Now that Warcraft 3 Reforged has been released a few hours ago, I have been watching Grubby play the Campaign on Twitch.
But it got me thinking about -Mafia-.
To my knowledge, WC3 has the same Mafia as SC2 has, is that correct?
Maybe @Frinckles or @Elixir knows?
Does anyone know anything more? Is it being played? Is it being moderated? How similar is it? And most importantly - does it have a prospect of forming a new Forum Mafia community?
Wc3 reforged has exactly the same arcade as normal wc3, except with a worse ui and terrible performance. If you can't find mafia lobbies on normal wc3 you won't find any on reforged too. So yea, it's dead over there
Idk anything about a wc3 mafia.
The editor is a slightly tuned up WC3:TFT editor.
I'm not developing on it.
I helped develop the original Parasite with Darkshogun so I know that editor well. It's not as good as the Galaxy editor.
@powerofdeath
Was hoping you could give some answers?
I know you played Mafia on WC3.
Found your thread from last year: https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showth...th-v1-29-patch
Edit: ok nvm you already answered.
Ok so Mafia there is bad/dead and there is no prospect of WC3Mafia ever coming in existence. :SQuote:

Sc2 is free. They can join whenever they'd like.Quote:

Dark Revenant's original Mafia Map is still floating around WC3.
We've got no plans on updating that map to work on reforged. It is less feature complete than sc2 and as stated by Frinckles before you cant just open up a galaxy map in that editor and hope to have a good time. Pretty sure DR said he doesnt want it there anyway.
Well guys, grab a seat and let me tell you about WC3 mafia.
It's awful. Terrible UI, day 1 lynches, not a lot of customization. Oh also if I'm not mistaken days can take forever if the town doesn't lynch someone or skip the day. Oh and no trials/defense.
Hey, D1 lynches and no trials is pretty good and standard. Those features are in the game because people usually can't restrict themselves on lynches (and maybe because trial is fun sometimes).Quote:

The new new policy is definitely designed because blizzard are still super angry that dota and the multi billion dollar moba market started in their game and they got fuck all from it - even losing the naming lawsuit against valve. As far as we know this only applies to reforged and can't be really retroactively applied to sc - but it's something to keep an eye on
Can you elaborate on the highlighted part?Quote:

I don't quite get it. There are many different versions of every single thing in the world. Like, there are several mafia games on steam for example - what would be the difference in this mafia game?
Sorry for the dumb question. I imagine some people just facepalmed hard.
The map uses certain songs from certain places.Quote:

This is so sad to hear tbh...
Like, I played WC3 custom maps for years before SC2 came out.
I mean, I understand Blizzard I guess. They're a company after all.
But it still feels disrespectful to all those awesome map makers who gave me and so many others so much joy.
Some people grew up with comic books.
Some people grew up with D&D and the like.
To each their own.
To me, custom maps were larger part of my childhood than I care to admit.
All the big SC2 mod makers that I know of have decided to not work on WC3 because of their crappy new policy. A big part of their game goes away there. They won't get another "MOBA incident" for sure, but they won't get creators either.
I watched a copyrights attorney talk about WC:R https://youtu.be/3zQXg7BLQXo
In intro he says metacritics rate the game 0.9/10
I'm like "that's not right, it's 1.6/10"
So I go to metacritics and it's 0.7/10 https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/w...t-iii-reforged
People get more and more dissatisfied with WC:R as time goes by :>
Is it me or is this website lagging more and more often lately? -_-

I don't have control over other people taking my IP without permission.
OMG PoD YOU'RE ALIVE :3Quote:
