DarkFalcon

Dante
Now grants 1% speed per 50 SP instead of per 40 SP Now grants 1% crit per 30 SP instead of 25 SP Elvish Enchanter now has on HUD how much it's healed to other players. I may try to add this to all healers but it'll probably happen slowly.
 
Yrel now has 30% leech on judged targets (up from 15%) - previously the skill description said 40% but was wrong.
 
Orb of Frost no longer triggers slow on magic damage. I believe this was a bug and not intentional.
 
Dragon Knight
Can no longer buy Orb of Frost. Turns out it stacks with other slowing effects, who knew. Will probably get restricted on some other races once people start spamming it on races w/ slow Slows attack speed and movement speed of victims when in ult by 25% (down from 35% slow)  

Boreas
now absorbs 35% of dmg via armor (up from 30%) Bash chance is now 25% (up from 21%) and bash duration is 1.4 sec (up from 1.0 sec) Ult cooldown is now 33 sec (down from 35 sec) Bulbasaur - now deals +8 dmg on hit (up from +6)
Corpse Bomber - now has a 0.1 second cooldown on detonate if there is no player to detonate (down from 1.0 second)
Kozu - now has +40 hp (up from 35 hp) like the text print previously stated
Jaraxxus - Fel Lightning now properly increases damage dealt when you have Nether Power (instead of decreasing damage dealt). This is a pretty substantial buff to the skill. As such, I dropped the scaling from 40% more damage per chain hit, to 30% more damage per chain hit. It also now has a HUD display showing nether stacks.
Undead Scourge - now leeches 30% of hp (up from 25%)
 
 
Bug fixes:
Dark Templar - no longer lose psionic shield to teammates
Dread Knight - Acute senses should no longer ignore players with custom knife models (pay2win?) - also it now has a HUD display showing you if Acute senses is ready
Fixed some text discrepancies on Yrel and Priest skills.
 

High Priestess now ignores bullets entirely in spirit form, to prevent sound spam (headshotting the priestess)
Reduced screen flash effect when in spirit form
 
A lot more commands are restricted to staff only, a lot more commands are restricted to war3 developers only, a lot more commands log to my admin logs, and a handful of commands were removed entirely. As always, please let me know if you see anyone abusing or using their admin in a way that is a detriment to the server.
 
Thanks

Just like in AMERICA we now remove 2 regulations for every 1 we add, we must also buff 2 races for every 1 we nerf
 
Igna now has a 35% chance to cast firestorm (down from 40%) Lady Hederine whip now slows by up to 16% (down from 26%), the color flash intensity has been slightly reduced, and the duration has been halved to help reduce "overlapping" flashes from building up IN EXCHANGE FOR THESE NERFS
Displacer Beast now has a 16 second cooldown on ability and ultimate (down from 20 seconds) Golden-tail has 22% evade (up from 20%) Krillin now runs at 84% speed (up from 80% speed) Wizard of the Everlasting now runs at 85% speed (up from 80% speed) Some measures were put in place to reduce or eliminate start-of-map abuse (involving suiciding at the start of the game to skip round 1). Let me know if you see any one doing this.

Hell froze over and after over 4 years Rust is not going to be 'early access' anymore. Big changes are the updates will be monthly (instead of weekly) and the cost is going up.
 
Check it out:  https://rust.facepunch.com/blog/leaving-early-access/

Any form of suicide (including changing teams) the first round is now logged. If you attempt to progress the round number in order to get additional cash, spawn with guns faster, etc. you will be banned for abusing the system.
 
Dark Templar now consistently blocks only 1 bullet with his shield (instead of sometimes blocking 2, dependent on how fast your gun fired) - however he has gained 15% passive speed.
 
Fixed some Clutch Chat bugs, also I log a lot more stuff that will benefit us in debugging crash problems.
 
Adjusted Paradox skill descriptions to be more correct.

Removed overlay counters from all races. They have been replaced with something called HUD text. This not only should reduce lag when playing these races, but also in some cases they may provide more info than before. If you have any idea of other ways to use the HUD text (it is fairly versatile) please let me know. (other information, using different color, etc)
 
If the text is overly large (typically only a problem on resolutions >1080p) I suggest scaling your HUD down with the hud_scaling command. I believe it should reduce the size of the text with your HUD.
 
After the next restart (should happen automatically at night) the overlay images will no longer be downloaded when players join the server, reducing the download time.

After THOROUGH questioning of the 20 random players on the server tonight, I have made the following buffs:
 
Ravinick can no longer buy boots or belt Battlefield Pro now has 30% bonus speed (up from 20%) Donald Trump now has a 26% (up from 24%) chance to evade magic and physical damage and also has a 220 unit knockback radius (up from 160) Hand of God now deals 35 damage on forward slash (up from 25) and it has a 3 second cooldown (down from 4 seconds). The slash damage radius was increased from 250 units to 350 units. If he is on a 5 hit combo or greater, he gains 1% evade Master of GO ultimate now has a 25% chance of affirmative When affirmative, Master of GO gains 10% speed Master of Three now deals 3 bonus damage per hit (previously it said this was the case, but it was not the case) Master of War now generates ammo slightly faster and takes 12% of damage via armor. His ultimate values were also corrected for some minor bugs. Nature Wisp now begins regenerating after 2.5 seconds (down from 3.5). Ultimate now has a 18 second cooldown (down from 20) Takeno now has 50% bonus speed (up from 40%). His ultimate temporarily makes him 99% invis (up from 95%) Transient Entity now has a 1.3 second bash duration (up from 0.9) and now stores 25% of damage as leeched health (up from 20%) The players have spoken!

Fixed invis shadow hunter wards (most of the time, it'll prob still break rarely like entangle etc have been...)
Added more thorough crash information so I can figure out problems (e.g. what causes random crashes to desktop for groups)
Reduced screen flash on Lady Hederine slightly
Reduced succubus ward radius from 250 to 200 after I realized how big it was during testing

Moving to GOKZ 1.0
 
Following the release of GOKZ, a new climb plugin developed by the KZ Global team, I have decided to move forward with converting the server.
GOKZ has many new additions and many missing features as its still in development.
Some additions include:
3 Modes: Vanilla, KZTimer, SimpleKZ Each mode has its own set of records New Global API System for better record tracking Some missing features include:
Jumpstat records Ranking system Ex. [PRO] [SKILLED] [NEWB] The GOKZ Development team has relayed that they intend to implement these features in the future.
 
All current PRO and TP records from the last plugin have all been converted to the new plugin by me. If you feel that a record is missing or not correctly translated please let me know as there are thousands of records.
 
Server should be up and running soon.
 
More information about GOKZ here.
 
Good luck and get to climbing!

Fixed bugs:
Mole now checks if you collide with any objects before choosing a spawn point. This should prevent getting stuck in players (rare) or spawning in the middle of the map (why is a spawn there ????) Corpse Bomber should have no more issues with certain primaries (namely M4A1S) not working with ult Cursed Pharaoh "Curse of the Pharaoh" skill no longer procs itself Igna Phoenix no longer slows herself (woops) Ruthless Mercenary grenades now don't hit Goblin Alchemist (2nd times a charm?) Xian ult no longer checks if ability is in cooldown  
Nerf:
Along w/ the phys dmg changes previously, Ruthless Mercenary nades dealt a lot more damage than intended. Lowered "max" dmg of subsequent nades from 150 to 115. Misc:
After I get a manual restart in, all CTs and Ts will spawn as the same models (instead of being randomly selected based on map). This prevents some models spawning with 100% invis heads if a player has invisibility. These are the 2 models we used to use ~2+ years ago, for you old-timers. Lol:
Added crypto addresses to my signature in case you are bored

Dark Templar is live at 6750
High Priestess is live at 9250
Lady Hederine is live at 14000
Illusionist is live at 15000
 
Since the last update post:
Dark Templar Shield CD reduced from 5s to 4s No longer deals bonus damage with fire, nades, etc. High Priestess Dies immediately if it tries to defuse No longer loses the bomb in spirit form Lady Hederine No longer gets glock from ability Whiplash knocks enemies screen up, deals 15 damage, blocks them from walking backwards briefly (to help close the gap for the knife race) - now makes a cool whip noise, also denies LJ, speed, fly, etc. Always knocks enemy's screen around (at random, not a very strong effect) on hit - cooldown of 0.8 seconds on effect Selune no longer "respawns" when using back door, it simply teleports back to spawn This means you can't change races when you use it This fixes an HP bug when you change to certain races This means you don't get your magazine reloaded Honestly Selune has always been pretty strong so I'm not worried about this Changes related to High Priestess getting "farmed" by other races IF NO DAMAGE IS DEALT ON HIT/ABILITY/ETC Abaddon no longer curses Accuri no longer slows or deals deadeye damage Air Elemental no longer reduces gravity Altana no longer recovers HP Anti Mage no longer reduces ammo Brewmaster no longer triggers keg smash Cannibal no longer leeches Corrupt Disciple no longer does it's damage leech effect Dante no longer gets skill points Distortion does not gain Tempest Sword charges Dragon Knight does not deal ult effects Exile items do not trigger Flame Predator does not disarm Forest Elf does not steal cash Hand of God no longer gains combos Human General no longer steals cash Methodical does not gain "on hit" effects Musician does not do it's "on hit" effects Naix does not leech Phyrexian Sieger does not knock back Pyromaniac does not knock back Ravinick does not do storm strike, maelstrom, windfury, or burning blade Rottweil does not leech Scattergunner does not knock back Recon Scout does not disarm Shadow Monkey does not slap or banish Succubus Hunter does not gain skulls Takeno does not disarm Wizard of New Tristram does not steal money Enjoy the inadvertent buff to EVADE

Thanks for the donation, my twin Dark.

Bug Fixes:
Death Bringer: fixed heal blocking potentially carrying over through death (I think... :)) Elemental: ult now checks for ult immunity Goliath: big swings hasn't been working for... a while apparently... it now works again (remember, left click only) Pudge: fixed a bug where Pudge's hook was attempting to target allies but was unable to do so. Basically, if an ally was close to an enemy, your hook couldn't hit the enemy because it was trying to hit the ally. Ruthless Mercenary: grenades can now be blocked by goblin alchemist Yrel: fixed description to show the proper speed buff

Bonus xp is now active! Don't forget to wear your [JoinSG] clan tags to get it!
 
I've also been busy this week and will be for a few more days. I intend to start moving races out of tester to live soon, so if you have any changes you suggest - testers, please let me know.

if you got any skin suggestions please post here but make sure you have a link to the site where you found it or send files to people that are responsible and have the authority for such actions as implementing the skin into the server. if you got no link to send just suggest what skin should be implemented here as well as store items that should be added or taken away.

War3 Supporters can now join the #war3_supporters channel on sG discord.
 
To join discord, click here: https://discord.gg/wPDJQWH
 
Once you have a discord account in the sG server, visit this link and follow the steps: 
 
 
You will then gain access to the #war3_supporters channel. If you have any issues with this process, please let me or another staff know.
 
I've already posted preliminary patch notes for over 75 races to this discord channel, which won't be posted or live probably till this weekend or later. This will become the norm, in addition to publicly discussing potential future changes in the channel - giving you advance access to potential changes and a more transparent view into the War3 staff's thought processes. Obviously, some changes may still be discussed in private for various reasons.

Added 2 new items:
 
Blingtron 6000 Gift Package - $3,500 - player is given a random shop item (excludes wish, xp items, mask, jump, mole, necklace). The worse a player is performing, the better odds they have to get good items. Shopkeeper's Cache - $5,000 - player is given a random shop item (excludes wish and xp items). The odds to get each item is not affected by player performance. Since any bugs or oversights could lend itself to being abuseable, I'd like to state once again to keep in mind if you feel there is a possibility either item is bugged or abuseable, please use caution and report it without abusing it. 
 
They were somewhat thoroughly tested. If you see any text lines that start with "ERROR!!!" please screenshot your playerinfo and the chat error that posted and send to me or post a war3 bug report on the forums.
 
I'd also say, similar to expertise, any attempt to publicly figure out the odds etc would heavily encourage me to alter them... if you feel compelled to do it, I recommend you keep it to yourself. The math is quite complex and easy to change drastically

There's a winner!!!  @DarkFalcon won the draw!! Contact me for payment details, I'm flexible. (steam cash, paypal, etc)
 
Thanks to everyone that voted!!!! This went really well and I will do more of these in the future, but due to the current rust event, I'll wait until September for the next one.  
 

Hello everyone. As some may remember I asked about making a War3 guide on Steam a few months (?) earlier. I worked on it but scrapped the project due to struggles. Well I am back again and this time instead of using Steam's Guide, which is difficult to maneuver especially with the amount of content that War3 has, I am going to use Google Sheets which I should've from the beginning tbh. This time I hope to actually finish this task considering how easier it is to use Sheets. I might periodically drop in an updated link but for now this will be open for a while while I decide on what to tackle next.
 
Comment your suggestions on how to improve the guide and what I should add, either on the Sheets or on here! 
 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g9pfLPgx3SLMIGAE5BIC6BYt1G22761mSCP7aehv83Q/edit?usp=sharing
 
My goal with this guide is to not only keep me focused but to also provide some help for new and experienced players alike. (derp)
*If someone can help with specific numbers please let me know! It will greatly expand the guide.

@Imperium I just vote at night time the moment it hits 12 AM of a new day.
