1.17 patch

I was wondering if anyone else had trouble getting the patch. I was trying to dowlnoad it from the beta location but it didnt work, just said that the bnet server was invalid or something like that. If anyone els had troubles or know where to dl it post here.

BTW Doesnt the firelord look SWEET!

I would think it's only available for certain locations. Otherwise, not too sure.
#3
Hm, for me it always says that my version is newer then the patch and so it doesn't need to be updated. Weird :?
#4
i just got it off battle.net
#5
load wc3
go to bnet
go to options
set up an "account" with the location -westfall-
log out of bnet
go back to bnet and when it says choose location
set it to westfall and press ok...
the patch should begin loading. 8)

(this is approximately right, I set it up a couple of
months ago. it works for me every time now.)

laterz...

Well the patch is not ready and is not in its final edition so it shouldn't be downloaded stand-alone.

Enough with the beta though, is there any estimate for when the real thing is gonna come out?

I hope it won't be too soon, coz in this state it is really imballanced.
The Firelord surely looks sweet, but extremely overpowered. 20!!!! starting agility (for a caster hero....) and 1.8 cooldown (like blademaster) with that special attack is a bit much. Anyway i can't understand why it is an agility hero.
And the Lava Spawn. This is the most stupid and imballanced idea i've ever heard. I know they increased to 12 shots to spawn into a new lava thing, but this does not prevent players from creating a huge army of these on a nearby creep camp, and rush the enemy with them, giving them an amaizingly unfair advantage (not to mention that every lava spawn will further split up in combat)
I think this thing should be disabled on creeps. But then the damage of these lava spawns is also very high. It used to be 14-37 i think (geez i can't belive Blizzard has done this...), they reduced it to 11-27 (on lvl1) with 1.5 cooldown (as archers). Just to remember they're free summoned units, usually massing up because of the splitting with as high attack potential as a rifleman... well no wonder in all the games i played so far everyone chose the FL as his/her first hero (with some exception who chose the Alchemist because of curiosity - well i don't have to say they s*cked badly)

If they don't do anything about this i'm going to stop playing WC3 on Battle.net. At least these new heroes provide some new resources for map makers (like me) and for that i'm thankful.

srry for crying a river about it but i've had just enough of the lots of imballanced games where everyone uses only 1 unit to overpower everything (i mean C&C)

FINALLY!!! Blizzard are no longer dorks and decided to post that damned patch once and for all. I couldn't wait to see the new heroes. Unfortunately now I am at school but when I arrive home I will download it at once!!!!!!!!!

#12
Just keep a backup of all your work for wc3 and reinstall it if you want to. Otherwise, contact blizzard technical support.
