You can say that in every post in this forum and get the same effect, its all about a video game. And I'm very surprised at the amount of people who dont understand how little time it takes to make a few gear models (definately not 2 years lol) and also surprised that many others are not annoyed that the heroic gear isnt very visually distinct. You should be able to spot the difference from 100 yards away. Lastly its less about hardcore vs casual players and more about everyone in the game looking like twins, 90% of everyone in the game right now has T10 on and there is no individuality, everyone is the same...
It's harder then it seems to makes model differences and then to implement. But I believe it has been done so I'll stay neutral here.
Who says it takes 2 years? It's just foolish to think that there needs to be more distinguishable options in game for better players to stand out. Again, if you want to distinguish yourself you have mounts and titles, if you think gear means what it used to in terms of recognition you're about 2 years too late. Yes, it is about 'hardcores' looking like 'casuals' because that's why these people complain, they want to look different and stand out. Get over it, gear is no longer a sign of who is good or bad and them making heroic gear unique is a waste of time for everyone but the handful of people who care.
I am disappointed that I opened this thread.
Why all the hate on the hunter tier? I think its awesome. The helm is great and the shoulders are fancy. Looks like a bunch of murloc embryos tied to each shoulder. And the gloves are probably the most detailed ones in existance. IMPORTANT STUFF HERE
"lazy"? "real players"?
Anyway, I think a color swap is good enough. I think something blue can be clearly picked out from something that is red.
Warlocks had T6. It's mage's turn to have T11 .
Your comments are duly noted and ignored.
I punch a hobo every time someone says 'it's not a rotation it's a priority list lol'.
So is it just me or does it look like the mage T11 helm look like the bottom of it is out of place?
I agree that some degree of uniqueness would be nice. Whole new set? Not needed, but the difference could be some extra animations. Like warlock tier 6, normal would be without wings animation and heroic would have the animation.
