Fans of Warcraft III ambiguously reacted to the release of the remaster. On the game forums on the Blizzard website, users criticize developers for technical problems and misleading ads, and also help each other get the money back for Reforged and install the original client again. Cybersport.ru has collected the most interesting and hot topics that are discussed by fans of Warcraft III.
“Return money for the game”
Some players were so disappointed with Reforged that they demanded that the developers return the money. In Battle.net, this can be done within 48 hours after purchase. Many enthusiasts have appeared on the forums who have written refunds for Warcraft III: Reforged. Several posts have already been posted on reddit that Blizzard bans those who create similar posts. However, in the top of the most popular topics on the official Reforged forum for more than a day there has been a guide on returning the game. Feedback on the work of the Blizzard support service also comes in contradictory – some of the players were able to get their money back, while other users claim that the company refuses to return.
“We were forcibly slipped a game that is worse”
Many users are unhappy that Blizzard has removed access to the original Warcraft III client. Fans claim that in the remaster, the old version of the game has become visually worse and has lost a number of useful functions and features – for example, a local area connection, rating system, clans and more. Players require that developers return a separate Warcraft III client and roll back all the changes that were made in Reforged, as well as restore their old accounts.
“A guide for those who want to return to the classics”
Since there is a demand for the original Warcraft III, the “offer” immediately appeared on the forums. GiantAxe created a step-by-step guide on how to reinstall the strategy so that Battle.net doesn’t forcibly update the client to Reforged. The post appeared not so long ago, but already broke into the top of the most popular discussions. To upgrade to the original Warcraft III, you must install version 1.2 and then manually patch it to 1.27b. You can read more about this here. Connect to the modern version of Battle.net and play online with Reforged users using this method will not work.
“It is not permissible to state:“ This will be fixed later ””
Fans are not ready to wait for Blizzard to fix their mistakes. Many fans are sure that a self-respecting company should immediately release a finished game, and not a raw product full of bugs. According to users, all these shortcomings are excusable for a beta test, but monstrous for a $ 30 release. Fans are perplexed why, after they bought the game, they need to wait until the developers fix the freeze of the campaign and introduce the rating system in matchmaking. Some also noted that Blizzard should have postponed the release for a longer period so as not to “disgrace” with the unfinished game.
“Blizzard broke the law”
The most dissatisfied users are already discussing the possibility of suing Blizzard. In their opinion, the company’s actions fall under the article “on false advertising.” Some fans believe that their consumer rights have been violated and the developers deliberately misled them. On the Reforged page, it was said that there would be more than four hours of cut scenes in the remaster in the style of the trailer for the Stratholme massacre mission – they were not in the release version. Users believe that Blizzard advertised one product and sold another – therefore, she broke the law.
“Enough to exaggerate – Reforged turned out pretty good”
Among the negative posts are positive reviews. Some users were satisfied with the new graphics, unit models and a sense of nostalgia. In their opinion, Blizzard will correct shortcomings in the near future and introduce a rating system, statistics and other missing features. The game is praised for keeping the plot of the original campaign and gameplay.
The full Reforged release took place on January 29th. Fans noted that the game left a lot of bugs and problems that were still at the beta test stage. Users underestimated the rating of the remaster on Metacritic – at the time of publication of the news, the Reforged score is 1.4 out of 10 points.
