dumbday

booked out today as i've medical appt tomorrow morning (again.. hehehe)
meet up with ys in lot 1 and had dinner then arcade (i'm no arcade dude though) before we watch a movie.

we watched doomsday, without knowing wth is it.
so we went in, and found our seat. i've realise something is wrong, since the seats i bought is right in the middle of the hall, but it is actually at the side. we sat and waited, and movie previews start popping up. one promising preview came up, about virus and this lady gonna save the day. the action and stuff seems cool, and i was eager to know what's the name of the movie. and then~~ "DOOMSDAY!" LOL!?
owned... i never knew they actually show the movie we gonna watch. anyway... after 20 min, the name of jacky chan and jet li pop up. that tells you why! it's the forbidden kingdom.

so we changed cinema in the end, and doomsday is one fuck up show. don't watch~

Goodbye Sweet

Sweet has just retired his warcraft III career to serve his nation.
one of the best undead player, famous for his ability to kill heros (triple nuke).
he had served many world class team in the world, e.g. saint, SK, world elite, BeT.
this is a fate that all korean players face, even the legendary SC player boxer also die to ns.



another legend had left, insomnia and zacard just retired not too long ago.
this tells you that, 错的不是Blizzard,而是National Service.

a date with the mountain king

nowadays, we.sky is in love with his mountain king.
he used to use it as a second hero, as most human players do. although he has preference of 2nd hero to fight against specific race in specific map, and 1 thing about human is that, archmage is still the key link of the human army.

back to topic... here is the man.

1. storm bolt (active) A magical hammer that is thrown at an enemy unit, causing damage and stunning the target.
2. thunder clap (active) Slams the ground, damaging nearby enemy units. Units are also slowed.
3. bash (passive)Gives a chance that the Mountain King's attack will do 25 bonus damage and stun his opponent for 2 seconds (1 second for Heroes).
4. avatar (ultimate)Activate Avatar to temporarily give the Mountain King 5 bonus armor, 500 bonus hit points, 20 bonus damage and spell immunity.

now sky uses it often as his first hero, rather than the old school archmage.

vs human:
sky uses it in EI and LT (so far i've seen, because sky is famous for his human mirror, so usually human players will pick another race against him) in a normal am vs am match up, water elemental is the key dps, unless u use blizzard to harass peasant. in tier 2, sky has came up with priest dispel opponent's water elemental in mirror which later become the main mirror strat. you gain 'free exp' and also remove opponent's main dps quickly. when 1 has water ele, the other doesn't, the advantage is obvious.
therefore am's water is almost useless in tier 2, so retrain to blizzard is sometimes being used to combo with panda's flame. now sky uses mk as his 1st hero, the main strat is to quick lv3, then find opponent to battle. as am is paper, so mk is extra effective. in tier 2, mk may reach 5. 1 bolt 1 kill. disadvantage is that there's no water to tank when u farm, and also no aura. mk is melee, sorc's slow can make it not so effective.

vs orc:
sky has abandoned his trademark '一波流', as proven not as powerful as before when orc players know how to counter it. he now uses mk as 1st hero in map that can expand easier, e.g. TS and EI. (still '一波流' in other maps though, of course don't include LT)
same thing, mk quick lv3. then he tier 1 expand! typical human strat, just that it's mk not am. but why can't use am to expand? it's a common knowledge that expand vs orc is suicide. because of blademaster can 'infinite' kill workers, while his grunts won't die easily as human has no slow or disable. it's common that raiders start joining the battle while human's expansion not even up. or human gives up to expand and tech, which by then is much slower than orc.
with mk to expand, u can kill grunt! stun and surround... and most importantly, u can control the bm. with stormbolt then focus fire, bm will take lots of dmg and have to ww. when he appears again, he'll be worried abt the 2nd stormbolt which may kills it. with bash, it's a bonus as well. after expand, skip tech to tier 3 then mass gryphon and dragonhawk.

vs undead:
sky uses archmage in TM and LT, paladin in EI and TS, mk in TR and SV.
main strat for pal and mk is to quick lv3 then kill acolyte. 1 holylight + 1 hit = 1 acolyte or 1 stormbolt = 1 acolyte.
in TR, 1st hero mk can choose to expand or don't expand in tier 1. you can expand then lv3 mk by then and look for opponent's dk. or lv2 mk then tech and look for dk to battle. try to surround dk, or at least make it low hp and camp in base.

vs night elf:
you can't use mk as 1st hero.
because demon hunter will mana burn your mk to become a big footman. GG...

death geass

i like code geass R2 more than the first serie.
i think it's because the story reminds me of death note.
can't wait for episode 4!!
so far there's too little suzaku action, and geass is everywhere...


imagine this guy can't control his geass like lulu, he'll become 'the last man on earth'.

although if it goes well, my unit has to agree and then go a big round to get myself out. probably gonna take a few months, or maybe longer.

not just that, these 2 coming weeks are filled with events, range and stugg. so probably won't book out for a long time. maybe i should use leave to book out this weekend. (omg, i need to use leave just to book out in the weekend.)

upcoming warcraft III TFT 1.22 patch

Karune has posted on his official patch thread the changes in the upcoming 1.22 patch. lets hope it's no april fool!

The patch was supposidly meant to be put on the test servers today but ""At the last minute we found a problem with the patch which could break the installs of a small percentage of users."

Here are the Patch Notes for 1.22:

Features

* There is now a replay auto-save feature in the options menu. Replays
are automatically saved to the "replay" folder.
* Added an option to always show unit and building health bars.
* You can now enable and disable the display of minimap signals
from players and other observers using chat commands:
/showminimapsignals and /hideminimapsignals.

Balance Changes

Human

* Scout Tower repair rate changed from 12 to 20.
* Knight damage increased: Attack cooldown changed from 1.50 to
1.40 and base damage increased from 25 to 28 (Average damage is 34).

Undead

* Increased Ziggurat base armor from 1 to 5.
* Reduced the build time of the Necropolis from 120 to 100.

Night Elf

* Reduce the Orb of venom poison duration from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.
* Increase the experience gain from Dryads from Level 2 (40xp) to
Level 3 (60 xp).

Fixes

* The cooldown on unlimited usable items (example: the staff of
preservation) now persists after the item is dropped or traded.
* A cooldown exploit with potions has been fixed.
* When you unburrow a Crypt Fiend, its auto-cast will no longer be toggled
off.
* An exploit bug in which items could lose their cooldowns when transferred
between heroes has been fixed.

Additional Maps

Furthermore, these 4 new contest winner maps will be included in the final patch, but not on the PTR:
* (2)MeltingValley
* (2)RoadToStratholme
* (4)CentaurGrove
* (4)TidewaterGlades

----------
i feel that the main change is "The cooldown on unlimited usable items (example: the staff of preservation) now persists after the item is dropped or traded."
because mainly night elf and human players have been abusing their staffs from their shops respectively. you get pissed when it's so hard to kill a bear, when it heals itself so well already and it can be staffed back and drink water (full life, full mana is really imbalance especially panda). then walk back to the battle field, while the staff is transfered to another hero (no cooldown in 1.21), and do the same thing. kinda infinite.. it's the same for human in late game, paladin heal the already high armor knight (easier to kill compare to bear though), and then staff back when it's dying. but of course it's not like night elf when u can drink moon well and heal immediately. human's unit will get teleported back and heal overtime not being able to make any action.

dryads give more exp and venom orb nerf, nothing much to talk about.

human towers repair get nerfed, all except human players complain about it. so expected a nerf. knights attack dps increase, also not a major change. i rather want its hp or armor increase. lol...

undead ziggurat increase armor from 1 to 5 and necropolis build time from 120 to 100. it is trying to improve ud's ability to expand which is their major weakness. mass zigg to block tanks? lol..
