It looks almost exactly the same. I'm very disappointed...
It didn't need a massive overhaul, but I mean... This is literally a Copy & Paste, with a tower in the middle. That's really lame.

The whole city has been updated. From the ground textures to the buildings and even as far as how the lighting works at night. It looks a LOT better. Originally Posted by Hyve

They have done quite a bit of cosmetic overhaul to it. No reason to change the city fundamentally. This is from alpha, but it's roughly up to date still. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ5fITTT-OM Originally Posted by Hyve

Bro do you want it on an episode of Grand Designs? Its Dalaran. The fact that it changed at all is enough. Originally Posted by Hyve

This simple description "its the same dalaran with a tower in the middle" is akin to saying Orgrimmar got buildings with spikes and nothing else on its update.
Again this is Dalaran. What use would there be completely changing the floor plan of the entire city? Especially one that almost everyone loved? They may as well make a different city at that point. I'd rather not have a Stormshield or Shrine, again. Moving Dalaran makes sense. Building an entire city from scratch amidst a demonic invasion does not.Last edited by Sliske; 2016-08-11 at 08:04 PM.

Dalaran has been praised as the perfect faction hub for almost 10 years. They changed a lot and kept the original feeling of dalaran. I feel they hit the nail on the head with perfect balance of giving us something new while playing on heartstings. Originally Posted by Hyve

Add a few more bits and shits to the rest of the areas ...
It just feels too similar.

They typically don't change cities.... Org is the only city to receive an extensive overhaul and that was for story reasons. Dalaran is a fan favorite and there was no reason to change anything about the layout. Plus, they would want to have some lore-related reason for a city that suddenly was redesigned and there really isn't one...
