    Simply a joke. A disgrace to all gamers. So many years for 0 features but more bugs. Blizzard isn't Blizzard any more.

    A shame to see a classic put to the grave by corporate greed, I safely think we can expect another apology from blizzard. Sad thing.

    This is a travesty, not even half of what was promised, buggy, connection issues, morally reprehensible terms of service, **** over owners of original game by linking old game to new dysfunctional system, outright criminal advertisement and refund practices... the list goes on... may the blizzard we knew and loved rest in peace for a parasitic tumor has taken its's place.

    This 'game' reached into my computer and destroyed my existing installation of classic Warcraft 3. All of the custom campaigns I've carefully shepherded over the last 15+ years? Unplayable. The option's gone.

    I have uninstalled all Blizzard products.

    I would recommend to just play the original, but Blizzard won't even let you do that.

    Classic Warcraft 3 has been removed, therefore this game gets a 0. Blizzard, W3 was the childhood game for so many people and you ruined it to a point of no return.
    Lies and deception considering the 2018 Blizzcon gameplay.

    We are living in the "dark ages" of gaming, more and more game publishers are getting more greedy and only care about their shareholders instead of the quality of their games and their costumers. Where is the common sense that happy customers lead to loyal customers ?

    The refund policy just shows that Blizzard is aware of the horrendous state of this game and prepared themselves to keep as much money as possible: try to sell, what should be an update of a game, and let customers waive their right for refund when they buy,install or open the game.

    The customer support perfectly translates the soul of Blizzard: cold and distant

    The old Blizzard we knew is gone....    … Expand

    WC3 became a legend with the custom games, DOTA and Tower defenses was made through that tool, now blizzard tries to own all ideas gamers make made through their tool, like if Photoshop/paint tried to own all paintings made by their drawing tools.

    No new UI (as seen on BlizzCon Demo)
    No re-imagined cut-scenes (as seen on BlizzCon Demo)
    Instead a broken game

    No new visuals?

    Visuals are updated, yes - but... how could this mess ever pass any
    quality check? I mean, the models are looking ok-ish (more polygons
    and more - realistic- textures than the original ones) BUT the ground and
    environment did not get this treatment. It basically looks cartoon-ish (and
    even less details and worse than the original)and this makes the new models look just "off".

    The mix of two different "art styles" does not work (not even a bit)
    or look any pleasant nor professional...

    Sure thing - visuals are subjective, but most persons can tell, that
    there is something "wrong" with how it looks (overall)

    Destroying gameplay features for the WC3 veterans, that maybe not
    even wanted this "remake/remaster" does not help this release as well.

    Then there is the new EULA for folks, who want to do their own maps and mods
    with the editor - so Blizz can make sure, they own any rights for the content, that others
    are going to create with their editor. I mean it is their "product" and they
    have all the rights to do such things.

    So when you going to make the next "DOTA" or "Tower defense" mod, they can make sure, they
    will own the intellectual property of this! "Let the community do our work and we just show up
    to earn money from their efforts, if they start a new game-trend!" Nice (di#k) move guys!

    Then there is/was that argument "but the community wanted everything as close to the original
    as possible" - so no new missions, cut scenes, story changes and so on...

    This is absolutely ok, I say!

    For this "no-change people", they could just have implemented a switch "reforged/classic version"
    and everybody would have been happy...

    Oh wait! This switch actually exists !!! Hhhhmmm, let´s see....

    So it was just laziness, cutting on costs and/or manpower and then hide it under
    the "community wanted it cloak"?

    Well to be honest - if a company you trusted for a long time (like about 15 years)
    releases such a "product" (after showing a demo, everybody liked and was hyped for)
    you would get confidence, that this was on purpose and all planned. They´ve found an
    excuse and rolled this "product" out to the customers...

    Normally, any Art director would have slapped such a "product" in the faces of it´s makers stating "Jesus! Are you kidding me?" - "If this is your best, you´re fired!" What I took for a surprisingly, nice fan service from Blizz to their community (maybe to make up a bit for some of the mistakes and crap they did 2018-2019) turns out to be a straight ripp-off. I wanted to show my appreciation for making WC3 Reforged and pre-ordered "blindly" - because it can´t go wrong, after seeing the BC 2018 demo, right? And in the end, it´s Blizz and it´s one of their own products, they do a remaster remix, reforge, whatever.., right? Oh - they delayed it (by just a month) - absolutely no reason for me, to cancel my pre-order. I would have waited to Dec 2021 if this is, how long it would take them to come up with something half-decent at least. But no wrong again! "We just need another month to polish" they said! - and the outcome is this mess, the Internet rants about like crazy! - That´s hilarious as fyck, when you think about it. I still can not believe this... and worst thing is, no statement from Blizz after 2 days. I mean - do they even care? No? I think not! THIS worries me the most!    … Expand

I am finally done with Blizzard after being a fan since Lost Vikings and owning every game and paying a WoW subscription for 15 years. I was hyped about Diablo 4 announcement but now I am absolutely convinced it will be another lie and a piece of crap. And you know what's the worst part about Warcraft 3 Reforged? It forced the new bnet system over the old one so we can't enjoy the original either. If you want to play a good version of Warcraft 3 you need to dust off your old CDs or get the pirated version and stay away from bnet, especially if you want to play custom maps made by players. By the way, new EULA states that every map from now on is Blizzard property, so good luck having fans create new maps, you bastards!… Expand

    - No new UI
    - No new cutscenes (just the old ones rescaled)
    - Lots of old features missing
    - Плевок в лицо фанатам.
    - Ложные обещания.
    - Ложная рекламная компания.
    - Плохая оптимизация.
    - Баги.

    If this game was even close to what they promised back in 2018 then it would have been 10/10. A prime example is this page [link omitted] there official site and most of it is still things that they promised originally but never released with the game or where cut from production but this was said in interviews to other sites. This has me worried for the Shadowlands pre order and even Diablo 4

I can't believe I just handed Blizzard $30.00 for a graphics update. Shame on you, Blizzard.    … Expand

    The last time I was so disappointed for anything related to a videogame was with the diablo3 release.
    This is so wrong I don't know where to begin.

    Reforged could have been an incredible opportunity to revive a masterpiece, for both the single and multiplayer. At least they did not retcon the story, and I got my refund lol.

    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.
