I understand that they have fixed some issues, and I know someone will come and say that. But it’s absolutely insane that they haven’t addressed what is probably the most crucial problem - the ability to report someone who leaves. Also, getting kicked from a game and still playing against AI continues to be an issue. The Warcraft 3 Battle.net profile still doesn’t function properly. I see it as if the game will never be fixed; I don’t understand why people still play on Battle.net. If everyone moved to Wc3 Champions, they would likely have a better experience. It’s just a shame that such a great game is being ruined because of their behavior. Nothing has been fixed at all since I left the game 8 months ago because I got tired of them ruining the experience.
They haven’t even fixed the MMR problem, haha. They are a joke
Exactly! Just now, I was in a game, entered, and got kicked out in 2 seconds. It’s searching for a game while I’m stuck on the status screen, waiting for my MMR. It’s frustrating to know that you can get kicked out of a game. It’s such a simple issue to fix, and they seem to be neglecting it for some reason. I can’t believe they are this incompetent to let this happen
Captain Listen, don’t call me a troll! You have been my head for a long time; stop being rude, okay? Have a little more respect. You don’t want to turn this into a fight now.
In fact, what would be unbelievable to me would be if the game was treated like someone’s passion and all technology issues were completely resolved. If that happens, remind me to post here. I will gladly post in surprise, “I can’t believe they were able to perfect the game to become what we all hoped and dreamed of and to meet everyone’s expectations!”
That guy is just a troll, he’s acting like it’s still 2020. We established all this long ago, screaming about how horrible blizzard is didn’t do anything then, and it won’t do anything now. Why not just shout from the rooftops or something?
Lost respect for the Hive community when they rolled over and accepted this.
One would think that the Hive community, more than anyone else, would be most incensed that a game they poured their passion into for 2 decades was forcefully taken away like that.
But nah, they just accepted it, and now are modding the ugly-a** reforged models, that ActiBlizz (now Microsoft) own anyways. Does it feel good to do somebody else’s work for free?
Hive was a large community, that could’ve united people in rejecting reforged, keeping pre-reforged versions, and modding them. But nah…
What if the problem isn’t Hive, but that Hive allows users to do whatever they want based on the activities of active users, and Activision or whoever was sufficiently capable of paying the social media to have a larger number of people interested in Reforged than in Warcraft III?
I don’t think the Warcraft III modders disappeared – they simply didn’t exclude the Reforged modders from their website.
No worries, that stuff wouldn’t hold up in court anyway. If someone used their modeling work in their portfolio and Microsoft attempted to take action based on that, the unenforceable EULA would be facing scrutiny.
Only thing it takes to change that is someone brave enough to take em to court over it with enough cash to get to the point where it can be pointed out. Sadly the cash is the crucial part.
First: your (AmigoLt, not BrotherRoga) opinions about Reforged graphics are subjective. You might not like them, but you aren’t everybody. The graphics as far as I’m concerned are the LEAST problematic element of W3R. It’s fine if you don’t like them, but it’s simply easier to deal with on the modding side. Nobody “rolled over.”
Again: Not everyone hates the reforged graphics like you do. And from a map making perspective, most map makers are building for gameplay, not graphics, so anything that doesn’t absolutely need to be changed just gets left the default. It isn’t a statement for or against the Reforged graphics.
So yeah, you can hate the Reforged graphics if you want, that’s fine. But hating on the mapping community for not forcing the Classic graphics? This is just silly. It’s all about the gameplay anyway. I could care less what assets the map makers use as long as they built something that was fun to play.
You assume that the only thing I hate about reforged is the graphics? And even talking about graphics, things I mentioned aren’t just subjective looks. Maybe pay some more attention to my comment, and realize this is two differen’t threads you are replying to. Try to keep up with the conversation.
I could care less what assets the map makers use
You probably wanted to say “couldn’t care less”. And maybe you don’t care. Other people do.
No. Where did I say that? I specifically addressed your comments about graphics. That doesn’t mean you (or anyone else) don’t have other grievances. I’m certain you do, and even I do- but that wasn’t relevant, as I was only speaking to your graphics comments.
The reality is, people would rather play the game and deal with its crap factor than not play the game, and if you make a map and want to share it with the world, you need to take it where the most players are. And unfortunately, because people like playing online, they are using battle.net (or W3C), and not an older version of the game. So as much as you want to hate on map makers for doing this, they simply want their maps to be played and it is unreasonable to fault them for that. Sure, you can blame Blizzard, and many would agree with you, but it is ridiculous to get mad at map/mod makers for supporting the latest version, because THATS WHAT PEOPLE ARE PLAYING.
And that’s the boat I’m in as well. Yes, Blizzard screwed a lot of stuff up and still hasn’t fixed a lot of it. But I can play the game, and I would rather play the game and deal with the stupid stuff than not play the game at all. The same goes for most of us- we’re just making the best of a crappy situation.
You clearly talk about graphics here, and then you always act like you know best what everyone wants or doesn’t want. Of all people, you know the least about what people want because you’ve consistently demonstrated that in all the topics youve been a part of. So you are the last person who should ever talk about what people think or believe because you know the least about it, and you clearly demonstrated that between June and September 2023. So, I just want to make it clear to you that you should never speak about what people like or dislike. So please behave, be humble, and stop constantly provoking people.
And now you’re pretending like you never said that, so he can believe your manipulative talk by saying “Where did I say that.” Stop playing around and behave. For once in a single topic, you could admit once that you made a mistake by saying that. Everyone can say it exccept you. I hope you’re not a narcissist and a person who can never admit when you’re wrong. There have been many topics where you could acknowledge your mistakes, but not in a single one have you admitted your errors and your behavior.

I’m sorry if my previous responses have caused any confusion or frustration

I apoologize for saying it incorrectly. It got a bit mixed up, and I can admit that. I’ll try next time not to express myself wrongly. As I said, I am human, and I can make mistakes sometimes. So, I sincerely apologize
look at one more
But look, I made a mistake its my fault. I misread and interpreted it my way. I apologize for that. Ill do my best to be more mindful of it next time.
Opinions are not facts and can not be right or wrong. And I really don’t understand why you’re replying to me as if my post was directed at you, when I was directly replying to another user.
I’m not responding to any of the rest of that, as it is clearly written to provoke.
I mean… if the opinion is formed from a base set of information that is very much incorrect, I’d argue they are wrong by default.
And as the famous quote goes: “Too many people have opinion on things they know nothing about. And the more ignorant they are, the more opinions they have.”
But anyway, Sprenter, jumping to conclusions based on Jack’s words is not going to end well. When he’s been wrong, he has willingly apologized for that and corrected himself.
Though I don’t entirely agree with that assertion, I have full respect for those who can say what they think without being insulting and who consider other points of view even if they don’t agree, which is why I like seeing your posts.
I’d have probably given a hard pushback to CJ on just how much the execution of the graphics and the overall choice to direct it in the way that it was done damaged War3. But i’m not really convinced Sprenters thread is the area to do so.
Especially when he thinks HW is somehow bad for accepting W3R as a part of W3 overall, because HW doesn’t “just” accept W3R. One is free to play the game as they please.
