Blizzard, Your art style is perfect! Don't change it

From what I heard in the Blizzcon Q&A of War3 Reforged, I believe there should be a mode within reforged game for you to enable to revert to using old assets / models if you choose to dislike the current modern elements of the lovely war3 reforged game.

I kinda agree with this, while the grunt looks pretty cool the face just screams “villian from a pixar movie”, instead of badass grunt.

I know heroes have to be larger than other units for gameplay reasons but I hope blizzard doesn’t make them giants (like in WoW); at least not in cut-scenes and other places where game-play isn’t a factor. I also hope blizzard will try to make the buildings as large as they can while still fitting them within their pathing/collision restrictions (although changing some of the pathing and structure sizes might not be a bad idea) There’s nothing more hokey than seeing a hero half the size of a farm or tower. In summation - smaller units, larger buildings.

The point of Warcraft game is to look like other Warcraft games. Look at the WoW Battle for Azeroth. Good animations, HD textures and it still have the same feel like orignial Warcraft 3.

I will always prefer some realism and more blood than casual goof disney WoW style. Warcraft is a about battles and it shouldn’t be watered down.

I’m still waiting a screenshot showing how warcraft 3 was super dark and realistic.

It’s a very simple wish.

I’m not sure I agree with that. They are both more realistic than earlier games while still being cartoony.

I completely agree with you. I’m just wondering why are they demanding a lower quality art. If they really want a lower quality art, they can just stick with the old game, that’s pretty much it. They are just trying to ruin the game for everybody else, what a drag. We are dying here to see a more detailed, gorgeous, HD units, a dream that’s finally come true.

Warcraft 3 has the best aesthetic of any rts I saw as a kid. I wouldn’t ever change it.

It has to change if it’s to be updated. Me, personally, I like what we saw at BlizzCon.

And Logan! It’s all because of the doggo, the master of remakes and the harbinger of Activision in disguise!

P.S. Hey, post 105 was posted on November 18th, and post 106 was on December 18th but… there is no “30 days later” between them! A bug? On my forums?

i just read the original post.

and screw you ?? the current Reforged looked more like HOTS off of first impressions then what we are asking for.

the MEME posts that you mentioned are just that MEMES…

what i want, and what (and the people you target in this post) is for wc3 to retain its current graphics… but just better…

is that hard to understand ?

simplest example… why not make the footmen how it is in wc3 ? white/metalic color surrounding shield and spike in the middle.

why make all of the armors oh so extremely detailed ? this is not an MMORPG to make characters with this extreme details. simplicity in design does not mean we are demanding low quality models.

if you’re going to say such hostile things to the concerned people then i will turn on your @$$ and say you’re just a graphics wh@re. someone that quite literally made a post that said the art shown at Reforged is PERFECT = flawless… and needs no change.

and i’m sorry but the 175 people that liked your post are the same.

If I were Gimli, Pete would have my axe. If I were Kael’thas, he would get my… spheres.

What I’m getting at is that I am one of those who look at Reforged Uther and go “yeah that’s the best Uther I have ever seen”. When I look at his hammer, I get happy when I see the shimmering runes. When I look at his silhouette and his pauldrons, I understand that I’m blessed to live in this amazing timeline where the WPK has acquired nukes we once again can see the genius of Blizzard in action! Just like in 2002-4!

The Reforged artstyle is what I crave. It’s what gets me going!

HotS, on the other hand… I’m a fan of HotS, but even I was not impressed with Samuro back in October 2017. But when I saw the Blade in Reforged, I could not believe my eyes.

WE do not agree 99% of the world wants them to fix hots 1990s graphics.

I know what ‘HOTS’ means but I don’t know what ‘1990s graphics’ means in this regard.

and remember we’re not saying Reforges art style is S#IT… we are simply pointing out some problems.

The fanboys on these forums disgust me, majority of warcraft 3 players do not agree with OP, majority of warcraft 3 players are NOT a minority, the only “vocal minority” are fanboy yes-men like OP who have helped destroy this game.

Blizzard has destroyed warcraft 3 for me and so many others, I hope reforged is an absolute disaster at this point, just to stick it to all you fanboys who helped spurred them on to destruction.
