Remember the words of Blizzard great CEO J. Allen Brack, from 11 months ago.
“Concerning Warcraft 3: Reforged, honestly, it’s been a bit of a hard week. Our community has come to expect really amazing things from us, and we’ve heard from them that we did not achieve that bar.”
“But we stand behind our games, and have consistently shown that not only do we support them, but we continue to build on them even after launch. And we’re committed to doing that here as well. We’re going to continue to update the game, and we’re going to continue to update the community with our plans going forward.”
How is the game now? The same.

Man they’re getting Vicarious Visions. They got like 200 + employees, trained in the art of war. Give it some times, maybe wait for Blizzcon too. I’m pretty sure Reforged is going to get the upgrade treatment!

IF you receive it, it will be in about 2 or 3 years.
And it may still be that the improvement is not real or valid. It wouldn’t be the first time Blizzard has told Warcaft fans, wait and see … and in the end nothing happens.

The problem isn’t what team is working on the game, the problem is the management not allocating enough time and resources to get it done properly.
Blizzard itself has an army of great artists and designers, some of the best in the industry. Very few of them ever touched on Reforged. We had an amazing Artist, Michael Vicente, work on… the Goldmine. And that’s about it.
The project was not given a good budget and from the latest report, had its deadline set without the team’s knowledge. Doesn’t matter how amazing the team is if the management isn’t supporting the ambitions of the team. With a deadline in mind, we can see why patches were rushed and so many features were broken. Add on top all the QA positions that were cut back in 2018; this adds to the developer workload. Instead of working in new features they’re spending their time doing their own QA.
VV being incorporated is only a temporary solution to a bigger problem - that Blizzard management no longer values spending time and resources on getting the job done. They’d rather cut loose and start over, shifting problems onto a new team to handle and continuing the cycle of cutting any team loose if they can’t handle the haphazard way Blizzard manages their own projects.

Trouble is that so far there’s no word of how they will be allocated. The internal team that the VV people are replacing is not just Reforged, or even just the Classic team. They are replacing the team that oversaw Heroes, SC2 and Classic Games.
The only semi-specifics so far is that some of them will be joining the purported Diablo 2:Resurrected project.

At this point many people would just prefer that they reverted to patch 1.31 features. This game doesn’t even need a ‘remaster’ at all in the first place. Hell, even Warcraft 2 (20years old) still has a small community of players working on improving ways to play the game and hosting tournaments often ( forum . war2 . ru) And I still find wc2 a much better game than wc3 to this day.
