    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.

    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”.

WC3 Reforged had the potential to be something special - to reignite the online community, both attracting new players and creating a revitalizing experience for returning players. 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

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.

В самой игре настройки для смены языка нет, нужно менять из лаунчера и докачивать еще 3Гб обновлений. Создать игру с ботом смог после 10 попытки. Когда матч запустился, обнаружил, что половина текстур отстуствует, освещение и цветокор режут глаза. Меню настроек рассыпается, чат в матче не работает. При попытке запустить кампанию выбросило в начальное меню с уведомлением о проигранном матче. Новая озвучка ужасна - актеры просто читают с листка, и явно не понимают, о чем они вообще говорят, актерской игры нет никакой.
    Более того, теперь недоступна классическая игра, а значит даже просто поиграть в старую версию не выйдет.
    Огромное число багов на квадратный сантиметр, куда не ткни - везде что-то сломано. Многие возможности классической версии зачем-то вырезаны, например кастомные кампании, синглплеер, игра по локальной сети, личные кабинеты, кланы, каналы чата, этот список можно еще долго продолжать.
    Наблюдал за тем, как проходит бета с мрачным пониманием того, что многое из обещанного близами сделано не будет, но не ожидал, что будет настолько плохо.

    This is an incomplete game. If you buy a house or a car you'd expect to have the basic features like windows and doors. Why is this so hyped and not punished is something beyond reasoning. If you expect to receive such crappy service in other aspects of life, then you have pretty **** expectations for how service should be done.
    Also new graphics are eye rending and distinguishing between units is close to impossible.

    Desperate money scheme. Superficial remaster and fake hype. This so called "renewal" of the game did not improve it in anyway and even more, it massacred the classic game just for you to buy the shiny looking asian graphics. Basically their idea was to force you buy Reforge by destroying the old, refined and finished product. No wonder why the score is negative.

    Warcraft 3, a game that basically made my childhood, a game that I could play for hours and hours on end and not have a care in the world.

    Reforged was something that immediately excited me, a remake of the original game? With better cutscenes, better graphics, improved ui, improved story and lore. It was going to be a game I'd have played again and again and again, instead of the remake we were shown, we got nothing more than a reskin, a remaster.
    New cutscenes? Scrapped.
    New UI? Scrapped.
    New Story and Lore to better tie into World of Warcraft? Scrapped.
    Campaign map redesign? Scrapped.

    All that this game is, is nothing more than a graphical "improvement" of the old game, it still has the exact same lazy cutscenes, the same voice acting, the exact same campaign, exact same campaign maps, everything is the exact same except for the models and enviroments.

    The ONLY good thing that this game did, was port over the Classic Warcraft 3 into the Battle.Net client and even that is a very luke warm thing indeed.

    To anybody saying "bUtT thEY diDnTT pRomISe a REEEmakE" look again back at the announcement, look as well to their official website for Warcraft 3. They clearly state and I quote
    "Warcraft III: Reforged is a complete REIMAGINING of a real-time strategy classic."
    So please, if you like this game then good for you enjoy this hollow experience, but stop licking the boot of a company that'll no sooner sell you off to some blackmarket slave ring if they'd be able to get more money from you there.

    What's really depressing here is the complete non-committal on Blizzard's behalf to fix the game. This is going to get buried as Blizzard's biggest failure to date. The era of Blizzard's high standards of gameplay and polish is officially over.

    To put it simply, the game is not what was promised or what has been shown off over the past 2 years. The only positive is that the models and textures are an improvement but even they are not consistent with their style due to many of them being outsourced.

    To put it simply, the game is not what was promised or what has been shown off over the past 2 years. The only positive is that the models and textures are an improvement but even they are not consistent with their style due to many of them being outsourced.
    The 'reforged cutscenes' that are still being advertised on the website are not in the game instead we have cutscenes that are almost identical to the original. The UI which also advertised as being new and improved is almost identical to the classic UI.
    The worst part, in my opinion, is that you can't just go back and play the original/classic Warcraft 3 anymore because it forces you to update to reforged whether you bought it or not. You have to download the full Reforged client which is a little under 30GB, a staggering increase over the original game which is under 5GB. And of course the people who don't purchase it don't have access to the new textures and models but are still forced to download them.
    There are no custom campaigns anymore and also many custom games are broken because of the forced update to the new reforged client, including all versions of Troll & Elves, which is probably my most played custom game. I bought Reforged for the custom games and many of the don't even work.
    Many players are also reporting that when going into the campaign of the game that they are getting an instant defeat screen.

    The game is nothing more than a HD remaster and Blizzard failed to even get that right. Save your money, do not buy this game, especially in its disgusting current state. I strongly believe that partway through development the funding was cut to the point that they barely managed to get the game out, even with a delay of about a month and a half.

Considering the fantastic job that Microsoft did with Age of Empires 2 I thought they may have emulated what they did. Instead they gave it a somewhat lackluster graphics upgrade and then removed useful features didn't add anything new and broke what was already working.

    So, one of the greatest games of all time gets outsourced reskin from some Malaysian studio, gets downgraded in terms of gameplay by actiblizzard and costs like a new game in 2020. Also actiblizzard does NOTHING that it promised at 2018 blizzcon, while bragging about "community" and how they cherish us, the fans.

    The question is: how many Fs does actiblizzard give about it's community?

    It's obvious with the horrible rating that Blizzard destroyed WC3 reforged.

    The worst part IMO is that they destroyed classic WC3 as well, forcing an update that downgrades a beloved game. Don't spend any more money on Blizzard guys, this is the only way to get the ones in charge (who know nothing about game development, what the gamers want, and don't uphold Blizzard original values) to act.

The graphics looked amazing, the cinematic re-shoots with better camera panning and more dynamic character animations. When they announced the December 2019 release date, I was very skeptical, but Blizzard had never failed to deliver within the "due by date" before.
    When the game was delayed, I was very disappointed, but I thought "you can't rush perfection". They even released the beta test for players to get into to recompense the delay. At this pointed I started to feel the doubt, I hadn't tried the beta, but I saw plenty of game-play from other people. The graphics were barely a step up from the classic client. The units may have looked smoother, but in the larger picture, every meshed together, and it didn't make that much of a difference especially with the flat surroundings and buildings. The game looked more like a really well done Fan-created mod, than that of a Triple A studio.
    The final nail in the coffin for me was the cinematic scenes for the actual campaign. There was no longer that personal touch that I had seen in 2018. There was an even worse punch in the guy when I saw a fan-made scene made by another Blizzard fan on youtube. Something he had done for free. It had more passion and creativity in that one video, than the entire game.

    Having people make content for your game and then you say it's yours because you dont want another DotA to happen.

    You sure gave the map creators the tools to make the maps but you sure didnt come up with them or make them in no way should you have the rights to it incase it becomes something bigger than just a custom map.

    在民法的领域里,固然非常重视「契约的签订」,
    但契约的签订必须是对等的。

    用专业术语来说,就是必须有「对价关系」。

    今天,你到外面替老板打工,打工前签订了工作契约,
    里面标明你在工作期间所撰写的、与工作领域有关的专利或著作,
    著作人格权与著作财产权归属公司或老板,
    而公司会给你薪水或奖金。

    只要法官认可给出来的奖金或薪水与你付出的心力相对等,
    那这个工作契约就会是合理的,法官可能就会认同。

    但,暴雪这次修改的使用者条款核心在于:「暴雪等于在白嫖玩家创作地图或游戏模式的营利」。

    玩家辛辛苦苦创作了新的地图,虽然工具用的是暴雪的地图编辑器没错,
    但,这不表示这份著作一切的劳动成果都是暴雪一方面的付出,玩家的付出就是零。

    否则,以后每个卖菜刀的商店,都宣称「我家刀剁过的东西,全部都属于我家的,不关用刀人的事」
    这世界还要运转吗?

    一堆玩家在指责暴雪这个条款时,就明明白白拿出了RPGMaker来做对照,
    RPGMaker就很明确说,他们所有的工具与素材都是一次性卖断的,
    玩家拿来做出来的东西,只要标注是用RPGMaker制作的就可以了。

    这世界上还有很多如CC创用等应用性的著作权规则可以参考。

    但暴雪很贪婪地直接一巴掌全部抓走,不被玩家们唾弃才是怪事。

    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.
