I just plain don't think you can get investors on board to make an RTS at this point. If you're not generating extra revenue with microtransactions or gatcha games or whatever crap I just don't see it happening, no matter the pedigree.

You'd think selling skins in an RTS like WC3 would be a goldmine. Different skins for the various heroes, skins for the factions, etc. Hell if they go pay-to-win they could release paid heroes for each faction

Being realistic isn't as fun because we all know what WC4 will actually be is a cell phone game riddled with micro transactions, if it gets made at all

Different skins for the various heroes, skins for the factions, etc. I mean, many other people have tried - isn't Age of Empires IV out right now and decently succesful? It probably has skins too. I really have no idea what makes WC3/Broodwar feel so different than other games. Even Starcraft 2 felt bad and weak to me, even on release. It's super cool to watch ASL Broodwar in 2022. It would be awesome to see some $9.99 indie Steam game RTS modeled after the greats do really well... we've seen stranger things happen since the dawn of video games.

I actually prefer to play SC2 to BW but the latter is so much more fun to watch it's hilarious.

Ainsley McTree posted:Honestly I've tried playing wow and I can't make heads or tails of what the story of that game is supposed to be. I joined late and the game has no interest in telling me what the story of anything but the current expansion is, i guess you just need a wiki at this point The *real* problem is that the *important* story from each expansion really happened in the Patch Content, and the game is very bad at letting new players see that. You have to go out of your way to find any of it, and even then you probably need a guide to know what to do in what order to get a proper sequence of events.

Doctor Spaceman posted:WoW has Sylvanas' faction of free undead join the Orcs (and the rest of the Horde). It was an alliance out of practicality and shared dislike of the, umm, Alliance. This was pretty good back in vanilla wow. You would alwys find some random undead npc who was planning to poison members of the rest of the horde races, or gently caress with them in other ways

Is there a list anywhere of levels that are updated in the Reforged version to more accurate maps? I want to play through the game again and I want to see the changed maps, but I also don't want to use the new graphics except when necessary for that content. I know The Culling is, the Quel'thalas missions are, and that Necromancer Kel'thuzad has a new boss. Does the invasion of Dalaran in the Undead campaign get revamped? Is there anything else?

I wonder how many of the responses they get from that poll are just some variation on "stop driving your employees to suicide."

I want to play through the game again and I want to see the changed maps, but I also don't want to use the new graphics except when necessary for that content. Take note that the campaigns in Classic Graphics and Reforged Graphics are treated as separate campaigns by the game in terms of progress and inventory bank data and stuff like that. Of note, *most* of the maps in Reign of Chaos have seen some sort of adjustment (in particular, making Hard Mode actually exiist and being actually hard on a level comparable to the Frozen Throne hard mode), but in terms of actual terrain being changed for lore accuracy, it's just Stratholme, Silvermoon, and any missions involving Dalaran. As for Necromancer Kel'thuzad being a boss fight now, they made him a hero unit, and added some presentation to the various enemies in his area, but Kel'thuzad himself still doesn't really do anything special aside from use Death Pact if you try to ignore his units.

No switching back and forth? Well that sucks. Maybe I'll do RoC with reforged and TFT in classic mode then.

SirSamVimes posted:No switching back and forth? Well that sucks. Bear in mind that by "progress" I also refer to unlocking later levels and campaigns; you may have to speed through RoC on classic to unlock the TFT campaigns. They're not separated out into RoC or TFT anymore, they're just all in sequence. Just using the instant victory cheat does work though. Of note, Dalaran in the first few Blood Elf levels are also reterrained, but it's far less important there. Also, in a very rare instance of Reforged fixing something instead of breaking it, there's a trigger in the very last mission of TFT, A Symphony of Frost and Flame, that causes earthquakes that deal damage to all buildings owned by the enemy of whoever takes an Obelisk, every time (so all enemies' buildings take damage when you take one, all your buildings take damage whenever Illidan takes one). This trigger exists in the original map, but it was BROKEN. It's re-enabled in the Reforged version.

Since custom campaigns finally work again, an interesting one that fits rather well with the topic of this thread is Warcraft 3 Re-Reforged, an attempt to actually somewhat deliver on the promises made by Blizzard for the Reforged campaigns. Only the Orc prologue campaign and Scourge of Lordaeron are done as of yet, but they look quite well-made.

One of my favorite zep strats is using mortar teams to make holes in the enemy tree line behind the main, then assaulting them while protected by trees.
