I have to say that Blizzard really nailed the atmosphere and music in the new zone, absolutely breathtaking.
But…
But that skybox…why? It’s literally just a static image, where are the nether swirls (other than the two near the world soul), the moving stars, moving space objects like meteors, etc.
15+ years ago Blizzard brought outland and Northrend to life with amazing looking skies, and even the final patch of legion had three seperate zones on argus with really detailed skyboxes.
I really, REALLY hope it doesn’t become a practice for blizz to create these lazy static images in the sky that just completely break any sense of worldbuilding and immersion. Were in 2025, like is this really going to be what we get as game environments? Frozen images?
(This obviously won’t resonate with people who just sit in queues for keys all day, sorry)
