Blizzard launches map hosting & mod support site

Blizzard has launched their new map and mod support site. This site will be featuring the creme of the crop maps produced by the mapping community elite recomended by the map community leaders from each of the major WC3 fan sites!

Here is their initial message:

"Blizzard is proud to unveil the Mod Support website. Ever since Warcraft II first launched, the community has been creating its own incredible maps for the Warcraft series. With Warcraft III, we have seen even more creative, original, and technically impressive uses of the World Editor. The Mod Support site is being created to give something back to the community. We will offer contests, resources, designer journals, and of course, proper recognition to those outstanding authors for creating some of the greatest mods for Warcraft III. "

I cant believe Dota is the first on their hall of fame. Tides of Blood is made better and is way more balanced and fun to play
#4
really, i dunno if these are good news or not

any opinions?

we were linked to that page, but they took us off. i cant believe it! we're the biggest and best wc3 modding community on the internet. drives me nuts. i don't know why this is news when it has nothing to do with us.

besides, dota sucks.

The forum looks like its going to be a lot more helpful for trigger problems, but as far as resources go, it can't compare with wc3sear.ch so far. I know a lota people on this site hate Dota but it has been a very successful game in Warcraft with over thousands of players and i think its earned its frist spot in Bnet Hall of Fame. No game can be perfectly balanced, and some people just havent played it enough to know how it even works, plus jealousy woes and noobies get owned. I also think Dota deserves more respect because Dota is a piece of representation of the Warcraft community and i mean we are all hear to help build on the community not break it down? Anyway, ill shut up, flame if you wish, but i hate it when people just plainly say Dota sux, yet it has more players then some games sold in boxes in stores.

Games can be perfectly balanced.

Its just that no one has ever bothered to even try on DoTA and rather just let be unbalanced

MecheonGames can be perfectly balanced.

Well im not going to argue with you cuz its not worth it but they do update the game every week it seems like to balance, and it is more balanced than you think it is. It was not balanced for 1 hero vs 1 hero but more for hero combination vs hero combination, if you watch replays of tournament dota games you will better understand. Thats my 2 cents.

Yes. That sucks. :? Maybe some "reminder" to Blizzard? :)
#12
This site aren't linked?! Dota takes much resources from here, and I see Dota on first page but no one even small link to this site!

Blizz just contacted me a few hours ago. They had a reason for removing the link. I am working to fix the problem now...

What are some really cool mod support sites out there? So far I have:

- Wc3 Sear.ch
- TheHelper.net
- Battleforums
- Hive Workshop

Are there any others I am missing?


anyways... allstars sucks but maybe they have added it since it is the most played map. . .
