Warcraft III: Reforged PTR -- Version 1.36

Where is the balance change? The immo of DH of Night Elf is ridiculous, especially playing against Human

Any thoughts? I am disappointed that they won't do anything for custom maps and rather focus on melee/ladder. Maybe they want to replace wc3champions one day, not sure. They could at least add some more natives which are really not hard to write and won't affect any gameplay of standard games.

Before adding, they should be fixing and most importantly, not move things like they did with texture paths that broke lots of custom models.

It's unfortunate that they only fixed 1 non-observer in-game thing though. Doesn't really seem like that's what they're going for.

In order not to vary, I will provide my pessimistic opinion once again about the damn Reforged. I said it once and I repeat it, not a million patches can fix the shit they made, from the menus, through the HD models, performance, incompatibility, countless bugs, etc. Reforged is absolute chaos and trying to fix it is little more than trying to cover the sun with a finger. Starting from the fact that it's a graphic patch, that doesn't even work, the HD models, no matter how beautiful they look in close-up, are unplayable in multiplayer, they didn't take into account any of the requirements that RTS models must meet, although of course, it does not surprise me since the models were made by another company. Patch 1.36 is a rag, just like all the ones before it and all the ones to come. I pity the devs in charge of this, wasting their time and talent on a dead game from minute one. Although I must admit that I envy all those who still hope that one day, magically, it will become a playable title.

PS: I mean more, if they were a bit ashamed they would remove it from all the stores, return the money and return to the classic client. Although that is a dream...

I mean for what it's worth the game is playable. I'm sure you didn't mean that literally, but on the other hand if not literally what did you mean?

That's not to say the game isn't riddled with a combination of bugs ranging from ones present since the Reforged launch to additional ones added with basically every new patch since.

If one calibrates their expectations ever so slightly, the game is still fun to play (believe it or not) despite the numerous issues, bugs and what not.

It's playable because when you run it it starts and "works", but if you're going to sell me a pack of HD models for 30 euros, at least those models work. In pvp they are useless, any player will tell you, it is a disaster from the base because the purpose of "reforging" something is to make it better or adapt it to the present, not make it worse. And then everything else that we have already mentioned, but it is that they did not even do the basics well and that cannot be fixed no matter how many patches they release. And I assure you that I sell my grandmother before I reward that shoddy company with a single euro for such excrement that is Reforged.

And for those who think that I am just talking to talk, I doubt that there are many who have paid for the wow subscription for more than 10 years without missing a month and who have bought all their products from 2002 to 2013. So I'm not a Blizzard hater without reason, they have earned my contempt and I wish them the worst as a company. Hopefully your workers can get out of that hole and find a real videogames company where they can take advantage of their talent.

PS: Not me because I'm just an amateur, but I assure you that you put together the 10 best in this forum and they make you products a thousand times better than Reforged. The community doesn't need Blizzard, it's just a burden.

I do feel a bit unqualified to reply further given my lower number of recorded years of WoW subscription (probably about 5-6 only)...

I agree with your general sentiment, I think everyone does. That said you don't have to buy Reforged to play Wc3 - sans HD models it's free for previous owners of Wc3 (even just owning RoC is supposedly enough).

I have to say I also play without HD models especially because my custom map will lag out for many players with HD and if I would use HD custom models its size would be much larger and people will be annoyed to download it. I think the HD assets should be optional to the installation.

Since I am no melee player I would have hoped for some custom map related updates and adding natives is really really easy. They already have all the C++ functionality and just have to export it to JASS without much effort. Fixing stuff takes more time and could also be done but they seem to care only about melee stuff although there are big custom map communities and YouTubers who play custom maps. Fixing some of the JASS functions would also be not that hard but if they have only 1 developer who maybe only works part time on patching this game and the focus is tournaments/ladder etc. it will never happen

Please support (by likes or comments) following message to Blizzard:

1.36 is another new update without Multiplayer Game Saving

Version 1.36 is an upcoming update, but it still doesn't support multiplayer game saving. When Reforged was released, the option to save and load games during multiplayer gameplay disappeared. The "Load" button is currently inactive, and a tooltip displays a message stating that

"the ability to load a custom save games has been disabled and will return in a future update."

This tooltip has been around for over three years now. We urge Blizzard to please return this feature, as it is critical for playing maps with long sessions lasting over 30 minutes.

 

[Barade]

I supported it.

"- Fixed an issue that prevented users from creating 512x512 custom maps"

Wait, so we can create even bigger maps now?
