I ask myself "How badly did Blizzard screw this up?" and "Can I somehow use the old launcher?" they clearly didn't.Īfter the game updates I see that I now have to boot W3 through Reforged.Īll the campaigns are locked, I don't have any of my prior saves. I just assumed that Blizzard would know best. I missed the whole Reforged debacle, sure I heard that there was going to be a remaster but I didn't follow what that actually involved for W3, I was so busy that I didn't care to follow it. Hopefully Blizzard can get back on track and take all the criticism the company is currently receiving and use it for good rather than evil.Warcraft 3 was my favourite game as a child, having some free-time I decide to open W3 for the first time in 4 years hoping to play some of the campaign and then I see there's an update. Even Diablo III ended up being pretty good after a couple years of updates, and I still love Overwatch. That’s a new kind of mistake even for the video game industry.Īll of this will no doubt put a damper on fan enthusiasm for the Diablo 2 remaster and for Diablo IV’s eventual release. Certainly, if nothing else, the original game should not be impacted by the failures of the remaster. That it keeps making them is beyond all explanation. These are unforced errors that Blizzard should, by now, be able to avoid. It’s perplexing, to be honest, given the size of the company and the success of so many of its past projects. This is just one more disaster in a string of bungled projects, announcements and releases from Blizzard that at least on their face seem entirely avoidable. The Warcraft 3 reddit and Blizzard forums are war-zones at the moment, with gamers up in arms over the state of the game. Take that with a grain of salt-but if it’s true, it’s a problem. I’m not sure how accurate it is, but others are reporting users being banned from the Blizzard forums for complaining or asking for refunds. Fans are attempting to get refunds, some with more success than others.(And there’s a very real question about whether it’s actually legally binding to begin with). The implications of this are pretty huge, but essentially it’s an attempt by Blizzard to never let another Dota 2 situation happen again. The new user agreement includes language that essentially copyrights all user-created custom games giving Blizzard complete control over all user-generated content.According to one user on reddit, this includes: automated tournaments, clans, profiles, competitive ladder and much more. Some basic features of the original are no longer in the remaster.
Now that both Reforged and the original game are on the same online infrastructure, those connectivity issues will impact the original as well.Connecting to custom matches or even accessing the campaign has been an issue for many. Many users have been experiencing login and connectivity issues as well.Others say the game in general looks worse, though this is subjective. Some are saying the UI looks worse than before. Gamers are reporting numerous bugs, crashes, hangups, assets not loading and many other problems that shouldn’t exist in a remaster of a decades-old game.
You can compare the Blizzcon footage ( here) to the release ( here) to see what I mean.
