‘We’re going to continue to update the depth of the game’
Warcraft III: Reforgedshould have been a feel-good story for fans, but Blizzard dropped the ball – hard. It’s going to take a lot of time and energy toredeem this remasterand attempt to change the narrative.
A recent patch (Version 1.32.1) brings some much-needed fixes, including one for hitching. It’s a start.
Changes and Bug Fixes
The update isn’t nothing – it’s progress! – but if you were expecting a comprehensive patch, this isn’t it. For the time being,Warcraft IIIplayers will just have to hang tight while they wait for further fixes (if they haven’t requested a refund and moved on). That said, Blizzard has heard everyone’s complaints.
“Our community has come to expect really amazing things from us, and we’ve heard from them that we did not achieve that bar,” Blizzard president J. Allen Bracktold investors yesterdayafter an analyst raised aquestion about “negative press”during Activision Blizzard’s Q4 2019 earnings call.
“We stand behind our games and have consistently shown that not only do we support them, but we continue to build on them even after launch.And we’re committed to doing that here as well.”
“We’re going to continue to update the depth of the game,” he added.
I hope they turn things around, forWarcraft III‘s sake. The game deserves better. It’s an all-time great.
