Stormwind Changes

[Allyosaugh]

Because I can't seem to figure out how to post images, here are the links to some pictures I just took in 3.3.5 WoW and the Beta, comparing Stormwind.

Also, a poll. Because why not.

[Togarox]

It's 10 times better than what it used to be. Looks amazing from the air as well.

I would put one up from the air, but the current Stormwind unfortunately isn't compatible with that.. It's odd. You'll know what I'm talking about if you've ever tried to fly over it before Cataclysm.

[Patrickstarr]

Wow! So HD / HQ!
Goodbye to the park though...

[bethofwow]

The look of the towers at the front has a Stratholme feeling to it. Should be a bit of an uneasy sight for the residents.

[Xzan]

Loving the new Stormwind. Looks great.

Also, being Horde since TBC release, I'm absolutely hating the new Orgrimmar. :<

+1 to alliance on this one :>

[Zaydin]

Looks pretty awesome. I can't wait for some of these things to go live. I just wish all the cities were getting some love. As far as I know, Ironforge is relatively unchanged in the beta, and the main change to Darnassus is the Howling Oak. Exodar is... well, the Exodar.

[Gonder]

I love every bit of it, just comparing the two makes Cataclysm look amazingly realistic, go Blizzard!

Only weird thing here is one of the Cathedral Screen Shots, the ground which is covered in Concrete is all out of shape and sticking up like a little slope, i dont recall people building Concrete over ground like that...

[tankytanktank123]

looks good but how about some IF textures

[Hotaro]

looks good but how about some IF textures

And some TB textures, these tents should be updated atleast to stronger wooden structures( ie taunka buildings)

[Deleted]

I really like the new floor textures, but the 'new' stone wall textures are just ugly. They look too clean and are not properly Bump mapped(yet).

[Hawkzilla]

i really do like it alot , my only beef is that i hope in upcoming patches all the damage gets repaired , i don't want another Seintinal Hill INN Fiasco

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

When beta started, new orgrimmar looked best. Blizz is still rolling out major graphic upgrades to make SW the best looking city in game.

[EFG]

The Twin Candlesticks are awesome.

[Deleted]

love it especially storwind kepp

Fail. That water will be there for the whole expansion imo.

[Throren]

looks like 2.27% of the people that voted missed the awesome button by mistake :P

[Hotaro]

This city is recieving far too much attention, i reckon the 1st patch after cata hits will bring out SW Airport. Blizz needs to focus more on the other cities ie TB, IF and where was the UC changes?? All thats been done is above the city, Will these ruins serve any purpose or just a place to look around. Very dissapointed with UC so far.

[ComputerNerd]

They even have their own wildlife - Stormwind Rat.

[angael]

They just look better in general. But i agree with Hotaro, blizzard is doing a lot with It. But I guess org is also getting a large number of changes also. Guess it would be up in the air
