The EULA poo poo is definitely because they are salty about not giving a poo poo about DotA until it became a loving monster.

Frustrated posted:If they had truly wanted to update and "reforge' the game they would have done it in the SC2/HotS engine and used a lot of the HotS assets and Warcraft map tiles they already made for that game. Then we could have also had a non garbage ui, functional multiplayer with a ranked system already baked in, and in game cut scenes that actually look good. The sc2 engine is great at doing cut scenes that would have fit the WC3 story really well. Except that would invalidate any and all Warcraft 3 custom maps and campaigns, and while people could just play them in Classic, a big part of the appeal of the remaster is being able to play the goofy customs you once played on Battle.net with shiny graphics.

I got into Digimon TD lately, which from what I understand is an off-shoot of Poker TD (that I haven't played). That one is a lot of fun, and there are still the old classics.

In this scenario, you can easily rebuild them since they won't have been entirely destroyed by Blizzard in the original game.

I have no idea how legit these pictures are, but 'big yikes', and kinda funny in a "you not have phones?" disaster kind of way. (maybe the same phone dev guy is doing CS now as part time?) A Blizzard's response to someone whose computer is too weak for Reforged.  Customer service, before they allowed instant refunds... (Did you not get a RTS game?)

Here's what really gets me, though. During the credits, after the incredibly lovely and phoned-in Power of the Horde music video, they start doing an art slideshow. Wow, those sure are some good looking Night Elves! But wait, what do they look like in-game, poses nonwithstanding?  Hm. And I know part of it is the screenshot being pre-rendered, so everything is touched up and arranged just so so that it looks as good as possible - I've done plenty of pre-rendered screenshots before. But it blows my loving mind that they didn't test these and say, hey, maybe we should add some pre-rendered shadows to the textures and maybe boost the contrast a bit so in-game stuff looks closer to the promo stuff we've released.

The Kins posted:Apparently he's listed in the "Blizzard Family" section of the credits, adrift in a sea of names. Presumably because's he's off doing HOTS or something and didn't touch this version. I don't buy that reasoning because 1) Morhaime and Metzen had effectively nothing to do with Reforged beyond their old work being re-used and got put on Special Thanks anyways 2) If "made use of old work" is enough to get on Special Thanks, then Didier should've gotten in by default because a lot of the old art displayed in the credits is his 3) There wouldn't be a Warcraft as we know it without Samwise Didier

So much for a ladder this week. Or tournaments ever (no one played... so you didn't want it? ignore that team play was made 3/4 of them unplayable for years). Seems like they might get matchmaking working eventually and some reforged graphic fixes and that'll be it. Maybe 1 or 2 classic shadows added.

1st_Panzer_Div. posted:So much for a ladder this week. The statement put out on Monday makes it sound like ladder is very far away. The "we'll update you on progress in the coming weeks" is Blizzard speech for we haven't even started working on it yet... Game will be dead again before there is any sort of real match making put in. This is more proof that Battle.net 2.0 is a dumpster fire and the developers don't want to put in the effort of dealing with it. SC2, SC:R, and now WC3:R have all shipped missing key multiplayer features.

Sure you could give Reforged a 7 if you think Warcraft 3 is a 7 or an 8, but then you'd be ignoring all the context, and in that case I'm not very impressed with your analysis

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/warcraft3/t/warcraft-iii-version-1321-patch-notes/19379 still no ranked but we're getting close to a functional product now that players are capable of doing things such as loading into a game, viewing the stats screen, an sending private messages. Hell, they even added fog of war. if i'm lucky i'll even manage to load into matchmaking games more than half the time now

My brother came over to use the internet and he let me play his install of War3. HOLY poo poo THERE'S SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT UNIT DEATH SOUNDS AND THAT'S WHAT TAKES UP AN EXTRA 28 GIGABYTES!!?? No changes in graphics or icons or terrain or effects, just marginally less cartoony unit death sounds. gently caress YOU, BLIZZARD!! Also 4v4 is hosed, it was only ever him and MAYBE 2 teammates vs a full team, all three times. Someone would either be afk or leave in the first 5 seconds. The gameplay is still good, though, I've missed this loving game.

the extra 28gb is from all of the reforged assets being included in the classic client regardless of whether you can use them because releasing two separate builds is an engineering/logistics challenge and that just doesn't align with blizzard company culture any more
