Hear me out, /v

What if Warcraft III: Reforged got a brand new expansion that covers the story of World of Warcraft, but told in an RTS format?

Imagine playing through the events that happen between Warcraft III and WoW as full strategy campaigns. Then they could release expansions for The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and beyond, all from the classic RTS perspective.

It would mean Warcraft III gets new content, new campaigns, maps, and expansions, breathing fresh life into the game we’ve loved for decades and keeping our favorite RTS alive for a whole new generation of players.

What if they just let us play WC3 on old battle.net without any of the new crap?

Imagine if WoW never happened and we got Warcraft 4 and Blizzard didn't sellout to Activision.

imagine if they finally make world of starcraft

No. Warcraft 3 may as well be greek fire. The methods of its construction have been completely forgotten. All they know now is plastic swords, hermaphrodite elves, and cosmetic wheelchairs. Make your peace with ancient history.
>>
>>724694309
what if we did that but on the original W3 engine not the rebotched poojeet garbage
>>
You do realize how many shit happens in just Vanilla WoW alone right?
The camping alone would be way too fucking long

also, you got the map maker. You can literally do it
>>
They should not touch Warcraft 3 ever again. They fucked it up enough as it is.
>>
>>724694546
They already proved with reforged that they don't understand W3 on any level. Our whole species has degenerated.
>>
They should update the engine/map editor and take advantage of that to propose new gameplay (or let the modders do it)
If they want to make new campaign they should stay away from wow and use wc3 characters not touched by wow (like Maiev)

This is the worst idea I've ever heard, I hope you get AIDS for even thinking it in jest

Any of these co-op?
>>
>>724694309
Do you really want "there must always be a lich king", Arthas sister comes from nowhere and the legion abandon portals and just invades Azeroth with interplanetary space ships in RTS format?

>covers the story of World of Warcraft, but told in an RTS format
The story told in WoW is absolute garbage.
Warcraft 4 should cover an alternative timeline that has nothing to do with WoW.
>>
>>724694357
all good things die eventually, no company in the entire world is just the best for more than a decade
>>
>>724695680
idk go to hiveworkshop and sort by co-op
>>
>>724694309
What of they made WC3 free with multiplayer, removed shitforged entirely? Is that too much to ask for?
>>
>>724696775
Reforged is a nonissue at this point and anyone who doesn't own the game at this point isn't going to bother playing it even if it was free.
>>
>>724694309
No, fuck that. WoW and its expansions are not a good follow up to the story of Warcraft 3. They had to compromise too much to make it work in an MMO format. If they were going to make another campaign for W3 or a Warcraft 4, it should either be a split timeline that ignores WoW altogether, or set at a different point in the timeline so it can be self contained. But, then it would be written by modern Blizzard so it would be shit anyway.
>>
>>724696963
But Reforged is the only client you can play multiplayer with, so you are forced to use it

>What if we went from a pretty good story to the most abysmal dogshit of a story ever told
If they ever continue the main Warcraft games, it needs to be a different fucking timeline where the WoW plot never happened. There isn't a bunch of weird fucking alliances, the Tauren don't suddenly adopt the Night Elf religion, the Frozen Throne characters don't all just die off in raids, they remember that Arthas got his soul stolen by Frostmorne, so on and so forth.

That said, I don't trust modern Blizzard writers to do any of this. Abysmal dogshit is the only thing they know and the only thing they are capable of producing.

>>724696963
So just play in singleplayer also reforge fixed the massive pirated private server issue now everyone playing on a single server than scrubs like yourself playing on random asian server that hosts only dota 24/7

Literally a nonissue.

"There must always be a Lich King" has to be some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life. The idea that the Scourge would become *more* powerful without a central power controlling them and giving them organization, direction and purpose makes me wonder how the brains of the Blizzard writing team even work. How do you break both the lore and all logic so you can have a stupid cliche?
>>
>>724697367
>>724697226
Garena and gameranger are dead, apart from LAN you can ONLY play Reforged if you want multiplayer.

Metzen lost it after wc3
His source of inspiration went from warhammer genre to Disney/Marvel
This quote was from pirates of the Caribbean
>>
>>724698221
>Metzen lost it after wc3
Knaak wrote WC3
>>
>>724698260
No way. Dialogue is much too snappy and the story doesn't feature endless wanking over mages and leviathans and behemoths, I mean dragons
>>
>>724694309
Wait, Blizzard still exists?
>>
>>724694309
any goo coop campaigns?
currently playing the normal campaign in coop with a buddy
>>
>>724698334
>Dialogue is much too snappy
That's how you know it wasn't Metzen
>>
itt shit eaters
>>
are these games worth playing if i have played wow ?
>>
>>724694309
There are already Rise of the Blood Elves and Curse of the Forsaken high quality custom campaigns that cover TBC and WOTLK
>>
Do games on Battle.Net go on sale?
>>
>>724694309
the problem is that wow's story is shit and needs to be entirely retconned that way we can have warcraft 4 with a proper story instead
>>
>>724694309
I wouldn't inherently be opposed to the idea. I like it when WoW content is backported for custom maps and campaigns, particularly for stuff that covers in-game events. I remember seeing some survival map set in Gilneas City or something that was cool.
But the problem is, it's nu-Blizzard. It wouldn't be good. It wouldn't be anything more than defilement.
>>
>>724694309
That would require actual effort, which blizzard obviously isnt ready to do.
>>
>>724695818
The concept of that quote flew over most people's heads because it was told, not truly shown. But a few of the deep icecrown area quests tell exactly how it is; the scourge had victory in hand the entire time. The sheer number of undead they could reanimate and assemble in northrend alone could overpower the rest of the world many times over. The ONLY reason the scourge didn't zerg rush the factions out of northrend and then decimate the rest of the world was because Arthas was MASSIVELY holding back the entire time. This was on account of both of his hubris and the very real human part of him that persisted despite the helm of domination's control and despite him literally tearing his own heart out, a disembodied, barely lingering fragment of consciousness embodied as "Matthias Lehner" in Icecrown, who literally guides you on how to understand and defeat Arthas.

In that sense, Arthas already was the jailer of the doomsday tide that the scourge could really be. A role that had to be followed up by someone, somehow.
