I'm not sure what happened... It's a darn shame.
Probably they cut costs from Reforged to move to something else, but they also don't want to delay the release date of wc3r any further.

They'll be there but only as eye candy replacing the generic unit models.Don't tell me all those new character models are wasted...I want to see Anasterian!
You read my mind. If it's legit, I'm really disappointed, and am considering if I'll buy it at all.
They basically scraped everything apart from HotS models, and a slight engine upgrade.
What's the point of new music anyway, if this is the case?
That was what I was hoping for - to some extent... but now - just like you said, Reforged really looks like just a graphics upgrade and even then, I have a hard time considering the new art style to be better than the original.
Yeah, no thanks, Blizzard.
This.
They said wc3r will be reimagined not just remastered.I bet they thought that it will be easier to redo this game.
Now they know that coding etc takes more time than expected so they just remove cutscenes, voiceovers etc.
Remains to be seen how prolific modding will be.Maybe they'll make up for it by making new campaigns.
Sure but that would mean no interaction with the original characters.Just because the original voices are unchanged doesn't mean new characters can't get extra voice acting.
But wait, they'll add new content after release, "not necessarily campaigns", which in my book means purchasable Daughter of the Sea type skins and purchasable baby lamas for charity. They are going to add super easy difficulty (really???). They are going to add new music. And redo some chapter with the old voice lines. Like seriously??? Having a mute Anastarian as a creep in front of a Sunwell is the lamest thing ever. A scene that is the main plot of (dozens) of books, comics, questlines and what nots, if it doesn't have a proper cutscene, dialogue and quest and boss fight is a story and gameplay ruiner in my book.
Honestly I see all of this as a disrespect, not to me, but to fans and public and people who will buy it in general. The point that spilled the cup for me was, if legit the statement: "We're keepeing the old voice lines, cause of player feedback!" Seriously?!! For me that's just insulting, but maybe it's just me, cause I personally value honesty.
Mindworx has said that he won't be working in the Blizzard California office for another 9 months (it seems he is still in Ireland). As he rightly pointed out, unless Blizzard hired him so that he could start working on other projects as soon as he moved to California, Reforged editor will likely be getting updates for 2+ years to come. Giving players the new tools via the editor is all Blizzard really needs to do--- Players can create content themselves.
The main issue with what they did is that by removing the "Strathholme" treatment, they may have deceived potential customers who pre-ordered as soon as they saw that cutscene in 2018 Blizzcon. But since you already said you did not even preorder it, it seems you are overreacting a little.
Which makes it feel even more unpolished/incomplete if the game has few modified parts and the rest reskinned ones.They didn't remove the Stratholme treatment though.

Source please? Also, define mini-bosses. Do you think they'll create new spells and/or gamplay mechanics? I don't think so if they only mentioned making the game look more attuned to WoW.There are other map changes incoming and lore character cameos/minibosses will still be a thing.
Isn't there an option for that? Or is it broken? "Reset Doodad Height smthsmth", it's under "Tools", or "Advanced", not sure which. Browse through those tabs in case it's neither. I'm pretty sure it's there, since I've used it.Just make the doodads retain their height when you ctrl+c/ctrl+p. That is all I want.
I don't think they will make new spells, but during the panel they've said that one of the changes they're making is allowing players to possess Peons and build Orc stuff in the mission where Arthas and Kel'thuzad attack the demon gate.Source please?

So much for undead vs orc gameplay. Gr...I don't think they will make new spells, but during the panel they've said that one of the changes they're making is allowing players to possess Peons and build Orc stuff in the mission where Arthas and Kel'thuzad attack the demon gate.

It's the same.That works for moving doodads with changed height around. But if you copy and paste the doodad then the height will reset. Or at least it was like that when I last tried. Don't have world editor at hand to try it out now.
Putrid good.I think that all things considered, Sylvanas looks good
Those are the unchanged names of the standard critter models, not the names of the units themselves. That's why Chicken is called Easter Chicken and Dog is labeled as Brown Wolf.1. This is labeled as "Brown Wolf" - I absolutely LOVE this model, but I hope it's a mistake on either Wowhead's or Blizzard's part, because that's definetely not a wolf:
That's one ugly rat. I don't dislike it, but it's really different from the old cute model (i.e. portrait).3. And this little fellow looks like a villain from a Pixar movie Jokes aside, I'm not sure I like it.
As if no eyes and ill actually.2. I don't know what's up, but this pig looks seriously pissed... like, damn. Other than that, great model.
I do, lol. Since most critters were even lower poly than usual models anyway. Not sure if bulldogs and other weird dogs are medieval though.3. And this little fellow looks like a villain from a Pixar movie Jokes aside, I'm not sure I like it.
Susan you.Sue me
Maybe because that one was more a mouse than a rat ?That's one ugly rat. I don't dislike it, but it's really different from the old cute model (i.e. portrait).
