I am very exited for Warcraft Reforged but as I started playing the campaign over again, (because I realized I had never made it all the way to the end), I remembered why I stopped playing; difficulty. I am a Blizzard game lover but also a casual gamer and am not actually very good at video games and I find the campaign really hard. The one thing I really want is an easy difficulty in the campaign so that I can enjoy the new graphics and old story without worrying about losing. I know that this request is bigger than I realize but I would really love to see easy difficulty happen.

is there something specific you find difficult? the campaign is pretty straight forward. How far have you gotten so far? What level are you on?
Have you ever tried playing a custom game 1v1 against the computer? you can put the difficulty on Easy and even set a Handicap to 50% (which makes it EXTREMELY easy) but thats only for custom games, not campaign
I suggest trying it out, its a good way to practice and might help you learn the game better
I made it to somewhere in the middle of The Frozen Throne. Thinking back the actual problem is that I am impatient. I try to go in a little to early and loose most of my army and then have to wait to rebuild it. Also I have been playing Starcraft 2 for a long time and it was my introduction to Blizzard. I always played on casual and probably ruined my opinion on how hard a campaign should be.
Practice playing 1v1 in a custom game against a computer, you can set it to Easy and if you can beat the computer on Easy, try bumping it up to Normal⌠you will get a lot better if you play a few custom 1v1s
Also, TFT was intended to be a bit more difficult than RoC, and they made the levels much bigger
I actually do lots of two versus AI with my brother and do as well as him and we play on normal. I am actually not sure what I find hard about the campaign. Maybe itâs the constant attack waves? Also on missions were you canât get more troops I usually lose my army pretty quickly because I find the micro hard.
whats the last level you played? each level has there own little tricks to make it easier
If you donât care about playing the game on a technical level, let me introduce you to your two new best friends.

I donât remember WC3 campaigns being so hard, ok some are âsomethingâ but⌠keep in mind there are no difficulty choice in Starcraft Remastered campaign, and Zerg mission 8 & 10 from Brood War are hard as @!ÂŁ%$!

I find the normal setting in campaign a cakewalk thus far, but the âeasyâ setting in custom games with just me vs. computer is ⌠not easy. Feel like itâs âvery hardâ in SC2, or at least âharderâ there. I win some, I lose some, but only one or two wins have been easy.
Now Iâm definitely not anywhere as good as I was way back in the day butâŚyeahâŚsomething seems off with it. If they made a better AI, great, but Iâd prefer to have it spread out from genuinely easy to insane/elite. Still, I guess I have to jump in feet first, which is a good way to learn fast.
if you are looking for some help let me know and we can play some co-op together
Nah thatâs cool. Itâll come back. I played this all the time 15+ years ago on the ladderâŚ
I think they might have screwed up w âeasyâ setting in custom games. I just played a 1v1 vs. computer on ânormalâ and it was a cake walk. WAY easier than the âeasyâ games I started with. Trying insane next.
(I mean, Iâll play if Iâm online⌠but definitely donât need help. Itâs coming back. Bit by bit).
But you can set the campaign on easy? Are you saying easy is to hard? I have been playing on normal and have been breezing through it, but I have been playing Starcraft and Warcraft for years so itâs hard for me to imagine easy being hard. Use cheats, or yea just practice. Practice will help you get better at anything. It wouldnât hurt Blizzard to add a casual mode for those just wanting to do the story.
Do cheat codes still work? They were added specifically for casual players or children who just wanted the story.
For example the cheat âwhosyourdaddyâ made all player units take 0 damage and deal 100 times the damage to enemies. These were entered by using the chat functionality.
Iâm not saying easy campaign is hard. Normal campaign is a breeze.
Custom game easy seems wrongâŚnormal is easier there.
You need to take your time. Itâs like SC, get yourself a functioning base with some defenses. Form a small party, some siege if required and go nuts.
The only stages on normal difficulty that are still a little difficult are the final ones for ROC and TFT; however, with any stage, a sure fire way to know how to deal with it is to watch someone complete the stage on hard difficulty.
Sounds odd but it works, you can learn what they do and how they do it, and even if you did it at 1/5th of the speed, itâs still enough to finish a normal level.
are you using the default hotkeys? you might want to check out the grid setup along with how to setup inventory hotkeys:

Video games are meant to have some difficulty. Iâm playing on the most difficult settings and I was about to post the opposite of this.
When I played the original there were a couple missions that were hard. The timed ones usually where you have to survive.

Yes they still work beside the Motherland cheat. Because they put RoC and TFT campaign together you can only skip to last RoC mission.
At the start of every map click âenterâ then type âwhosyourdaddyâ
Youâll be just fine
