Reforged is a forced downgrade for classic users

Man some people take big rips on people of the rock pipes, then think reforged is good, but hey they are the people of the rock, they think rocks are for smokin.

I am afraid to said that, but I am unable to download classic version of Starcraft too - it’s just downloading battle net 2.0 client, wtf

That’s just sad, but Bi$$ard doesn’t care.

it is possible to modify maybe the reforged files with the old files to have the old voices?

It is even worse for people who used to play this game in languages different than English. They forced new translations and dialogues, which translate proper names and have different voices.
I got used to my old version, their voices and not translating proper names. Now, instead of Stormrage I have Burzogniewny (Having angry storm) and I am furious.
I just want to have the game I had years ago… I can’t belive they changed my game eventhough I have not bought reforged.

I thought people would get reforged and I could stay with my TFT. I felt like the talk about Reforged and TFT/RC having crossplay was supposed to mean two different clients. I was so out of the loop on reforged from not caring about it that I didn’t realize this update was going to take away TFT from me. When I looked up why the update was taking a few minutes it was already too late. The game is insanely buggy, the campaigns are actually completely unplayable on my end, and even worse I’m not getting completely classic assets anymore.

I bet they knew it was wrong all along, released it anyway and screw loyal players. Blizzard died long ago and I feel stupid for giving them my money one more time. Last time.

Warcraft 3 TFT is basically unplayable for me now. Please just revert it to the way it was, it should be a separate game. Very disappointed.

The only reason why I would play reforged is graphics and they look incomplete. So, when they fix that, I will get back to it.

I wish I could say that’s surprising but that’s been Blizzard’s track record since before WoW. Betas have always just been “early access” not “testing”. They always say they’re listening but it really just goes in one ear and out the other.

They also made it very hard to install war3 a few years ago if you can ever get beyond the frozen updater. They also removed resolutions that got rid of the black strips on the side.

The UI is terrible, I bet they will add a sc2 type level system… just like the avatars /throws up

I’m honestly depressed about this. 13 years of my life. All those custom games, the save files I had from them, that’s all gone. The people I’d made friends with? I can’t remember all their account names of the top of my head, but they’re gone too. Blizzard erased the account I’d held dear and all that came with it, and forced me to a poorly designed re-release that failed to do even the simplest of things. I want Warcraft 3 Classic back, not what ever the hell this unholy abomination thinks it’s pretending to be.

The update actually deleted saves, custom maps, and your old bnet account with friends list? That’s heartbreaking to hear.
Blizzard, get your s-h-i-t together.

I’ve had people laugh at me when I say I broke down crying about this shlt, but I’ve played for years, and had so much time invested. I love Warcraft 3, and to have it all taken away? OF course I’d be depressed. This isn’t fair at all. I never wanted Reforged, why should I love the game I love because I don’t want to PAY for a fvckingdowngrade?

I played this as a young adult, and loved it. I was one of those who wanted something new, not the same game I played back when it was very first released. I think they should have kept the old game the same and made a reforged version apart from the original to appease both sides. It seems like the best middle ground. This isn’t reforged. This is re skinned and then broken. Didn’t buy/won’t buy unless it becomes more like Starcraft 2 in content. That’s just my opinion/preference.

The other reason is the lack of communication. If they come out and say they planned on adding more later, I’ll be irritated as to why they didn’t say so in the first place. They’ve grown so big they can’t communicate it seems.

I am very angry with Blizzard. They have also removed the option to play skirmish against computer A.I. (easy, normal, hard). Now i cannot train anymore without fear of leaving real players when having to quit the game for whatever reason. Also, i have had a forced upgrade to the new sluggish client (slow menu’s, buttons take a second or more to react on mouseclick etcetera). Blizzard not only made a bad new game, they made my purchased copies of RoC and TfT unplayable! I am very dissapointed! @blizzard, give players back the old TfT and RoC clients, they have paid for that and all their functions!!!

I don’t have Reforged, but the battle.net client is forcing me to download the Reforged client anyway. Why is there no option to download just the classic WC3 ROC/TFT client?

This is terrible. BLIZZARD needs to LISTEN! I, like SO many others, have played WC3 since the very beginning. To destroy the ability to play a game that has been a staple in the Blizzard community is criminal. We PAID for this game. For me, it is the ONLY game out of the dozens of games I had played years past that I still play… until now. Like so many others, without access to the game that was perfected over a dozen years ago, there is NO POINT to do anything with Blizzard anymore. It would be the final resignation from games.
