    Love this game. Great memories. But what Blizzard does, broken promises, taking rights from people who wants to create content. Banning people who wants a refund. I don't understand how is this possible that during 2018 Blizz they showed remastered movies from W3 and now it is not in the game. You had ready product, just make it better not worse.

    Why would you remove old classic warcraft 3 battlenet and force people to buy new game?

    Campaing is almost the same just new textures and nothing much more.

    Custom games are more likley to crash in comparison in classic.

    “Though we’ve been working hard to get Reforged in your hands before the end of the year, as we started approaching the finish line, we felt we’d need a little extra development time for finishing touches. As always, our goal is to honor the high standards you hold us to.”

    BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM is that this game is not working, this is not even BETA state, this plays like late ALPHA. Black screens, crashes, messed up sound for units, laggy interface, stuttering on a pc that can handle max out DOOM on 200fps...
    I dont want event to talk about new TOA for custom maps...
    This whole game is one, very poorly made, 30/40 dollars mod...

    As for the game itself, this is not just a disappointment. It's a travesty where Blizzard lied through the teeth through their trailers and gameplay footage which looks NOTHING like the final product. The bugs are prevalent, the graphics look more like a lazy remaster, the UI is almost worse with no significant improvements, the cutscenes haven't been enhanced and BLIZZARD ARE ACTUALLY BANNING PEOPLE WHO ARE POSTING WAYS TO GET REFUNDS.

    I actually thought Diablo: Immortal was as low as you can go. Blizzard, you surprised me. Your name is now synonymous with garbage. J. Allen Brack, let's see your apology, non-apology for this one.

    Even though blizzard betrayed us, the story is a must have for everyone who is/was a fan of the warcraft universe. The redesigned charctermodels are awesome. Playing the story of the fall of Archimond, Arthas becoming the LichKing or playing the tale of Illidan are still one of my favorite telling of all-time after the last of us.
    Im very sad that blizzard didn‘t hold what they promised.

    I'm a long time original Warcraft 3 player, but 2 days ago my 1.31 locally installed game was forcibly replaced by a Reforged version without a way to revert back. However, the classic mode in Reforged doesn't look or work like the original RoC and TFT at all. Plus my local installation suddenly blew up from 2gb to about 30gb.

However, the classic mode in Reforged doesn't look or work like the original RoC and TFT at all. Plus my local installation suddenly blew up from 2gb to about 30gb.
    I never asked for this game, never needed it yet it was forced on me, it automatically removed a game that I had installed locally and did so without even giving me an option to opt-out from the "upgrade".
    Now it's apparently impossible to play the original RoC and TFT games short of installing from a 17 years old CD and not installing any patches at all or running the Battle.net launcher, otherwise the game again being auto replaced by Reforged.
    Blizzard literally took away a game from, a game I bought many years ago and was playing since. And the "Reforged" replacement doesn't look the same, doesn't work the same. Lack the features we've enjoyed for 17 years. This is just absurd, they've taken a really old game and instead of making it better, made it worse in every possible way.

    When i was a child I grew up with titles like Diablo 2, Starcraft 1 Broodwar and Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos / TFT. To be clear i think thre are 3 majors reason to play this game back in the days, the campain, the ladder and customs maps(my personnal favorite).

    So as they announced W3Reforged i was excited especially after WoW Classic (sure le log-in what a mess at start but the soul of the game is still here).

    I was waiting this game like the messiah, the redefinition of what use to be a standard, not a hd package worth 30€, a real reinterpretation of the game, like rework cinematics for instance, new campain missions which focus on some of the characters like Jaina, new interface, rework cutscenes. None of this is actually present in the game. As many have said on Reddit, Blizzard forums and such, we even losed features, what a mess.

    -Game breaking bugs, with the insta-defeat upon finishing a cinematic
    -No Ladder
    -No clans
    -No profile
    -No dynamic camera cutscenes , just the old speech tab with a distant point of view
    -No UI Improvment, the ui take a third of the screen, and this get worst when you have all the speech/hint/quest text above all of it
    -Hd textures are awful, this is my perspective by the way
    -Extreme lagging and freezes on some map zones
    -Burning structures flickers when they are in fog of war (great for epileptics i guess)
    -Bad localisation, and mos important i as download 2 languages packages sometimes they mixed up and i have both french and english text when mouseovering on units...
    -Annoying sound bugs, like the murlocs death's sound animation triggering 15 times in a row, when you walk into water my ears started bleeding, but nevermind sometimes there is no music at all or your unit will stop talking.
    -Mini map is ugly and messy, again personnal point of view
    -Old unit selection limit, which would have been a improvement overall
    -New custom map economy model, which by the way destroys a third of the game, no Dota or things like that
    -No additional missions on strong wow characters as promised
    -unability to create a custom game, this bug is really frustrating you hit tha button "create" but nothing happens not even a text message in the chat
    -Forced jump to the W3Reforged files even if you only own W3TFT, with all the "Improvements" above, thank you actiblizz
    -Forgive me if i am wrong but i've not seen the rexxar narative arc

    But there is one thing that gives me headaches and i don"t see mentionned so often, the pathfinding.

    This is the worst i have seen in a long time, and for me this is a true nightmare. As far as know and upon testing multiple time your units will try to stand in the positions like the pattern in the bottom right corner of the map. But the actual game cannot handle different unit speed variations, so you end up with a unit split.

    For exampe, on the mission when you have to protect the kodos when playing orcs, thrall was standing still rotating himself before even considering to move 3 sec later same for the back units around him, to me that means that the game could not handle a simple order as "move" correctly, this is a big problem for a RTS, same goes for big units as the meat wagons which sometimes decide to not pass trought 2 buoldings when you select plenty of them, you have to drag them 1 by 1, it's a shame.

    I'll not talk about the ban problem occuring at the moment, I have no clue why they were banned for, but if this is true then actiblizz is like the china's goverment which is ironic in a way.

    For players comming from WoW this will not be a good experience, the story is pretty much the same and certain gaps still remain unfullfilled.

    For players discovering this world, it will not be good either, the game is still full of bugs and the clunkyness of it will tear you appart, try the original version first this game was a blast

    For players comming from the original game, oh boy, it will be heartbreakin lads.

    The most controversial point is probably the "remelted" ugly cinematics, the intro one has been redone you can clearly see it, but the others are just upsclale.

    I will finish on this, take Mannoroth for instance, the new model is awful certainly but he was reworked, in the cinematic when he appears nope, the same goes for Archimonde by the way, leading me to say that if there is no bridges between thoses you can clearly feel that the game has been rushed and actually in his launch state remains unfinished, even if they delayed the release by 1 month to polish it, laughtable.

    I would have love this game, really, but right now i can not recommand this pile of junk to anyone what a shame,, blizzard is digging his own grave since they merged with activision, the coffin is ready, Diablo immortal/BFA/FreeHongKong/W3R are your nails, and I as a gamer cannot agree with your vision any longer.

    False advertising all the way!
    Don't buy this game! please! this is just a cashgrab from Blizzards part!
    they are not even going to think of giving you any refund even if you don't even open the game! they call each purchase "FINAL!" they also now OWN anything YOU make in costum games. (can't let a game like LOL or DOTA get made again and let it slip from their corporate fingers

    The visuals are somewhat upgraded. but yikes, the Advertisement video for The Culling Of Stratholm is a lie, They are using the old ways, and the characters are still just opening their jaws and closing them as if they were talking.... all cut-scenes played just as they did in WC3.

    It's just a huge downgrade from the original, with multiplayer barely works (if at all), instant defeat from campaign and lots of broken promises.

    Dear Blizzard,

    I am crying.

    I already heard about the bad launch of Reforged, but only today have I looked at the fallout.

    I have not shed a single tear since my dear grandfather passed away many years ago, but what I saw today left me in tears.

    Warcraft III was a game that means a lot to me. It has accompanied my through all phases of life in the past 17 years. I remember seeing a friend play that game, so I convinced my parents to buy a PC so I could also play that game. I remember the countless hours of fun I had during the campaign. I remember my classmate declaring that there will never be a Warcraft IV, because the third is already so amazing that Blizzard could never surpass it.

    I remember when patch 1.21 hit and you no longer needed a CD to play the game. It was incredible. I felt never so proud to be a Blizzard fan. "They removed the DRM". In a time when DRM was not even a thing. It opened worlds.

    I remember sneaking into the PC lab at school to play Extreme Candy Wars 2004 with my classmates. I remember all the LAN parties we had playing Skibis Tower defense. All just because you made the game more accessible. At least 3 of my friends bought the game, because they saw during out LAN parties how much fun it is. It started the tradition of us meeting every year for my birthday to have a Warcraft III LAN that lasts to this very day.

    I remember the big chaos that came with the 1.24 patch that removed the return bug. I remember spending night after night in the world editor, trying to fix old abandoned maps that didn't work anymore. But it was worth it.

    I remember the hundreds of hours playing DotA via Garena and joking with my friends how a lobby took forever to fill up, but hosting "Island of Erotic Pleasures" would be filled in seconds.

    I remember playing YouTD during boring lectures at university. A path I only took because the World Editor woke my passion for programming. I remember proudly showing off my first programming I did in the World Editor to my mom and the countless hours I spent at the Hive forums looking at Damage Detection Systems for my map. I am a professional software developer now, and would not be in this position without this game.

    I remember when I could proudly proclaim to be a Blizzard fan.

    Today I feel like I lost an old friend.

    Could it be better? Yes, I would of course expect every cinematic to be remade like the intro one, but as story goes, it's mostly ingame anyways. And we all should know how long a proper CGI cinematic work and effort takes, if you don't a lot! It would double the price and amount of time we had to wait.

    So, personally I would just lower my 2 points from that and maybe some lack of details like weather and atmosphere effects in 3D engine and interface resizing.

    But that's really all I can think about and these kind of small negatives surely don't make it a 1 or 0 at all. Not allowing custom maps to be owned by their makers is also very understandable, Blizzard just does not want another DotA incident that will create another DotA 2 and LoL.

    For me this is not what they promised. It is hard to launch the game and if you will be lucky it is lagging or crashing.

    Also after removing it you cannot play in old (working) version of warcraft 3 which you bought.

    I asked for refund.
    I hope that at least they will fix issues with the old version if not I will ask for a refund this as well.

The Fall of Silvermoon makes me really happy, cause it's start to make any sense right now. But one think make me really angry: units and buildings. The problem is not just a graphic details. It's readability. Undead units make me sick, i don't really know what happens in the map when play as or agaist of undead. And it's not problem with me, in classic mode i have no problem with that. Classic mode is... just classic, with it's own bugs, when play on classic mode and multiplayer, there's no any fps drop, but game can crashed in any moment like rolling dice.

    But still i play many worse games than this one. I believe many problems may be fixed. It's a good balanced game, but with many technical problems

    Everything was pretty clear that it was a cash grab from the start, it was explicit on their description of the campaign mode and the "new feature" which were inexistant.

    Beside this they still wanted to push the cash grab, and in the meantime, they even added a very user friendly policy for custom game. Well done blizzard, well done. Haven't been this disappointed by your company

    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.

    If you set your expectations a little lower, then Warcraft 3: Reforged is a game worth of your time and money. Sadly, for many of us out there, we were expecting a little more.
