Тестирование обновления 1.32.6 для Warcraft III: Reforged на PTR подошло к концу, и, вероятно, на следующей неделе оно будет установлено на живые сервера. Во время тестирования патча на основе отзывов игроков разработчики подготовили несколько дополнительных изменений, которые также будут в него включены.
Thank You Very Much For Testing the PTR With USWe are poised to strike!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the PTR! In the coming week, we will close the PTR and patch the live game. Based on feedback given during the PTR (as well as some of our own observations), we’re making the following additional changes:
Crypt Lord- Unit cast point increased from 0.4 to 0.5.
- Carrion Beetles ability cooldown increased from 6 seconds to 9 seconds.
- Additional developers’ notes: There is some concern that Crypt Lords may be able to reach maximum beetle count a little too quickly, especially during combat. We’re increasing the cooldown of the ability to slow this down a bit. The new Impale is also now so responsive that it can be difficult to discern when the ability actually casts. Increasing the casting point makes the ability fire roughly when the Crypt Lord’s talons hit the ground. Additionally, for high-micro players who enjoy mindtricks, this allows more time to try and ‘false’ cast the ability though a Stop command mid animation.
Pendant of Energy- Mana provided decreased from 150 to 100.
- Additional developers’ notes: Alongside the Greater Mana Potion, the Pendant of Energy often gets feedback that it provides too much mana for where the item shows up on the item drop table. With feedback regarding the Greater Mana Potion change being favorable, we feel that we can also address this item by reducing the mana provided.
Breath of Frost- Size and shape of the ability altered to match Breath of Fire.
- Additional developers’ notes: This ability is solely used by the Blue Dragonspawn Overseer. In the past, this ability’s visual looked like a cone, just like Breath of Fire, but was actually using the size and shape of Shockwave. This has now been adjusted to use the same size and shape as Breath of Fire.
Breath of Fire (Brewmaster)- Starting projectile size increased from 120 to 125 at level 2, matches level 1 and 3 starting size.
- Additional developers’ notes: This legacy bug has not caused any observable issues, however we wanted to clean up the discrepancy between levels.
We’re editing
the PTR Patch Notes to reflect the above adjustments, and again, THANK YOU!
[Источник] Также в обновлении 1.32.6 будет введено приятное изменение: точно так же как в WoW, теперь файлы живой и тестовой PTR версий будут общими, поэтому пользователям не придется содержать два практически одинаковых клиента игры.
Adding Shared Container Tech with Version 1.32.6Starting with version 1.32.6, we’re transitioning Warcraft III to use the shared container technology that World of Warcraft and Overwatch already use. Having a shared container for Warcraft III means that we can have the different types of builds (currently
retail and
public test) use the same data directory.
In order to support this new technology, we’ll change the directory layout of the game. The root Warcraft III install directory will contain a
Data folder, and one or more folders that represent the build types:
_retail_ for the retail version and
_ptr_ for the public test version. The
Data folder will store data for all build types (reusing data when possible). The build type folders (
_retail_ ,
_ptr_ ) will act as the game root. For example, any file or folder that you previously placed in
Warcraft III should now be placed in
Warcraft III/_retail_ instead. If you have any files that you previously added to your install directory (not recommended), you will need to move those files to
_retail_ or
_ptr_ . With this new layout, you can have multiple build types installed side by side without disruption.
When installing a build, the user will still have the option to have separate installs of Retail and PTR if so desired. However, we recommend using the shared installed because it will overall use less disk space and will be quicker to install the Retail or PTR versions of the game.
There will be a phased transition to change to the new directory layout. You won’t be able to fully take advantage of this technology until both the 1.32.6 version of retail and the PTR have been released. The 1.32.6 PTR is aware of the new directory layout, but the current Retail version of the game is 1.32.5 and that version is not yet aware of the new directory layout.
Once the 1.32.6 Retail version is released, we highly recommend that you uninstall the 1.32.6 PTR version. Any future PTR or Retail releases after 1.32.6 will now be able to share the data directory if desired.
