Up-Res Old Armor

[MakeMeLaugh]

Rather not have to rely on modding from other people, Add-Ons is one thing, but art work I rather not. This isn't Skyrim.

It's just updated textures, not new ones, modders can do that just fine. And it's much better than keeping the horrible low res textures we have right now.

I thought the topic was to bring it on par with the current armor. And still, rather not. As well, would mean Blizzard would have to loosen on their rule about no modding.

I get really worried when I look at some Artifact models on WoWhead, I hope its just because it is on a Beta stage but then again this went through WoD:


The sword feels like low resolution compared to anything else around it, its really sad


This what I'm talking about artifacts, most runes and other little things look very pixelated when you zoom a bit into them:









Some older models look a better imo:

These complaints are lunacy at most and the picking of nits at least! They're awesome looking weapons.
You're just looking to complain.

The CM sword is an abomination anyway, regardless of its resolution.

I don't agree.Looks cool.

I don't agree.Looks cool.

The sword (like most cm weapons) is ridiculously big and generally just way over the top in my opinion

Everything you said is just your opinion from saying its lunacy up to saying they look good but the facts are irrefutable, some artifacts as the ones I linked look pixelated specially the second artifact image. I'm not looking to complain, but that would certainly be something I would report as bug.

The game is over the top. The concept of Titan's Grip is over the top. It's supposed to be.

There are bigger fish to fry. So many critics of everything in this game. The fine tooth comb squad!

Yes I know, but given the ridiculous amount of textures they would have to update, I would say it's impossible without external help. And I'm not saying it would become a mod, it's just that they would accept help from modders to update the textures, then blizz ships a patch/expansion with all the work done. I'm not asking for another curse site with mods.

I just thought that maybe when they were made, they were made high-res and then scaled down. Just want the texture having a bit higher resolution

You are right. When they make a texture, they start with a resolution of 1024x1024 (or higher) and then scale it down, including icons.
However, there are some high definition textures they forgot to resize and are already in the game.
Examples:

(High res Blackforge Mail from the 2003 alpha)


(High res Ghostwalker Garb from the 2003 alpha)


(Goblin shredder)

Technically, Blizzard has no excuse to do this.

Please. make a list of what can be discussed and don't forget to send it to the moderators so they can close and delete every topic that is not on the list.

This topic is about remaking resolutions of old armors I stated that they are still doing low resolution weapons for Legion, weapons that have spots will less resolution than weapons from Cataclysm/Wrath of the Lich King.

Ofc I could be here talking about how most servers are dead and should be closed and merged so we can all have enough numbers to make things funcional, I could be talking about so many things that are not working in WoW at the moment, but that is not the theme of this topic.

Critics can be used to improve, not sure if you knew about it. If players are criticizing it's because they know Blizzard can improve those things.
