I love 2.0, but there is one remaining issue that sticks out like a sore thumb.
Brad Chad (RTS team lead)'s philosophy is, quote, “When something is broken - you fix it. When something is wrong - you make it right.”
Unfortunately it appears this principle doesn’t apply to the Campaign changes introduced with Patch 1.33. At least not for now.
The changes were reverted in Patch 1.36 because of persistent crashes on UD05 and NEX04 among many other missions.
Problem is…
a) Users have long figured out what the cause of the crash is (weather particles, IIRC) and how to fix it.
b) The changes were massive. The Campaign as it is right now is very outdated. Ex-developer on Reforged (Kam_Ghostseer) and his team did a full balance pass, introduced a Story mode and a functioning Hard mode (the latter is bugged atm), finished many missions that featured mini boss fights and updated art, introduced tons of new audio… the list goes on and on.
There were a few quirks like Sylvanas’ AI in UD03, but overall, it was very polished.
If the new RTS team can implement a fix for the crash and bring back Kam’s changes, the Campaign community would be very happy.
