I say we all write a huge petition thing from this site nominating one custom hero from each race for blizzard to put in the next patch, it might be hard to get them to listen but with enough people theyde have to listen!
i say that we get more elementals, as neutral units. but for the undead, i say we put in the nerubian stinger, but giving it a new skin that gives it and undead look, it can be called....um crypt knight? or mabey just crypt stinger.for ork, we could have those half orc units we see on this site, and that half orc woman thing, and my half troll. and for night elf, i say we put in something like the druid of the fin, it could possibly turn into some sort of naga form? mabey? i dont know, im just thinking of random things. but i doubt blizzard is making a patch where theyre gonna add units for the normal races rather than just neutral units.
So 1.18 will be balancing, and 1.19 (Christmas Patch) will have stuff
I doubt they're going to include ANYTHING from this site though
Correction: I'm almost positive
And if they include the Stinger (Which they won't) I hope its not a undead unit. Two Undead Nerubian units is quite enough. The entire Nerubian race are not slaves to the Undead
Oh, and people NEVER have to listen to petitions. Petitions are a WASTE. OF. TIME.
And they won't make the other elemental lords as neutral heros! How many times do I need to explain how only Rangaros the Firelord is free, with the other Elemental Lords sealed up?
And they're not going to add new units to the races. They can't even balance the current units: What chance do they have of being able to balance any more?
Blizzard always inlcude new stuff that already exists in one form already. They find something they like in a mod, then they make their own version of it.
i don't think blizzard will add more heros. race-specific heros are difficult to balance, and for neutrals, only one slot in the tavern is remaining as the other three ones are used for resurrection
I totally agree with Mecheon. 1.18 need to be a ballance patch. Tho i h8 this method to give a patch every two month (almost), cause i cant save replays. I think blizzard even could take out the option to make replays.... lol joking..
But for the future: i don't think they're going to add any new race specific heroes. So far they only added neutral ones. And if they add more neutral heroes they're going to need a new tavern-like building coz there won't be enough space...
Personally i think Wc3 has fallen into an overpatched state, i even have the thought that wc3:RoC is better in it's raw form than TFT...
back to the topic: if i were blizzard i would do the following changes: -faerie fire mana cost: 35 -wind walk backstab dmg: 60 90 120 -griphon rider food cost: 5 -wind rider more hp -firelord -> either STR or INT hero. -firelord cooldown: 2.25sec (from 1.8sec) -firelord less base AGI -lava spawn cannot split up on creeps, need to attack 15 times to split -goblin alchemist helaing spray: +1 wave each level -goblin alchemist +1 base armor -goblin alchemist acid bomb armor penalty: 4, 5, 6 -death knight less speed -dryad less hp -crypt fiend less hp -crypt fiend 2.25 sec cooldown, but a bit less cost -pit lord less STR
and maybe more.. but these are the ones that i remember now...
Blizzard, as I understand, will take balancing suggestions, but usually only from the top # ranking players. (the guys who know the game inside out becasue they played it so darn much, basically). Blizzard will never...NEVER accept fan made stuff unless its taken in a official Blizzard-sponsored contest. If you ever read their site Faq, they sound like elitist pigs in the way that they believe that fan-made resources would corrupt the series (mainly found this when I was seeing if I could apply to be a novel writer for them...I don't know how theyt select their authors, but its sure as heck not through resume....) -VGsartomi
The reason they have that is because the WC3 novels are actualy considered WC3 history, and they don't want someone to put something crazy like Uther and Illidan battling Archimode or something like that. Not sure if thats the same with the Starcraft ones though....
Yes, their novels are loyal top the series and are officially part of the stroryline, but they won't even let people APPLY to be a writer of film maker for them because of that...which makes me wonder where they get their writers... -VGsatomi
