Blizzard pledges to fix Warcraft 3
Every time Blizzard has been mentioned lately, it’s hardly ever been a good thing. It was only last year that they faced backlash with their decision against Blitzchung due to his ‘liberate Hong Kong’ comments, and now it seems as though they are in the firing line again for Warcraft 3 and the various problems with it.
These problems are, as we said, various. When Blizzard first showed Warcraft 3 during the 2018 Blizzcon, the opening cinematics were completely different from what players have recently received. It only got worse, however, when people felt that Blizzard was shutting down every attempt to criticize the game.
If you’d like to know more about Warcraft 3’s problems, as well as the things it does well, a number of reviews has gone into more detail, some more positive than others.
Since the complaints that have been thrown Blizzard’s way, the company has finally responded on their official forums. Here is only a few words from Blizzard, but the original post explains absolutely everything they company plans to do in order to help Warcraft 3.
“We’ve been following the discussions the past couple days and want to thank you for your feedback as well as your support. First off, we want to say we’re sorry to those of you who didn’t have the experience you wanted, and we’d like to share our plans for what’s coming next.
There were a few hours during launch day where we experienced server-load issues that impacted players’ ability to jump right in, but we were able to resolve those later in the day. Separate from that, we’ve seen community feedback about different aspects of Reforged that we wanted to take some time to address.
Before we go on: the team is excited that Warcraft III: Reforged is finally upon us and we’re fully committed to supporting the game for a long time to come. The next few patches and updates we’ll discuss below are just part of our ongoing plans. This game is an integral part of the Blizzard DNA, with a team that loves Warcraft III, and we’re looking forward to pouring our hearts into Reforged and the Warcraft III community for the long term.”
Will that be enough to satisfy disgruntled Warcraft fans? We’re not experts, but we highly doubt it.
