Warcraft III: Reforged Developer Update

The contempt in this post is palpable.

Let classic be its own thing. Restore it, Reforged can be separate. There is no reason to not provide support for it unless, of course, you wanted to FORCE everyone into buying Reforged because its a steaming pile.

Restore classic and let the people decide, most of us who want to play it are going to find a way anyways.

This truly could have been something great. After totally destroying HotS, this could have been their chance to compete with DotA 2. Blizz really dropped the ball.

So what about the missing unit animations and the ones that are in running at 30fps?

Are you working on the black screen after launching the game issue?

I really see no problem with keeping the old menu & stuff. Why wouldn’t they give us a possibility to switch between two versions not only regarding in-game graphics but also menu? When the day of the release came i just lost a big part of my favorite game. It doesn’t make sense for me.

another think you talk about what you talked the cut-scene that you would maintane like original but with a improved animation that excpetc walk there is present in only 10% of them, the other are the same (your remove the finger point of uther on stratholme one)
Ok so you talk about promise and talk on the last blizzcon?
And why some map are very beautiful and good like stratholme with visual update and other like capital city of lordaeron is exactly like 2003 that not seem a city like stratholme

What about the “we maintain the old dub” and all people that not play in english now have forced to have a new voice that is no good and cannot choise the old one or cannot set a different audio and text language?

Where is stats and achievement you promise us?
You never talk about less quality terrain or change that so where is the terrain of 2018?
And where you tell us that classic client will be purge?or the old download on the site for who play offline will be purge?or you cannot save if you are not online in the campaign single player?Where is the dk and dh generic model?Why we have 8 paladin and not them?

I can continue with the list, the question is simple you would maintain your word of last blizzcon or jsut what do you like to do for lazy?

I tell directly the point.If all the graphics are made by lemon sky studio in malesya
what you and all the classic have do in all the year?

If you would make a good remastered (because without reconnect to wow lore is no more a reforge) you must follow the exact path you make with starcraft:

  • use the same engine with just change a little and refresh the skin o the menù
  • use all the old audio dub
  • make the new ui the old one was too big also in 2003
  • make the same campaing loading just remake the 3d model in menù for a actually standard
  • make the cutscene liek stratholme
  • update all graphics

that’s all and with lemon studio work in all animation i think if you would you can make it easily, but maybe mr activision not care and just would the money so better ruin the name blizzard that was a name of pride in 2003 for release an alpha because that’s is this an alpha or an early access
if you prefer

I don’t think the devs have the first clue as to why people are upset.

“No-changes” strikes again. Please don’t take a “No-changes” stance if you ever decide to remaster/reforge Diablo II.

Blizzard, after that insanely corporate reply that I Swear I’ve read many times from other AAA companies, all I have to say is Banshee: Fuck you, cows - YouTube

During release week, I was conflicted. Now after this, I’m flat out done. This was the ONE thing you shouldn’t have screwed up, and you stealth released/done it anyway. I just refunded the literal one game release I was excited about this year from you guys. And now I’ve uninstalled everything and anything related to battle.net for the first time in…ever actually. There are too many other working titles, and soon to be release ones that are worth the time and money.

Good bye indefinitely until you develop something in house, and isn’t a stealth release #@$% up. WE ALL DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS

So basically you’ll make a beta version from the current alpha version. :clap:
Wasn’t the 1 month delay enough to solve these MAJOR problems?
Cringe.
I am sad and angry at the same time.

So basically, all the important parts are either unanswered for or nothing to be done about and the less important, in fact, comparatively insignificant problems are being addressed first? Blizzard, I defended you a lot in the past, but are you freaking serious?

You are running around five year old parts and their temps will reflect what you ask them to do with their cooling solution. Have you been running these parts since around 2016? Replacing the thermal compound/thermal pads may be a $2 fix that could pay massive dividends.

Game still broken. This post doesn’t address the main problem. Got my refund, Blizzard is dead to me but I still love the Warcraft franchise. So I’ll just wait and see if they release later all the features we were promised. If not, well there are many other games out there.

I’m glad to hear you’re in it for the long term! Now, everyone please come with contructive feedback on what to fix precisely.

One important point about the UI:
Fix the UI and make it about the social experience. Make us be able to choose a button that takes us to a UI similar to the classic one, which is more immersive. Noone cares about that unit (grunt, fiend, archer, footman) taking up the whole screen, or the race choice being so big. On that UI the clans and profiles can be accessed and adding friends etc can be more visible. That would improve the game alot!
thx!

Blizzard just give us the old LAN and you will see a increase in sales/less refunds, there are 3 ways to let custom maps community to be happy:

  1. Is change EULA to right of ownership to favor creators to have what they want as map content.
  2. No Censorship to profanely named/content maps and for maps to be allowed containing copyrighted stuff not owned by Blizzard.
  3. Bring back old LAN which is a way to assure no one crosses path with the copyright and profanity censorship problems. (Also i don’t get why Custom Campaing was removed that one needs to be back anyway.)

This was a low blow to warcraft 3 community by removing LAN/Custom Campaing and enforcing new EULA on players all at once. The Enforcement of players playing only a specific map pool you consider “right” was what most dislike.

Assuming that the first 2 are nearly impossible (for what your plans may be) give us at least LAN and Custom Campaign.
I believe that if LAN/Custom Campaing were still in the game the community wouldn’t have been so much angry and given you trust and time to fix the game.

Then what happened that you release the game in that unfinished state?
What happened to the “when it’s done” mentality?
Fair enough that the team is committed, apparently not the whole of Blizzard is committed though. If the company really cared that release wouldn’t have happened that way. It’s a spit in the face of the community and you know it and did it anyway … so embarrassing. You’d better respect were you came from, the classic games made Blizzard what it is.

They just said they WON’T remade the ingame cutscenes. I’m amazed as WHY they dare to call it Reforged if the campaign remains just an upgraded models version of what it was. It’s a shamefull move on Blizzard part.

NEVER AGAIN.

Yup! It’s such bullsh*t.
