It'd be nice if you could give us some more details.

Like, all the new units and the spells. Because the site updates very slowly, and you have all the information right there.

Zero Signal · #27

Tomorrow, I'll take screenshots of the new units, like the Troll Batrider.

I'm reading Gamespot's latest details on the expansion, and I'm a little conflicted.

The Night Elves have a new hero who is made specifically to hit hard and help take out other heroes. This is quite unsettling, in my opinion. What's going to stop someone from sending the Warden (the hero in question) to a base, and do considerable damage. With the Demon Hunter (or even Blademaster, from the Orcs), they dealt fair melee damage, and could be used to put the hurt on the enemy's resource income. But at least they could be fended off with a hero and a couple units. Now it seems like that will be a problem.

Also, they have Mountain Giants, which are melee warriors, and can take a great deal of damage. Moreso, they have a Taunt ability to draw attacks to them.

The other additions for other races seem fine (though I wish the Humans got a better hero, as the original three always seemed weak in skills, in my opinion), but it seems like the Night Elves are once again overpowered.

I got chosen as a Beta tester too. You can all lick my balls!

Cybernetico · #31

I still have to get that beta leak. I WISH I FAVORITED THAT SITE.

I just got a new computer yesterday so i will probably get this game after i finish saving up for an xbox, i loved wc2 so from what ive heard this will be good. i suck at strategy though

starz · #33

what is your guys acct names for wc3 so i can play with u guys sometime?

n00bward · #34

You can find me on two accounts:GuyDeCarnac(Human) and IcariiEnchanter(NightElf) and when I'm not in a game I usually hang out in the Night Elf:Tree of Life chatroom. Though I probably won't want to AT or do custom games when I'm on my NE account as I'll be trying to restore the record on that one to anything decent (you can get the worst newbs in all of BattleNet as allies in RT.)

Mockery · #35

I am friggin LOVING the Night Elves so far. Between the Mountain Giants with their "taunt" abilities and how they can pick up a tree and pummel people with it, and the Warden hero who can cast that badass Avatar of Vengeance who has the best video game voice evar and can raise his slain enemies to fight for him, they are just kicking ass now.

James · #36

I'm just glad they didn't make the Warden a "hero-killer" as was stated by Gamespot in their previews.

I really liked the Human campaign. Lots of decent story progression there, and a handful of uber-fun missions (even that dreaded secret level was a blast). And the Blood Mage's Phoenix spell is really fucking sweet.

James · #37

I just beat the Undead Campaign. And I'll admit it. For the last three missions, I cheated. For Mission 6, I tried and failed twice. So I used the invulnerability cheat and cleaned house. Then I just kept using it because I wanted to see the rest of the story. I'll probably go back and beat it the real way, though.

The ending was kind of disappointing. More so than the original. That's all I'll say. For anyone else who's beaten it, is there any bonuses for beating it on Hard, like the original?

mew barios · #38

it took me like 4 hours to beat the last undead mission because i was dumb and didn't think of a smart intellegent way to handle it for a good long while. i dint need to cheat on any mission though. the undead were always my favorite. faaavorite :O

Mockery · #39

While I'm nowhere near good enough to beat anybody decent online, I still have the urge to start playing some online games with the new expansion set. So if anybody's up for it sometime this week, set a time and channel we can all meet in.

I wanna get my Night Elven arse kicked.

whoreable · #40

God damnit. Why don't people understand this?

The ending is SUPPOSED to be disappointing to build up for World of Warcraft. They can't dot huge climaxes all over the storyline.

Sorry, but I hate it when people complain that the ending was disappointing.

No hard feelings.

eggyolk · #44

Admit it though, it was a kinda sucky ending. I hated it how there were only TWO fucking cutscenes. And they both sucked! :/

Dr. V · #45

I'm having choppy game play and slow loads, and my resolution is all the way down. now should i get a new vid card or better processer? or free up hard drive space? any sugestions? or am i just an idiot. probly an idiot.

Emu · #46

Processor, if there aren't any actual graphics problems. I tried playing it on my old computer once and the graphics went to the shitter and all the units looked like snowmen.

Dr. V · #47

The graphics look great, it's just some times an entire model will disapere on screen while I have it selected or like a units face will leave and just his eyes will be floating. But most of the time I just have realyl choppy, slow play. Especially when I engage in battle, it takes forever to catch up, like I'm lagging online. And really slow load times. It's very annoying.
