General ETA on how long fixing the Mac issue will take?

It would be nice to know whether it will be closer to a week, a month, or a year until this issue is fixed :sweat_smile:

Especially because I just bought the game last week 2 days before getting locked out of it, if it’s going to be an entire month like I heard it was last time I’d rather refund the game and buy it again when it actually functions.

Side note, I never knew how incompetent Blizzard really was until trying to play WC3, been playing SC2 for 3 years or so and first of all, it’s free to play, and second, I’ve never seen a patch break the game like this. So might be a good time to get into SC2 :laughing:

Don’t worry, I will be fixed until the end of the year. Blizzard is amazing :pray:

Hopefully they do.

But for anyone who’s been around for a while, we know that’s not Bliz’s MO. So hopes are understandably not high.

If the plan from the start will be to rebuy it when it works, why refund it? D
It doesn’t serve a purpose if it doesn’t change the outcome.

Imagine you buy a vacuum for your house and it works for two days, then completely dies. You would likely contact the company and swap it for a new one, right?

Then, if they said “Sorry, none of our vacuums are working right now, we are aware of the issue and are actively looking for a fix,” you would probably ask for a refund and buy a different brand vacuum or wait until they had functioning vacuums again to buy one.

  • There’s nothing to swap with WC3R. They are all the same model and all broke at the same time. And all of them will start working again at the same time.

So, while you wait:

  • What other brand of WC3R would you be refunding the current one for?
  • What WC3R will you be using in place of the refunded WC3R while you wait for the first one to be fixed?

Your analogy doesn’t fit.

Just sit on it until it starts working again. If the plan is explicitly to rebuy as soon as its working again, there is no purpose in refunding it in the meantime.

Other RTS games. Made by people who actually care about them lol

That was a response to the comment about swapping for a replacememt from the same company. Read the threads. Jesus.

I read the thread. Jesus. Have you ever heard of a joke before? Hence the use of “lol” … OH WAIT I FORGOT YOU CANT CONVEY EMOTION WITH TEXT! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
Clearly at least one person saw the joke given the heart…

If you reply to another post of mine telling me to read, I will start reporting them as trolling.

As for reading, post like you have I won’t to anymore.

And no, given our history, the lol doesn’t convey a joke when repling directly to me.

And trolling doesn’t just mean not liking what someone says to you. And coming from someone who portrays how they want us to stop, is shown the solution, but then overtly does the opposite?

I bet all the people posting in these threads are the ones that don’t communicate in games. :joy:

Yeah, this really sucks. The one game that i don’t get bored playing is the one game i cant play at least the online version. "There was an error with handling the request. " Like, we paid actually monieeees to play this game and it just takes a virtual dump on all its customers and supporters. The VA has better service than this.
Literally the one game i have that makes my happy taken away. This is unreal

Personally, I play 1v1 like 90% of the time, so you won’t have to worry about lack of communication

I think part of the issue here is the company essentially holding on to your money while you wait… in theory that money could be used for anything from investing to paying down debt while you wait for a functional game.

That’s a good point.

But, it would seem that if one needs that $30 for something else right now, I wonder if they should be spending $30 on a video game at all.

@blizzard Please fix issue! It’s been 19 days! Should be a simple fix. Why can’t mac users play a game that’s been out for 20+ years? W3 battlenet ran smoother when I was in elementary school in 2003. Ridiculous.

He could buy and play Warcraft Classic instead.

And then respend on Reforged when it’s working again, thereby spending more money than they otherwise would have?

They can do all that without refunding Reforged.

Warcraft 3 classic no longer exists, they had the brilliant idea of ​​updating version 1.32 I think it was or something like that, to the completely reforged, Warcraft 3 classic is linked to the reforged itself, in its classic graphics and reforged graphics mode.
At the beginning in January 2021 many complained because they had to change their profiles and accounts from the classic Warcraft 3 multiplayer to the reforged and there was still no system of clans, tournaments, profiles and account information like in the classic multiplayer.
They were given 1 month I think to connect with their old accounts to the system because otherwise they would lose the progress accumulated for years.
The only Warcraft 3 that can be purchased is the reforged, unless you have the original or pirated discs obviously, by having a version without patching that does not update automatically, before patch 1.30 I think or what I know, but around there.
They didn’t even let you do that. I barely bought Reforged with my brother, they gave me the 2019 version of the classic, and I was finally able to finish the damned campaign of the Kingdom of Chaos without any tricks. I’ve been playing this game since 2006, in a cybercafe, at home, pirated, and then officially. Then the update came and the classic disappeared, please, if you have the classic version, whether on disc, or pirated disc, or downloaded, officially or pirated, keep it, save it, and if you can share it, not only the classic version of the game without reforged, but also the current reforged if you have it or they have it, because this message is not only directed to you but to everyone who reads it, please save them, even version 1.36 of reforged, because blizzard is going to disappear it in 2.0, and to top it off, since it works so badly, we are going to miss version 1.36, how bad it will work and how starving blizzard becomes, because of Activision and now because of Microsoft, keep the old versions, because they will do everything possible to destroy its past.

The pre-reforged version still exists from Bliz. As long as someone has their CD keys for them, they can still be played.

It’s still available to download from Bliz. It’s just not advertised.

The pre-reforged version will not update as long as the player doesn’t try to connect to Battlenet.

Careful with your information. Fact check it before presenting it as true.
