I didn't call you childish, what are you on about?Irony. Calling someone childish immediately after throwing a temper tantrum via insults.
You have some reading comprehension issues regarding your own post then.I didn't call you childish, what are you on about?
No, you do. I was clearly referring to how you were claiming I should be an adult and research shit, ie I behaved childishly and unlike an adult (not an insult, right?), just because I pointed out your video didn't match your claims and asked if you have one that does match since you're the one who made the claim to begin with.You have some reading comprehension issues regarding your own post then.
Well for starters you and the one who post "marked as blizz-hater" looks nothing but "stop disliking the game I like!1!". Also your comment of pro tip doesn't do you any favors.
I don't know why the people supporting this game don't just go play the original release instead.
Really? Did they take down Battle.net support for it? I know you can still play Diablo 2 and StarCraft 1 on Battle.net so I assumed Warcraft 3 was the same way. I wonder if it's because of this release that they dropped support for it. If so that's extra scummy.You can't anymore, unless you use some private system like Netease to back your way into it, but even then you don't have the player base.

let's call it what this is: a low effort cash grab praying on the nostalgia of existing fans, while simultaneously make everyone use their new launcher and go online, as well as take ownership of all mods/custom maps.
If they had any confidence on this product, they wouldn't release this silently without little to no marketing. They are just trying to sweep this under the rug.
It's amazing people still defend this. Stop drinking the koolaid.
Thanks for the info, I had no idea. I have the older version around but I haven't tried to use it in a hot minute, that's really, really unfortunate. I guess I can't expect anything better from Blizzard these days.Yep, it's gone.
You can link your classic account with Reforged to merge stats though. The player bases are entirely merged.
You can also use the original WC3 classic visual assets cross play with Reforged, but you do have to have Reforged to play.
Which definitely sucks, because I do prefer the classic look, and the B.net UI by a mile. But for me the money is worth just upping the player base, and getting everyone on the new launcher. With classic WC3/TFT - you would have to wait forever to find players on ladder games - if at all. There were no big team games available in the West servers. EU servers you could find games after prolonged waits. There would regularly only be a couple hundred people playing at any given time. It sucked.
I'm having a great time with the game so far. I don't share your concerns, but for your sake I hope they can address them in some way. Meanwhile I'm heading back into the campaign.
Getting to revisit Warcraft 3 after all these years is great. The models are fantastically detailed. Blizzard didn’t have to reinvent the wheel as the game holds up and is still great fun. I was surprised how much fun it still was. If you want to play it in the original form, you still can. It’s worth $30.
Ahh great 30 dollars for a high res texture pack
Clowns buying this instead of AGE OF EMPIRES 2 DEFINITIVE EDITION are doing the industry a disservice. Rewarding low quality effort with big money. Keep perpetuating that garbage that Blizzard tries to pawn off as remaster. I'll keep playing my original copy thx.
New models and textures are more than a texture pack
Its quite obvious that your expectations of the final product are different than mine. New models and textures are more than a texture pack. I'm happy with the game we got. It met my expectation. AOE is great too. I have them both on game pass.
Uh..no its not?
My expectation was that Blizzard would treat one of their best games and its fans with the respect it and they deserved. That expectation was not met.
Blizzard knew that messing with the game too much would warrant a backlash from fans. I get why they went with the plan they did. You wanted some kind of new experience beyond a visual upgrade and that wasn’t what this is. I never expected it to be anything more and didn’t want it to be.
No, I didn't want that. I wanted the same thing that MS did with AOE/AOE2 DE, this is the opposite of that. Blizzard forced a mandatory update that throws them into a new launcher and new EULA, broke a ton of shit, added new graphics that look like ass, and left out the upgrades and changes they said it would have. AOE2 DE did none of these things.
WC3 and WC3 fans deserve much better than this.
MS has a new AOE coming out. I can see why the did what they did. No new Warcraft RTS in the works. Blizzard is concerned on making the new expansion to WoW and the sequel to Overwatch. I'm pretty excited with the potential of the new games that will be made with the Reforged editor. There's always that to look forward to as well.
"Well, we're asking $30 for a piece of shit because we aren't trying to sell anything else" - good luck with that Blizz.
I'd recommend keeping your expectations low on the new editor and custom maps - nobody is going to be too excited about wading in when everyone hates your game.
no one is gonna make anything because blizzard will own anything you make. They are still salty about Dota.MS has a new AOE coming out. I can see why the did what they did.

Do you understand that a texture pack would be placing new textures on the old models, which quite obviously wasn’t done? They created entirely new models and placed the new textures on the new models.
Lol dude disingenuous much? This is like arguing that you saw a trailer for John Wick 4, went to watch the movie, and it was actually a postman pat movie and going "Yup definitely what I expected!"
They didn't take it down, they applied this version as a patch on the old game.
Compare how Blizzard handled this to the way MS handled AOE2. You can still buy the HD version of AOE2 if you want to. But the DE version looks great (pulls off the "it looks like the game you remembered in your head" thing), has really smart and desired improvements and fixes, all the old content (polished up a bit), and some new content. It's just a brilliant package that fans took to immediately. It's the polar opposite of what this is.
Of WC3? Scroll up to my post on this page if you still have your keys, but not your CDs. I think official online is just gone for the old client.Does that mean I can’t play my original copy?
