Even Grubby gave up on new graphics :D

He also thinks that new audio that were added to the game sounds stupid (new peasents deathsound in particular)

And indeed if you make a comparison of old sounddesign with the newly added one, then you can tell there is a big difference for sure. Either you delete the old soundset, or you remain with new one, third choice is to make new ones to sound exactly like their classic counterpart stylistically speaking..

They need to give us the option to toggle off new death sounds (same for skins, by the way). I don't want them, I'm too used to the classic ones to count how many units died.

lul, reports of people losing Warcraft3 classic (which they bought years ago) from their blizzard account after their WC3Deforged refund has been processed.

This stinks of we need to update something to make it seem like we actually improved the game... But we cant change stuff too much because then the players will complain. How about we change the sounds enough for people to notice we changed them and appreciate how hard we seemed to work on Reforged while also not making any real change that would upset people.

There simply is 0 reason to change sounds if you are not intending on really change them anyway. I really can't find a good reasonable thought process that would lead to them doing this change like this

That's interesting.. any source of that?

so only b2w guys still shilling for Reforged now I guess?

That's actually kinda sad, but I understand why they have to do it..

Is anywhere like old Bnet now? I miss chatrooms and how it al used to work VOIP just seems to have replaced that in most games I’ve played the last while. While it is obviously a rather useful feature, it is nice to have the option of typing when you don’t have a mic/have roommates or family and can’t talk much etc.

Not purely because nostalgia it was just better. If they’d added features on top of what was there instead of replacing them, then we could call it Bnet 2.0.

B2W rebuilt the Western scene on passion and enthusiasm, so they have a great deal of good will to use up for me, but they are actively using it up right now. But I'm not going to pretend I am anything less than a huge fan, even still. If anything, it is why I have been critical of them. They built something so great, and Blizzard isn't respecting it.

Remember Incontrol, Artosis, Day9 and others trying to pretend SC2 was fine? Brood lord infestors just needed to be countered? No major problems, nothing to see here? They were so terrified of getting on Blizzard's bad side that they let the game rot. All of the personalities I am describing have admitted what went wrong and how the game declined.

SC2 developers eventually made the changes everyone knew needed to happen but the casters were too afraid to advocate for. Years later, after all the hype had subsided. They let Blizzard off easy and Blizzard didn't return the favor. People need to understand that the old Blizzard is dead. Old Blizzard would have hesitated to even call this beta. WC3 TFT BETA had ladder. WC3 TFT BETA had ladder. WC3 TFT BETA had ladder. WC3 TFT BETA had ladder. WC3 TFT BETA had ladder. WC3 TFT BETA had ladder. WC3 TFT BETA had ladder. B2W basically created this entire community from scratch, but now they have their sights set on something they never would have dreamed of and it is clouding their judgment.

In truth, Khaldor and others trying to squeeze their way back into the WC3 scene now that it is profitable really does mean B2W has to play it safe in some ways. Khaldor being given a casting contract over B2W would be bad for everyone. I'd be amazingly bummed if B2W ended up blacklisted because they stopped holding their tongue. They are far and away my favorite casting duo, the only ones to surpass Tastosis for me.

But they could also just stop using reforged graphics. They don't need to remove their filter and rail on Blizzard. But at least stop using reforged graphics. Props to Grubby for making this change!

Very well said, I have exactly the same thoughts on the matter. They kinda rekindled my love for WC3 around 2016 when I've started watching their casts.. It was an awesome journey, filled with epicness.. but I can't watch them anymore, JUST because of their usage of the new graphics.. I just can't fucking stand how bad it looks.. how clunky it is.. How soulless.. I can't see what's going on on the screen most of the time anyways..

I also dislike the snarky comments Neo is making in regards to many people wanting them to cast in classic graphics again.. Also on twitter. I mean i know why they're casting games in Reforged, I get it.. they wanted to go full time caster for some time already and now the opportunity is ripe for the picking.. But I just can't lie, it is kinda leaving a bad taste in my mouth atm.

They could at least cast some games in the classic mode from replays like once or twice a week for example.. That would be sufficent to please both sides of this dispute, I think.
