this harmed one of the core aspects of Warcraft 3 pillars, that any person, an i joke you not, any person with some 2-3 day research and practice can start modifying the rather simple/humble models and make their own creations, which is what made the game a unique standout compared to large scale “Mods” for games that in almost any game other then War3 is like a giant funded project with professional modelers being hired for anything productive to come out. instead they treated the game as if everyone forgot about it and it needed a “scratch” recreation.Ģ - Be moddable and performant, Reforged models are not reskins, infact they are almost needless over detailed hunks of assets that are entirely too difficult to quickly do fast edits to. When you’re remastering a game like War3, the best thing is to look what the game evolved to in the 10 years of abandonment, and provide the missing pieces to the community, because the community never died. yet upon Reforged launch the 2 visuals were so, so inconsistent with eachother that you couldn’t even blend in some of the newer community made high resolution texture models with HD models and roll with it. This consistency would have further helped the game because places like Hive workshop at that point had built up a massive category of assets to use. it needed a visual overhaul that will:ġ - Be consistent enough in accordance to the older visuals in order for map makers and players to be able to quickly adapt and move over instead of the current situation where its almost a faction war, you either hate it, or love it, no in between. War3’s visual overhaul didn’t need some ground breaking cutting age ray tracing super gritty graphics, or models which all of you falsely claim to be reskins. however the terrain tilesets are simply too poorly done. the lightning engine is not the main problem, its the assets. The Lightning Engine was changed based on community feedback to not look as dark and gritty like it did on the 2018 version. Well, there were grander plans at one point, but budget cuts mean they didn’t have enough staff to do more than what, as you said, amounts to a higher res reskin. Then, mission accomplished, the community will carry the game for another 15 years. Provide things such as a Classic only download option that leaves out HD assets from the installation, this is entirely possible and easy to do.Īnd most importantly, fix bugs, we have, mountains of minor bugs waiting to be fixed. the UI needs a complete overhaul, return of many functions and features.ĭiscussions should be done for dedicated support of W3Champions to avoid repeating all they’ve already accomplished. and it needs to pay proper respect to both audiences of the game it was remastered for, Classic, and HD. The goal is simple, the game needs to be fixed with major and minor patches. Now i’m not one of the people who just likes to dunk 100% of the blame on one person but i think he has enough influence to hold anything meaningful from being done until he’s out.Īs for us, we just need to wait, i’m personally not leaving war3 either way so doesn’t matter to me, hopefully they listen to our feedback and fix the game. and after that we might see some change.īobby’s departure is the first sign, he’s bound to, if he leaves, go out with 250Million dollars. Microsofts transition is not instant but will take atleast a year, after that priority will be given to new titles. This is a great day for gaming and for the first time in a long time, I am eagerly awaiting what’s next for Warcraft as an RTS and also StarCraft. Once Microsoft is in charge, does anyone think that they will have a competent team remake the game properly and give it the respect it deserves? I am hopeful. It had so much potential and it was all just ruined. When you compare the graphics to something like Diablo 2 Resurrected, you can see that Blizzard was capable of making great games, but for some reason, Warcraft III was disrespected and treated like a piece of garbage. Actually yes, Dota 2, looked better than this game when it released and that was about 10 years ago. Graphically, it looks like a game that came out 10 years ago, maybe worse. Warcraft III Reforged is one of the biggest gaming disappointments I can remember.
