What a fucking travesty. It's been several years and I'm still bewildered. Adding the Frozen Throne main menu doesn't change shit.

I liked how they were talking about expanding and doing some rewrites

The biggest sin is making it a headache to install the "legacy" version which is now just the Reforged client with a flag on your account to make sure you can't play with their downgraded assets. Requires some obscure EXE that they used to have buried somewhere in their horrible mess of a site, links to it on the forums and shit, but it can't be grabbed anymore without going to the internet archive. Fuck you Blizzard, stupid bastards. I'm never buying Reforged, twisting my arm this hard has guaranteed it.

It's sad because Reforged improved a bit with time, but the damage it caused means it will never be the same game it once was, and most of the improvements are either them adding stuff they added in or fixing stuff they broke. There's still good custom maps and campaigns that come out, but it's in spite of the game's current status. Plus they can go fuck themselves for preventing any additional CD-keys from being redeemed.

If you logged into Battlenet after Reforged came out, the original Warcraft 3 was automatically updated to Reforged.

My favourite part about the Reforged thing was that when I was using my old CD keys they kept deleting the games off my account every few months.

They also wanted to change maps to look more like their World of Warcraft appearance (in relation to where they technically take place). I think for Reforged they only ever ended up working on four maps and kept the rest the same. Thank fuck the fans immediately lashed out though, most of the new maps aren't that good anyways.

That would honestly make sense given how Maiev was hellbent on getting Illidan back in his cage. If it wasn’t bad enough she lost her top tier Stormrage cock, imagine how buckbroken she is mentally knowing her boy toy still longs for Tyrande after not knowing any pussy but her’s for 10,000 years.
If the most prominent members of Azeroth are this deviant, imagine how depraved the average soldier is. The fields of Azeroth were littered in defiled, deflowered, and disgraced NElf warrior women bodies that were pumped full of Orc/Human cum moments before they met their gruesome ends.

There was something about it that didn't sit right, mostly the new models and map assets, that immediately made me hesitant. I waited, saw the reception, and immediately knew I made the right call. I wish I had been wrong about it. Either way, Battle.net right before Reforged came around was just bot hosted games anyways, and far less actual people were playing non-DotA/Legion TD custom maps. Even now, it's hard to get full games unless people see one of the maps in the lobby has more than four people in it.

>>735053864
Seeing as how you can literally just make a 2.0 where you add one peasant to the corner of the map and change nothing else, it's still applicable. But who knows how much leeway that policy gives them, it could be anything before it was implemented too. Would still mean they'd "own" all the maps with DBZ, Naruto, and that kind of shit since people still make them.

It's Blizzard. How ANYONE trusted them to do a good job is baffling to me. I feel like I'm the last sane man in the world, because when I heard they were "remastering" WC3 I instantly knew it would suck and thought that was obvious. No, it's not pessimism, I literally knew they would find a way to fuck up every single thing about it and there would not be a single positive aspect of it. Because Blizzard has been a terrible, shitty company that cannot do a single thing right since at least 2008. Anybody who has given Blizzard money over the last like 18 years is an accomplice to every shitty thing they've done. You fuckwits gave them money, you get what you fucking deserve.

Honestly the brainless WoW drones and blizzdrones disgust me far more than the soulless corporate suits who run the company. Nihilistic moneymen who just want more money to make more money at least make sense. I cannot figure out what drives you fucking cretins.

I thought the first trailer for the remaster looked terrible but I was somewhat interested in the cutscenes being remade with actually cinematography. I hated the one cinematic they remade as soon as I saw it.
So overall I'd say my thoughts were quiet dread.

You say that, except that's basically what George Lucas did with the original Star Wars movies.

He kept updating the originals with new CGI and edits, and you essentially can't buy the original version anymore. If you want the original, unedited version of Star Wars you pretty much have to pirate a fan made restoration. You can't just buy it legit.

The only good thing about the DoW remaster is the shift to 64 bit freeing up the memory cap and compiling all the games into a single .exe, and the only function for that is keeping the modding scene alive, everything else is AI slop.

Doesn't apply to gaming because it's ultimately data being sold and transferred, there's no reason to not sell an old game unless it's some weird licensing issue at hand. What Blizzard did with Warcraft is just malice.

The DoW remaster gave us (players of modded games and modders) exactly what we wanted and not more or less. Any AI changes would have been intrusive changes to the scripting and would have fucked over every single mod out there. We have Unification, the arguably biggest DoW mod out there, on the DE since I think just a few weeks after it came out and it's because it was a good fucking remaster.
And yes, it was a remaster, not a remake. A remaster changes very few things on the backend like the move to 64 bit, textures and sounds while a remake would change things entirely to where it's not even the same game, like Silent Hill 2.
>>
>>735059771
How fucking dumb are you that you want Blizzard to make more games instead of collapse in bankruptcy? Literally the only way we get a WC4 that is worth a shit is if Blizzard goes bankrupt and the IP is bought by an actually competent company that has entirely different people working on it, untainted by Blizzard's appalling legacy of failure and mismanagement.

Yeah but Reforged gave me the best version of Warcaft 2, so it evens out.

if they were equivalent games that might be true, but even the biggest nostalgiafags of all time would have to admit warcraft 3 was worth far more

They should have added the part where Arthas fights off time traveling dragons on the way to Mal'Ganis. It would save reforged.

What are you faggots still crying about anyway? The game is getting balance patch updates again.
It's the most balanced it's ever been.
You can play the campaign just like how it was originally.
You can play PvP and community based maps.
You can still shit on blizzard for being retarded AND not claim how the game is unplayable now as if any of you have booted it up in the last 5 years.

Kill blizzdrones.

It's not about being a blizzdrone, you retarded mouth breather. The company's gone to shit, but the game is still there and it's good. Those who still play it want to have more people to play with/against, which is already hard enough with it being a 20+ year old game, without you imbeciles who have most likely not even played it after 2004 doomposting about how it's all over. Unironically kill yourself.

Trying to get Jarod away from his off-screen wife and into Shandris's thong is basically never going to happen. This woman wasn't even important enough to be Night Warrior and lose to Nathanos on her own timing, how the fuck is she going to cuck the most powerful and dangerous of all WoW characters - the one who never shows up so the writers can't fuck her up?

Yeah you logged in bnet and it triggered an upload that replaced the 2gb ancient game with a 20gb slop with shitty upgraded graphics that literally no one even used. The base game ran like shit and ate your RAM but somehow the main menu, that was an electron app that required headless chrome to run, was even more demanding on your computer CPU and RAM than the actual game.

When the reforged came out I could easily run multiple instances of the original game on my shitty old laptop with 4gb RAM. I could no longer play wc3 online on that laptop after reforged was released.

Oh yeah and obviously I didn't but reforged, so the new "fancy" graphics made in some sweatshop in malaysia, were locked so I wasn't able to use them. Didn't help the performance or file size one bit.

I've heard it's better now but fuck it. It's still worse than the original. It replaced the IRC chat with some modern slop that requires consent to send DMs to other players so after you've lost a 1v1 match you must first "friend" your opponent in order to call them a faggot. And I think there was even a limit how many friends you can have. It's just so sad an alienating.

I boot it up at least once a year to play some gay ass custom map, or suck ass at Warchasers.

I've been playing that map off and on for 23 years and I still can't beat it solo. Look at me and laugh. I've never really looked up guides tho tbqh I just think it's a really fun map so I play it a lot.

functionality means nothing, even with all of the demake shit, it could have still been huge, the modding discords were gearing up to start producing new maps, but they dropped the TOS stating that anything made in wc3 deforged edtior belongs to blizzard both the map and the idea. The mod discord dropped to 1/3 population that day as everyone fucking quit.

gta definitive is worse and even more disrespectful since it shits on three games at once

You can actually int, troll and shit talk anyone in this game with no penalties whatsoever. Blizzard simply doesn't give a shit about moderating this game.
It's classic that's still somehow stuck in the early 2000s and and I love it for it.

>1. Campaign
I think mechanically, it was fine, but way too easy.
The gimmick of WoL with the rpg elements between missions and picking upgrades, choosing paths, great.
problem is that I played it on the hardest difficulty and didn't use a single upgrade until the final mission and when I then spent them I could've beat the mission with single digit apm.

Metzen was too coked fuel at the time, so he couldn't make a compelling story.
Mixing fantasy and scifi is fine, but it delved too deep into chosen, prophecy, and mindviruses like corruption/redemption.
There was no real adult in the room, who could say no, and they had too much money to play with.
They were fans of battlestar galactica, and made it a big deal that they got an actress from there to play Kerrigan.
No sensible person should care about that.
She also spoiled the ending in her first sc2 panel.
In warcraft 3, the orcs had an arc of redemption, with tangible sacrifice and depth.
I will never take Kerrigan seriously when she's on a high horse complaining about the protoss killing millions of zergs. It's like if someone released a swarm of bees in an apartment complex, and then being like "okay, maybe I killed some people with my bee swarm, but I saw you swat some of the bees who were trying to kill your baby, so who's reallt he bad guy here?"
The zerg are not people. Orcs are people, people who have done horrible things or descendants of people who have horrible things, it is a story you can invest in.

Sorry, buddy. Blizzard owns the rights to this masterpiece.
If anyone asks. it's their work and they're very proud of it.

>>735063075
>2. UMS
In Starcraft 2 every map was listed in terms of popularity, I am not sure how much this have changed.
Popularity was defined as "#games played in the last hour".
So you could sit in a lobby, 6 people, waiting for 2 more for a custom game. No one hosted the game, the lobby is just there like every other game.
Since no one has played it in the last hour, it is on page 86 of ums games. There are 50 pages of empty lobbies of other games before it making it very unlikely for people to randomly discover it. sometimes you'd join an empty game, this would also be the case for wc3 for a while due to botted hosting the most cancerous era of wc3 before reforged
In warcraft 3, you hosted a game, you'd check which games were up, refresh and see the games currently waiting for more players, with 1-11 people already in them. You wouldn't be distracted by hundreds of games no one is playing.
If 10 people host dota, you'd see 10 games of dota.
Before people moved on to 3rd party sites for hosting dota, you might see only dota games, but then you'd refresh once, or host yourself and your Dark Deeds game would fill up all the same.

User Agreement also changed.
Blizzard were very mad that they didn't control the dota brand.
The user agreement for the wc3 editor protected blizzard's assets.
The user agreement for the sc2 editor covered the maps created.
This dissuades creators.
Doesn't matter if it's not very enforceable, it matters that it makes people wary of engaging with it.
Also, the sc2 editor was a lot harder to use and more time consuming to use.
Any idiot could mess around with the wc3 editor.

>3. Melee, 1v1, etc
This is probably the best part of sc2.
People like it, I don't care for it, I don't wanna type anymore.
I think it was heavily shilled, but also it seemed like a fine rts, it's got some problems and I don't like the deathblob gameplay.

I don't know how many hours it took, but I remember waiting for my health to regen a lot around somewhere around the steam tank part.

>but it's fun to try lmfao.
RPG maps with true failure conditions and you ran out of lives were great honestly.
Made you appreciate a run going well.
Kinda makes me wanna play that sunken ruins tileset rpg again that was pretty good.

I wish I could find one rpg that was made early in RoC. I basically just remember lordaeron fall(probably) and you started in the middle.
Like I think it was up in the first month of RoC

You're thinking of Warcraft 1
no water elementals in warcraft 2

play the games anon.
At least orc campaign of wc1 and human campaign of wc2

>They also wanted to change maps to look more like their World of Warcraft appearance (in relation to where they technically take place)
It was so stupid.
It's like if GRRM wrote his next book and then took notes from the tv show, scaling shit down and changing character descriptions so showfags aren't confused.

If anything they should be doing the opposite, fix WoW locales so it makes more sense.
WoW made sense for the uncertainty 25 years ago, but the game grew and they could've expanded existing areas and reformed them.

Reforged is the only game I give a negative score for deleting and overwriting a good game instead of just being shit on its own. They knew nobody would play it willingly.

Wings of liberty campaign was S tier in the gameplay department but heart of the swarm Kerrigan was so strong that the same deathball strat just curbstomped everything so it was really flat

you've clearly never had a j*b in your life
"i just dont understand!!"
and you never will because you've never had to work underneath an old Stacy or Gruntilda that knows NOTHING about FUCKING ANYTHING and yet is paid six figures because her tits are huge and she's able to keep hundreds of men in line because of them.

fun story: i worked at GameStop in 2006-2012 and the DISTRICT MANAGER told me that she doesn't play games. at all. she smelled of her cats and looked honest to god like a fat witch, that Gruntilda line wasn't a joke. she promoted a mall rat instead of me for the supervisor keys position at my store so i had to move meanwhile the mall rat quit to work at a tuxedo place not 3 months later.

moral of the story: women ruin fucking everything

It really is disheartening figuring out that society isn't meritocratic like everyone told you it was. It's nepotism all the way down, it always has been. They tell you to work hard, be the best, and your efforts will get rewarded, but what actually gets you rewarded is your ability to lie, cheat and steal your way to the top.

They tell you that so they can figure out who the top performers are and grab them, everyone else is just cattle to consume product so most offices are actually just fake adult daycare for women
