graphics? no but old content yes!!! old content just has a different feel to it. go back and play eversong woods and tell me there isn’t a totally different feel.
you can tell when they were making the older content it was designed to be fun unlike now where its obvious its designed to hinder player movement with the express intent to make everything take as long as possible.
This isnt nostalgia talking either because i didnt play horde till wrath and even then it wasnt till legion that i made a blood elf.
Graphics? Oh no. Heck no.
Aside from the design of some old player race Icons. Like the male Troll one for example. The new one looks tame, but it’s painted way better.
I prefer old content but modern graphics.
I like Windows 9x UI over Windows 10. I like 1990’s web over the current web because of all the wasted space, hidden controls, and bland design ideas todays web has. I like the graphics on my Dungeon’s of Daggorath game pack for my CoCo over WoW because the game play is more enjoyable then current WoW and that was released in the 1980’s.
Graphics don’t mean squat if you don’t have enjoyable game play that hides the metrics you are trying to farm out of everyone…hic!
I enjoy the older content more than current. Primarily because everything is available already there. Drip release of the current stuff annoys me so I play it for a bit and then go back to leveling alts.
Wouldn’t say I prefer either the old or the new graphics, but I feel like my blood elf model is a bit outdated maybe? You know in old content it looks super high resolution and awesome but then compared to textures in Ardenweald and Revendreth her face looks like a lump of flesh. Can’t explain it any better and I’m not knowledgeable enough when it comes to this to judge if some races just actually are kinda low resolution compared to the new landscapes etc. or not. Maybe someone who knows can tell me.
(same with armor… The tmog looks more realistic than the face)
Give me the pre cataclysm world with current WoW leveling speed and quality of life improvements and I’d be a happy man. New graphics are better.
Hate blocky graphics. Wish bliz would keep the old stuff up to date. (I know it would be a lot of work…)
You have a lot of hatred, you ok?
I love the new character models. This is the main reason I cannot bring myself to play classic. I feel like classic is going back, not moving forward.
It would be nice if they updated the graphics in older zones to match newer expansions.
I don’t go back further than Mists in content these days.
God no. I go back to older zones occasionally and the graphic disparity and detail between then and now is jarring to the point it feels like a new game was layered over the old and it really breaks that cohesive open world feel.
Older graphics need an update big time. Whole expansion dedicated to revamping the old world and make it alive and relevant again. Also, so much open wasted space in the older zones is also annoying. You can walk for minutes without seeing anything meaningful except “large vistas” just to see them…I rather have those minutes filled with interactable/actionable gameplay elements but not necessarily mobs every 10 steps.
All of the graphics in WoW look pretty dated. Playing most any other game on my PC looks millions of times better.
I get it WoW was made for potatoes.
