We need to talk about textures

Well, in this game sadly we have a lot of verition of quality in textures, there are very bad quality old textures and there is a little bit better ones.

But we are in 2020, they even recommend a SSD but the textures are still from 2010, why they insist to pick up 720p textures? even if the people don’t have the PC you can turn down the option in graphic setting.
Im not talking about the cartoon style, im talking about the quality of textures… update the textures don’t even change the style.

You don’t need a pixel minecraft texture for get a ‘’ cartoony style ‘’ , why they put the worst and basic level of ray tracing in SHADOWS, instead of that they need to improve important things like light and textures, but also textures? TEXTURES

Thank you for read :slight_smile:

I would absolutely love if they updated all the armor from Classic and BC. It wasn’t until Wrath that we started to get some high res armors and weapons.

Mainly, I’d really love to have some high res skimpmogs.

yes for some reason the chest armor is very pixelated, i don’t know why. We have some shoulders that look ok and the chest entire a pixel art XD, even the new ones have that thing.

textures in wow are meant to be seen from a distance. when you zoom in on stuff like gear ofc you will see textures with pixels. it looks prime when at a bit of a distance unless it is 2004-2014 stuff

I totally agree we need hi-res upgrades to a lot of the popular armor sets from early WoW. With the Icecrown pre-expansion stuff, I get to spend quality time with my fellow adventurers and scope out their mogs. Like last night there was a pink-haired NE DK wearing the Boulderfist set, which is pretty sexy but not too crazy, so I checked out what it would look like on me and I was immediately turned off by the lo-res textures that had looked good, but only from a distance.

Part of it is that the game is just so old we actually do have textures from 2004 in the game still.

The other part is that even on new things the game isn’t meant to be the height of graphical fidelity. WoW has had good success in part because the thing can run on the current equivalent of a toaster.

I wouldn’t mind some high-res versions of vanilla armour though. Despite the fact that we made fun of how ridiculous some of those outfits looked at the time, they look tame in comparison to how crazy things have gotten now.

i don’t mean only the old one need hi-res textures, i mean the entire game need a upgrade in textures. New ones are better but far to be 2020 and 15 USD PER MONTH.

Fix the Playstation 1 models too while we’re at it!

At least they can fix all the models with 2020 textures and the items, not the entire world we can wait for it, but man fix those textures !!!
How much money want activision… i just remember when blizzard was a word of quality.

wow gear-wise needs a massive overhaul. It’s 2021, meaning that robes shouldn’t be put on 1 single mapping. There should be layers to all the gear. There is no sense upgrading character models if gear is just flat.

And I know that its no biggie to a lot of people, but I would like to see them stop reusing gear for multiple things. Gear from Plaguefall shouldn’t look like Oribas gear. Most of the dungeon gear looks like recolored pvp gear.

Malodorous Gristle-Sewn Spaulders should look like the name implies, not recolored pvp gear. It’s lazy, and actually embarrassing.
