Blizzard ha pubblicato la patch 1.30.2 per la versione classica di Warcraft III, la prima dopo l’annuncio di Reforged. Questo aggiornamento permette di scaricare il gioco classico nel caso si sia acquistato Reforged e introduce una serie di miglioramenti che saranno molto apprezzati, fra cui:
- Supporto esteso per la lobby di partita, con filtri, download delle mappe in cloud e velocità di scaricamento;
- Miglioramento del supporto per le mappe personalizzate e la loro visualizzazione in lobby;
- Il traffico dati è ora più sicuro e non richiede più l’apertura di porte specifiche per giocare;
- L’hosting delle partite ora avviene in cloud e la disconnessione dell’host non causa più la fine della partita;
- L’host ora ha nuovi comandi a disposizione, come kick e ban dalla lobby e gestione migliorata dei giocatori;
- Nuovi bilanciamenti per Eroi e Razze;
- Risolti diversi bug dei precendenti aggiornamenti.
Come ricorderete, ogni modifica e miglioramento del client classico di gioco è un passo avanti per Reforged, in quanto le due versioni saranno completamente compatibili nel comparto multiplayer.
