Water reflections

[Huntaer]

Hi, Today i bought a new PC, a real monster. Everything ultra, and still a very smooth game
But, i was surprised i did not see myself reflected in the water. Is this not implemented, or am i doing something wrong ?
Running directx 11 btw

I think it's because you're a vampire.

If you don't know already, the DX11 in WoW isn't true DX11... it's only for abilities in the game.

No wonder i dont come out during the day...

Rly though, where's my reflection? :P

Actually, didn't they mention something about player reflections a while ago?

Would be a cool feature if they implemented a player reflection in the water, but I doubt we'll be seeing anything such implemented for a while.

If you stand on the edge of water (in my case I'm on the edge of the pool with the hunter pet crab just outside shrine of seven stars) and scroll your camera out and set it close to the water, you can see a kind of reflection. It's more like a shadow, but it's still there. It's even changed by mounts and using abilities.

Player reflections were added in MOP. They existed in cata's beta and then were removed due to issues. For me, I can only see my reflection when I fly high in the air and look down, and my reflection is gigantic, spreading for 100s-1000s of in game feet across the land in the water.

I am wondering if it works for anyone at all, but nobody replied to the thread I made about it last month.

The reflections are visible, however it is kinda buggy atm and you can see them only from certain angles.Hopefully it's gonna get fixed soon.

Water reflections of any sort are still not in the game. I know DX10 and beyond support such things, but its just not coded into wow.

I could be wrong though. maybe its just my computer can't support them haha. I built her in 2008 and the only upgrade I've done is a newer video card.

Terrain reflections have been in the game now since Cata was in beta. You need DX11 to see it. And yes, character reflections were also in cata beta but removed.
They are now in the game but buggy. We're not lying, I promise.

The reflection I've seen is weird. Instead of how it should actually go, it just copies my being into the water and displays it as it is with no relation to the angle I'm looking. Meaning my reflection makes it seem I'm a giant reaching to the horizon.

I can see terrain reflections and boat reflections on DX9

The mystery deepens.
