Warcraft Reforged v2.0

That is not realistic, they wont do and add new cutscenes or redo them ( that is out ) they can try to fix the classic n reverse it to its original state if possible, Add ladder, fix animation on portraits and units, lighting both portraits-terrain, update the trees from the demo, fix the shadows, fix FPS drop, if they can fix all of this i would be happy n buy the game. I Know most of the players ( i think most of those players had no idea of what is going on on this forum for the past year, and that’s why they are more shocked than most of us who keep up with the news ) that there wont be redone cinematics and cutscenes , i already knew that, but i though they would at least keep the culling as the demo. There is still hope to make the game average at least. But they have to act fast and work it extra.

If Blizzard want to restore (at list part of it) their former reputation, they should reinclude what was promised and, as an apology, add some new features - that could show that they still care about their clients and fanbase.

The things I care about most are proper matchmaking/ladder (it’s unacceptable as is, I’m glad I can easily farm icons but it’s starting to get really stale), a fix for the somewhat frequent join bugs and a completely revamped menu, the current one being UNBELIEVABLY bad on all fronts - I don’t even know how they could greenlight that crap.
Then they can focus on fixing graphics, both classic and reforged.

The campaign is nice and all, but it’s a short term investment. The game is about both competitive Multiplayer and about Custom Games (including custom campaigns) in the long term.

  • Improve UI, settings, user experience all over the game (non-sluggish menus, good FPS, new interface, QoL improvements, a revamped replay feature, add live game streaming like Netease has for ages).
  • Bring back host bots or give an API to allow for COMPETITIVE CUSTOM GAMES with ranking.
  • Bring back ROC.
  • Add a good ladder system.
  • Make classic mode as it was - with shadows and effects.

AFAIK Vladimir Vihrov is, alas, dead. And I doubt they’d allow an old version of naming convention to exist :frowning:

Also, considering there is basically no reaction from Blizzard on what’s happening, literally nothing will be done even in slightest.
