General WoD Alpha/Beta Discussion

[Dhomeli]

Nope, but I'll see if I can find the first beta build and get the maps from that uploaded.

Cool, thank you!

[Mawnix]

Just shows how far WoW is from current gen tech

It's an MMO for Christ's sakes...

[Marlamin]

Some people just don't get it unfortunately.

If I only had 77 more friends with Alpha access so I could queue for it.

Surely Blizzard invited enough people for you to arrange it via /1 General Chat in Frostfire?

Preview of the Taanan Jungle Dark Portal in Unreal Engime, and it's atmosphere before I've started adding the swamp and any other props.

Imagine the lagfest that will happen along with 25 people in a raid if WoW was using that engine. Even on low I'd imagine you'd get around 10-15 fps on a mid-end pc.

Model, Details at http://wod.wowhead.com/npc=76873

Wow.... just wow... I am gob smacked. 10 year anniversary and we get a scaled down npc model for a pet..

INB4 entitlement abound, guess I have just been around long enough to see Blizzard doesn't give a shit anymore. Well heres to more than an XP buff!

Wildstar looks different, I wouldn't necessarily say better. I run both games on Ultra and the quality seems pretty close, albeit different styles. Obviously the older content in wow doesn't look great these days.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

It's not F&F, but it is alpha. If they push new builds often then I won't have any complaints. But this very first iteration is barebones, not buts about it.

You're half right. It's not Friends and Family, it's Friends, Family and Press.

[Durandro]

Wildstar looks better then WoW. Barely.

WoW is 10 years old, using an even older engine. Wildstar is a brand new game, with devs who are apparently experienced in making MMO's.

What's Wildstar's excuse?

I've played Wildstar, and it's about the same quality as Warlords' Alpha is, it's different, but textures are no sharper, Models are about the same detail.

[Durandro]

If you count Streamers as Press, sure.

Datamined Alpha Models are 100% final. No Exceptions.

Marlamin - Maybe I just can't find it... but does your website have earlier Pandaria continent maps?

I wanted to compare the first Pandaria beta build map's completeness to Draenor's current alpha build map.

Done, 5.0.1.15464 is now up, making this the first Pandaria minimap we saw: http://marlamin.com/minimaps/maps/5....iiMainLand.png
