Been a while since I’ve touched anything Blizzard-related, but I’m pretty sure the naga don’t have feet, so that adds a whole nother layer of incompetence to the patch.
Has Blizzard at least fixed the classic client?
There's nothing to fix if there is no classic client anymore.
No plans to restore it? Any leaks or official statements?
AoE 2 had two remasters and iirc the first remaster (HD edition) was also shit.If I had to guess, this entire debacle is a product of Blizzard as a whole going down the shitter in the last years. They are a multi-b/million dollar company, yet can't deliver basic RTS features months after release? It's pathetic and it shows they either don't care or can't mobilize well enough. Or both. It's made doubly worse by the other RTS remaster, AoE2 (and 1 to an extent), being very successful and not shit.

They don't even have feet, wtf."Naga units now have footprints in Reforged mode".
I haven't really heard anything like that and I'm pretty sure everyone played the HD edition before DE was released.AoE 2 had two remasters and iirc the first remaster (HD edition) was also shit.

Mmm, let's be honest here, this remaster looked shit the moment they revealed what it's going to look like.
Maybe MediEvil? I've never played it but the remake looks fine, I guess. I personally prefer the early 3D, but I'm weird like that. Refunded failed to retain the original aesthetic, which is a big no-no when attempting remakes/remasters.Though, can you think of any remaster of a 3D game that went beyond widescreen fix/modern OS support and ended up good?
AoE2's HD edition introduced a fresh wave of bugs and performance issues into AoE 2 that it didn't have before, and wasn't very HD either. It was basically an excuse release to charge a big price, which made it fairly unpopular with the oldschool AoE crowd. The multiplayer started running a lot worse too. Have a list. These aren't small bugs.I haven't really heard anything like that and I'm pretty sure everyone played the HD edition before DE was released.AoE 2 had two remasters and iirc the first remaster (HD edition) was also shit.
The Resident Evil 2 remake seems to be quite widely beloved, at least? Though I'm not sure what the circlejerk opinion about it is on this forum.Mmm, let's be honest here, this remaster looked shit the moment they revealed what it's going to look like.

Maybe, but that's a list from 2013. I didn't follow AoE2 HD edition at all before the DE was announced, and from my limited experience I think everyone was playing HD at the end?AoE2's HD edition introduced a fresh wave of bugs and performance issues into AoE 2 that it didn't have before, and wasn't very HD either.

Once you start remaking models, costs climb really high and I think Activision/Blizzard announced the project without thinking how much it would cost to do it right and then they said 'fuck it, let's release it and forget about that'
The short end of it is: AoE 2 HD edition was a botched launch that was much buggier and less playable than regular AoE 2 was, with development staff blatantly ignoring the majority of bug reports and complaints. Age of Mythology's HD edition is also more popular than the original (re-releases have a way of doing that), but the original is still a much less buggy experience with its own multiplayer community (on voobly). It just so happens that when HD re-releases are done, the original non-HD versions suddenly become difficult to get a hold of. If the HD edition were as good as you impute, they would likely not have done a DE re-release with a different developer. It's not like AoE2HD's dev (Hidden Path Entertainment) has gone out of business.
It always amazes me that remastered versions that are only supposed to replace graphics manage to introduce new defects.
Ok, I'm really craving some WC3 action. Has this reforged bullshit been patched and improved or is it still a steaming pile of shit? Jesus fuck it's such a missed opportunity I just can't accept it.
I haven't heard anything about it and I think they've more or less abandoned it. This isn't going to get better. The horrible undercooked state it was in at release just screams "we don't want to pour more resources into this", so why would they continue improving it after that? A Final Fantasy 14 situation this ain't.Ok, I'm really craving some WC3 action. Has this reforged bullshit been patched and improved or is it still a steaming pile of shit?
