Its impossible for such of this type a game to weigh so much! Maybe some movies as intro take up so much space. Disgusting practice and programming quality. Blizzard you should give for us option at the beginning “Do you want INSTALL: Old version OR New version”. And I also want to express my opinion about your servers bc they are a one big mhm, too frequent crashes. FIX IT!

You can’t deliver to blizzard anything through this forum. It’s easier to order a pizza in here than get a answer from bliz

With a TONS of new models with TONS of poligons and textures. + Classic game files
- As much as I get it - the classic game is free

I opened few models…
- You know if the Fallen Priest / Heretic have the same texture for i.e. skin - this texture is duplicated for both folders Fallen Priest / Heretic.
- Portrait models contains not only heads and shoulders, but also Weapon, Mount, Skeleton, Guts… wtf why? Nobody will ever seen Garithos horse back in portrait model. And this is for EVERY model.
- Buildings model now have 4 files instead of 1 - for birth animation, daeath animation, portain and stand (work).
- Teen mode with no gore - all models duplicated.
- Additional sound and music in maps - why couldn’t they just add folder in casc archive?
Well all of it looks like it is a raw and unfinished fan-made hd mode for wc3. I think blizzard didn’t put any effort to the game.
Everything is poor in terms of quality and optimization.

30 GB that you don’t want is most definitely a problem.

If download a 30 GB for a free game in 21 century for you is a problem…You’re weird
Blizzard put a lot much effort “fans” has ever made.
If you cannot access that content then downloading that content is pointless and a waste of both the company’s and the customer’s time and bandwidth.
So much so that they did 5-minute hack-jobs on changed voicelines and hired a 3rd-party modelling studio to redo models for them while they do an HTML project in Chromium.
Also are you actually calling those people who mod the game fake fans with those quotation marks around the word fans?

You do understand that many launchers and games working with that HTML thing and it’s okay? You do realize that whole Steam and Battle net is working on it? Same with,for example,SC: R Menu.
Why is this a problem if it’s NORMAL
Why do you care about it?
Also,yes,those who did nothing for the game and now whining - aren’t real fans. Those who thinks that they have right to tell developers what and how to do - aren’t real fans. Those who were worshiping an ugly,souless projects like Armies of Azeroth and Rebirth (Made 80% with stolen HotS and WoW models) and now calling a real nice game with unique models and cities bad - aren’t real fans. They’re just “Fans”
Gatekeeping much? Elitism ain’t gonna help you make your case.

Not my fault that “fans” are so weird people
What do you expect high resolution textures to take up? Let alone that it needs 3 or 4 per set for all the different layers needed. At max texture quality it is equally hungry for video memory.
Texture quality is roughly double that (each dimension) of SC2. So the amount of space used is comparable.
Hard so say. If they compressed the assets any more it might increase loading time as more CPU resources are required to load the large textures. Currently they are already compressed with fixed ratio DXT5 compression and then normal zip style compression.
It currently installs both. I do agree that there should be a “classic only” deployment with option to upgrade to include Reforged graphics later.
As much as I get it - the classic game is free
Well, no. I paid for it.

Yes, I am weird. Thank you for noticing.
Classic Warcraft 3 is like 3GB. Reforged is 30GB. If I have to download 30GB just to play a game that should be only 3GB, then there is 100% a problem and it’s not with my brain, it’s with Blizzard’s.
And yours for thinking they can do no wrong.
That extra 27GB is wasted space on my computer.

Then if you’re so toxic - Maybe you shouldn’t play at all
You paid for a Reforged one. Or you have paid the classic years ago
I don’t play multiplayer anyway. And I’m hardly “toxic.”

It is ok IF AND ONLY IF you purchased Reforged. It is NOT okay to force you download 30gb IF you DID NOT purchase Reforged.

Technically people who own classic can still use the reforged content in World Editor. Hence there is a small justification for it.
However I do agree that they should also offer a “classic only” distribution which is only 2-4 GB.

The problem is that it was their decision to mixed both of them up, not ours. So, the justification is not a justification in the end.
