I definitely think they should use the higher polygon stuff, and better textures, but not different ones, just higher quality, same colors and patterns etc. I noticed they had newer ogre models watching a streamer play classic yesterday, instead of the original, so they’ve done a bit.

New models use different animations than the old models. They would need to change the new models to fit old animations.

I’m talking about player characters, not npcs like ogres or troggs.

New models look like crap. Especially the animations and because they dont share a skeleton it is either new or old and old is better.

I’m playing WoW since Vanilla and of course I want to revive that feeling, but come on ! It’s 2019 ! I hope Blizzard gives the choice to switch between old or new graphic styles !

Agreed. I understand people wanting vanilla game design and (potentially) community again, but characters shouldn’t have to look crappy for everyone just to appease a sense of militant nostalgia for some. With an option to turn on new models, it would be a personal choice.

Blizzard should give the option to choose between old graphics or actual. so people can experience same old game in both styles.

Actually this should be optional

Do you want to use Classic or Modern graphics ON/OFF you pick
Do you want to use classic models or modern ON/OFF you pick

Before start the client… Allow the people pick their favorite graphics/models at least forcing you to play like 2004 in every dam aspect is silly

Come on, people. OP used a character with 0 posts to make a thread that we already know the answer to from Blizzard. It’s obvious what’s going on here.

By the way, the models in the beta look absolutely amazing. The devs made the right choice.

I’m just happy that I’ll get to play it in 1440p.

I think in vanilla I was playing in 480? Maybe 720? In 4:3. The resolution improvement alone is going to be huge compared to '05.

That’s a nice bonus, plus it’s on a 64 bit client so it’ll be smoother.

The problem with people like you. EVERY new idea is a trolling post.

Why you dont accept people want aspects of the modern WoW on the classic? why this is so hard to understand.

Any small change is a TROLL and that will KILL the classic-wow. Trust me

EVEN if blizzard tomorow release a “classic-modern-server” with

All races
Group finder
Raid finder
PvP finder

On a “third-option” classic wow-Server this option will have a lot of players. Cuz there are some of us want use new races, we want group finder, raid finder but KEEPING the “GRINDY”, “HARDOCRE”, “High rewarding feeling” of classic wow

So c mon stop being so CLOSED-MINDED and start to accept people have different tastes for the love the god

Might be something they do later, but I don’t see it as a priority for them.

You going to play the game at 480p on an old CRT?

Because if you don’t, it isn’t vanilla.

I don’t remember when they changed it, but WoW initially used 480 because even though widescreens were available, most people were still using CRT’s.

Similar to 4K v 1080.
