I just logged into Classic for the first time in awhile but I am super impressed with the updated HD textures. It looks better than in retail. Im surprised the same tech hasn’t been used there yet.
They’re just using the textures from Retail.

They look much higher resolution than whats in retail. Even the loading screens look crisper.
You are completely wrong. I just posted a side by side. Why go out here and lie?

They still have all the old models with block hair and stuff tho. So no thanks.
Could it be different settings between your clients?

This. My retail textures look like the more HD one in your comparison picture.

They use far better graphics now that’s for sure. This toon I have here is from SoD. I was not able to make a toon this crisp looking in the original version of Classic. If our SoD toons go over into regular Classic after this, then I hope this toon still looks like this and not like a blob of black hair on my head with a squished face and no more facial detail. My pally from original Classic vs my SoD one…SoD version looks so much better even when I used the same exact starting screen selection to make it.
If after season is over these toons do go to regular version. Some say SoD TBC… that might be hectic though.
Have you experimented with the Graphic settings to get standard edition, aka “retail” to look like like cata classic?
you cant. retails resolution on the textures is just worse. its not really about the character models for me at least but gear itself. and the only example i can give is T3 Bonescythe armor that im currently trying to finish collecting on retail, the lines and the gear itself is extremely pixelated no matter what i do to the settings. in cata classic on my toon that i got T3 during classic naxx, the definition in detail right now is insane. its like night and day difference. but im by no means an expert in this. its just crazy that cata classic has a HD texture resolution update to make stuff like that old gear upscaled and look pretty, but no matter what i do in retail it aint getting that clean of resolution.

There’s a difference?
what a useless post
They are likely testing the waters to implement the textures in retail. I’m sure at some point they will be updated.
