Action Taken By Garena

Action has been taken by Garena for those Cracked Version Garena users.
Over 2000+ accounts has been banned due to usage of cracked Garena and Exp Hack.
Garena will show no mercy to those hack users from now on...

Chaos Gaming advices everyone DO NOT USE ANY HACK OR CRACK GARENA FROM NOW ONWARDS IN ODER TO GIVE EVERYONE A BETTER GAMING TIME AND FOR SAFETY PURPOSE.

We know that hackers will soon crack and break into the Garena new system , but my advice to all , for your own account safety , do not use it.

Benefits of 1.24b

Updating your warcraft III patch to 1.23 and above , is actually better and safer for players.
As many know , DotA 6.62 was released and only playable in 1.24b patch , this is to prevent the map being collided. I dont know how the map can be collide in 1.20 . 1.21 , 1.22 , but Alvin Janus knows all about it as he himself is a map creator.

Anyway , many Malaysian still uses 1.21 in Garena , arent they lazy? haha...
Hence , the use of collided map has been abused . There are many users of collided map ,
this causes the game not to be fair . Reporting these collide map users to the Garena Forum will be useless . This is because they didnt use any hacking softwares , nor Cracked-Version Garena but a dirty version of dota map.w3x .

So i advice all of the Malaysian players , UPDATE YOUR WARCRAFT III PATCH TO 1.24B to have a better gaming experience.

Alvin Janus gave me a few tips on how to know if there are players using collided map or not :

1. If the game keeps lagging , (like spike) some players might be typing some hack commands , chaning the value of his or her desire hack .This causes minor breift lag.
2. If players acts weirdly , and leaves whenever a Gang Bang is set for him or her.
3. An instant kill with one spell. (Example : Imaple , Storm Bolt , FlameBreak , Gush , Elune Arrow , Chaos Bolt , Phantom Dagger and many more)
4. A same person keep acuiring rune , when there is no Observer ward,
5. Having unlimited spell immunity after using Black King Bar for only once. ( this is because the changed value had messed up with the duration and effect of Black King Bar. (BKB))
6. The hero Doom Bringer farms extremely fast. The user might changed the value of gold given for his 1st skill , Devour.
7. Towers have +9999 armor even thought the Gyph effect has been over.
8. Players cannot teleport using Town Portal Scroll.
9. Instant winning without World Tree or Frozen Throne being destroyed.

Tips above are given by Alvin Janus.

There are request for uploading Collided Map and Cracked Version Garena in this blog ,

Me nad Alvin Janus's answer is NO WAY. We do not wish to destroy or ruin players gaming experience. We also wish that everyone plays fair without using any cheats.

And also this blog will not corrupt , advice anyone to use Collided Map or Cracked Version Garena.

1.24b Update and Download

I understand that some people uses a "pen-drived" version of warcraft. A "pen-drived" version means that that warcraft III is not installed in his/her computer , but dragged into the computer using someone's pendrive. The problem of using "pen-drived" version is you cannot update your warcraft III with the Blizzard Patch. This is because the Blizzard Patch cannot detect Warcraft III in your system , hence the results.

Many people have the urge to update their war3 version to 1.24b because IceFrog himself uses a 1.24b version of World Edit , so 6.62 and future dota maps can only be played using 1.24b.

As an EX user of "pen-drived" version of warcraft III , i understand the trouble to update warcraft . However , i now found an easy way for "pen-drived" version user to update thier warcaft!

Instructions
1.Download this file. http://www.mediafire.com/?3wwwmgjbzjt/

2. Download WinRAR , http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm/ ( If you dont have it )

3.Open the downloaded file using winRAR , extract every file to your Warcraft III directory. (For me its C:\Program Files\Warcraft III. )

4.If they ask you if you want to overwrite the original files you owned , click yes.

5.You are done from patching.

6.Enjoy!

Dota 6.62b

As a map creator , i know converting triggers from 1.21 or 1 .22 or even 1.23 to 1.24 aint going to be easy. Well , many had crushed their map , some bugged it because of the triggering converting. IceFrog himself also had bugged his map dued to the update of patch. The released of 6.62 was succesful , however, it was bugged. ( Bugs shall not be stated here for privacy purpose) . 6.62b was released not long after.

Warcraft III

After long time of thinking , i have decided to upload a Full Version of Warcraft III TFT for download. However , this will take quite sometimes as i dont have much time to upload it.
Its not as easy as it seems. Without a premium account of any storage webs , uploading space is limited , hence hard to find a server for uploading. Because of that , i will compress the whole Warcraft III folder to a smaller size. I found a server for me to upload up to 1GB of space and will start uploading very soon.

Uploading process will take around 2 to 3 day's times as i live in Malaysia , the connection here is abit unstable. So while the process of uploading i might DC (disconnect from server) .

So people , await my good news! ^^

Dota-Allstars 6.60b

Dota-Allstars 6.60b was released after a few days after releasing 6.60 .

However , IceFrog should be able to stablelize all theses errors very soon.
