It's even earlier than that: the reason why the Blood Elves joined the Horde because the Chinese players pressured Blizzard into putting a "pretty female race" for their in-game wives.
Lmao!
I made a post in the official forums begging Blizzard to
fix the inconsistencies and lo! the Darkspear and Stratholme suggestions were actually answered
Look at you, climbing the ladder. You did beg them though.
Three (edit: Four) more datamined models missing in game:
I can understand about some creeps, but this! They are the main protagonists of not one, but two Campaigns. I mean c'mo Blizzard. This just doesn't make any sense!!!
To me this shows just how much the devs cared about the game. Of course the suits are mostly to blame, but the devs deserve some scorching as well!
It feels like the devs that cared were working on the game and one day a suit comes in, yells at top of his lungs
for everyone to pack it up so they rushed and forgot to include these models.
Its been two years since I posted on here. So I will first off by saying "Hello I am back!"
And to start off with my impression : Yes Reforged is bad. Warcraft 3 is Dead!
I honestly do not care, I tried it for an hour, got a refund and haven't looked back. So most of this is just me gathering information from friends, peers, and just general commentary. An hour of play is pretty generous to only gain from a game, but after several game-breaking bugs. I called it quits. Why? Because there were no changes to the campaigns, and all the missing features I had encountered just made me feel. Yeah this isn't for me. (Graphical or otherwise)
Same here buddy. I've been away from warcraft ever since 1.26 v and I haven't moved on.
Reforged just confirmed to me that the free updated version of warcraft floating around the net
are way better and way more feature complete than Warcraft 3: ShatOut
This game speaks to me like a game that was half baked. It was released before it was ready, it might've been because they needed a first quarterly release for financial reasons. It feels unfinished in that it was not tested in any meaningful way past the few things players had access to. Models, Textures, Maps, Campaigns all seem half-finished and detailed, graphics options are completely missing. It reminds me quite a bit about the release of Bioware's Mistakes (Andromeda, Anthem) or any rushed game from the past 20 years. A lot of promise but a horrible landing.
It was half baked alright. Bobby Kotick likes to cook with an open oven you see.
Luckily, you cannot copyright mechanics and gameplay elements. So even if you make in wc3 a working prototype of a later game, as long as you leave it a gameplay prototype (without specific looks and feel of the game) you can go forward to make a real game out of it.
However, you give your "moral" rights. And that is so vague it could mean anything.
If Blizzard would later clamp on your success with their engine, you have a moral duty
to help them to steal your ideas and make money off them.
I just did some research on Dragonfly Studios and found out that they have made a 3d Arthas fan-art for Warcraft. Arthas in Reforged should have looked like that instead of a guy ripped from an anime game.

EDIT: Blizz should be ashamed as Dragonfly made this Arthas model for free. Yes no one paid them to make this model. Shame Blizztard!
I love things like these. DOTA HQ is a also a fine example of work someone did for free
which if he/she wanted and gave warcraft a dota 2 / TRUE REFORGED feeling
even waaaay before any talk of warcraft reforged.
I think so. I doubt that pretty much anyone is going to buy the game now, at the current state and price. So, I'm not surprised at all that they're refusing refunds. People who got their refunds before the release, got them. Now when it's obviouse that the gmae is over priced and trashed by pretty much anyone, it's unrealistic for them to give refunds.
Its also unrealistic to expect someone to catch wind of Bobby Kotick's smelly farts
before he farts. Only an insider would know how awful the game was, and those that did,
probably told others around.
THIS! THIS IS THE BEST SITE EVER! I HOPE HACKERS PLANT THIS INTO BLIZZARD'S HOME PAGE!
Lets start a kickstarter for this to happen.
This should be the official website. Do you know which smart guy made it?
Update: Back2Warcraft's view on Refunded:
'1.26 was more stable than 1.32
And Hive moved there!
Hey this is one thing which I will always remember as bad on this site. They closed our chat for Discord!
Moving already built in and famous thing for something outside of chat is not Ok for me.
And now since you are telling me that Blizzard has control over it... Damnit man
Hive did sell some of its pride and dignity to attend Blizzard offices some time ago...
I doubt that visit didnt come with a price.
On one hand, 1.26 was more stable than 1.32, that is a truth. How truth can be offensive or toxic?
I believe there are enough experiences in the industry about games being unplayable at launch, that used their fanbase as free beta testers and the sour flavor for doing that. There is a good reason for why people buy only the Game of the Year, or Gold editions, after everything is patched.
It isn't our fault that Blizzard decided to be a follower of that damaging trend. Launch the game later with minimal bugs, the players and workers are going to be happy because they're not going to crunch many hours fixing messes.
1.26 is the golden age of warcraft. Screw bnet. Screw online. You can play with alternate versions of warcraft or install services to connect to others
to simulate a LAN experience. You don't need Blizzard, you never did. It was convenience, but now not even that is given to you.
We’ve been following the discussions the past couple days and want to thank you for your feedback as well as your support. First off, we want to say we’re sorry to those of you who didn’t have the experience you wanted, and we’d like to share our plans for what’s coming next.
This is proof that Blizzard cant and wont say anything of value publicly. They must be forced down, through backlash and losing money.
Want to thank you for your feedback - while we were refusing refunds, banning people... thanks tho!
As well as your support - we ban you for any reason that further spreads the truth of our piece of shit game
We are sorry to those who didnt have the experience you wanted - because we lied about the game and sold it under false advertising
We'd like to share our plans for what's coming next - don't ask questions. just get excited over next product or feature. you sheep!
Let's wait for the next move aka the first patch before we start the fires again - before the torches
are being rekindled.
Each day an undead of Blizzard is sacrificed to keep the age of reforged going.
@KILLCIDE oh, I sent PM to Ralle regarding this from moment MasterBlaster addressed his name in this thread to calm down situation (two days ago). I told him about our arguing, insulting, Blizzard fanatism, and us bashing Blizzard and such and gave him links to see.
This is his reply ,,
Haha, people are back and excited for good and bad." then in next sentence he asked me how I am privately, (then we talked private, but thats not matter here). But point is, he knows. And he does not see problem here.
That means we can keep going against Blizzard as they deserve. For their false advertising, refusing to refund and other illegal activities. Oh yes, my favorite 0.5/10 rating! hahahaha!
Thy can't ban us from Hive as they can in Blizzard forum, here is no code of conduct which their employees can abuse here!
So guys, keep going!
LET THE WITCH HUNT CONTINUE THEN!
GINGER ALE AND PITCHFORKS FOR EVERYONE!
That has to be the worst job at blizzard right now, literally a scapegoat for player hatred. That stinks but again at this point I am not surprised how terrible this game turned out to be.
A soulless cash grab. Thats all this game is.
This is without a doubt a soulless cash grab.
Not the worst though. That would be the HOTS e-sports cancel and the hearthstone bans.
This lands in perfectly like a cherry on top... except the cherry is big piece of stinking fucking dogshit!
