More specifically, classic players shouldn’t have had to download the Reforged client which changed their UI, stripped them of features, added bugs, and made them download 30GB or so data of Reforged models and graphics that they can’t use. Features that aren’t yet available in Reforged can just be disabled in Reforged, or if necessary on as a whole, but at least classic players would still have these feature in single player and LAN as they always have. But sure, 1.31 has its own advantages and is still much better than Reforged as long as you block it from updating.Īs for 1.31 or a classic version of the game needing its own servers and not having crossplay, I was hoping from the start that classic players (or people opting not to use Reforged features) would have minimal to no disruption of their game client, engine and system requirements, and still be able to crossplay with Reforged players.

Notably it’s before the data migration of 1.28 which changed the locations of game files, and it doesn’t auto update to Reforged like 1.31 did for so many people. It’s the most “pure” version since the classic team started updating the game and therefore has the least amount of changes and bugs. My map is very resource heavy, definitely not working in 1.26.As a few others have said I like 1.27, at least for single player where map size limits aren’t of concern. Why are the reason for us not having it yet? My perfect dreamworld is where we have one 1.31 community for the whole world to play and keep making maps while watching from a safe distance with distrust at blizzard and what it is doing with reforged. How and why you go from one patch to another? What is your aim? Why stick to the 1.26? Is 1.28 your final patch? Will you be making to 1.31 eventually? Why do we need 1.26 communities? If your final goal is the latest pre-reforged version of w3, then what is keeping you from going straight to it now? Human resources? Money to pay to IT people? But since development of my own map takes all my free time, i haven been here for 10 years, so i don't know how you guys operate and what are your goals. I grew up in here playing the real dota many years ago.
