Have you ever felt that an "upgrade" to a higher fidelity model was actually a downgrade visually?
I think the model update made female tauren cuter.
>>737834371Not the case with this one.
>>737834371yeah world of warcraft looks like total ass now everyone knows this
>>737834371old NE model is so much better, much better face
Classic Nelves were too cute.
Why don't you use an in-game screenshot of the new model using the same customization options instead of a blizzcon screenshot that looks different?Y'know to make the comparison both more noticeable and not look like nitpicky retard shit
No
Am I crazy, or did they never implement the high-res textures into the game? I swear the models don't look anywhere near as clear.
>>737834371nuWoW models are such tasteless tripe it's unbelievable
>>737834371New model took away their hips and womanly shapes / faces to the point that I never saw women playing this shit any more. Any girl I met was on the blood elf-likes
>>737835228>expecting /v/ to not act like disingenuous retardsngmi
>>737835501I look like right btw.
new models have bad sameface
>>737835501Why can female humans be real, bros?
>>737834371Pretty much every time devs change something I feel as if they took something from me
>>737835228>Why don't you install retail
>>737834371Almost all the upgrades in wow were downgradesHumans went from looking normal to crackwhoresGnomes went from being white to swarthyNight elves went from cute to odd looking
>>737834371>Have you ever felt that an "upgrade" to a higher fidelity model was actually a downgrade visually?Yes but it's a tall order to expect the same thing from different artists with different visions. That said the originals were better simply because of the animations. Everything else was superior with the new versions.Still remember how they made the nelf females extremely bouncy during the run animation, it looked so fucking shitty that it was shocking it made it past QA. They fixed that later though and there were actual unironic people who thought that having goofy disney tier bouncy animations was an upgrade.
>>737836913Then die
>>737834371They're narrow hips have always annoyed me
>>737834371It's nothing new. The old '99 era classic Everquest private servers tend to use the old player models before they all got Luclin-ised. They had a certain charm and appeal that they never managed to recapture. See also the difference between the original Overwatch models and what they did for Overwatch 2. Artistic direction almost always drifts with higher graphical fidelity it seems. Heaven forfend some zoomer sees a polygon.
>>737837540>Sir please sir do the needful and download Retail WoWNo.If you're so certain that an in-game screenshot would be wildly different from the Blizzard showcase, take it yourself and post it here.
WoW's charm was that it looked like a combination of a PS2 game with goofy cartoony graphics. I look at alot of the current design choices and they look like something out of a Korean MMO or FFXIV.
>>737834371Yes. Too high fidelity leaves no room for the brain to make up the missing details. For example you can take Vanilla WoW or Warcraft concept art and immerse yourself in and see the world through Vanilla WoW's low poly models compared to retail WoW
generals belong on >>>/vg/
Modern WoW is actually fucking disgusting to look at. It's possibly one of the ugliest games I've ever seen.
>>737840753Don't forget the toddler tier writing and characters. Completely embarrassing to take it seriously on any level.
>>737840659What general is this?
>>737840876The one that gets archived from low posts because no one actually wants to engage with World of Warcraft.
>>737840474Yeah the art style definitely got lost in the rush for higher and higher polygon counts. It was already happening from warcraft 3 going into WoW.
>>737840965Read the OP, this isn't a World of Warcraft general.
What happened to Midnight? It seemed like people were positive on War Within but I haven't heard a single good thing about Midnight.
>>737841196Who was positive on anything relating to WoW recently? They stopped posting sub numbers and each expansion has less content than the last. Besides the dedicated shills it probably in all honesty has less than a million people playing it. Maybe less than 500,000.
>>737841430i still dont know what anduin phase is 2023, what the fuck happened?
>>737834371Polygons in the right places > More polygonsBoth are lacking curvature
>>737841196thats because Midnight is a ghost town, the patches are a mess and nobody is playing
>>737834371WoW openly stated they wanted to "de-genderize" Type B bodies to make them more inclusive for LGBT+ players, who complained that the original Body Types were unachieveable and conformed to heteronormativity. It's honestly an improvement, because it's inclusive and allows players to play either a cis-gendered NElf or another gender identity without any intrusive changes. I'm for it. Traditional womens bodies don't really belong in contemporary media/art in my opinion, because this is narrow minded thinking and not conforming with the reality we live in today.
>>737841430This is literally me
>>737834371WoWFableDemons Souls
>>737841789God I would like to put my hand through your skull so bad right nowGood job with the bait anon i guess, quite successful
>>737836452>>737836667You silly boys! :3
>>737835228that is exactly how the updated nelf looks in gamedifferent faces are used between the two, though
Ahh… the cute one…
>>737842597The comparison doesn't fucking work if you're using different customization options and wearing different gear. That's the point.
>>737841568Shadowlands.>>737841789I agree that biological women want nothing to do with any of this.
>>737842994covering up the body would hide the fact that the new body textures are bad
>>737834371Yeah, every modern CS is a downgrade compared to 1.X
>>737843014right forgot the janny mind raped him and that made him emo
>>737834371Pretty much all the updated graphics and models look terrible since Blizzard started leaning into the Disney cartoon artstyle. I still have the old Sunwell trilogy and It sucks how it reminds me there is a timeline where blizz never sold out to Activision and leaned more into the dark manga artstyle instead of the gay transsexual furrycraft we have now.>>737841430I highly doubt they have had anywhere near a million players in years. I'd wager modern wow has around 200,000 actual active players still and that's me being generous. Obviously not counting the countless bots that have been infesting the game for years. Honestly, I would wager that some of the larger private servers have had only slightly less if not equal player numbers compared to retail servers now.
When everquest upgraded its graphics half the races where design downgrades.
It's sad what happened to Warcraft but it has affected all western entertainment. I wonder how much longer it'll be before western entertainment goes back to big titty attractive sexy women doing cool things again?
>>737834574it really did but nobody ever mentions it did because nobody plays female tauren
>>737835042>now>suddenly
That's most "upgrades" right now.Every RE remake as well as the Dead Rising remake are just blue and grey trash.In general lighting has completely shit the bed for most remakes, partially because it's never designed for specific scenes, angles, aspects.Then you have shit like the Spyro or Demons Souls remakes, where they just completely re-interpret designs for the worse.
>>737843213The original body textures were also bad
>>737843476>I would wager that some of the larger private servers have had only slightly less if not equal player numbers compared to retail servers now.Delusional desu>>737843969>Sneaking REkino makes in to his shitpostNice try
