Your reasoning goes out the window once you see how many problems have already been reported in the PTR and are still in this version | ||

In the end, the vanilla version of BW is likely of very little importance to Blizzard. I mean, this is kind of a matter of fact rather than up for interpretation. When else have we ever seen Blizzard shove stuff out the door in a giant mess? Bug here, gamebreaking bug there is normal for Blizzard, but this is like an alpha version. Either they don't have a QA team (unlikely) or this is an intentionally aggressive method of meeting their more important deadline. | ||

Out of pure egoism (wanting to play the game like im used to) im gonna stick to 1.16 until 1.18 has more to offer. Which includes ladder for me and tournaments on the server. | ||

They most likely don't have a QA team for this project, as can be seen by the state of the first PTR. They could also have a terrible one. Regardless, remastered success lies very close to vanilla, so releasing a mess of a patch is not a good idea. Surely it is an 'intentionally aggressive method', but it's also a 'horrendously retarded method' | ||

At this point, I'm relatively certain this was some dumb manager or an idiot executive saying "we have a deadline to meet, I don't care how broken it is, just release it". The patch is literally unplayable for pro players. I suspect that they have a schedule leading up to the release of SC:R in the summer and the patch may have already been "late". Therefore they just shoved it through so they could stick to the deadlines instead of adjusting the deadlines. It really is unfortunate, but at least we still have 1.16 to play on, while Blizz fixes its trainwreck of a patch. | ||

Regardless, remastered success lies very close to vanilla, so releasing a mess of a patch is not a good idea. Surely it is an 'intentionally aggressive method', but it's also a 'horrendously retarded method' All sources close to or in anyway involved with Blizzard's classic game development have said they have a surprisingly large team. Blizzard has done QA for a long time and if the team is already large, I doubt the QA team is small or nonexistent. When you consider how much BW has been on Blizzard's radar the past 5 years, it makes sense that they would be brazen with their patching for the sake of the holy grail: BW remastered. The people Blizzard are trying to reach with BW remastered are not likely to give 2 shits about playing classic BW. I played BW on ICCUP years ago, but I don't give 2 shits about classic BW when remastered is right around the corner. I don't see any reason to waste time with 1.18 classic when 1.16 is solid and 1.18 remastered is on the horizon. There is going to be very little reason to ever play classic BW once remastered is in full gear. This is a step towards something greater. | ||

I have already tried to change the defeault language on my blizzard account to english and download it while logged in, from the english page, but it does not work. The issue is that with the game in french, I get french hotkeys, which are just not playable. Could you tell me how to install the english version of the game please? Those language settings are for the Blizzard App (Formerly Battle.net App), which is for recent games. You have to uninstall Starcraft 1.18 and delete the \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Classic Launcher\s1t registry key (Use RegEdit). Then reinstall Starcraft 1.18. You should have an option to choose language again. | ||

Part of the marketing was that BW classic would be on the same servers and compatible with Remastered w/o any difference, so it's not that surprising that people are bitter. | ||

After this patch I'm wondering if classic will be compatible or "compatible" (as in, yea it works, kinda, sorta, not really) with SC:R. | ||
