Separate from that, we\u2019ve seen community feedback about different aspects of Reforged that we wanted to take some time to address.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>The issues surrounding Warcraft III: Reforged have been many and far reaching. It includes a broken online infrastructure, a lack of promised features like reworked cutscenes and audio; the removal of features which were in the original Warcraft 3, like clans, competitive ladders and automated tournaments; aggressive ownership of custom content, and the original Warcraft 3 essentially being wiped off the map.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some<\/em>, but certainly not <em>all<\/em>, of these issues are now being addressed in this community update.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOne of the concerns with Reforged that we\u2019ve seen are the visuals when selecting Classic Mode. We\u2019ve identified the bug causing the colors and shading to look different from the original Warcraft III, and we\u2019re testing a fix that will be incorporated in a larger patch addressing this issue and others. We expect to release that late this week. The patch will also address many other known issues, such as fixing some portrait animations and audio bugs, implementing some UI fixes, and more.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On the subject of removed features like competitive ladders, automated tournaments and clans &#8211; Blizzard has plans to reintroduce these. There\u2019s seemingly a lot of juggling going on behind the scenes in terms of what is and isn\u2019t important to WC3: Reforged though. <em>\u201cEliminating the maintenance for underused elements has helped us streamline our overall support of the game and focus on areas impacting the most players.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the promised overhaul of Warcraft 3\u2019s cutscenes has been abandoned. This is because Blizzard didn\u2019t want <em>\u201cto steer too far from the original game\u201d,<\/em> which is odd for a \u00a325 remaster. <em>\u201cThe main takeaway\u201d<\/em>, Kaivax continues, <em>\u201cis that the campaigns tell one of the classic stories in Warcraft history, and we want to preserve the true spirit of Warcraft III and allow players to relive these unforgettable moments as they were (albeit rebuilt with new animations and the higher fidelity art).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This message will placate a few fans but we suspect it\u2019ll do nothing to quell the widespread discontent. Fans, I think rightly, expect the basics of a remaster to at least do the original game justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>System Requirements Low vs Ultra Screenshots GPU Performance Chart CPU List That Meet System Requirements&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1875,264,1877,1234,1876],"class_list":["post-3965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-address","tag-blizzard","tag-issues","tag-reforged","tag-statement"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
