World Of Warcraft-A bit of a disappointment

[tails]

My point is that Blizzard, in ~6 years of game development, hasn't taken the time to increase the visual quality of their game.

Cataclysm got higher res textures and new water.
It also has DirectX 11 support.

Now increase the polycount and texture resolution of the player models and we'll be good to go.

But then the system requirements would increase, And they would lose money.
And then my laptop couldn't run it.

And they just need to keep milking money untill Titan comes out.

"low" settings. Adding the capability doesn't automatically alienate people like you.

No not people like me. I just like gaming in my bed as well as on my pc.

[yuki]

People like you being people who play on lower-grade computers. So yeah, people like you, regardless if you additionally play on a good computer.

I never did any of those? I might have done raiding, idk what you mean by that.

He's being sarcastic. Raiding starts at a relatively high level, and you can't ride epic mounts until level 70 or 80, can't remember.
If you want, I'll friend you and make a character on your realm.
I personally love WoW. Lots to do.

Whatever? This means I have a life and don't spend my life in front of a screen.

Doesn't this count as "too cool for the internet"?

I never argued that graphics make a game, but you're ignorant to think graphics aren't important in game design. My point is that Blizzard, in ~6 years of game development, hasn't taken the time to increase the visual quality of their game.

Also, Duke 3D isn't the original Duke Nukem. The graphical quality of Duke 3D is awful, but was good for the technology of the time, so it's understandable. It had good graphics. That's the difference. Duke 3D is a relic, WoW is a fully-operational modern-day game.

Minecraft.

Minecraft.

Minecraft doesn't have bad graphics. It has an 8-bit art theme which fits with the 3D blocky world. While the players are surely under-developed, pursuing an 8-bit retro theme is not "bad graphics". Coupled with other types of rendering, vignetting, dynamic lighting, minecraft looks great.

WoW doesn't have bad graphics, It is one of the most detailed games I have ever played, and it also has a unique art style that is very fitting. People can raid with 24 other people with integrated graphics and not lag, yet the bosses are scary looking and there is a wide variety of different looking armor. I can't fathom how anyone could possibly dislike WoW's graphics but I guess to each his own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ12VD2OUM0 this video shows pretty well how superior Blizzard was at designing pretty and non-bland or boring areas.

Leveling is easy.

I can get my player to level 35 in one day.

At the "ultra" graphics setting, my computer didn't even hiccup and the game still looked like I was running an N64 emulator. I understand WoW's art theme, but it sure as hell isn't that detailed. Having different visual models for different art isn't part of graphical capability, and rendering many clients without lagging is part of optimization, not graphics.

I guess people just don't care about the graphics, and that's fine, but I honestly think it looks absolutely horrid.

What? No, that's ridiculous, then I wouldn't be on here. I'm saying I don't spend every second of my life doing MMORPGs.

visage, wow is not detailed at all. even when wow was new back then its graphics were kinda tired.
other mmos of that time were far more built.

today's standard of game graphics. wow has the graphics of every korean pay 4 content mmo you have ever seen.
