So, Warcraft 3 Reforged is likely going to be released in an unfinished state

If that doesn’t scare you about the prospects of Shadowlands, I don’t know what will.

It’s launching in 6 days and it’s not a stretch to say it’s unplayable.

I’ve thought about cancelling my shadowlands and W3 reforged pre-orders

What exactly is wrong with Warcraft 3 reforged?

Games failing to start at all, if they do start you have a good chance of getting kicked, or hey all the other players desync and get kicked.

No UI improvements, some game models are still REALLY raw and clearly not done. Some that are…just don’t fit and get really lost in the middle of the action.

Game hasn’t really been optimized.

It’s EXTREMELY buggy, like late alpha early beta levels of buggy.

Is there a beta for this thing? Or…?

That’s what has been out for a few months now. I’ve read stories that Blizzard had to farm parts of the work out to smaller companies.

We’re 6 days from launch, and they already delayed the launch once. It’s not looking good.

Well, if it’s in that bad of shape, hopefully they simply delay it again and fix it. :woman_shrugging:

I’m so glad I used gold to buy BFA, Shadowlands and WC3RF. It takes some of the sting out of these slapdash releases.

They already did delay it, it was suppose to come out before the end of last year.

I agree they should of delayed it, just way past January, because OP is right, it’s almost unplayable.

Instead of using BFA, this should be the game that best shows something is wrong at Blizzard.

Outsourced development mostly ontop of it just not looking particularly good. While it still holds onto the timeless WCIII gameplay it doesn’t look up to par. It’s kinda messy/ugly.

Wish I could’ve had some hands-on experience but the beta is multiplayer only. Not even a custom match mode w/ AI.

Isn’t the WC3 remaster being handled by a 3rd party? (E.g. Not Blizzard)

And that’s why the art looks a little off. I believe the starcraft remaster was largely handled by a 3rd party as well.

I could take messy/ugly.

I just want the game to work.

Wasn’t it delayed?

Blizzard is struggling right now. What is going on at blizz HQ?

Yes it was supposed to come out last month.

True but they can’t delay now because the window to offer refunds again has shrunk.

It is what it is at this point and will launch as it is in the current state.

I am so glad i didn’t preorder the game. I must admit that meat wagon mount made it really hard but now i see it was to bait people into buying an unfinished mess.

I feel really let down about it.

I loved WC3, always went back to it. Thought that there was no way I wouldn’t buy the remake and the mount was the icing on the cake.

If they do frequent patches there is still a chance for reforge to turn out alright. But that will require some communication on their end to let the players known they are working on these issues.

With how 8.3 turned out with all of the bugs and issues, I don’t have a lot of faith in Blizzard turning the ship around anytime soon. This game is a prime example of “wait for the reviews”
