So it looked like a new login screen was datamined. It looks absolutely horrendous, it goes back to the bright colors of DK that we finally got rid of.
I get some people don’t like the new log in screen, but there are also going to be people who hate the new one. If you have two of them can we get a choice?
Here is the new one
I don’t think it looks bad. I’m not crazy about it either without seeing the animations.
I do like the idea that the portal is closed off, and we’ll eventually see the new area. It’s a nice way to showcase things.
To me its another mostly white mountain scene that we just got rid of. Its subjective taste though and it sucks to loose a login screen I like for one that looks like this.
Its part of the problem with giving people something and than taking it away because others complain. At this point the only way to not make some people irritated is to offer the choice.
Personally I’d love it more if that cracked world thing closes back up again, then explodes out once more revealing the next zone behind the veil – Then the next & the next, and so on 
There’s a new logon screen on beta that’s half way between this and the current logon screen. It still has the firey globe but it is surrounded by a shrouded version of the picture above (which I think is dornogal - the valdrakken of tww). My guess is the next patch will be the beta version and then at launch that this version. Then in patch 11.1 it might show the undermine or wherever we are going.
Would very much prefer if it had nerubian views instead of what seems to be sun shine and rainbows…
I get the lets show dwarf some love but man…. Nerubians are 100x better
Ah I guess that would make sense.
Eh, better than the threat of getting pink eye from the PrePatch Brown Eye login we currently have. So… plus?
Not even joking, I was hoping we would get something like out of Snow White, where the Dwarves are digging in a cave.
The login cinematic could start in a poorly lit cave, with the camera creeping forward. Then we see flashes of light, and it’s the Earthen mining out the cave. The camera keeps rolling forward to reveal that the cave leads into a huge opening or network eventually showing us a city or raid location, and that’s when the music swells and really comes to life.
Mine doesn’t even look that cool. Mine just looks like the cataclysm borken azeroth icon.
Oh nice, looks pretty good. I hope it keeps updating with every patch.
That’d be pretty cool if it closes before each patch and then opens again when the patch comes out.
