Here's your new WC3 upgrade. We took away LAN. No refunds!!!
>players can still play lan via the classic client
>>747579715Can the new expansion be played in the classic client? That would be a dick move if not
>>747579878ofc not. reforged client only. the classic client is purely for backwards compat so people who bought the disc in 2003 dont complain it no longer works.
>>747579715>it's how amazing how much bootlicker dialogue is them just pretending not to understand the issue
>>747579878Look into your heart and you will see that you already know what Blizzard will do
This is just standard practice these days. Why would they let you keep playing the old game when they end up releasing the new one? Forcing customers to buy the new product after removing access to the old is just good business.
>>747579624this thread won't get many repliesthe downsides of this kind of theft/censorship requires reasoning. the average idiot will just go "I don't use lan" and stop thinking right there. though maybe they can ask ai to clarify>>747581527are you false flagging?they are not removing access to the classic client.they are removing lan from the new remake and reforged.and if you're referring just to the expansion, honestly it's probably not easy to port to an old client. I don't blame them for that part. plus I'm sure we can just make it ourselves with the map maker
>>747581754I agree. Cutting access to what people know and love is difficult but good for Blizzard in the long run.

Who is playing Warcraft 3 Reforged LAN in 2026? Serious question. This is like getting mad at Civilization for removing play-by-post.
>we at blizzard noticed that some of you still have fun without us being able to sell your behavioural data to telemarketers. We want to change thatThx pozztard. Can't wait for diabetloo 5
>>747584769>less options is just fine, okay?
>>747584769I haven't played WC3 in forever, but I just had a LAN party with some friends a month ago where we played Broodwar at a summer cottage in the middle of nowhere, Finland.
videogame company loyalty is a shade of retard not unlike professional sports that have a name of a State but hire people from literally anywhere. you "people" make me sick.
>>747584897>>747585075Why would you want to play Warcraft 3 Reforged at a LAN party though? The whole point of LAN parties nowadays is that it's a "throwback", so it follows that you'd probably want to play the original, not the remaster.
>>747585476You were born after 2005.
>>747585554>can't come up with an argument>resorts to name callingDidn't know bluesky users were on 4chan.
>>747585607Lurk more.
>>747584769w3c used LAN for their matchmaking far superior to bnet (which was ruined by reforged 6 years ago)now the dlc tries to ruin w3c, thankfully community is hard at work with fixes
>>747585685>more
>>747585889No one says "moar" anymore.
>>747585476"No LAN" in a multiplayer game is something I associate with modern industry bullshit."Always online" is also something I associate with modern bullshit.They're both methods that are only there as anti-piracy measures and serve no purpose to legitimate players. Its a symptom of the company now being owned by Activision and now Microsoft who only see you as cattle and want to squeeze every nickle out of you that they can.Do I really need to phone home to MS's servers every time I want to play a mission in the campaign?Do they really need to take away features because they're afraid of ICCUP taking their lunch again and providing a better experience then Battle net ever did?
>>747586181Oh, I forgot the biggest point. Pirates are going to find workarounds on day one anyway. So why keep screwing with paying customers?
>>747585607Its exhausting explaining shit again and againJust do your own research and stop relying on gaslighting AI
Does anybody know why this shit keeps happening?>In b4 Reforged is a piece of shitYes, I know, I am more interested if that's some problem on my end or Blizzard fucked up some textures along the way.
>>747588643Blizzard fucked up, if this was on your end it wouldn't be limited like that
Honestly why do you care? You're not actually playing Reforged, right?
Anybody know how to do the lever puzzle? I'm too much of a brainlet, it feels like I've already done all of the combinations, but whatever I do the fucking slimes keep spawning.
I don't care.First, Warcraft 3 is some old-man uncle shit at this point.Second, Blizzard are scum, it's only natural they will act like scum at every turn.
