well, yeah. DotS seriously needs a new engine... noone plays Warcraft much anymore (except for DotA fanatics)

custom maps still exist ( in fact i consider dots one of them)
in fact noone really play the original wc3 maps anymore ( as in melee one)

True, most of us old players went and played LoL instead.

That doesn't mean we don't play DotS anymore though.

[DrRawr]

I use to play LoL but then i started playing dota2

[Tatara.Kogasa]

Still playing with the taiwans, but not raising hand.

[Takoshi]

It's true, I play LoL often. However every time I can get my friends together online, we play DoTS still. Having played DoTA, HoN and LoL, I can still say that there is nothing quite as extravagant as Nightless Castle tanking with Remilia. Charisma overflows when tanking 3-4 girls at the same time.

Hey guys... My laptop got a rootkit infection.. It's back up now and finally I can post here... I see activty has died down even more.. My Brohous have also dropped in DotS play.. Although a few of us wanna have a match real soon... Anything happen while I was gone?

[houraiphoenix]

Well firstly, it's kind of due to Garena being a b*tch and not letting their users visit the servers of other nations.
That's one problem, and there are still many more...

[DrRawr]

Well motk is still pretty active in dots, were still some how getting new people :V

Not sure what you mean, but in any case I doubt you're the real happyhorseex and still have a 14-year old mentality for your age.

Thanks for the insult, Lucky. I'm still the HEX that I was from the last time.

I saw the patch logs and find it a joke that the new devs are changing, and such the orginiality is no longer there. 967g is probably the last version that was good enough.


PS: I doubt your EQ for questioning my mentality. Coming from someone who've sacrificed his goddamn time to translate your very first English map, so this is what I get in return.

Karma's a bitch.

[DrRawr]

Eh cant really say what there doing is a totally unoriginal, i mean what other aos allows you to put your self on a boat then crash it into the water killing yourself, or cirnos forever 9strength, renkos skill set seem pretty new to me, and lets not forget suwakos panties... I mean shes totally asking for it hopping arounds flashing everyone and in a school uniform no less.

On a side note about how people dont like the changes of skills, skills damage havent been touched much at all, or more like most skills have had there skills over all damaged lowered. only big game change has been the items as far i can see. (Not including character changes)

[Night4ce]

Wow.. So there has been some changes in Devs? What happened?

[TouhouMaster]

The new version's a pc killer orz
Despite being optimized already. :V

DotS on Dota 2/SC 2 engine doesn't sound so bad.

[ApharmdB]

0.977 is hardly optimized. Many new systems were put in and released without optimization and even the "stable" map isn't considered stable internally. The upcoming 0.980 version ought to be somewhat better and some graphical effects have been toned down. A couple of heros have been re-made after observing how some skills almost never get leveled or used. There're also 2 new heros and new commands, e.g. -ob now allows the coach/supervisor slots to be referees.

I'm not involved in the balance/design side of things in the map's development (only coding), but I've read many comments from people blindly criticizing 0.977 without giving it a chance. All I can say is, nobody's stopping anyone from playing an older version. There are even groups in the HF rooms playing 0.949 and 0.900. Indeed, if you're just looking to derp around in a Touhou DotA-like map, then 0.967g is fine. But understand that the changes implemented in 0.977 weren't done without consideration and (aside from the items) were primarily meant to address the fact that many heros in 0.967g could win the game alone vs entire teams and that's why in HF tournaments, the latest map is always used, optimized or not. As DrRawr mentioned, if one actually plays 0.977 for a while, you'd realize that despite the admittedly irritating scaling formulae for many skills' damages, there's actually very little practical change. About the items, there're plenty of new ones and some old ones were removed, but you know, sticking to familiar 0.967g item builds actually still works.

Feedback about the map is of course welcome, but please also understand that fundamentally, 0.977 is more of a team game than 0.967 ever was and suggestions like "bring back Flandre's old ult" simply cannot be implemented (she does get a slight buff on it in the next version though).

[Takoshi]

The only thing I'm waiting for is AI. After that, I won't have any complaints about switching to the new version. Keep up the good work!

[Helepolis]

977h2/3 is fine, just needs more balancing on the heroes. The first 3 versions of 977 were a trainwreck and rage.

A few heroes really got the sack though in 977. Like Yuuka, Tenshi. Let us see if 0.980 changes that (probably not).
