[Important] How to bounce-back?

General Discussion
#1

Let’s make a list. So far, Blizzard has:
-Forced spyware under our noses during patch 1.28~
-Rushed updates filled with confirmed bugs.
-Broke dime-a-dozen custom maps that will never be brought back
-Forced us to update 30~ Gigabytes of wasted disk-space of something we cannot use.
-Gave us 0.2-10 FPS Menus made via HTML that you can run through browsers (Let that sink in)
-A game that you can easily tamper with through cheat-engine.
-Sounds that work for Classic and Reforged users (My ears bleed)
-Removed lobby-features such as /me, /stats, or clans
-Forced users we once knew to use a blizzard username - we no longer know who is who, and some folk don’t use discord.
-Broke almost every custom model since 2003… (aka, break every map with custom models).
-Gave us credits that keep repeating “Storm Earth and Fire” over and over again.
-Literally false-advertized the amount of content found in the game.
-Fiddled with the EULA clauses, removing many of our rights of possession to works we’ve made through our own time and effort (We already didn’t have much possession anyways).
-Got a legendary and iconic game, again, LEGENDARY AND ICONIC GAME, to the status of BELLOW FALLOUT 76’s., AGAIN, BELLOW FALLOUT 76!

This is no longer a sinking ship. This right here is called a catastrophe of epic proportions. There is absolutely no way to bounce back from the situation. Congratulations on surpassing Bethesda’s programming, you’ve just created a new standard of ‘broken beyond recognition’.

I have to respectfully disagree. The Reforged version has gone above and beyond expectations. True fans of Warcraft have been gifted by Blizzard by yet another high quality product!

I agree, it went beyond expectations — but in a negative sense. I am a true fan of warcraft, I had it since 2003 from the very first version. I’ve defended Blizzard and told everyone ‘give them a benefit of the doubt’. I feel ashamed of actually defending them at this point.

Reign of Chaos released in 2002, and the first version of Warcraft was released in 1994 :slight_smile:

I’m speaking about a hand-held wc3 CD with its key.

#8

Hand-held? that term is used for devices, such as phones or gaming systems (handheld)

the term you are looking for here is “physical” as in a physical copy of the game, along with its CD KEY

but that still doesn’t change the fact that WC3 was released in 2002, not 03

Fallout 76 offers a premium subscription. WC3 can’t possibly fall below that unless they start offering a monthly sub for premium WC3 content.

#10

I’m gonna need some citations for: Spyware, menu running in html.
Also Bethesda and Valve have similar clauses
and 30 wasted gigabytes? I need some explanation on that one

#11

Subscription to gain access to all the features that classic offered but which are currently inaccessible.

#12

Blizzard is deniying refunds! WARNING! I think this thread tells you everything you need to know. They are, as I said, bellow fallout 76 at this point.

#13

I have little sympathy for you if you pre-ordered any game. And they haven’t started offering a premium sub for a broken game. So nah, still not below Fallout76

#14

Dude, I didn’t even buy reforged yet I’m affected cause Classic got botched and integrated into reforged. Imagine having to use a client that you run on 1 frame per second and step into the shoes of someone literally forced into said situation. It’s outrageous not just for me, but 95% of the active community with the exception of those that want to believe something good will come out of it.

#15

Okay, that sucks. My point is comparing it to Fallout 76 is a silly. This won’t make nearly as big a stink and will be forgotten about by the majority in a week or so.

#16

…The community has been complaining for a whole good year already, this really won’t blow over after a week man.

[Edit] Alright so, the person in the thread got a refund after a bit of outcry. Congratulations to him! Let’s hope Blizzard keeps that up. Not under fallout 76 yet I guess.

They are even worst then EA, with this move. They used to be my favor developer. WTF. Heart broken
