    That is what i call a scam, false advertisement.

    - "This is what you are gonna get, give us your money thank you"
    - "Oh wait you are not gonna get any of that, thanks for the money anyways"

    Warcraft III: Reforged didn't receive the love it deserved.
    One year of silence after the announce in 2018 and no communication with the player base.
    Not only the game is unpolished and ridden with bugs, it also lacks many of the original multiplayer features that always distinguished WC3.
    It's an utterly disappointment.

I have never wrote a review ever, having played the DEMO at blizzcon and then played the release demo I found myself so confused that stuff from the DEMO had been completely removed, yet it was still advertised.

    30 dollars for a 17 year old game, and these crooks couldn't even spend the week or two to update the 17 year old UI on the opening screen? let alone the UI in game. While the units look fresh and great up close, the limit graphics options leave the graphics fuzzy in the normal RTS view. At blizzcon I played the DEMO and the cutscenes were incredible, most of those have been cut. I would guess they did this to lessen the requirements on the systems, but with all the other missing stuff that was promised your guess is as good as mine. Its also concerning that key elements that were in the DEMO at blizzcon have been removed.

    I would like to say its a quick buck scheme, but i paid for this game 1 year and 3 months ago.. Yes they have had my money for 15 months nearly.    … Expand

    A downgraded version of the classic. You’ll get some new models in exchange for: confusing UI (with NO solo custom option, so forget testing your maps if not by running on WE), buggy gameplay, removal of the ranked ladder, unstable and makes your pc run so hot that you may even consider opening a new sauna in your town, and not to mention that they’ve killed classic and forced people whoA downgraded version of the classic.

    They’ve could just learned from AOE 2 HD/DE and deliver a fine product, but no, momma Blizzard (Activision coff coff*) just decided to milk her fanbase like cows by charging € 29,99 for an unfinished and unpolished mess of a “game”.    … Expand

    How is even legal to advertise the culling cutscene saying that is the quality of the cutscenes we will get and none of that are in the game. They had the opportunity to revive the RTS genre and failed miserably

    Very disappointed with the final game. They lied on how the game will look / function. Some rework this is...
    One word: Refund
    (If blizzard will let you refund the game)
    Critics are like: "Well the game is not what it was supposed to be.. but buy it." DON'T BUY IT. DON'T ENCOURAGE THIS FROM COMPANIES.

    The graphics havent improved by much. the destroyed the old game merging it with the new system so they is no going back from now. 16 years of mods and community work died with this release.

Instead, WC3 Reforged feels like a glorified mod pack with half measures taken at every corner, that falls drastically short of Blizzard's reputation of excellence built over decades. If you were anticipating a game that was "Reforged", as in rebuilt from the ground up, you were sorely misled, as many components remain virtually unchanged. Not to mention the countless errors and bugs tarnishing the entire experience. Classic players will feel a slap in the face with WC3 Reforged, as it appears Blizzard merely attempted to cash-in on the modern trend of nostalgic video game remakes (Crash Bandicoot, Final Fantasy VII, Ratchet & Clank, Resident Evil, Spyro, Zelda: A Link to the Past, etc., etc.). Classic players are now forced to download the roughly 30gb update and navigate through the subpar WC3 Reforged menu. This may very well be the release that kills Warcraft 3 for good and closes the window for a Warcraft 4. Shame on you Blizzard.… Expand

    Reforged is a forced downgrade for classic users

    Hello. I’ve been playing Warcraft 3 since 2004. I see a lot of people complaining about new graphics looking bad, lack of content, unfulfilled promises, post-launch bugs/crashes. However, I do not care about new graphics, campaigns, cinematics or Reforged as a whole. I just want to keep playing the game I played my entire life, the game    Reforged is a forced downgrade for classic users

    Hello. I’ve been playing Warcraft 3 since 2004. I see a lot of people complaining about new graphics looking bad, lack of content, unfulfilled promises, post-launch bugs/crashes. However, I do not care about new graphics, campaigns, cinematics or Reforged as a whole. I just want to keep playing the game I played my entire life, the game that was already perfect for me.
    But that is no longer possible. With the latest update, the old classic client is gone, it forces you to download the new Reforged client and play it using classic graphics, which cuts a lot of features that existed in previous versions.

    Features that were available yesterday and have been cut 12 hours ago:

    Cross-region play (the custom game list is no longer global and you can’t play with players from other realms, meaning it’s much harder to find players and fill game lobbies)
    Custom campaigns
    Clans
    Player profiles
    Ladder (ranked matchmaking, stats, automated tournaments)
    Good, battle.net 1.0 chat system (you can no longer use commands such as /f l, /join; information on how many players are currently playing; list of communal channels; battle.net news section; overall the chat system lost its’ soul)
    Beautiful UI/menus (in reforged client the menus feel sluggish and less optimised; the chat box overlaps the menus, atmospheric 3D campaign backgrounds are gone, etc.)
    Creative freedom in custom games (the WE EULA has been changed, adding a lot of limitations - everything you create now fully belongs to Blizzard, read more in other topics; censorship in maps and game names, for example a lobby called “booty bay” can not be hosted, even though it’s the name of an offical WC3 map, etc.)
    Classic graphics in Reforged client look worse (shadows are missing, saturation is off, some spells/effects are missing)
    RoC campaign is now using TFT balancing
    Features that were available before 2018 and have been cut during the latest updates:

    Arranged teams
    Reconnection via GProxy
    Overall game stability (desyncs or crashes would almost never happen, now custom games are plagued with both)
    Bot features (only going to list some of them):
    Online lobby list and in-game chat, available from a browser (what games are hosted right now, how many players are in a lobby, etc.)
    Competitive custom games (auto-balance and matchmaking based on ELO or empirical algorithms specialized for each custom map)
    Ability to kick/ban trolls (after the removal of bots they added the ban functionality, but you would have to re-ban the person every session)
    Better ping/latency
    Protection against hacks and maphacks
    Anti-spam protection
    Automatic replay saving and archiving with easy search from a website
    Game/replay archive
    Probably many more things that I can’t recall at this moment
    I know this wall of text is not going to achieve anything, this is more for myself - I had to get it off my chest and let people know what ActivisionBlizzard has truly done to our game.
    I just want to play the game I love.

    Blizzard actually removed features from the people that paid for Classic and TFT boxsets. Even if you didnt buy Reforged, you just lost access to cross-play, to player profiles, to animated backgrounds and many more things. Terrible.

    Столько надежд, столько обещаний, никогда такого не было и вот опять. Всё бы ничего, но от Blizzard такого не ожидаешь. Видимо, времена меняются.

    Я не могу поставить никакую оценку. Это тот самый момент, когда понимаешь, что дай мне 2 года и 2.000$, я найду команду энтузиастов и сделаю так же. А может и лучше. Это не игра и не ремастер, это плевок в лицо всем игрокам. Ошибка игровой индустрии.    … Expand

Some bugs are still exist a few month since the very begining of beta. I think somebody should be fired from the Blizzard. Sorry for my English. Not enough words to express my dissapointment

    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.
