It's important for the company to get enough sales. What comes after, it could be Warcraft IV and that would work because possibly WoW players would get driven to this RTS for a change, not getting bored with more WoW expansions. Shifting is good business. You play some of this, you want something else, get back to WoW and so on.
Seeing how they worked with West Asian companies to make this, I wager they weren't aiming at something for more than a few years but seeing how stuff goes in China, they might just hit a jackpot.
I love the fact that the team is doing unique models for almost every single campaign unit and, well, every other unit too. Even a unit that was part of a quest that was dropped in the Reign of Chaos campaign. The dragon Tharifas: Tharifas
Always bugged me but then I understood it somehow. They didn't put Chimaeras in RoC at all, not even or especially in the last map because they would have been too powerful but I guess Tharifas as some sort of lesser Sapphiron but with some role could have worked alongside lesser green dragons. Maybe, they considered that would still affect the gameplay. However, that made it so the dragons did not do anything to help Azeroth this time and I doubt they knew Medivh did anything either. Not to mention any blue dragons telling the other dragons or night elves or at least trying something against the Lich King in TfT.
That version gives me Heroes of Might & Magic V vibes.
Nazgrel and Drek'Thar confirmed Warcraft III Reforged Models
Reflecting on what I wrote earlier, yes hard work is what is needed to make models that will fit reforged, BUT, the good question would be why would someone work hard on a such thing?
Let me ask you this then. Why do you make models, good sir?
@Archain i am hoping that logic of Reforging goes like this : We will recreate assets as close as possible to wc3 ones but highpoly version of them, but on other hand we will create new unique assets for campaign that differes from default ones, consider whole warcraft universe for designs etc.
Now if Reforged logic is opposite that would means, they are avoiding original wc3 designs,literally deleting the possible highpoly version of it and replacing it with wow,hots,heartstone designs.it
This approach is selfish to people who been playing the game for 15 years and it literaly became part of their lifes, they got used on the models,and they dream is now they get high poly version of it.
This way, i will never be able to see that Wc3 Dragon in high poly state,with that glorious punk alike scales,no spammed horns like some dragons of Reforged, just being simple in his own glory with specific shape of the wings that feets the design.
That way i will never be able to see high poly projection of Jungle Beast, and it will be replaced with some creep from wow.
Magnataur face too. Arahcnatid model replaced with some wow designs scorpions.
Do you know you cant find such an uniqness those models posses anywhere in cg industry,games,etc?
It would be a crime man to not pay attention to this, and pixel art or minecraft wc3 models Argument does not stands at all, hd mods proove it!
Also,if you cant watch that squarish jungle beast art, you can for sure open the texture and admire it and imagine how to recreate the beast!
Peace!
I think archian mentioned that he would be giving money prices to model makers or something like that, so cheer up
No, money shouldn't be involved.Let me ask you this then. Why do you make models, good sir?
Also, you are free to link to your Best way for artists and creators to get sustainable income and connect with fans | Patreon account on every resource you upload
And yes, we plan on giving monetary prizes for certain contests to kick off modeling for Reforged.
If you are talking about us bringing back Director's Cut - we are still going to do that. Be patient with us.
Yeah but that's why they are probably making so many model/unit variations and obviously, they will push microtransactions in anyway so either you guys will join a sort of auction house where you can sell them through Battle.net-Reforged or you will make one free model once a year or so.
Also that but that has its limits.
Problem is, Wacraft III fans are already into this game but WoW and HotStorm fans are not as much so this is ActiBlizz's bridge for them towards Reforged.
Actually, this is a good thing since the original Jungle Beast is only a reskin.
Sapphiron has one but it's not that big/high.
Because it's been that way since WoW if I'm not mistaken.

Checking this
and they decided to change the fel/chaos orcs considerably but the warlock is pretty much the same. I'd rather one of the variations have its hood like in the original, at least.
Love the chaos wolf rider by the way. I'd love that type of spikes to be on Thrall's and Far Seer's wolves instead of the mountain peaks they have now.
Drak'Thul doesn't have markings on the cloak anymore. Not a huge bad but still. Maybe the other neutral orc warlock variants have them?
I'd also love it if they didn't make every model be on steroids. Say, maybe the or some Blademasters at least be a bit thinner for they are agility heroes.
Too bad Chen doesn't have the douli anymore. I so love those hats. Maybe the melee brewmaster does apart from some Storm, Earth and Fire models?
By the way the Grunt has the shoulder armour on the other side
Gul'dan's fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is as impressive as ever... Not sure how the character copes with all that back and kyphosis pain.
Both Shadow Hunters have a mask now?
Hopefully the fountains will be properly animated. Now they look like viscous candy.
The metal cage looks weird. It's red as if coloured in the object editor.
The wooden cage is transparent in that it has holes. The issue with that is units appearing out of them when they break but which are not seen through those holes beforehand.
Watching the human unit comparison on the first page/post I have to write:
OK, guys, not funny, #MakeOverShoulderCloakAnimationsGreatAgain!
If the Blacksmith's bellows doesn't blow, the model will.
Frankly, the original Arcane Sanctum's planetary gyroscope is more sophisticated, meaning the new one isn't that nice.
The Gryphon Aviary looks more like WcII's but the point of it is to have a peak like structure for the birds to have their roost.
Some more work on the towers to make them less toy looking and having more a realistic stone aspect.

That's true, they are too brown.
but
then who said Warcraft IV has to be after WoW?
since Kil'jaeden made Ner'zhul that way?
I'm indifferent to it, maybe because I never watched the Simpsons
Maybe the bracers are but that over their shoulders and chest is definitely armour.
Damn right, it's stupid. Now, Warcraft III fans get to "confuse" instead. Pretty clear to me, who gets more attention.
Or make it another Voidwalker version, big deal.
Or that. Honestly I don't care how they would have done it - I just think it would be nice to get that model too.
It's still fleshy, not netherwordly.
Yeah, but with some effects it would work better than the ones they've made for the Reforged.
Indeed. I guess almost anything would be better.
Shadow hunter, roc Demon hunter, warden, Kotg, MK, Lich..
