Groms name was always Grommash but there used to be a little lore tidbit that orcs didn't call each other by their full name out of respect. So when Thrall called him Grommash it was to talk down on him and lecture him as a child. And thus ends my "well actually" moment.

Reforged is decent proof that even with an easy, foolproof, and airtight concept, modern Blizzard still can't churn out a good game out of it. They aren't even making a new game with Reforged, they're visually remastering a nearly two-decade old game, whilst keeping the internals as it was. This is like asking Blizzard to wash your car with soap and water, and somehow they ended up setting the entire car on fire a result. And then they pissed on it, because screw you.

Your understanding of the effort required to recreate this system is incorrect. Based off the content in this video, WC3 had an extremely interconnected and matured ecosystem around it. Recreating something like that can take an unbelievable amount of time. I think the video creator hit the nail on the head: the developers needed more time, but the business told them to release what they had. That goes against everything old Blizzard stood for and is really sad to see. Nintendo still holds the opposite view. If they don't think a game is good enough, they don't release it. They completely scrapped Metroid Prime 4 because the game was not turning out like they had hoped. An extremely costly decision, but one that they are willing to make to maintain their reputation and loyal fans.

@@shadoninja I don't know about that.. W3Pad created a ladder system for the game in about 15 hours (what he himself said). Player profiles should be a thing of a few hours for experienced blizzard developers, especially since profiles are nothing new and they had it in previous games, I mean they had it in this wc3 lol. There are just so many minor things which should have been so easy to make. There's not even an "apply" button for when you change something in the options, you have to click back and then it asks you if you want to save the changes you made. Creating a custom game and inviting a friend takes about 15 clicks :D I don't know man.. all of it is just so unintuitive. They might have needed more time yeah, but now they're not really communicating with the community, they're prioritizing stuff that no one asked for. Their decisions are so questionable.

I was going to be one of these new people to be honest.

WC3 was one of the greatest standards when it came to RTS's, my favorite genre, and now just like DoW it failed miserably and is dead in the water. Let future developers learn from this and see that the gaming community isn't going to put up with this kind of nonsense anymore.

DotA and other custom map creators did a great service to WC3 to keep it alive. And they are not even grateful. DotA probably got patched more than the actual WC3 game did. I knew people that bought a copy of WC3 for a BNet CD Key just so they could play DotA on Bnet back in the day. They never even played 1 game of ladder and was not interested: Just attracted by DotA In the later years of WC3, before HoN, DotA2, LOL and HotS, there probably was more DotA players on Bnet than ladder players. And Blizzard never gave the support for a standalone DotA game even though it was obvious they should have collabed with IceFrog. And then get salty when they go make one with Valve? This was a monumental fail by Blizzard

WC Reforged serves as a tangible example of how Blizzard is no longer Blizzard. There was a time when Blizzard would rather wait for 3+ years to make a truly epic game (Warcraft 3) the philosophy was -- "WHO CARES how long it takes if you make it right it will be remembered/enjoyed forever". The current philosophy however seems to be "WHO CARES, just get it out the door" despite not even being close to ready, they assume people will just deal with it. But us older Blizz fans are used to quality right out of the gate... ya know that patented "Blizzard polish". What I can't understand is that of all the communities who would put up with a slow and old school development cycle would be the WC3 community which has existed largely ignored for years. Reforged was a great idea, but it's execution exposes the ever growing rift between a once community-focused developer and its pissed off player base.

Warcraft 3 reforged was just another Warlords of Draenor from Blizzard. I liked what I received (I bought the game a month after it's release, so I didn't get a lot of disconnects) but maaan. Adding like 3 times more things to the game wouldn't hurt. Also, I do understand your point of view, but it is also tactical choice to release the product kinda unfinished and patch it up in a year. But this is way unfinished. Take for example league of legends champions. They release them overpowered and nerf them as people start to get the grip on them. This way Riot gets closed to proper balance.

We will soon see not only will this be happening more with game industry in general, we will be seeing a blend of this behavior across all consumption boards. In every Continent. You read it here. I read it from history. I see it in patterns of trivial formalities like gaming, trends, interprise, the market, etc etc. The children being born now have little to no idea how good things were (sound like our parents?)

Man, this just showcases how perfect OG WC3 is. I mean, there are zero flaws. I say that as someone who doesn't play the actual RTS, just the custom maps, but still. Everything about it is just great. They honestly probably would have made more money and got less crap for just re-releasing Warcraft 3 with the same graphics but better optimization for newer systems + new campaigns, units, and spells. PLUS improved matchmaking. Why does Blizzard have to shit on its fans and ruin their fun instead of embracing it? Steam has been doing it for almost two decades now. Is Blizzard really that salty about not being able to capitalize on DOTA (which very fairly was not deemed their IP since the entire idea was someone else's creation).

I was working on a custom campaign remake of the game from start to finish with another member of the Hive Workshop community and I took two years, slowly, in secret to make a grand mod for Warcraft 3. I released a few maps as an experiment to see what players like even before I would announce our project. I was into it all; models, lore (Captain Falric, Marywnn, Thassarian, Nazgrel, and other lore needs. I added all of these as hero units, they weren't just regular units like they are making them right now, on the Hive's, Re-Reforged) and overall the camera work where you would have to think how the models need to work from above when you are in the playfield; the models are supposed to be identifiable. I want you to all ask yourself this question: HOW DO WE INNOVATE WITHOUT STRAYING TOO FAR FROM THE ORIGINAL?! Reforged has none of this and they stray WAY, WAY, WAY off. Unfortunately, most of the modding community that focused on a remaster also failed in Blizzard's regard to realize this and the Hive Workshop even asked us if we want a remaster... most of us said no. They continued anyway to 'speak' to Blizzard, as we were told, and were preparing the Hive Workshop for the new look for Reforged as they announced. I didn't like how their avatars were changing, how their model looks were changing (On the Hive), and when Blizzard released their own version... even the Hive Workshop had better-looking models than that which was provided in Reforged. Why didn't they go with something like - www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/nathrezim.291586/ - THAT?! Like, Hive Workshop and Blizzard alike? Why didn't you do this?! You still don't do this. You do not think this through and it frustrates me. Stop bending over. In fact, why ARE YOU? They literally claim now, it says, anything that you make, custom or not, as their own? Hello?! I mean, you will still go back and enjoy your game. Please do... But I will not play a Re-Reforged, I will not play Reforged and I will not play any game that doesn't even resemble the original. It doesn't resemble the original at all and in no form innovates. That is why I hate Reforged and I have a distaste for those who do not know why the original was perfect for an RTS genre. However, they will also never realize that not everything has to be fucking HD. Why does everything have to be HIGH RESOLUTION and HIGH DEFINITION nowadays?! Why?! I still play the Old Version of Warcraft 3, before Reforged, and I am playing Custom Campaigns that most of us are unable to make anymore. I am enjoying them a lot more than this crap and today's Hive Workshop community does not resemble the same community I was once a part of. This is not just a goodbye to Blizzard but the Warcraft 3 community entirely. So fuck you, Blizzard, and good luck Hive, I truly mean it. I hope they pick up and fix this shit, but they won't. I have absolutely zero faith ever since they claimed every property YOU make as their own. I don't feel safe, happy, working for a money-grubbing company such as Activision-Blizzard. Go fuck yourself, Blizzard, would you kindly? Regards, a WTII Fan.

They did everything they could possibly do wrong in a single product and to top it off they destroyed what little faith people had in blizzard. The only reason I pre purchased the game was because Blizzard used to be a company that even if the game wasn't fun, it was polished and some people could at least enjoy playing it (I didn't mind Diablo 3 and Heroes of the Storm and enjoyed it up to a certain extent). They have finally crossed the point of no return with this by scamming the fan base with broken promises.

I remember the promises were the developers vision of the game. It's the corporate high ranks who crush that vision, forcing developers to rush the game and have to make adjustment to what they originally dreamed of. The reason Blizzard accepted the developers vision of the game, because this corporate high ranks are not programmers or game designers, they are corporate business man and just assume it will make them a lot of money. It's sad that the developers are the one being called a liar and scammer by the some people when they themselves didn't wish for any of this to happen.

God man this vid is a year ago and I still come back to watch just to remember exactly what Blizzard did wrong. This game was literally my childhood, as this was my first video game to EVER play. (literally first playing this when I was only 3 years old) The amount of custom maps that I had made and custom campaigns of memories of my childhood imagination were gone just like that. I lost everything to either blizzard taking all of my custom stuff or literally because everything I had was corrupted when I tried uninstalling reforged and redownloading the OG games. I’ve literally lost a HUGE chunk of my childhood here and I’m sorry if that sounds very dramatic I get it but this game was literally something that me taught valuable life lessons, gave me YEARS of entertainment and fun, and now all of a sudden it’s all just gone. I won’t start crying and getting extreme but it really does upset me how far Blizzard has forsaken itself. I only hope that one day they can redeem themselves

I feel like it's an important thing to note. When remastered launched, they completely rewrote my custome game folder. I had like so many GD custom maps of 80 iterations of the same version map, so I ended making sub folders so I didn't have to wait 3 minutes for the custom map folder to load. Destroyed my folder higherachy and anything that wasn't straight in the downloads folder, didn't survive, they literally deleted everything that wasn't a warcraft map from that root folder, i.e. external folders. If I didn't have my warcraft 3 install on a old ass HD from an old PC I would have lost a large chunk of my maps.

I can confirm Russian dub being outright bad. It conveys little emotion and is about as wooden as new character portraits. Russian WC3 fans are particularly upset about them recasting Arthas - his new voice actor (I know, the director is probably at fault here as well) speaks like he's bored out of his mind and has no authority whatsoever. Ground units, who in the original sounded like army guys should - with short and snappy energetic voice lines now too sound bored as all hell. I've played very little reforged, but to my ear, Thrall too sound like he has lost that "oompf", like there's no enthusiasm in his speech. Although several character and location name changes could be chalked up to them trying to make it more WoW-like (I didn't play WoW), it also sounds kind of jarring to me.

For being WoW-like that's fine, that's one of the first things to fix in rather erratic translation we got, but the dub's quality is so, so much worse. Peasants and Peons have "stupid dung ages" voices just like in English, when it does not work at all in Russian (they instead sounded somewhat tired and simple but completely intelligent in original dub). Not to mention that original dub is so iconic that it is pretty much one big meme for people here: "Ziggurat must be constructed" is the local analog for the pylons.

The level to which this was botched is legendary. I loved the original WC3, I played it for years and to see this... makes me feel a deep anger in the pit of my soul. It would be one thing if this was just a bad remake but its not. Its a horrible remake that destroyed the original game! It seems like they made every possible wrong choice, every worst shortcut was taken, all the scummiest corporate mandates were put it. They systematically killed every part of what made WC3 such a good game. Character from the units? Gone. Some of the funniest voice lines? Gone. Everything that made the Battlenet the insane success it was for years after WC3 was released? Gone. That last one is probably the sorest point for me because 1. Being greedy pieces of trash and laying claim to everyone elses work is the scummiest thing ever, and 2. the banning of 3rd party IP together has effectively murdered any chance of it having a thriving custom map community again. And of course there are all the broken promises and the initial denial of refunds. How the game itself is just plain broken, how it cost a pro player who CLEARLY was the winner in twice the victory over a much more seasoned and renown played (nice touch not even giving him an equal amount of prize money as Moon after cheating him out of his victory twice btw). Its just... infuriating to see what should have been, hands down, the easiest success story they could have ever had so completely fucked up. Seriously this was fool proof... but I guess it wasn't ActiBlizz proof.

Those who bought the game for nostalgia purposes, would still buy the Reforged game, and Blizzard will still get their money. Why merge the two together and make the fan base go on a chaotic raging state? They can't be that stupid! Just leave a small portion of the budget to create a new main menu for the game and MMR system and that's it. No need to destroy the good stuff you already made before. But then again, it was all just to prevent a second dota going out of their grasp, which is never gonna happen again. Trust me on that regard. Dota was a one time thing.

As a software engineer, I feel for the developers. The potential scope creep on a project like this is *insane*. Tons of extra features were promised, but just getting the original game working in a new shell was enough work. I've felt the pressure of those deadlines, it is really painful, whether you back away from the feature altogether or push it out in a non-ideal state, it sucks. The sad thing is that the final textures and visual display of that new shell are so awful that none of it should exist. I'm sure that haunting reality has set in for many developers, these are the kinds of things that cause people to leave an industry forever. If I had to play project manager on this, I'd: - spin up Classic TFT and RoC on their own servers again, just as it had been for years without all the new EULA stuff - demand EULA changes or riot - put everyone, even UI people, on stabilizing the game for MP and working out visual kinks that make the game look like trash and run even worse, even if this causes people to work in a non-optimal area for their given coding expertise - add key binding UI - completely overhaul menus At least with this the game would be playable in its current state, which should be the highest priority. From there you can go full No Man's Sky on the thing and give us the game we wanted over the next couple years (since the Classic team is small and if Activision is funding any more remasters they're absolute idiots). Just my 2 cents.

I was expecting this game to be released in either late 2020 or early 2021, considering the game engine is very outdated compare to current PC tech + i world edited this game since 2009 so i know how gigantic the classic game is. The re-coding of the entire engine is extremely necessary if you want to implement HD models and better or more dynamic cutscenes but it is also extremely time consuming. In addition, the re-coding also have to take in account the custom maps which will run improperly on the new engine unless being tackled with many trials and errors. And by 'improperly', i don't mean simple thing like desync, green and red boxes. It can crash the game every time you start the custom game if the coding is not proper with the old custom maps. It is absolutely not a job that even 200 people can finish with that amount of time Acti gave to Reforged.

I myself am and know many friends that opt to work on their yet unreleased map on older patches instead. There is also demoralization going on, like my friend who I inspired to get into map making a year now just dropped working or playing it which isn't making me happy either. :( Anyway, love u and ur channel as always. 🤘 We got Soo wasted by Reforged 😔

i am looking forward for resident evil 3 remake which will come at 3rd of april, so i know that capcom wont screw up anything, the same way they had a success a year before with remake2, they announced that game after 3 years of working on it, a good example when you can trust the devs to do their job right.

I actually disagree with your statement that they were passionate about the game. Their conference quotes regarding the art style, in my mind, proves they didn't go into this project with a love of the game. They spent a good long while trashing WC3, suggesting it looked like trash and wasn't up to modern video game standards. They went in thinking "this game is broken and we must fix it." With Starcraft: Remastered, the team ran into a problem with their upgraded graphics. It just.... Didn't *feel* right. Then it struck them. The perspective wasn't consistent in the original artwork. So rather than decide to fix it, they decided Starcraft was fine the way it was and changed their artwork to match the screwed up perspective of the originals. They weren't trying to fix Starcraft, they were trying to polish it up a little bit. That said... I have given the game a year and... I uninstalled it today. Its clear they don't care. They don't care about the fact they've permanently destroyed custom games, they don't care about the fact they've completely erased Reign of Chaos from history, they don't care about the stability issues that still plague the single player experience a year later.. I'm done with it. And I guess I am done with Warcraft 3 since they took away my functional client to give me this trash.

Great vid man, thanks for making it. represents the true passion of the fans and does pretty well in showing the contrast of what war3 was and what it is now. It's not so much the small (and large) things that have changed, but the overall intent and feeling of the company now , *behind* those changes... it's like the've gone in the opposite direction of everything the original company stood for. Cheers for making these videos, it reminds us of amazing the Game once was, for me it stll exists like this. Peace

Breaks my heart but Blizzard won't learn as it seems. Thanks though Wtii, I am watching you now for years from now and then and you keep it alive. Thanks for all the hard work and endless content you created!

(and it is not even an ordinary bridge, or a bridge that was in the background, going unnoticed but it is a very important wc3 bridge since Tyrande almost lost his life in it)

I just want to say that the menu running on Chrome isn't the problem by itself. It's running on Chromium, a development tool and Reforged is not the only game that does this. Dota 2's menu for example, runs on Chromium as do a staggeringly large amount of things on the internet and gaming scene. The problem with Reforged's menu is not Chromium as it's an extremely versatile tool that would function better than an in-game menu if properly optimised. The problem is that it's not properly optimised, like much of Reforged.

The thing with localizations... every language had it's own shortcuts to your units/movement/anything... So for example with a Peon you would have a different shortcut for opening building menu in German language for example than you have in English. I guess you knew that already, but my friend who plays Warcraft since we were doing fun lans in our neighbourhood back in early 2000 to this day and I've never seen him so heartbroken like when I asked how the Reforged is doing. He never drinks, but when I asked him, he instead told me if I'm down for a beer so I guess it speaks for itself... I just couldn't care less about nowdays Blizzard... they can do whatever they want, but they'll never do anything right. Think what you want, but fuck them and fuck anyone who is associated with them.
