Lemonstealingwhore,

I don’t understand the hate for reforged. I played it a lot at launch and it was great for me. I honestly only stopped because the player base fell off so finding matches became a chore. The graphics had been updated, the multiplayer/networking had been reworked, and the custom games/world editor had been improved. As far as I could tell it was just an improved version of the game I loved playing years ago and it brought the player base back. People always shit on it saying it was trash but I legitimately don’t understand why or how. There’s obviously something wrong since everyone stopped playing, but I don’t understand what it is unless I just got lucky and didn’t see some crazy bugs or something.

Lemonstealingwhore,

So the other comment pointed out plenty of things I was unaware of which was helpful especially since I admitted that I didn’t understand what I was missing considering the obvious lack of a player base now. I’m only replying to this comment because I didn’t expect to be called dishonest in a condescending way.

Regarding the lack of the original version, I was aware of that and while it was a bummer, I didn’t consider that to be a game breaking issue to me.

I legitimately didn’t know it removed features and until reading the other reply and watching the linked videos I wasn’t aware of a lot of the changes or even the existence of features like rejoining matches. If I ever got disconnected from a match I just played something else even back in the day. I don’t remember ever having an option to rejoin a match, unless that’s specifically a ladder games thing. I don’t recall getting disconnected from many games though, but I know it did happen. Definitely not enough for me to have been upset about it.

I’m assuming that’s what you’re referring to by missing network features because it still has multiplayer and I’m pretty sure it still has the chat lobbies although I never really used those back then and I don’t use them now either.

As far as me saying the custom games were improved I’d say you’re the dishonest one if you’re saying that’s not the case. They definitely improved custom games and while I don’t know all the changes, an easy one to point out would be the saved ranking system that exists for line tower wars now. That definitely didn’t exist back in the day. The other custom games I played that had reforged versions also had improvements although off the top of my head I can’t think of what those specifics were. They also improved the download speeds for maps in the custom game lobbies. That used to take forever back in the day and I remember people being kicked if they started downloading because nobody wanted to wait. I remember having to download maps from 3rd party sites to get around that.

I don’t play ladder matches so I wasn’t aware of those issues and I only played the reforged campaign a bit with the majority of my time in custom games where I had a blast going back to those old games. That’s why I was confused and understood there was clearly a disconnect in what I experienced and others had issues with.
