can i get it too?

Wow thanks for remove. Care where you sent it private that it not popup on reddit. Then the easy way fixed again. Which will destroy Dreanor as well same as future games.

It is not like to not share but ruin the way for hots instead of other Games is a waste.

well i'd like to download WoD that way, but as i said before, blizz already is aware of it. Just hope they won't add encryption or something in next build.

[Ehnoah]

They know the old way doubt They fix the "new" . I think they not aware of that yet.

Is it hard to code so we can start @ LV20 in map TryMeMode instead so we can test quick spec builds and try them out?
It would be perfect for this map as we are able to refresh forts, talents etc.

The enemy should also start at 20 ofc, im talking about the small 1v1 map

[Ehnoah]

Not impossible I think, but hard =/

I had a quick go at it, and it seems that you can't pick talents for earlier levels. You have to pick the talent when you hit each level, otherwise it defaults to the first talent per tier. Basically the N talent window does nothing but display what you chose, not allow you to re-pick etc.

I tried to reach level 20 without picking any single talents and then pick all talents instead at max level and it worked... So, somehow you should be able to make it work.

I'd love to have that tool as well.. but I don't expect to get it.. After all, this is my first post (I've been lurking for awhile!)
I downloaded the client with my friend's VPN, though. Also tried figuring out how that tool did changed the b.net launcher but ended up failing

Anyway, is there anyway to see the data files in their 'natural structure'? The thousands of random files Jaeder found (only a few seeming to be relevant) doesn't help too much


The 'Elite 12' AI feels extremely repetitive (same strat every game all game)..

[Ehnoah]

I think Elite AI is Casual same as normal one, as Blizzards MOBA isn't planed for ESL what I think.

[AshleyM]

Blizzards MOBA isn't planed for ESL what I think.

Why do you think Blizzard is not planning HOTS for E-Sports?!

[Ehnoah]

Because you need even lower skill then LoL. No Item buying etc. doubt it will be "big" in ESL. Dunno. I feel HOTS is just a evening MOBA. To have fun with friends.

Before the first guy shared his method, only him knew about it.
Now, we all know about it and a lot more guys found new ways to bypass the first fix.

How can you find one guy knowing an exploit better than 50 guys working on different ways to use that exploit and all the others that will be discovered with this one ?

Anyway, thank for trying to share luke87pl

[Ehnoah]

I not asked him to remove, but I thank him to remove it. Thats all. If YOU want it more public just do it....

I just want, that we have more from that in the future instead of public now...do it after Draenor so we have all games out, but not before.

[TheOverWhelming]

The game mechanics are simply more reliant on the character choices and talents (and getting certain objectives depending on the map) in HOTS than other games like DotA and LoL
Depending on the Talents it will bring more strategy to the pre-game rather than during the game (which is also shorter)
The big thing imo is that it's more of a team game than LoL and DotA 2. Kills aren't actually worth that much besides experience (so far) for the whole team so going 90 miles to kill that Siege Tank (and risking yourself) has no real purpose where in DotA and LoL you get money and experience for yourself, thereby becoming stronger and more useful to the team
