I can't even imagine being someone who had worked on their own custom games/campaigns for the game, only to find them all deleted by an invasive update that forces the new game(and terms) onto you. I've made my share of SC2 maps, where sure, the EULA isn't dissimilar in any significant way, but if I woke up one day to find Battle.Net took it upon itself to delete all of my files I would be fuming. Or depressed, honestly. There really isn't much separating the Reforged update from malware at that point.

Speaking of hotkeys I read somewhere you can’t remap them natively in the game, surely they at least added that feature?

You still have to manually edit the CustomKeys.txt file and activate the option. There is no possibility to modify hotkeys within the game like in SC2.

At least an EULA you have to click that you agree, even though they’re insanely long and worded in legalise that the lay person generally won’t have the patience or expertise to understand. People have won in court cases on such agreements being unreasonable to wade through, although I would imagine that wouldn’t be the case every time.

Presumably original owners of WC3 agreed to a rather different EULA, and haven’t even been given the ‘want to upgrade? Accept these terms’ option.

It’s ridiculous and I really feel for those users affected.

As I said I was aware that this was a thing and even then I didn’t even notice that the update was going through. It’s really not a million miles away from those bits of invasive DRM software that caused users genera system problems.

I think it’s this more than almost any other issue that’s probably pushing me from the ‘I might purchase this when it’s good’ to ‘I’m not giving this company my money’

New patch released with some bug fixes:

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/warcraft3/t/warcraft-iii-version-1321-patch-notes/19379

The patch is 2.2 Go

There are real geniuses working at Blizzard nowadays. To differentiate Classic users from people who bought Reforged, they... removed colors in the background of the main menu for Classic users:

• Developer’s note: We’ve implemented a temporary solution to better inform whether you are playing in Reforged or Classic mode, by applying a sepia tone to the background images for Classic.

And yes, it looks as bad as it sounds:

I don't know what to say, really. Even for "details" like this, they manage to **** up and implement a new downgrade lol. Jesus...

We really needed a reminder that we are too poor for reforged. Next update will feature a pop up every game "too poor to buy reforged loser?" Also, the heck 2GB update for when classic client did not even take 2GB?

Frost Armor (and other effects I guess) appears properly, so they fixed whatever was causing it to be weaker visually.

They changed something with the sounds, something is off. The ambiance noises seemed loud at the start of the game.

Keyboard works again in replays.

They changed the replay path to the BattleNet folder for some reason, seems like you have to transfer your replays there so that they appear in game.

Hahaha that Sepia colour... They should also remove all music and only play the WoW corpsewalk music so you really realize the old game has been killed, and get your 30 euros ready

At least when you're playing classic mode on the StarCraft remaster you're not constantly being kicked in the teeth with it. Holy shit.

Remember guys, this is a "temp solution" to help people know if they are using reforged or not. I wonder what is the permanent solution will be.

Silent movie Warcraft 3 with a rocking piano soundtrack and occasional cuts to a black screen with the dialogue written on it.

Just an ad to buy Reforged that hijacks your whole computer and forces you to unplug it. But on one of those kitchy wooden signs like when Hearthstone crashes.

The permanent solution will be to remain with the temporary solution.

This is why people are saying Reforged is super fucked. With the issues they currently have, some dumb fuck manager was saying "hey but our numbers are low, so shame people into buying the game". So some engineer had to get that disaster running. Fix disconnects? Nah. How about focus on shaming our customers who are apparently so loyal that they are re-buying a 15 year old game. Christ.

Just watch this for a quick overview between what a remaster should look like... and what reforged is. Sad.

Do they plan on fixing other bugs like the new custom game EULA, the custom game report button that nobody wants, the missing ranked ladder, and the unnecessary 30GB download for classic-only users?
