I've been playing through the campaign and some 1v1 multiplayer and I noticed a couple things that the terrible reviews haven't mentioned 1) They launched this game with no ranked matchmaking lol. I'm either getting busted by a blademaster in the first 60 seconds or I'm building my 2nd expansion while an announcement pops up that my opponent's level 1 hero has died to creeps 2) If you use cheats in the campaign you can still unlock all of the portraits zug zug

Dr Christmas posted:I didn’t buy the remaster, and I never got into multiplayer, but the siren’s song of unlockable portraits and checklists has gotten me to revisit the campaign. I completed a few human missions and the tutorial so far, but the checklist on the collection screen isn’t showing those specific missions like it does for the achievements in other Blizzard games. Is this intentional? I also don’t seem to have the three demo missions, which are required for one of the portraits, that IIRC were in the custom campaign tab? Nothing is in there now. If I understand what you're asking the checks work in reforged

Another dumb thing I noticed. At the end of each campaign mission you get the Continue Quit Campaign button menu. They both lead to the exact same score screen.

Question for people that have been playing SC2 or WCIII not reforged: When you play a matchmaking game as Random race and you get a win, does it count as a win toward just random portrait unlocks or also a win for the race you played? I could have sworn you used to get credit towards both but it's been years since I played either.

ErrEff posted:This is several pages back now but I really want to comment on it. The original just looks better: In the original version there was something very satisfying about about felling a big chonky tree. It was more like a board game piece which I think is appropriate. The new ones look awful and the bare patches look like a budget cut came down as the model artist was 80% done

A nice fix would be a chime or something when the match actually starts. Right now there is just a horn fanfare for when the lobby is ready. It often takes 1-2 minutes of silent and static load screen as the last player's pentium pc chugs along. When the game actually starts you might get some low ambient sounds but at least with the night elf soundtrack it's starts so silent you won't know if you're alt tabbed out. Even a loading bar for each player would be nice so we can see when we're getting close.

Frustrated posted:Also, I tried to play some last night with a friend. Basically all of the Battle.net 2.0 features are broken. My friends list was empty and all that showed up were a bunch of empty black boxes with no functionality. My friend and I had to join a custom channel to see each other and join a party. It's unbelievable how garbage this is from every angle. How about automatically dumping you in General Chat window takes up an uncollapsable quarter of the screen when navigating menus. It overlaps and obscures much of the campaign menu. I also received a few hard r nwords in game which I was surprised about (the lack of filter, not the lack of bigots)

I just slaughtered my ally's hero on accident. Korean text doesn't show up in game when you hover your mouse over a unit, which is usually how I double check bad guys in a skirmish, because their text shows up red. His showed up as blank and based on his positioning and movement it looked like he was fleeing me and then I thought it was funny how he wasnt attacking me. If I get banned for griefing that will be the icing on the shitcake that is reforged

danjal posted:Have they gone and fixed any of the issues with the re-release? Reforged multiplayer is significantly improved with the color adjustment but it's still hard to tell what's what and there's NO OFFICIAL LADDER LOL BlazetheInferno posted:I think they finally re-enabled offline singleplayer, at least. So there's that. Or rather, single-player without having to do it as a multiplayer lobby. I found a funny bug yesterday. I created a custom game under single player mode then tried adding my friend so we could play a warmup against computers. The option is there to add friends but it just sent him immediate "failed to join game" messages over and over. Had to go to custom games through the regular menu and that worked just fine.

Very thoughtful of them to keep the bug where replays double display your own chat messages e: also you can't reverse playback or skip backwards. You have to reload the replay The Wiggly Wizard fucked around with this message at 01:14 on May 20, 2020 |

Now that it's in color, it's running like it did post-ruination-patch but on my old (6-year-old computer). Maybe change your settings to 256 colors

chaosapiant posted:So what's the current state of affairs with WC3 Reforged? I loved the original and am thinking of picking it up. I understand it's super underwhelming compared to what was promised, but all I want is the original game sharpened up a bit and otherwise left alone. Is it that, or is it a supremely broken version of a game that was already fixed? There's nothing redeeming about Reforged so far but they added native widescreen to WCIII in 2018 so if you haven't played in a while just patch or like me buy Reforged and only play classic settings.

Big Mad Drongo posted:Every post-Warcraft 3 Blizzard game suffers from too much writing. Their stories are fine in dribs and drabs, but no one in the company has the chops to write a plot that serves as more than a framing device of "this is why these groups are fighting." Trying to think of a good blizzard character or story that isn't corny or overwrought. Maybe the "it's a zergling, Lester" cutscene. I honestly can't believe people like anything about WCIII story or care about retconning. TFT is even worse.

Anakin's fall is actually pretty well-written - he makes a series of mistakes and bad decisions because he's an inexperienced jedi doing real work for the first time. He gets frustrated by his little war not turning out to be an adventure full of glory where all of the bad guys are smote and nobody dies, so he quickly starts to crack under the pressure instead of accepting that "the best job" does not necessarily equate "a perfect result". Overall, his descent is a pretty believable transition from "the means justify the ends" to "the ends justify the means".

There's no disincentive for dropping out so people derank, peace out when the load time is too long, or avoid matchups with players they dislike.

One of the most common is creeping with your ancient of war early on to get fast XP and good items. You need it uprooted because it's tanking and it can eat trees to help heal. You can wall off and uproot an ancient if you need to move past the wall You can eat a tree to heal or clear a path. Ancient Protectors sneak attack, hidden tree of life in attrition game. Uprooting changes armor type which can make an ancient more resilient vs siege Taking a new base after you deplete a goldmine is a good strategy and happens often in late games especially if everyone is low on funds

I recently had a nice game where a guy with a special character name continuously spammed the n-word so thickly the game wasn't visible and everyone had to leave because they couldn't figure out how to mute him Unsurprisingly I wound up playing him more later in the week. Despite, I assume, everyone reporting him. Completely unrelated, WC3's twitter hasn't updated since April 2020. https://twitter.com/Warcraft3/status/1255545020582518785 No ladder, no cooldown for leaving, no AFK detection, apparently no reprisal for team killing or abuse. Dead game. I'm installing W3 Champions as we speak but I wish they would support the regular game even the slightest bit

uniball posted:totally agreed that reforged hosed up a ton of stuff in amazing ways, but worth noting that for years before reforged you could not play 3s or 4s AT. it was not possible due to a tiny playerbase and a queue system that basically discouraged searching, and then for a while before reforged they actually fully broke AT serverside. FWIW they seem to have solved the desync issues at least
