I played Stress test today (again). And yes. I still think that graphics are outdated. I loved everything (except few inconveniences which will be covered by addons as they were 14 years go), the walky quests, the quests which return you to the place you’ve already been, the killing time taking forever™, inability to wear green for few dozens of levels and first green being an epic in my e…
I understand #nochanges when it comes to gameplay. But why not make the game look visually better? For the life of me, I don’t get this.
Better graphics are just…better. If you have two versions of the same gameplay, 1 with worse graphics and 1 with better, why wouldn’t you want to play the one with better graphics, textures, lighting, etc.
Or just have a graphics option in the menu. Classic or improved graphics.
Thoughts?
I’m sure it’s been put out there before. Probably many times.
Have there been internal discussions on how to attract more people to the game who aren’t returning for nostalia’s sake?
There was something very special about World of Warcraft when it came out. The interactions between people and guilds, the difficulty leveling, the customization of characters (even if you wanted to try something unusual and non-optimal)
I think it would be great to create an option in the client to make use of…
Ok first off sorry for the rant but I am very passionate about this and I have been seeing so many people complaining that they do not want to see any new graphics on beloved WoW classic and basically People like them are really going to ruin this, i honestly only play vanilla and still do play private server vanilla and only like vanilla wow, I still have dreams of the good old days playing vanilla and was overjoyed that it is coming back and also TO SEE CLASSIC TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL. Dont get …
I’m baggin’ for someone explain my why, in Elune’s name if vanilla wow have a toggle button that change the models/graphics to the new one on the Vanilla server would not be Classic.
That’s make ZERO sense, the old graphics aren’t bad, but they are dated, and I would be cool if the new one was an option.
The argument “Then wouldn’t be Vanilla bro” is so stupid, Vanilla is gone, and can never me emulated again. What else do you want? Blizzard to restrict the bandwidth so everyone have a trash i…
Took my literally two seconds to go into the top right search box and type in “Graphics” and I came up with. Not hard look it up, mate.
That’s the thing about well designed games. Graphics mean absolutely nothing in the long run. So this point is null and void.
Next!

Go play retail if all you care about is aesthetics. Again it’s about game design not graphics. Graphics mean nothing in the long run. All graphics get outdated with time.

I imagine Duskwood with modern lighting, fog, textures, tessellation, updated buildings and trees, monsters/player models, etc. But without changing the original system timing or size. (basically so a person could play the game in either modern or classic graphics) This would really draw in new players.
This is all conjecture.
