Any one else notice huge visual changes when playing this game on maximum? I got in and cranked it to max this almost looks like a completely different game and all the models look like they have been completely redone. UD chicks actually look hot

2 different art styles but I actually prefer the graphics and color palette that WoW uses. It can be a bit overboard at times but atleast your not lookin at a bunch of dull browns and greys most of the time.

Obviously people are happy with the new graphics so does anyone have any before and after graphics comparison shots?

Don't know if you can run it?

yeah i gotta agree here, those dont look as good as the game looks on my comp turned all the way up at home. also, i dont think there are any upgrades to the graphics outside of northrend anyway.  i know with TBC there were some slight upgrades to the environments but only in Outlands and the only character models with upgrades were the new BE and space goats.

They just added dynamic shadows btw so no the girls dont look hotter, the males aint stronger and the boars and more detailed.

It's the same game, just added something it should have been on launch tbh.

Does anyone have a better screen shot? I don't see anything different from the one posted. Was there some sort of update or something? I'm a little ut of the loop.

Game looks the same to me. I played on max settings at 1440x900 AFx16 AAx4.  Its been a month since I played so It could just be me.

Yours is not the path of force, though force is often needed to clear the path.

Actually only thing they did was add the shadows, they are still working alot of the graphics for later on, you can see some big changes in wotlk..there are however some commands you can use in game to really increase the graphics

maybe i'll post some screens later.

that screen shot doesn't show the shadows at all lol. heres a short video showing the dynamic shadows in action. www.youtube.com/watch

 

if you remember everything used to just have a dark circle under it to represent a shadow.

That looks exactly like it did before to me, and I play with everything on maximum as well.

<--- missing something?

What is EQ2?

You mean that game being played 3 weeks before Wow was launched?
