i too want the old 1.5 av.
but who knows if it will have the effect that we all want on it?
if it was straight up the old 1.5 av though at least it would be something that happened within vanilla.
Yes?
It turns out that good and bad are relative to past experience or future expectations.
In other words, only you can accurately answer that question for yourself.
I also don’t understand why someone’s against this. It just a graphic for OTHER people ot see, there is nothing YOU will see in their monitors. They aren’t pushing anyhting to your side. And blizzards don’t lose/gain anything from it.
Some people just want to be “muh Nostalgic Thinker Pure Vanilla experiencer” Title.
No one can make a counter argument to a toggle option for new/old graphic. It is just like demand that people would stop making sexy times cause you can’t have one.
Why do you care about something other people will enjoy but you will NEVER see if you don’t want?
I’m also playing since vanilla and I declare that old graphic didn’t age well. Some stuff is okay, but most stuff is outdated and ugly. Textures are dirty and models of some characters/mobs in game make me wanna get some tMorph.
But I don’t running around and yelling that classic should only be with new graphic. It SHOULD be with both options on. I have the same right to experience old gameplay but not bleed from my eyes as you purists want to preserve 99.9% of your nostalgia (which will never be done)
People want a level playing field… different spell effects… different versions of how things look can lend to imbalance.

Nice necro.
But anyway, I’ve been watching a thousand streams and feel completely vindicated. The old models and animations look amazing. It would be so jarring to see BfA models in Classic. The devs definitely made the right decision.

Jesus on a cracker… the environmental graphics are amazing. Why necro threads from months ago to whine?
Edit: and you don’t even notice the models
It looks fantastic!
No changes.
How bout that new water though?

I just wanna necro, baybeh!
But seriously, their last attempt to toggle this sort of thing didn’t go well. Best to let that strategy die off.

Even then they went out of their way to ensure the game would play on low and medium end systems.
People need to realize that classic is not vanilla graphics, because the textures weren’t designed for widescreen monitors that didn’t become standard until 4 years after WoW was released. On top of classic being built n the current engine. It’s modern graphics designed to give the look of vanilla wow.
It worked perfectly fine for the entirety of WoD, until the Legion pre-patch. When they introduced the new animations, they removed the old skeleton and rigged the old models to the new skeleton.
There has been absolutely no one capable of showing any evidence that it didn’t work properly for the 20 months the toggle existed in WoD.

How are different spell effects can lead to anything if you see all effects as old and someone else see them as new? You don’t see anything that other people see with toggle on. How is this justified in your head? I genuinely don’t understand.
Lets pretend that someone using magic spell that makes them naked, but only for their own eyes, how are you suffer from it if you even don’t know this?
This is subjective. They aren’t amazing. They are old and how people are remember them. I like new models/textures and spell VFX more than old. And I would prefer to blizzard give it to me with old gameplay.
Can you link me to that “attempt”? I seriously can’t fathom what can go wrong with something that only people WITH toggle on will see and other will not.
Is TOGGLE option itself triggering people THAT much?
Two people fighting should see the exact same thing (within reason). Two people fighting… one using HD graphics vs. someone using classic graphics could lead to many issues. Have you seen any of the streams? After playing the beta I am nothing but impressed at how well the game runs and how good it looks compared to the original client. If you are asking for updated character models … absolutely not… the gear is not made for those skeletons.

There are people complaining how modern WoW’s grass physics is a nerf to rogues.
Like I wouldn’t mind an option for HD graphics. I’ll play Classic for the gameplay so what it looks like doesn’t matter much to me, but if I could choose, I would choose the modern stuff over the old stuff.

The old gear looks great on the new models, imo. Not like it matter, it’s extremely unlike that there’s going to be a toggle to the new models in Classic.
Maybe a couple years from now but I doubt it even then.
Besides, the old 1.12 client looks just fine on a 1980x1020 LED monitor with the settings cranked to full.
See I completely disagree, on my paladin 9/10 i have a weapon fully clipping through my shoulder because the shoulder pads don’t fit on the skeletons
And are you positive that the weapon didn’t clip back in Vanilla? There’s always been a ton of clipping in WoW.
Not saying it didn’t clip back then, just that the clipping is worse… in most cases it’s a scenario where while my character is moving the hilt of a weapon will fully disappear and reappear over and over again.
I am sure there are cases where the gear or weapons look better on the new models as well.
