Holy shit... They are really slacking in regards to textures. Are we living in 2005 or 2019?
Darn those are some of the worst looking weapons I ever seen :P All of them just terrible.
Oh look weapons from SoO!
As some one who rather likes the due look I guess I’m getting back into raiding.
You get a Xal'atath and you get a Xal'atath, everyone gets a Xal'atath.
shield yes
rest no thanks
I love the shield and also the weapons/amor always look better in game at least to me they have.
Oh look updated AQ40 Items
"how about a shield... with a huge eye?"
blizzard art direction meetings must be cutting edge and innovative
The weapons this xpac have been absolutely awful. The lone exception might be some of the alliance warfront ones (horde ones are dull and lifeless).
Hideous crap as usual
Eye see what they did there.
someone tell blizzard swords are used to slice things and not whatever these square edged blocks are designed for
This has always been an issue with weapon textures. The more surface area a weapon has, the more stretched its textures look. They're already using the maximum texture resolutions allowed by the engine (currently), but the same limits are in place for weapons regardless of type.
Though they also tend to look worse in the model viewers than in-game. The texture scaling in the game looks a quite a bit smoother.
