I think it was said right away that aside from the intro, all other cinematics will be just upscaled instead of remade.

Nothing about layout changes to Capital city or Ogrimmar? That’s a shame that those assets are not included alongside with a major rework of those cities. Oh well, excited to see what’s changed and what’s not.

So are only these 3 cities reforged? (Maps)

Well, I haven’t seen it yet, but just in case i want to say that Dalaran and Silvermoon are being recolour of ech other but Sm winth wing everywhere and depressing autumn are not iconic, the same goes for Stratholme

Looking at Campaign changes one can truly realize that all the plans related to singleplayer were cancelled.

Now Reforged is officially an engine update & skin pack worth of 30$

Weird they didnt have that “recently fixed” section in the thread. Also didnt tell they fixed any of it in the New patch notes. I have a feeling they try to make us forget the problems.
