    The game is not what Blizzard entertainments promised, just that simple, in other words, it is a fraud, and that is the reason that it must be rated by zero.

    Complete trash disconnects every other vs. Game. Spend 45 mins playing to win only to disconnect a few minutes before you do. It was broken still in the beta why was it released? I would have preferred waiting to wasting time.

    How can a remake be this bad?
    I mean, warcraft 3 was a big game 'cause of the map creation options, don't letting the game get bored even after long periods of time, but... Why the mode creation feature get this "nerfed"?
    Omg blizzard, grow up.

    What a money machine company Blizzard has turned into. May they die with this piece of trash. May they please take WOW with them aswell. The whole game looks like a Chinese franchise.
    Warcraft 3 from 2002 was a materpiece ahead of it's time..BLizzard has been ruined since 2012. What a joke.

However, as can be seen, the game pretty much fails at even tying it's shoelaces before it stumbles out the door straight into a dog **** in front of all the other kids waiting for you to get into the Magic School Bus.
    It's like the little brother looking at it's elder sibling's achievements and using said achievements to garner a reputation among the friends of the family but everyone realizes the whole schtick of the little tyke is akin to a fungus taking over the mind of an ant and ending a mockery of the being it once was.

    This extends to a lot of things, mostly the gameplay. The gameplay has mostly been kept in the same state it always was, no need to stray from the formula on that front. That being said, there's been tons of things that were unsalvageable during the delivery of this miscarriage of a game, mainly being various previous features being cut like clans, automated tournaments, chat room commands are broken, host bots got snapped, many servers were killed off and filtering regions is now a no-show. The game also crashes several times and various matchmaking issues
    exist, such as NO LADDER SUPPORT. No ladder support on a game that was popular because of that very thing, alongside custom maps that are now practically owned by Blizzard rather than you, and Blizzard gets to take all the credit too.

    The menus are very haphazard and unoptimized compared to the original, the free time HTML project of Chromium extended into an entire game menu rather than the placeholder experimental platform that it most likely originally represented. In the original the menus were very quick to do what they were supposed to do except in the rare instances where the game had to load a bunch of map info like in custom game selection or custom campaigns (WHICH REFORGED LACKS SUPPORT FOR!) while Reforged takes a second after pressing a button to even start moving, like you're connecting to a new website with every button press.
    Speaking of new, the game's changes to the storyline and cinematics, while not significant overall, very much annoyed an old-timer like me. It's not that I did not want any changes, far from it, the stuff they showed at Blizzcon in 2018 were brilliant looking and I very much enjoyed the new Arthas VS Illidan cinematic (I know there are some who didn't like it and I agree in some parts, it felt rather slow at points). It's just the changes that were made were so arbitrary and senseless as to seem like they were made just to be hip with the kids, not to mention help drive toy sales because MARKETING! And then there's stuff like Grommash Hellscream's name, originally being shortened to Grom by everyone except Mannoroth, being replaced in the audio files with a very abrupt "Hellscream" rather than the original line being left alone or maybe having his full name used occasionally. Get off his case dammit, the guy already doomed his entire race and owns up to it by the end of the original Reign of Chaos campaign, dropping his favourite nickname is like CJ getting called a busta. Especially by the one he calls "little brother". And to further elaborate on the abrupt part earlier, the voice lines were very visibly changed, as if it was a 5 minute hackjob in Audacity by the new intern with the buck tooth. At least Grom looks better than ever, which brings up my next point.

    The models, ironically the part that Blizzard did not make, were (And are) the strongest point of the release in the first place. However, even those are lacking in various areas, like previous attack animations either not correctly made or just missing entirely. In some areas they were not even utilized at all despite existing in the World Editor, it's like they ran out of time. What the **** were Blizzard doing the entire time, having a mini golf contest using solid gold golf-balls provided so generously by Daddy Activision while the sweatshop workers of Lemon Sky Studios got whipped in the building 5 blocks over so as to not ruin the view of the corporate overlords?

    Speaking of Activision, the PR surrounding the game has been absolutely awful, thanks in no small part to the decision to fire 800+ employees, most of them being from the PR department, so they've pretty much ended up saying what is exactly on the minds of the higher-ups about any setbacks. In the end, any positives Reforged has exist mainly because of the original, which now no longer exists due to the mandatory merged clients. Todd Howard, you're a bad man for making the "Broke Launch, Fix Later" culture that seems to be a constant in today's entertainment media. Oh and Kotick? your corporate wank dollars are in the mailbox, please report to the shareholders meeting in 30 minutes. And yes, you're still obligated to wear the latex suit, ball gag and collar, you know how they like that.    … Expand

This is cheating their customer, and they also force all people who previously owned the old warcraft 3 have to switch it to boost the sales. it is totally false advertisement to the customer.

I decided to get back into it but it wouldn't let me play on both the classic and new launcher, so I made a support ticket.

    Support ticket transcript:

    Me:

    I had classic Warcraft 3 for a long time but I'm having trouble starting it now. I haven't touched it for some time, so I assume the forced Reforged update broke it as it did for others.

    Running "Warcraft IIIFrozen Throne.exe" and "Warcraft IIIWar3.exe" gives me:
      "The code execution cannot proceed because mss32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

    Reforged WC3, after attempting to log in:
      "There was an error in handling the request."

    I don't know how to reinstall the classic version, because I don't have the CD key anymore. Though I really just want to play classic Warcraft 3, the one I had already installed on my hard drive for years, instead of Reforged.

    Blizzard: [bot response]

    Me: [irrelevant tech-related messages]

    Blizzard:

    Hey there, ██,

    Thank you for bearing with us while we investigated this problem for you. Tech Specialist Logan, here. Looks like the initial response didn't help you out, so sorry about that. To try to get to more complex issues like this more quickly, we have some basic steps sending automatically to players based on the queue that they submit their tickets in. Now that I've got your ticket, let's give it a look.

    I can entirely see what's going on here, and unfortunately there's not really a lot that can be done in this particular scenario since you don't have the license anymore. If you can find the CD key you can reinstall things with the CD, but the only supported game client is now Warcraft: Reforged. This is because this update is also the most Because of that, if you'd like to play you either need to find the old CD or purchase Reforged, which will let you play the modern version of the game with online features, etc.

    I sincerely hope that this experience with Blizzard Entertainment has been informative, if not helpful. If you need help with anything else, please feel free to reach out and let us know.

    Me:

    So I got robbed then? I can't play the game I had installed already for years because Blizzard pushed an update I never wanted? I can't even play with the new client, the game was literally just taken from me. I don't have the CD anymore. Why should I have to buy it again? This is ridiculous.

    Blizzard:

    Greetings ██,

    Gamemaster Gronnfindel here, thanks for the response! Unfortunately the only way to play Warcraft III now would be to add a Reign of Chaos CD key to your Battle.net account if you can still find it or to purchase Warcraft III: Reforged. I understand that you were able to play the game without the CD key in the past, but unless you have a Reign of Chaos or Reforged game license on your Battle.net account it is no longer possible to play Warcraft III.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news again, I hope you still have a nice day!

    Regards,

    Gamemaster Gronnfindel
    Gamemaster Team
    Blizzard Entertainment Europe

    So I have to rebuy the game I already bought, installed, and played for years just because they decided to force some dumb 30GB "reforge" I couldn't use anyway, and never bought nor wanted since before it released. WTF. They literally just pushed an update, then stopped me from playing both versions. The launcher recognizes I have the game, it knew I did enough to force the Reforged update, but apparently they don't, and won't let me play unless I buy it again or get the CD I don't have, even though I installed it years ago and was able to play it for years. I'm not giving them any more of my money. I would literally have to pirate it so I could play the game I legitimately bought. It's not good business practice to stop people from playing an already bought and installed game. This has to be violating some law. I literally got robbed.    … Expand

    Graphics are barely beefed up, nothing like the concept trailers and art, I might have forgiven some of that with one of my favorite games, but I'd rather just play the original. You do not get to own mods, if someone makes a mod for your game and it gets really popular (DOTA) and you don't capitalize on making your own game (LoL, DOTA2) you don't get to go back and steal other people's work.

If I look at the game without comparison and pretend I don't have the original then coming in as a new player I would expect to give this a 4 and that's only for the story. The gameplay in this day and age is below expectations and there is just too much missing from this.

    Activision Blizzard is a breeze.
    Blizzard as we know it is officially dead and gone. Sadly. Congratulations Activision, all that you touch you kill. How we come to this ? Arthas father words are so true. No king lives forever my son.

In the case of the HKPF, the regime explicitly prioritises ethical "flexibility" and blind obedience to directives.[13]

    Police brutality has played a significant role in fuelling public anger and driving the protests; the position of both sides became more entrenched as the protests escalated.[15][16] Hongkongers' initial shock at the release of 150 canisters of tear gas by the police and their use of batons contributed to 2 million people rallying on 16 June.[15] Since then, water cannons laced with blue dye and other skin irritants, projectiles such as beanbags, rubber and sponge-tipped bullets, pepper spray; baton charges and mass arrests became common.[15] In the six months since the protests began, police have fired 16,000 rounds of tear gas, 10,000 rubber bullets, and some 2,000 rounds of bean bags and 2,000 rounds of sponge bullets.[17] Gangs of suspected triads have also attacked demonstrators, with little or no apparent reaction from police, has fuelled belief of criminal collusion.[18][19] Armed with rudimentary protection and facing-off against well-armed police, protesters have thrown rocks, bricks, and Molotov cocktails; used poles, street barricades and slingshots for fighting; vandalised businesses symbolising oppression from the authoritarian PRC regime, and targeted metro stations because of its operator's complicity with police in restricting people's freedom to protest.[15]

    By the end of 2019, more than 6,000 protesters have been arrested; 2,600 people have been treated at public hospital emergency wards.[17] Although police reinstated an officer who drove his motorcycle into a crowd of protesters after a brief suspension in November,[20] numerous other instances of police brutality that have been perpetrated and filmed, not a single officer has been suspended from duty, and none has been charged or prosecuted over protest-related actions.[16] On the other hand, a senior part-time officer was suspended from duty over allegedly leaking operational plans for New Year’s Eve to a Telegram group.[21]    … Expand

    After all the delays, one would have expected that Blizzard would at least take the time to polish it but in the end, Blizzard essentially sold this game with a fraudulent marketing campaign and did not deliver content that was advertised. Combine this with anti-consumer practices when it comes to custom maps, this game is a hard no-buy.

    On top of that, you can't even play the old working version of the game because you are forced to use the new client.

    The game isn't optimized properly, the lighting on the models looks really off, and the overall feel just misses the mark when trying to improve on the original Warcraft feel.

    This game is a huge disappointment by Blizzard and I have lost all faith in what used to be my favorite game company.

    I've been trying to figure out why the main menu performance on Warcraft 3 Reforged is so bad.

    It ends up the whole main menu is a web app running on Chrome. This thing runs worse than the actual game (likely because it's pegging an entire core of my CPU.)

    Blizzard has addressed some of the complaints and criticism hurled its way, and has promised to work on many of these issues. Naturally, one must ask why the game was released in such a state, especially considering the negative attention the company has garnered over the past year with the reveal of Diablo Immortal and the Blizzard/China controversy.

    In the end it’s worth noting that when viewing a remake or remaster what needs to be taken into consideration is the source material, how it looks, feels, and plays. That is, in addition to the work carried out to recreate moments, update visuals, and change any of the presentation. To do otherwise would be silly, a terrible game with a wonderful remaster doesn’t warrant a high score. In the case of Warcraft III, the inverse to that is also true. So, what we end up with is something in-between. A classic reborn, in a package that doesn’t warrant all that much in the way of celebration.
