I know I'm all BLAAAH about this game but I know enough to say, You're a good healer if you're asking these kinds of questions. Really it just means you're willing to research being better instead of settling for adequate.


that said, given the announcements regarding how they plan on having one lockout and 10m being the same as 25, I might be able to handle this as a "game" again instead of lifestyle cuz right now, it's pretty expected of some of the guilds I've been in, in order to maximize potential gearing, to run

10/25 icc
10/25 Trials
10/25 Ulduar HM's

6 raids, something along the lines of 4 hours each, every week.

vs the cataclysm single lockout model, which at launch will be like 2 raids with 5 or 6 bosses each as opposed to the 10+ bosses in multi winged raids the game has now.

Hell even 40 man raids didn't take as long as they do now.


They really need to upgrade the old world textures to get me to want to play again though.

I was just having this convo yesterday

skywall and kezan look nice, the old world zones still just need a graphic/texture overhaul or something I guess. I know it's too soon to whine but http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...nggorge_06.jpg looks the freakin same, bland as hell.

I'm being picky, I know but there are plenty of mountain textures that ... See Morejust draw in that "bare rock" texture on every steep incline since vanilla and it's an eyesore to me at this point. :\

a couple more examples of it I guess.

could they add a little moss/mold/bird shit/anything? please?

I can't be the only one :\

Oh I totally agree with you, the rock renders look dreadfully old, like 2003 Bryce 5 "My First CG Program" style.

The terrain needs that realistic touch, like erosion, roots sticking out, clumps of other layers pushing out onto trails...a lot like how Oblivions landscapes felt. I think WoW does that really well in WRATH, especially in places ... See Morelike Grizzly Hills, Howling Fjord. I'm sure the design team will really start touching it up soon.

I hope so, I'm buying a bloody new computer for this game...it better look sweet at max settings.
