I'd imagine even in the best case case scenario for a fanboy, we won't hear about it for a while, I'd imagine?
I dont want to get my hopes up either, but here are a few things that are different this from other times, most notably that blizzard (who I by now doubt that they themselves believe anything they publicly say about wc3) didnt say anything yet, but other parties are showing hints that something is up: -progamers are getting visa for the USA. -Neo (and until today, remo), have been conveniently busy and have barely commented except for basically saying "we are aware there are rumours", whereas otherwise they are very active in many communities, including this site. -According to spaceman (wc3 youtuber), youtube has only in the last days added a "wc3 tft" game tag whereas before there only was "wc3 roc".

They ruined what? What was going on in Brood War before Remastered happend? The scene must have been MASSIVE...or? And post numbers, not just feelings

There's been a lot of problems with lag in BW and features not working properly. The foreign scene wasn't massive but Fish was VERY significant with large numbers.

Yeah.... keep in mind Neo and Remo have been under NDA for like months so its plausible they're in the know as well.
Especially because like, Neo and Remo always have these Youtube videos hyping up possible news like their video to the Chinese audience, an upcoming patch announcement, and the Hive guys going to Blizzard.
Somethings up.

Unfortunately I'm doubtful of that. If anything we'll get some sponsored streams and some invitational tournaments like they did with BW.
I wish they would support the competitive scene in BW and WC3 more like pre 2010 days....
The good news is that Netease DOES support the scene.

F2P multiplayer based on Warcraft 3, with an active balance team that occasionally adds new heroes
No all-new campaign, but Warcraft 1-3 remasters and DLC campaigns based on WoW events (Nova Covert Ops length)
SC2-style co-op mode
Skins for heroes instead of units to make it visually cleaner than SC2
As much as that would be cool, very very doubtful because the Classic team is not very big at all. Even Team 1 had to decide to either support mini campaigns or Co-Op Commanders mode, not both. Not to mention that would require additional monetization.
However, what I would LOVE to see, if there is ever this mythical, mystical big patch we've been kinda hyping up on this thread since like....2015.... I think them adding a new hero would like be the best fucking announcement ever. That would generate so much hype on traditional gaming outlets and bring a lot more people to the game.

yeah, I don't necessarily think they NEED all the features i listed, but the idea of them not just remastering WC3, but putting a team on it for active development of new content (SP, MP, or both) would be really cool
anyone know who are the people responsible for the balancing? crazy to think blizzard have the guile to keep on adjusting the numbers after all these years.

After all these years? The last balance patch is 7 years old: TfT was active balanced patched for maybe 2 years
seeing madfrog's name actually makes my heart jump. I remember hearing he went to become a policeman? And then just disappeared off the face of the planet.
