Can't help but have hope. Please warcraft 4.

YES. PLEASE.

And they just announced StarCraft for Hearthstone or a separate one?

EDIT
Oh it is just a StarCraft card set.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Can't watch the stream, any details on the WC3 updates?

Yes, it's out today along with WC1 and 2 remasters.

You can customize different visual modes. They are also adding some quality of life updates, a lobby system (need to read up more on this). It is all available today.

Haven't played Hearthstone since before Naxx... Worth getting back into?

So far it's a nothing burger...

Updated WC1/2 and 3 is pretty big and if they announce WC4. That will just be crazy.

Let's not hold our breaths then
I've played all Warcraft RTS when they came out back then, to be honest, i don't have the desire to play them again soon, so much backlog
It's great for people who have never played them before and were turned off by the dated grfx though.

 

[sainraja]

I know people love World of WarCraft but I think it was the worst thing that could have happened to WarCraft as a series... Blizzard does not seem very interested in RTS genre anymore but given the remasters hopefully, hopefully, they are working on something.

 

[Hookshot]

I thought the point of classic was to undo the Cataclysm? But now it's up to Panda islands?

haha fair enough... just being hopeful. I am happy about the remasters nonetheless. The battlechest is also discounted if you already own reforged.

 

[Lootlord]

Classic Classic? wtf.. but i might dip into MoP, it's one of my fav expansions and i think it got too much undeserved hate back then cause of the pandarens

 

[Krathoon]

What always annoys me about Blizzard is that they charge a little too much for their remasters.

If you own reforged, you shouldn't have to pay the full price of $39.99. I paid like $15.

I fell off but have always found it fun. I just couldn't keep up with all the expansions. I had bought all of 'em except for any released this year.

 

[Saber]

I agree. Alot of nothing that looks more like simple touchs that does not justify the price and neither the number 2 on W3 patch number.

Blizzard seems to love World of Warcraft more. They are adding new stuff to WOW classic. Why can't they do the same for WarCraft 3?

 

[Lootlord]

The thing that i'm most hyped for is the goblin zone and raid, that's actually cool.

So what was that "big announcement" at the end with your adventure starts at home and then they showed the logo of the next (already known) xpac? heh
What am i missing here?

 

[sainraja]

No WarCraft 4 =[

Darn. Was really hoping for it. Ah well.

It was a teaser for player housing.

I think the midnight was it. When they said one more thing.. my heart dropped and I was expecting WC4 but nope. Damn it Blizzard lol.

 

[Spukc]

this was it? only music for now?

 

[Lootlord]

Yeah i got that now... but i couldn't care less tbh.
Very disappointing

 

[Caffeine]

this patch overhauls, the environments and lighting and revamps the user interface. In addition, we are uprezzing all classic Warcraft III assets to HD. You can now customize the type of assets you want to play with and even mix and match if you like. We've also included a bunch of quality-of-life changes, such as in-game hotkey customization, a revamped ladder, and much, much more.

here was a quote for wc3 2.0

It's over. Now it is just music yeah.

I looked it up, Naxx was over 10 years ago lol so I'd be going in as a total newb. And I can't recall the battlenet login for that old account anyway.

 

[Krathoon]

Ok. WC1 Remastered is stuck on the loading screen. Yeesh.

 

[Spukc]

let us know how it is!
i want some screenshots so imma dip in too

 

[Krathoon]

For some reason, I can't get past the loading screens for both WC1 and 2 Remastered.

Soooo, that is a bug.

 

[Krathoon]

Also, the original WC1 loads in DOSBox and they did not bother to make it run fullscreen.

Sigh.

 

[dispensergoinup]

At work so I caught it late.

Just the player housing tease, goblin, raid, and everything else classic stuff? Anything else?

patches just came out

 

[Krathoon]

patches just came out

I ran WC1 Remastered again and it worked. It is a pretty good remaster. Feels like the orignal, but with sharper graphics.

 

[amigastar]

Fix what exactly?

I only have read about it but apperantly cutscenes are inferior to the classic ones
Missing online features etc.
For me mostly Singleplayer seems to be underwhelming and thats what important to me.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Anything new for WoW?

The monthly sub fee is outdated. Make it F2P model.

I assume any kind of reboot/sequel of WoW will happen after the currently announced expansions release, right?

as it seems now they want to finish all these stories they started in the wow the last titan expansion so if there were any significant overhauls to stuff it would be after that in like 6 years from now lol.

 

[Krathoon]

I assume you can just jump to the latest expansion as usual? I may show up for the final one.

 

[Krathoon]

I kind of like the original briefing artwork on Warcraft 1 better than the remastered artwork.

I don't get why they didn't just keep it.

The artwork on the Warcraft 2 Remaster is totally fine.

 

[Krathoon]

They took out the animations on the WC1 Remastered briefings and it is annoying me.

I may just play the original on that one.

Good thing is the original is included but odd that they would just remove it.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. They needed to leave that stuff in. It is part of the game's charm.

 

[Rush2112]

Fresh classic servers starting next week. GDKP strictly banned. Sounds great I’m in.

 

[sainraja]

Yeah. They needed to leave that stuff in. It is part of the game's charm.

Agreed.

I hope you didn't have any of your older games linked with that although it probably doesn't matter as those won't give you a discount on these newer versions anyway so maybe you are okay to start a fresh account. When I took somewhat of a break from gaming Hearthstone was the game I would still play haha.

 

[Arsic]

Disappointed to say the least. Nothing exciting to me.

Classic classic? Really? We are this out of ideas? What the actual fuck…

 

[RJMacready73]

Would love a console release tbh

 

[sainraja]

Would be interesting to see how they would translate it.

They should have given us more content for WarCraft 3 if they weren't gonna give WarCraft 4.... but yeah, classic classic. lol.

 

[Hookshot]

Replayed some Hearthstone and quickly remembered why I stopped. I hoped it would scratch the slay the spire itch but you just trade blows for a bit until someone gets a usable win card. I might pick through the free stuff with Arthas etc but I don't see myself buying runes.
