[Face 1910]

See the poll above. Feel free to make any suggestions in the posts. Try to be serious about your feedback.

Khadgar needs a nerf, and I say that even loving to play the shit stain of a race. Personally I'd like to see Ice Blocks cooldown increased, the silence either be removed or duration reduced on the ultimate and possibly the slow tweaked a bit. Also Fuck crackhouse, it's fun for about 3 rounds until people bring out all the cancer races and to counter it more cancer races are played; it becomes a cesspit of insults even worse than normal war3. Also we need both italy's so I can constantly nominate them back to back 

[Imperium 295]

Would it be bad to disable knife races on pistol rounds. Pretty lame when you try to kill a nature wisp/zombie/ duelist etc , with glocks. I think it's too bad but it's pretty silly

[Moose 4890]

Personal opinion on the slots piece would be to keep it as is. If we see population increase to steadily be hitting 20/20 and it being an issue, then we can reevaluate. I don't see any reason to drop tick in its current state and players get less performance.

[Destin 1958]

Oh baby I see so much good shit in this poll, fuck crackhouse, fuck khadgar 

[water.exe 725]

As a person who played T Hardy for the event and have heard of its nerfs I can say during the event it was a balanced race and people didn't know how to react to it just like Second Wave but I was more than happy to tell people the  hard counters to T Hardy as a I learned them for that time period.

[LunaBadger 5]

Subtract one vote to T-Hardy's Balanced option.

I have rarely played against it, but when I do, I don't mind it compared to the event version.

 

I like both the Italy maps, but if we remove one, make it the non-standard one.

The custom one, while fun in design, is brutal for CT's since both hosties are always in the house.

 

Remove crackhouse.

 

I'd rather shit gets fixed before we start trying to 'change the meta'. I mean, why go Valve on the thing, right?

 

The things I want removed from Khadgar, also are the things that really make Khadgar worth playing, unless you're a decent player of the game.

I agree with Smash that the CD for Ice Block should be increased. I voted for the slow because that thing is incredibly strong.

 

It's One-Twenty-Fake Tick though. Anyhow, I voted for it. I don't mind the 'low' player count.

 

I'm supporter already; I voted no change. Mainly 'cause I don't think people give credence to my thoughts.

Idrc either way. Why not go for it? It's discord. Do you need to remove channels or something?

 

Anyway, are you coming back, Face?

Don't get anyone's hopes up.

Grain of salt, dertin.

They tell me I'm a top hand at work, I still see myself on the ground lol

[B-cock #1 641]

Someone mentioned that the server is actually at 75 tick, and it sure feels like it w/ the amount of blood splatters/no registry at times. I don't know the merit of it but I think it was something with the choke at 75 or something.

 

Keep crack house, if people don't like it then they shouldn't vote for it. Easy. If possible I guess prevent it from being #1 on the list to avoid spam? Doubt its possible but that's a fair compromise.

Ye, I heard it mentioned a few times, just removed my launch options and saw the cmd: 75.0/s and up: 64.0/s. So it just seems like they didn't configure for 128 tick at all. Kinda dumb you have to manually configure it like that but that's just the way it is, so I guess we just disregard it. For anyone wondering, my launch settings.

 

-novid -freq 144 -refresh 144 -tickrate 128 -maxplayers_override 50 -nojoy -nod3d9ex1 +exec autoexec.cfg

[Tristan. 1053]

Where is the option to delete all knife races.

 

Also molecule should be buffed back to its original SOURCE days.

 

Also 64 tick with SMAC so we can get 90% of the server banned for cheating ty.

I could technically force the min rate and max rate to both be 128, and this would fix it for them. However, I'm not a fan of forcing min rates on people since there are people who don't have great connections.

Who cares about the poll? The best part about this post is that it says Engineer under Face.

[Swed 2651]

My two strongest opinions are remove crackhouse, keep 128/20

[Face 1910]

I think it's pretty easy to say without waiting any longer that the following will happen:

 

• Crackhouse will be removed. Maybe it'll come back occasionally or maybe I'll find a way to cycle it in random days or something.
• We will see a lot of minor (some bigger) race buffs. Some of them will be for things that are viewed as weak or underplayed, while some will be mid-tier races. The overall goal here is not to get closer to "perfect balance" but to encourage different/non-stale gameplay. I'm sure a few of the changes will probably get reverted at some point. I also will be a little generous with a few knife races that have seemed underplayed or weak for a while now.
• I intend to slightly reduce the duration of the Frost Nova ult (4s to 3s) and reduce the magic damage reduction on mage armor (90% to 80%). The idea here is that Frost is the most popular because of the ult, and hands down the most popular non-frost skill to combo with your 3 frost is mage armor. Hopefully these two changes will tone it down enough. I almost left Frost Nova at 4s and removed the silence, but I think it becomes too generic and uninteresting at that point. Hopefully losing 1s on it is enough to tone down it's popularity a little bit.
• Tick rate / player count won't be changing
• T Hardy won't be changing
• Italy is tough. I personally dislike having 2 italys, but I don't want to make the decision to remove one entirely out of bias. I'm going to let this poll question ride out longer, and it may inevitably result in cycling the 2 maps between being individually available or both available.
• I'd like to add a war3_supporter discord channel, it shouldn't be impossible to do since we already have the bot that assigns roles based on rank. I'll have to get the help of others, but it's something I think would be a neat benefit for supporters.

Feel free to post any other ideas or comment on the above points.

 

Also, without rereading posts someone commented on bugs needing to be fixed instead of making other changes. Please make sure you are posting any/all bugs to the war3 bug tracker on the forum. Some bugs are much harder to fix than minor changes like the above, so keep that in mind. I do intend to take a swing at fixing bugs in the next couple weeks - so get them posted before I get to that point.

Why do you hate me so Face

[Agent 22]

I definitely agree that the Ult duration could use a 1 second lowering, and the mage armor a slight decrease in effectiveness. Let's see how that plays out.

honestly, I want it to be balanced and not one race overall (kadgar) but I don't want it to be perfect like all races are GREAT. It makes it more fun to play underplayed races, or not as good races and kill cocky motherfuckers like Marzu with a bad race.... ALL IM SAYING.

 

ps. would have commented earlier but have been LOA for the past week

Underplayed stuff like Curse of the Pharaoh certainly needs a buff. It is one of those, level-up and leave races. Though a lot of knife races seem like they need (besides that one) a slight-debuff particularly human lawnmower and flame predator (I say as those are my most used knife races).

[Xenophobic 16]

I Agree i am pretty much the only one that plays Methodical and it got nerfed into oblivion.

[Face 1910]

I have since changed my opinion of italy - since nearly 50% say keep both I think that is a large enough percentage to not warrant a change.

 

I've made changes to over 75 races that aren't live yet and even more will be changed - if you'd like insight into what will be changed please see this post:
