The game isn’t ready for launch right now, delaying it would be the best option (and re-record the voice lines with the wow voice actors, just like they promised)
Again - Why not just a global update? The game is ready - they can add new stuff later
I counted Varimathras which fullfilled that role in TFT. That was probably the least of my points anyway though.
Samuro is a Campaing Blademaster,so Grom really needs a new class. Warrior would be great,especually because in WoW he counts as a Warrior class character
Warrior is too simple. Everyone that is not a Caster, is a Warrior by default, in this game.
Warcheif then,or Clancheif.
Clanchief would not only be more accurate (he only lead one clan), but would also not beg the question as to why Thrall (the actual Warchief) is a Farseer class.
I’d really like new voice acting and new / remastered music.
I read your entire post mind you, but i feel like i need to point out that quote from you and say this:
If the people here that come for Reforged don’t think the existing game is not worth playing or buying or not worth their time in general, then they really don’t have a place in the community.
Your main concerns are largely connected to the campaigns, and from 2002 until now Warcraft 3 has changed and become soo much more. i really don’t see how are you in for all of those with statements like that.
NOT that i don’t value the campaign, MORE because its not what kept the game alive for 15 years. i really don’t see a person like you (Vulnero) would play the “perfect” Reforged for more then 2 years.
I’ll now point out my thoughts on your 5 points.
1 - I hardly doubt you SPECIFICALLY know what even are those, nor do you care, you and many like you at this point. are simply regurgitating something over and over.
2 - Blizzard never promised to remake all of the cinmatics, i’ll also use this as a platform to say, i really think people should watch interviews done by Back2Warcraft from Blizzard, and the 2018 panel entirely.
they never said they’ll remake ALL the cinmatics like the intro one, they simply said the reached out to the original renderers of those cinmatics and will be upscaling them to look far better and clear.
3 - You, or anyone, don’t get to demand for new heros either for the Campaign or in Melee. especially not even in melee where it has an extremely hardcore audience and balance of the game is at stake.
4 - I personally think Realistic Graphics are the opposite of what suits for the Warcraft universe. i have no idea based on what grounds you think its fair to dump on what Warcraft looks like. not you, not even Blizzard that attracted the wrong audience such as yourself by announcing “realistic” graphics. it was just cheaper to do for them so they went for it instead of making their art and models inhouse and true to the warcraft artform.
5 - Great example for me to use it as another platform, you underestimate that Reforged is really a side project for blizzard with not nearly as much budget apointed to it as you’d think it is. and that’s the problem, many people tend to think the might of a billion dollar company is standing behind Reforged while in reality its just a side project with not as much man power and money invested in it, because they aren’t going to get much out of it either.
New voice acting is in place, however they did keep old voice lines too. because wether your bias likes to admit or not, old voice lines are really good and have great character in them.
Music is being remastered.
iirc according to the official lore, Orcs also use the term Chieftain for their clan leaders.
But while we’re on the topic, apparently there was a scrapped Hero Unit from the WC3 alpha called Warlord. Considering the Warlord’s abilities were called Death Scream, Raging Scream and Command Aura - it’s hard not to imagine it was the originally intended class for Grom.
To be honest, I do not really need new gameplay content (Campaign, hero classes, etc.) All I wanted was to be able to play this “reimagined” version of warcraft 3. Not changed, reimagined. So new models, effects, animations and cutscenes and cinematics are the selling point for me. Or at least, were.
The thing is… Some models are lore breaking, some animations are weird, some effects look out of place, cutscenes are scrapped (i don’t care they did not specifically say that all cutscenes will be remade. We were shown a trailer that was supposed to represent what we are buying. The Culling trailer and blizzcon demo have shown us that cutscenes were remade, and that is what i expected. ) and apparently, cinematics (which were also hinted to be remade) are now just remastered for better resolution. Well except for Arthas vs. Illidan, and the intro (the fight between orc, human and the infernal). That is, if they actually KEEP the new intro. And yes, there are changes to multiplayer service etc. but that is just not enough. Because now, for everyone who is not interested in matchmaking very much, the game is little more than a glorified reskin that costs 40 bucks.
I wish we got an open multiplayer beta as the 2019 release, and then wait another year for full release, with at least most of what we were promised.
But I guess Blizz screwed up their reputation so much that they needed to quickly release something to save face. Too bad the will just ruin it more, as this comment sections implies. I cannot say that i will forget about Reforged. I still have hope that one day, it will be what it promised to be. Until that day, I’ll wait and hope that Blizzard doesn’t abandon the project.
Have you played it in the beta yet? Trust me, you do not want it released in that state.
What planet are you on?
I did, from the very first day of Beta, and 'till this day. And I’m okay with what I saw. Sure, it’s not what was promised originally - But at least I can see how the final project will look like.
Also, there’s such thing as global updates - It’s a regular thing for Blizzard to add new modes, heroes, gameplay mechanics, and visual improvements - Look at Overwatch, World of Warcraft,Hearthstone
I know, I also mntion that they should resurrect this class. It was supposed to use the Slavemaster model, and perhaps it could still do so for Melee, while using Grom for Campaign, a bit like Jaina in the Human Campaign.
The only skill known for the Warlord class, was Command Aura, which made it into the game as an item skill.
They should just delay it a few months in order to fix everything and make it run smoothly…
Why they should do this? Do you even have an idea what updates or patches means? Let the game come out!
In a better state, sure.
Game IS better,all you need - Is a global update. The game IS good
It’s fine but could be improved in multiple areas.
