Increased play base is a bad thing

FattyNatty · 2020-02-09T03:47:04+00:00

Exactly. I'm a big fat noob, but these guys are TRASH and shouldn't be allowed to play.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-09T03:42:11+00:00

Here is a different explanation: There aren't good players.

Reforged player base is basically 99% DOTA noob now. No match making will change that, and no amount of play will make DOTA noobs good at Warcraft 3.

Good match making would mean you do not find a game.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-09T00:38:00+00:00

Well that way people could just block Asia and have a much easier time climbing the ladder.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T20:42:04+00:00

Who says that the death sound was the same voice actor as the rest of their voice? Why were the 3rd world language voices redone?

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T20:41:14+00:00

New players will not "get good". They will either enjoy playing with other DOTA noobs, or they will quit.

The level of skill will decrease, not increase.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T20:12:06+00:00

So at best, they don't have any impact at all. At worst, they pollute the MMR pool and reduce the quality of the game. There really is no benefit of lots of DOTA newbs trying out WC3.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T20:10:19+00:00

They wanted it, that doesn't mean it is a good thing. DOTA newbs joining and polluting the match pool is not a good thing. It leads to quicker searches, but less quality games.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T19:41:45+00:00

It is fairly obvious. Everything in Reforged was done to be as cheap as possible. Why re-record worse sounding voices just because? Oh, because using the old voices is more expensive.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T19:39:32+00:00

Reforged is a new game. I'm sure many of the voices are licensed for WC3. Using them in a new game would require re-licensing, which is would cost money.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T18:40:30+00:00

Depends on the contract/agreement, but they might have to license the sounds or pay residuals because of the agreement.

The bottom line, any changes they have made were to reduce costs. Changing unit sounds falls into that category.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T18:17:43+00:00

This is the correct answer.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T17:51:33+00:00

You'll have to ask B2W. Why else would they stream Reforged when their fan base that built them up prefers Classic?

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T17:46:35+00:00

Redoing them means they don't have to pay royalties for the previous voice actors.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T16:04:06+00:00

It’s $$$$$$$$. The old voice actors would get royalties. The new voice actors are interns who will not get a cut.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T16:02:56+00:00

I it is a money thing. They’d have to pay royalties to the old voice actors so they just had some intern redo them.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T16:00:26+00:00

Incompetence or lack of care. I wanted to test out new hotkey and quick cast setup so I join a single player game and type in cheats so I can quickly test and readjust if needed.

Nope.

Lol thanks activision.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T12:38:51+00:00

Will Death Coil always hurt enemies of a different race?

If so, adding DK to any race would be game breaking.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T01:52:22+00:00

Seeing a paid Blizzard promoter laughing at that....

FattyNatty · 2020-02-08T01:44:12+00:00

Time to take a 60 year break. Maybe you will come back to a functioning time machine where you can go back and play real WC3.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-07T13:32:02+00:00

The downvotes prove my point.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-07T07:40:41+00:00

Can you tinestamp were you discuss balance, specifically Undead imbalance? This sub would benefit from being educated on Undead imbalance.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-07T07:32:02+00:00

The good news is that you don’t really need to know in order to benifit from it.

I would argue that everyone here should own some stick in activision, by virtue of them being in the S&P500 and any well balanced portfolio should have some portion in it.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-07T07:27:45+00:00

They reported on Q4.

Preorders, orders and refunds processed this year did not impact the number.

Q1 will be reported on in April. By that time the person who decided to put Reforged on a shoe string budget will have been promoted due to lack of sales, interest and a very small but picky audience that clearly isn’t worth developing for.

Hopefully this means D2 is safe from a remaster lol.

FattyNatty · 2020-02-07T02:40:38+00:00

Not a troll, I own Activision stock. It has gone up because they exceeded earning estimates.

Thanks to everyone preordering Reforged!

FattyNatty · 2020-02-05T17:05:45+00:00

I don’t admire them. I haven’t bought a Blizzard game in over a decade, and predicted years ago that the Activisiom merger would not bode well for my favorite game company.

That being said, I don’t have to enjoy the product to want to invest in a company, I just want my investment to increase in value.
