Thank you Admins for organizing such a cool event! and Thanks for 4-way TBR2 Memory Mode !!!
"The use of the commands “!ping” and “!from” is strictly prohibited and may be penalized. Players can only check ping themselves and whisper it to the host."
Even tho I like that map, I just wanted to remind the admins, that Noexxx also wanted to choose a Map (Hurricane), but couln't, since it wasn't played in during the season.
I have problems to use the launcher. I can't download the Patch, since something blocks the connection. I already made all ports open and even stopped the firewall.
Okay, lets try to explain my: "Not to forget that Yosh is a completely piece of shit. Refusing any help and let w3arena die."
I thank Pad (Who was the owner and creater of w3arena) that he put so much effort into the creation of w3arena. I totally agree with all of you that Bnet was dead and poisined by hackers including bad ping and no support from blizzard. This was probably around 2013-14. So yes, w3arena was very important or mb even the reason why w3 didn't die in Europe and US.
The Platform was made for the community and in the beginning they did frequently a ladder reset and changed the map pool, which increased the motivation and competition. More and more players switched from bnet to w3arena and also a lot of people (like me) turned from inactive to active. Everything seemed to be fine, a nice platform, ladder reset, new maps, good ping, bots, funmaps and an active community.
I really appraciacted the work from the admins to ban hackers, which includes for me mh and drop hack or leaving after 2-3 mins in the game. After a while we saw a lot of drama in the forum made by special characters, e.g. Ena & Kodos etc., but those guys weren't mhing, they were trolling, insulting mb they were toxic, but it wasn't nothing new to war3 players, we are all used to that kind of behavior and somehow it also belongs to w3. The Head Admin"Yosh" decided to ban players on his own made rules and sometimes it wasn't even a logical or a pragmatic decision.
After while Pad decided to stop his engagement, because of RL/Job etc. which is totally fine. Yosh became the new "owner". I'm pretty sure he spent a lot of time into this project, but from my point of view, I didn't see any improvements since he got the ownership. They made lot of anncounments and until now they didn't deliever anything. Yes, maybe it's not easy to do a ladder reset as clueless forum admin, but we have here a community with enough geeks, who can help out. We saw also a lot of players who offered their help in the forum. If Yosh is bored and don't want to put his energy into w3arena, fine, but then he should give the ownership to someone else, who is more motivated than him.
Anyways, he decided to let w3arena slowly die by stopping the support (w3arena has performance problems) and creating a weird ban system. The result of that ban system are longer waiting times for a game.
I see no need to play on w3arena if they can't manage to include the upcoming patch and stop that weird ban system.
Also a good question: If they aren't able to do a ladder reset, will they be able to include the new patch?
Bnet ping is fine and the amount of hackers in ffa bot games are the same, since the bot is cross realm. We also play most of the time Custom/Inhouse games.
The question is, can w3arena use this patch? probably cant so it wont affect us.
W3Arena is a sinking ship. FFA will surely start to use the new patch and BNET asap.
Tyrant is right. And aarni, why do you dislike arena that much? you wanna go back to bnet and play with hackers?
Why do I dislike Arena?
* W3A admins are completely brainless (what would be better example for this than their autoban system?) * Low player base mainly because admins had no clue what they were doing (W3A had much potential) * Autoban system (did i already mention this?) * Admins have been talking 2 years about the ladder reset but it never happened. Ladder reset is one of the most basic things but they don't even have a coder who could make that happen. * Ancient 1.26 patch. New 1.29 patch is the final nail in the coffin, nobody wants to play 1.26 after this. * Very unstable server, it has been down almost everyday lately.
etc. etc.
There aren't even much hackers on bnet. I also trust that Blizzard will make updates for bnet.
Not to forget that Yosh is a completely piece of shit. Refusing any help and let w3arena die.
I think cumulo just likes discussions, he is always on the opposite. He still defends cozy fucking sands, even though he made a better map.
3. Since the last standings update, this player has jumped up the leaderboard an impressive 91 positions. Who is it?

Ah well, that's me. and mb mog?
10. Who are the highest scoring players by these major countries. I'll start you off with some easy ones: BUL: Maga USA: Wreck CAN: Renaud SWE: Junkerzam FIN: J33 GER: Trunks RUS: qwest FRA: Ponty
11. In Season 26, M30 (Replay) Renaud abused a bug which gave him a high score for unmounting/mounting archers. Since mounting creates 1 unit and unmounting creates 2, how many times did Renaud mount his archers?
