Greetings Raiders, Tinkerers, Harbingers, and Wardens,

The last test realm catalyzed a lot of good discussion. We appreciate the critique and continue to be sensitive to the many ways we all enjoy Warcraft III. Overall, communication has been civil and oriented toward actionable feedback. Thank you.

This new iteration to the PTR addresses a number of issues we can all agree upon. Included in the patch notes are other features we will integrate within 1.30.2 before its release. PTR is for testing ideas - be it balance or features - and we will continue to use it as such.

Specific Changes & Improvements
Added a filter for lobby name
Added a filter for map name (prefix with @)


Previously Added
Maps will now be uploaded and downloaded from the cloud
All custom games from all gateways are now visible in the lobby browser
Port forwarding is no longer required to host your favorite map
Encrypted network traffic
Updated custom game listing to have all games (for filtering) but list still shows the first 100 games
Added region filter to custom game filter
Added auto refresh of game information if less than 100 games on list
Custom games that are full (or unjoinable) get auto grayed out on games list (refresh to remove)


Bug Fixes
