They're planning more patches beyond this too.
#When will warcraft 3 reforged come out Patch#
The patch will also address many other known issues, such as fixing some portrait animations and audio bugs, implementing some UI fixes, and more." We expect to release that late this week. We've identified the bug causing the colours and shading to look different from the original Warcraft III, and we're testing a fix that will be incorporated in a larger patch addressing this issue and others. "One of the concerns with Reforged that we've seen are the visuals when selecting Classic Mode. Because classic WC3 has been forcibly patched to run through the Reforged client (in a limited 'Classic' mode without all the new art), there's no going back to the original.īlizzard's statement last night addressed the bugginess: Reforged has bugs that classic WC3 didn't, it's missing several classic features like custom campaigns and clans, and Blizzard now claim even greater ownership over custom maps and modes made by players. Reforged may have fancier models and textures but overall does not come off well in comparison. While Warcraft III: Reforged isn't as horrible as some would have you believe (it's rocking a 0.5/10 user score on Metacritic), Blizzard have dropped the ball - especially considering vintage Warcraft 3 is a game that was, until the launch of Reforged, still in perfectly fine condition. Disappointingly, they also tried to weasel out of building players' expectations for cutscenes.

Blizzard last night responded in a statement, saying they're working on fixes and are "fully committed to supporting the game for a long time to come". The prettied-up remaster's changes are less dramatic than Blizzard have advertised (particularly the cutscenes), it's got quite a few bugs, and players can't even go back to the original unadulterated Warcraft 3 because Blizzard 'updated' it to the same troubled client as Reforged. The launch of Warcraft III: Reforged last Tuesday was not a return to glory for Blizzard's vintage fantasy RTS.
