LackeyZero writes: I think it's stupid. I don't get it, what's the point of having an orc scream? Understandably it's a war game, but still, it looks ridiculous to me and sounds really annoying... Sun Apr 08 2007 3:28PM Report
checkthis500 writes: What people aren't understanding is that this is only to demonstrate their "in-game" lighting system. The video is of an "in-game" orc, with their iin-game lighting system that they haven't shown until now with this. It's not even the login screen that'll be in launch it's a placeholder.

Dalmar writes: Read the freakin' description of the video before posting dumb remarks. The lighting system looks really great, I can't wait for WAR so I can smash in the faces of those who can't even read a small description. Tue Apr 10 2007 10:54PM Report

Razor_Rox writes: ok, some of you should think about jumping off a cliff. the sound quality in this video may not represent(WILL NOT)what you will hear when this game is FINISHED! this is a short video to show you some of the in-game LIGHTING. read the description UNDER the movie. how your parents live with themselves after spawning some of you terds is beyond me.

Wr3cked writes: It's OK but when it gets darker the shadows appear in the wrong place, unless we are assuming there is lighting infront/to the left of him, but that still wouldn't fully explain why the whole of the front of the orc goes dark, especially as there is nothing around to obstruct the light that is falling on the front of the orc in the first place.

Jeehao writes: Now why shuld i like to see an character just standing alround on my login screen? looks like something that will get anoying if you aint gona login right away or the server is full so you cant login right away, A nice wallpaper with some movements would be better. like the wc3 loginscreen Sat Apr 21 2007 11:50AM Report
blur.murdoc writes: haha I keep seeing idiotic comments about people referring to this video as the screen where you enter the world as your character. Its not a "character screen", it is the "login screen"... where you type in your account and password. It is pretty nice compared to some of the other games out there. But then again who cares.. its just a login screen you see it for 2 seconds each time you log on. Sun Apr 22 2007 1:35PM Report

andreibaru writes: WAR: nice demonstration of the lighting. You might want to look into making the flag darker when the lighting goes out ( i assume its a flickering fire and someone is passing in between it and the orc). The orc goes dark.. but the red on the flag stays fairly bright. To the R-Tards: THIS IS NOT WHAT THE FINISHED LOGIN SCREEN WILL BE. IT IS ONLY A DEMONSTRATION OF AS YET, UNREAVELED LIGHTING EFFECTS. GO TO YOUR WOW FORUMS AND BITCH ABOUT YOUR DKP IF YOU ARE TOO FUCKING STUPID TO READ A 4 LINE VIDEO DESCRIPTION. Mon Aug 27 2007 1:12PM Report

Ekadd writes: I hope they adds shadows from everything with this new lightining system. that would be cool. (only your own character has realtime shadow but other objects and players has stabil circle shadow on the ground if you noticed) Fri Aug 21 2009 5:37AM Report
