NOTHING ELSE

Seriously,blizz? More than half a year passed by, not a single new posted.
Said that there will be a beta in early spring.So where is it?
What I pre-purchase this game for???
Not gonna lie, I giggled pretty hard reading this. I called this after the first month and a half of total silence, but people like Tri and Omlette would just shoot me down, telling me to “Just wait for the beta.” So here I am, still just waiting for the beta, with the worst form of “I told you so.”
They did not mentioned any spring, they said just they hope for a beta early 2019. Early of a year are the first 3/4 months, now is the middle of 2019. It looks like we get in the last 3 months beta and realise (fall of 2019).
I guess we get beta on blizzcon or after it and realise in december.
release date is a placeholder that means no earlier than 2020. blizzard gives players that pre-purchase the normal version of warcraft 3 to play until reforged is released.
a december 31 release date means no earlier than the year after. that is a fact. it was done with kingdom hearts 3(multiple december 31 release dates) as well as warcraft 3 reforged(one so far). you should not criticice me for how the gaming business creates false expecations about release dates.
square-enix never got that over kingdom hearts 3 despite pre-selling it on their website. other shops did as well. kingdom hearts 3 is the third in a series just like warcraft 3 is.
Is Beta Really Necessary? the game is practically compatible with the current version of Wc3, which has been “stable” for years. I was worried about the lack of information, but all I wanted was more information, templates, news of how the development is. I’m getting worried.
that there will be new details at BlizzCon is right. However, do we need to wait 1 full year to have a single new story of a game that we will be releasing in 2019?
I do not think it is healthy for the community to be left with no news for a whole year of a game that has an obligation to be released the same year. Many people are not asking for much information, but only a sign of life, a minimum.
Pete said 1.31.0 was the last major patch before Reforged. That’s literally the definition of a “sign of life” - before that, people might have asked whether the project was cancelled. Not anymore.
