![]() These updates should help put WC3: Reforged in a much better position, allowing for a smoother and complaint-free release. The patch may not be everything the game needs to have the perfect launch, but it’s a promising start. We’re working on adjustments to the washed-out team colors making Wisps or similar elements with transparency faint in classic. The original game stopped drawing where it met the original UI. Developers note: The camera position moved by 10 percent when we started drawing the game fullscreen to support the new console UI.All locales have functioning voice-over and portrait animations again.Performance optimizations and stability improvements for menus and gameplay.Here are the full patch notes for WC3: Reforged leading up to its release. ![]() Blizzard has attempted to fix the problems with multiple patches, but until today, it has yet to solve the issue. The beta has received a mostly positive reception since it was released in October 2019, but some users, particularly on macOS, have complained about performance issues and stability. But while the hype surrounding WC3: Reforged is impressive, some beta users have experienced serious concern. This one mostly fixes low-end visuals Doom Guards now have the correct sound effects for their air and ground attacks. The classic real-time strategy put Blizzard on the map 17 years ago, paving the way for the biggest MMO in history and inspiring countless games, including Dota 2 and League of Legends. Even after the early exodus, maybe it’ll even work.Blizzard is doing some much-needed handiwork and updating Warcraft III: Reforged ahead of its release on Jan. Who knows? Maybe Warcraft 3 Reforged is trying its own version of a No Man’s Sky reputation repair. This is right up there with “ Diablo Immortal gets a PC beta” in terms of moves I didn’t expect from Blizzard this year. Blizzard also says there will be multiple updates this year, so this won’t be the last such patch that Warcraft 3 Reforged gets. There have also been some balance changes to various maps in the Campaign mode, which is even more of a surprise to me than Blizzard making a patch at all. You’ll need to win five qualifying matches to begin Ranked Play. There will be eight ranks in total - Unranked, Combatant, Challenger, Rival, Duelist, Elite, Gladiator and Champion - and rankings and the ladder will reset at the end of each season. There will even be a special MMR for Random, so if you play Random a lot that’ll affect your MMR too. Ranked Play will involve separate MMR - matchmaking rating, very much not Measles, Mumps and Rubella, that’s a vaccine - for each campaign/race, so you could have a better MMR and thus harder matches for your Forsaken than your Humans or Night Elves. The 1.33.0 patch notes provide some more detail about how this will all work. The launch reaction was so poor that Blizzard wound up offering refunds for the game. These were all removed because Warcraft 3 Reforged was designed to work on modern architecture, and I would say players will be excited to see return but honestly I’m not sure that many people are still playing to get excited about it. Not only is this patch to Warcraft 3 Reforged interesting for even existing, it’s also interesting in that it returns several features that were present in the original version of Warcraft 3, including Ranked Play, Leaderboards, and even Player Profiles. The first of multiple updates coming this year for Warcraft III: Reforged. ![]() It’s a surprising move considering Blizzard’s recent shift away from RTS games and the departure of many of their RTS-focused employees to join Frost Giant Studios, but now it appears that Warcraft 3 Reforged isn’t quite as abandoned as it seemed. Now it appears that Blizzard didn’t forget about the game, because patch 1.33.0 is now being tested on the PTR. We haven’t heard much about the game since, really - it is of course still out there, but the internet moved on to hate something else in due time. It’s not a secret that the launch for Warcraft 3 Reforged didn’t go as smoothly as it could have.
