What is the hold up?
I don’t think getting some new screen shots or game play is asking a whole lot. Is the beta still planned? Is the project on hold?
We are coming up on a 6 month drought here.
This secretive cloak and dagger approach doesn’t work anymore. Look what it did to Diablo.
and posting about it won’t help either
At this point with such a gap of information between the BlizzCon announcement and the present, I think I’d be much happier to just see them drop a bomb like:
“Here’s footage. It has Undead and Night Elf in it. New tilesets. Snippets from the Reforged campaigns. Oh also here’s the date for when beta invites are going out. See ya.”
Rather than try to trickle bits and pieces out to appease people.
EDIT: Especially when, at least to speak vaguely, I could see a few people on these forums thinking all that they’re willing to show in a few screenshots or a video clip is all that they’ve got done in 6 months.
“REALLY THAT’S IT WOW BLIZZARD TRASH GAME BAD DEVELOPERS.”
I’m hedging my bets on the 800 Customer Service and Marketting people they laid off after Blizzcon.
Maybe not the only reason, but certainly one of the big ones for why we’re not getting website or Blue Post updates from any community managers.
That certainly didn’t help.
But anyone can take a hour or less out of the day to post updates.
Yes, but who? The classic team doesn’t exactly have a staff of interns available to do that stuff…
Also, if they post anything, I’m sure everyone would start attacking them about the bad balance or the game dropping custom maps or something like that. I’d rather just wait for the big update.
With screenshots we cant attack them but give feedback.
Now when the gameplay does come eventually then its “dev crushing” time.
So might aswell release a quickshot photo of anything behind the scenes.
I agree, at this point small chuncks of infos thrown every week is pointless, if they wanted to do that, they would have started it on December 2018.
I am waiting for a short YouTube update on WC3R from our favourite Malaysian developers, possibly before september 2019 lol
Why would screenshots be worthless?
Honestly anything other than news from BlizzCon 2018 would be appreciated.
Not exactly new, but what about this?
There hasn’t been many comments about kodo beast, good idea.
I didn’t check the original model, but from what I see now, this one looks very faithful and definitely has a Warcraft 3 vibe. I like it.
Because they need to reignite the hype with a small YT trailer before finally start to update us weekly with screenshots
As in this small mouth large objects are placed?
Honestly I just wait for the next patch. I don’t mind waiting for Reforged if they release amazing product.
What info has been released since Blizzcon?
And yes this is a concern because they have the game avaliable for Pre-Order. If they put the game on hold then they owe everyone who pre-ordered their money back.
If by January 1st 2020 they haven’t released the game, sure.
A whole year to Pre-Order a game?
That is how purchasing Reforged currently functions, yes.
Bob Marley riding kodo beast , its awesome !
Maybe it unhinges its jaws like a snake. I really wonder how animations will be handled with this more realistic approach. I have a feeling they’re just gonna have a unit disappear with the Kodo doing a regular ‘realistic’ chomp animation. I really want the War3 cartoony muppet jaws to come back here.
