Well the funny thing is, the worst thing they could do right now, is apologize… you never, ever, apologize to a mob. it accomplishes nothing and just makes them feel empowered to do it even more.
What they need to do is just say “here’s what we’re going to do…”
- fix this
- fix that
- add this
- make sure this stuff you had before is working again
- etc…
“We are listening to your feedback, etc… we’re going to keep working on this until it’s as good as it can be. Next patch is coming tomorrow.”
^ If they say this, I’m cool with that. I know others won’t be, whatever.

Glad to know you’ll roll over for empty promises not all of us are invertebrate though.

Lol. If you actually understood what happened to people who didn’t buy BC you’d understand that the comparison is actually more direct to TFT vs reforged than what you implied. There was no classic wow after BC came out, you legitimately just didn’t have the game basically after BC launched but you had your character still so that’s cool I guess right? I guess as it stands people can still play wc3 which is a better situation at least.
I mean I got countless hours of entertainment for nearly 2 decades for the price of $39.99. That doesn’t even amount to 1 penny a month.
You’re not “brave” for being “outraged” over a video game that costs $30. I think that’s part of the problem with what’s going on… people feel like they’re part of some great crusade against some corporate evil.
Calm down… it’s a video game. Jesus Christ…

The main issue I have currently is that classic graphics look worse than they did before the patch. There’s missing unit animations, missing textures, low resolution textures, no shadows, weird not good looking lighting, strange unit death sounds for the classic version, don’t know about reforged since I didn’t buy it.
lol Blizzard basically hits the reset button on specs and class balance every expansion. You’d think people would be used to this by now.
the only one on a crusade here is you. a crusade to white knight a billion dollar company while crying about other people crying and constantly bringing up muh evil corporation strawman

I like companies that make games I like to play. I wish the best for them, because that in turn increases my happiness.
Throwing a tantrum like a lost chimp however, to me, seems unproductive. But that seems to be the prerogative of people who use tactics primarily seen in children.
Yell and scream until someone walks over and pats you on the head. Not saying that doesn’t work, but it’s not a good look…

Also sounds like a convenient excuse to whine when the game doesn’t turn out the way you thought “reforged” mentioned.
What marketing are you talking about? They announced at blizzcon last year of all the changes people seem so surprised about.
How does buying 1 good product make up for buying a terrible product based on the good product? It’s just a “video game” yeah bro, and blizzard is a game company. You’re the dude laughing at jar jar Binks, and telling everyone else how great the prequels, and sequels are.
You are not above this stop acting like it when you make a thread on just a “video game” forum white knighting corporate.
We get it you’re cool with other people getting their money swindled.
You’re cool with others having their childhoods ruined.
You’re cool with buying bad products.
Congratulations dude you’re the perfect corporate consumer!
Yeah people outraged aren’t brave, but they’re certainly braver than you.

actually “throwing a tantrum” is exactly how you voice your opinion as a consumer. I know you’re all about corporate brown nosing but the lead designer on the game is currently in damage control mode on twitter and admitting that it’s unfinished and he’s sad about certain aspects of it. hopefully these “tantrums” cause blizzard to actually finish their game but until then you’re free to bury your nose in deeper
Got a link to their twitter warpten?
So in other words, Blizzard is doing the right thing and working to resolve issues?
Excellent. We can go home now.
Have you seen how the units move on the map compared to how smooth everything else is when playing at a high frame rate? The units move at like 30FPS, and it isn’t a performance issue. I run the game at 144 FPS. The units move like they’re from 20 years ago with new skins.
I don’t even care about that. They left out some things from WC3 classic. It is as if they did an HD remaster of a movie and left out some crucial parts of the damn plot. If you didn’t really play WC3, you’re probably fine. If you only played the campaign you’re probably fine too. I play the ladder. There is no profile. There is no working towards getting a new portrait. There is no win-loss record. What a joke.
Metacritic reviews on WC3 Reign of Chaos - 9.2
Metacritic reviews on WC3 Reforged - 1.8
You had one job. Enough said. This is very worth of a tantrum, and they need to have as many of these posts as possible to wake up. By the way, the Metacritic reviews have roughly the same amount of reviews.
You’re not brave for taking a stance on the internet. Everyone today does this. It’s low hanging fruit, and everyone thinks it’s their “right” to punch up and attack people who can’t possibly attack back.
That’s not bravery, this is what cowards do. If you stood in front of the team of people who worked on this, in person, with and met each one of them, something tells me your bravery and outrage would quickly shrivel up into a tiny ball of hypocrisy and you would swallow it and smile.
There’s nothing brave or real about what people are doing here.

Here’s a good question: Why did you assume that “reforged” meant “Every single cutscene is going to get the Arthas vs. Illidan treatment”? Why did you set your expectations so high?
When I bought the product, I (wisely) assumed that every cutscene would just be rendered in the new graphics with minimal changes. I kept my expectations realistic. And as a result, I am quite satisfied and happy with my purchase.
I kept my expectations realistic instead of blindly buying into hype, and thus I was not disappointed. You should try it.
As far as I’m concerned, yes. I paid $30 for updated graphics on one of my favorite games, and I’m enjoying myself quite a bit. Frankly, I was quite shocked to see this level of outrage over a simple remaster. The Blizzard community can be such a disappointment.

Go to their official website.
They are still advertising features that were cut, and using promotional material like videos and screenshots that do not reflect the current state of the game. That is very misleading for people who aren’t aware of the current state of the game.
Even statements like ‘improved UI’ are thinly veiled, considering nothing in the UI was improved other than HD icons. Also terminology like ‘Bringing Classic game to the Modern Age’ is very misleading for people into thinking that this game has been modernized in any way. This term is never used for Starcraft Remaster, mind you
