Classic Graphics

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I for one love the way ultra looks on classic wow. Need an example? Go walk around duskwood with ultra on. It looks incredible.

NOW. Knowing this. Let’s apply this to my wow view.

Immersiveness!

There is a night… it is darker than day. It rains sometimes. It’s foggy some days. It snows in some areas.

Not to mention they added the edit mode where i can reduce the icons on my screen to practically nothing. Great… more screen = more immersiveness.

More environmental textures and sight distance… shadows… water textures great!

However there’s the elephant in the room here. I like classic wow “i wack you with a stick”. Retail seems overly flashy. They seem to have went over the top with like “the magical feel”, and less “the raw, medieval feel”. Which is where it loses me.

What say you guys?

Retail graphics are mechanical improvements but not my idea of what looks Good.

And everybody just accepts the design regressions with it.

Whatever changes they make will almost certainly be the thing about the game that is the reason some people prefer Classic.

I just miss the snow effects from Dun Morogh. Somehow Blizzard forgot how to make it snow :frowning:
