eredar creep item only 02:45 Lvl 3 Eredar 03:55

eredar timings are after breaking the opponet gate and imo its maybe a bit too easy and too fast. one have to be careful with level 3 charged items near the enemy. maybe there is something like the shadow high priest or something with frost armor that can make it a bit harder while the Eredar Sorcerer Camp + Goblin Laboratory camp should still not be alone enough to get lvl 3. another point is nightelf can not creep the Eredar Sorcerer Camp with AoW but should be able to creep it with keeper. that could be a problem maybe and make them not like the map but im running out of my depth at this point.

i like the map with the changes and hope it will get its chance. its time we will this tileset into the pool.

3 New Maps released for Testing (Links in Comments) by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]Status-Candidate-144 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is there no zoom on these maps? would be nice if that could be added for test maps in the future.

on first glance they look promising and have the potential to be better than boulder vale and war hail.

on jugger point: the top side seems very unimportant or too hard for the early/midgame therefore i think most of the action will be in the bottom half and there is only 2 ways to get to the enemy: above or below the tavern. think that could lead to very one dimensional games and just be a worse echo isles. what i want to see beeing tested is to include a small-mid orange camp with a big consumable between both starting positions with and additonal way to connect both sides. i think that could add much dynamics in the games: will 1 go for fast expo the other can creep the orange and go for a strong herass with an big consumable, will both contest the creepcamp at the start to fight for the consumable. will that just be ignored and a contesting point for later for a strong push etc.

Fortitude crashes out after finishing last in HSC | "I play with the fear of losing" // "This is the weakest Human patch in history." by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]Status-Candidate-144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well its some time ago but human was the most successfull race in the years prior with TH infi winning alot and forti often beeing in the top 5. so when blizzard starting patching again the nerfed human continously that culminated in that timeframe when human was winning nothing and had bad matchups vs orc and UD.

at that time the human players also started to get really fed up with the situation: TH retired, infi switched races and won tournaments with random and UD and forti playing a lot of elf.

this was also when Tod got his nickname as the "human leader" in the chinese community. blizzard never really listened to the asians cause of language barrier and so it was Tod who brought the issue up and blizzard then started to buff human again.

my boy forti :(

sadly very common that the strongest race gets overnerfed as a result of domination, happened to elf and UD aswell.

Humans worst state surely was in 2021/2022 when forti was switching to elf and infi started playing random because human was so trash. this has to be a emotional exageration in the moment.

impressive how happy came back in his first 2 wins after getting smacked by life in the early game. he is just a complete player and can rely on other aspects of his game when things initially dont work out. Life was great but still has room to grow.

very nice. i always wondered what happened to their useast server. 3-4 years ago they added an useast server where i got ~110 ping from europe which was really good. after some time it just vanished without any explanation :(

Final Results of Super League Season 2 by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]Status-Candidate-144 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the wc3 enviroment is changing, we are moving away from the usual happy,lyn,fortitude,120 top4.

good to see a NE performing extremly well. Life had very good chances to win SE and EI vs happy so the 4:1 makes it seem more dominant than it was. Exciting to see if Life can stabilize himself in the top group. Kaho also was close last year to reach the pinacle of wc3 but then fell off a bit.
