In the community there is a lot of uproar right now because Reforged but why is that so? What was done wrong.
The biggest chunk of rage comes from the fact that reforged affects all Warcraft 3 players even if you don’t bought reforged. Blizzard thought it would be a good idea to merge the old classic version into reforged. But that caused a lot of events that players can not reverse.
It begins that everyone need to download 30 GB of stuff. So a lot of people have now files on their hardware which they can not use. They can no longer play WC3 without the launcher and getting always remembered at the start that this is now reforged.
The second thing is that a lot of features which where present in WC3 classic are now missing. Clans, custom campaigns loading own games. Even the server browser is worse than before.
Another part(but not for everyone) is the change of the dub. Blizzard said that people dont wan’t that extra stuff they want the original expirience. But its not the truth at all. The german Dub was redone entirely with no chance to get the other dub back. That means instead of the original names we no getting germanized names like they did it with WoW since BC.
I guess despite the fact that reforged has some serious issues people wouldn’t be so mad when they would have access to an untouched wc3 classic which should be a seperate game.
