1.09b Discussion

I understand what you were saying.

[Cooldood]

I end up playing 1v1's a lot and a general rule we play with is buying of creeps only in the middle lanes... Its almost impossible ending the game though, since the trebs decimate ANYTHING you can throw at the middle, and with a single hero you just dont have the pushing power to bring down the defence since even a standard wave (without hired mercenaries) can hold the line (unless your someone with Uber AoE like AK or Geno >_<) until the enemy hero's tiny revive time is through.

If the revive time was increased a bit for every player missing on your team from a full 6 (assuming both teams have equal numbers)...
Would that help the situation? Should I just play with all the lanes and end up playing 10 minute long games?

Advice please

Here's an idea, stop playing 1v1s. I'm sure Dusk had some reason to make a possible 6v6 game. 1v1s are so dull, because if someone is an idiot, the game is over, and being restricted to sending mid is silly, if you don't notice other lanes, there's no one to blame but you.

The map is also poorly balanced for 1v1.

[Rising_Dusk]

If you want to do 1v1 and restrict yourselves to no outside lanes, why don't you activate all middle? In 1.09c, I may end up removing trebs in all middle or something, I don't know, they do sort of stunt the game.

[Hell_Tempest]

Or maybe just one treb.

[Cooldood]

Ahhh, thanks, that'd solve everything

There isnt really much way to get more than 1v1 though, the people here are retarded and if the game isnt dota they leave... When I had wc3 on my comp at home I tried enlightening them, but now my time is really limited, so I'm not going to waste it on idiots >_>

Thread Revival!

I got an idea about the barracks.

There's a problem about hiring units when there's 4 units hired, right?

So, can't you just "disable" barracks if there are 4 units hired? Make it faded out or something....

Make it faded out or something....

That'd look pretty bad and be confusing. Good idea, though.

On another note: Dusk, are we getting another version of DoE soon, or is it on hold until OD, ToB, and 3.00 have seen some work?

I mean the "unit hire area" become faded, not the barrack. Otherwise that'd confuse a hell lot of people.

[SetaSoujirou]

If I understand correctly, he's saying to remove the unit hiring icons when you filled a barracks. (Until the counter once again reaches 0-3)

[andriejj]

I think he means making icons inactive/disabled, nubs ;P (like when your hero is silenced)

You should, but based on my time and other stuff to do, I have no idea what sort of time frame we're looking at.

I meant something like that.

Though I think this is a better idea.

[Rising_Dusk]

It's also not possible with WC3 to do that for units hired like that from a base. I've fought with that UI so much, you've no idea.
