Thursday the 30th of MayNew Patch posted by Endymon at 5:16pm pst Patch 1.33 has now been released. Many minor changes that have yet to improve my game any but im sure some people are thrilled about it. Coincidently this is probably one of the very last patches before release (I suspect the last one). Our beta centre now has the changes uploaded aswell. Simply connect to battle.net to dl and play. Source: Blizzard Tuesday the 27th of MayYet more changes posted by Endymon at 10:54pm pst Well more changes for the new patch. Too many to list here. Very minor adjustments for the most part. Next time ill wait till blizzard is done with their updates for the day before I post up the changes. But for now this is balancing out the lack of posts last week. On a side note I may beable to get a poll up soon. You'll know if one does show up :) Source: Blizzard Neutrals Page Revamped posted by Endymon at 4:00pm pst Our Neutrals page has been changed significantly. It now includes all the neutral units stats in nifty little popup windows. Took me damn too long to figure out how to do that so youd better enjoy them! Source: None Upcoming Changes posted by Endymon at 3:30pm pst 2 New changes will be in the next patch: *Undead: Haunted Gold Mine (more Lumber (170), more build time (100), less hit points (800)) *Granite Golems now attack air units Source: Blizzard Wednesday the 22nd of MayNew Single Screenies posted by Endymon at 4:19pm pst Several new screen shots have now appeared at gamespot.

Source: War3 Forums Tuesday the 21st of MayNew Strategy posted by Endymon at 12:32am pst Zileas has just put up a new undead strategy for 1.32. Its an interesting read but it is quite difficult to preform this strat well. Not to mention its probably overpowered. Check it out here. Source: Zileas E3 Almost here posted by Endymon at 12:30am pst The big computer game expo E3 is almost apon us. Were not likely to get too much new out of it concerning WarIII but we might get some nice info about WoW and maybe a few hints for WarIII single player. We can always hope for more though. Check out the blizzard press releases here and here. Source: Blizzard Sunday the 19th of MayNew Preview posted by Endymon at 11:57pm pst RPg Vault has just conducted an interview with Bill Roper mostly talking about warIII's rpg elements. It doesn't have much new info but is a nice 5 page read about warIII so it can't really be bad now can it. Read it here Source: Infoceptor Friday the 17th of May1.32 Patch Out! posted by Endymon at 10:12pm pst The 1.32 patch has now been released. Its not listed on the main sight or on marn's sight but it is indeed out. I only regret I couldnt have played a bit more lately so I can truely apreciate what is being changed for this patch from 1.31 but it dont matter much. We will have the patch changes up just as soon as it is downloaded so I can get at the txt file. Source: none Monday the 13th of May2 New Articals posted by Endymon at 7:03pm pst Gamespy has now put up their new preview of the singleplayer game to go with the screenshots released yesterday. It is an interesting read but contains a few semi spoilers as to how the Human campaign starts. But it is mostly just how the first few levels play out rather then story wise so dont worry too much. The other artical is for PC.IGN and it is an interview of Bill Roper again on the progress of WarIII. It contains a few new things but is only really useful if you havent been paying too much attention to previous interviews he has taken part in. Check out the Singleplayer Preview and Roper Interview. Source: Blizzard Sunday the 12th of May

Source: BluesNews Vote for Warcraft III posted by Chib at 5:51pm (gmt +9:30) VE and you'll find a vote with everyone's favourite game in it, asking which one you're most psyched about.

I will be adding them to our race overview page later today. See them here. Source: Blizzard Forum Posts posted by Endymon at 9:50pm pst Both Gfraiser and Rob Pardo have made good posts today.

Source: Marn Thunderhorn Monday the 1st of AprilHost For Infoceptor posted by Endymon at 3:17pm pstInfoceptor has now relocated to their new host. The websight address has also slightly changed.

Source: Infoceptor New Race! posted by Endymon at 3:08pm pst Today a new race for warcraft III has been anounced! The Pandaren empire! This may even have been the 6th race that was supposedly droped way back in 2000. It has now possibly made a comeback and we are all anxiously awaiting the new patch so we can see how this new race stands up to say the orcs. Check out all the coolness here. Source: Blizzard Saturday 30th of MarchCurrent Unit Stats posted by Endymon at 12:35am pstBlizzard now has all 4 races unit stats up in pdf format.

Source: Marn Thunderhorn Thursday 28th of MarchNew Strat up posted by Endymon at 5:34pm pstNew strategy is now up at Zileas Its called the militia rush. This is basicly an official report on this stragy from experts. Apparently this strat is very easy to get to work and almost always wins. Thus im sure this shall be fixed in the next patch but for now very cheesy! Check it out here. Source: Zileas Dark Summoning Gone! posted by Endymon at 4:31pm pst One of the worst spells for the undead or atleast the least used was Dark Summoning. This was atleast the weakest ultimate of any hero not even compairing to the Archmages Mass Teleport. Blizzard listened and has now removed this skill and replaced it with something "very cool". As soon as we know what it has been changed to we'll post it. For now you can just wonder. Source: Marn Thunderhorn Tuesday 26th of MarchMore Changes posted by Endymon at 7:26pm pst.A host of new changes have just been put up at Marns Warcraft III Guide. Changes include: low upkeep level changed to 40 food, heros now get magic resistance and Hero ultimate can only be gotten at level 6+. Incidentaly this probably means that a new patch will be out this week to implement all these changes. Source: Marn Thunderhorn Monday March 25th 2002Clarification posted by Endymon at 4:42pm pstOur one and only Rob Pardo has posted a very informative thred in the Warcraft III forums that clears up a number of issues beta testers have been having with certain game features: upkeep, creeps, heros, tactics, etc. He calmly explains that things will be worked out and that there are positive aspects to these features they are just not fine tuned yet. The thread can be seen here Source: Infoceptor Sunday March 24th 2002Section Update posted by Endymon at 11:03pm pst Our races overview section has now been updated to reflect current units and buildings for each race. Expect a tech tree soon. Maybe it will even have graphics to go with it. Possibly a graphic for each unit will be up soon. See it here. Source: none Friday March 22nd 2002Updating Begins posted by Endymon at 11:01pm pst When I first came to this sight I noticed that though well designed this sight baddly needed updating.

Source: blizzard's warIII forums Upgrading...worth it? posted by Endymon at 10:10pm pst Another nice thing at Zileas. They have an artical seriously focusing on the cost effectiveness of upgrading units vs building more. This is sorta a well duh to advanced RTSers but it is helpful to see what we all know layed out in an almost easy to follow format. See it here. Source: Zileas New Artical posted by Endymon at 9:44pm pst Theres a new artical up at Zileas "Huntresses in All Their Imbalanced Glory" actualy up yesterday but I only noticed now. Check it out here Source: bnet forums New patch soon? posted by Endymon at 9:32pm pst Yet more small changes accumulate for the warIII beta's next patch today. These can always be found here. We can only hope that the next patch addresses the main issues right now such as Blademasters Illusion abilty, sorc cheese, ghoul + 2 aura rush + canabalize, and of course huntresses. We'll keep you posted and let you know as soon as the patch is released. Source: me Wednesday, 20th of March 2002New News posted by Endymon at 10:55pm pst Sorry for lack of updates but Elfanger has been busy. I've been recruited as a staff member here. So yea! Anyways numerous things have happened since last news was posted. The patch count has increased from 1.10 to 1.13 still without a standalone version. This protection measure against the hackers has not been very effective since its rumored that the 1.13 patch was cracked in under an hour. Blizzard has come up with interesting ideas how to annoy the crackers. Check out the patch changes over here Source: me Saturday, 9th of March 2002New Patch posted by Chib at 6:21pm. The new 1.10 patch is out at last! There is no downloadable version though (presumable to stop the hackers from playing it), just login to b.net with war3 and you'll get it.

The Dread Lords new ultimate (replacing Dark Summoning) is to summon down an Infernal from the sky in a giant fireball. Needless to say this is one really cool ablity. Though the Infernal is not particularly strong he is a nice beefy summon and worthy of being an ultimate. What is a little odd though is that an item exists that has the same effect. I wouldnt have thought blizzard would allow a Hero Ultimate to be used by any hero but that item must be super rare then. Check it out 
The Dryad now has the slow poison ablity. This Adds a 50% movement slow, 25% slower attack rate and adds 8 poision damage a sec for 10 sec.
