I don't get the hate, I can understand not liking the game but the fact is it's a good looking game especially when you consider its age.

I'd rather they make it so enemies/mobs draw in faster, it's stupid that you can fly over a massive area and see no mobs until you get really close to the ground.
 
People love to hate wow. You can guarantee that as soon as you see WOW or MMO in the topic title there are going to be 1/3 of the forum telling everyone else its dated and you have to be jobless and have no social life to play, 1/3 defending it and the other 1/3 not giving a damn either way.

No other game gets quite as much hostility directed towards it.

Though to be fair that does tend to apply to most MMOs, can barely mention that you like MMO X , without a flurry of people saying that they cant believe that you pay to play a game, or that they are a waste of time, or that you only play them because you lack RL social skills etc etc. WoW just seems to get the brunt of it because its the best known MMO, but in general it applies to all MMOs.
 
I see where people come from when they say MMOs are a waste of time and time consuming obviously because of leveling but thats ALL games for you and its up to you how many hours you want to consume.

Example: I know someone who spends the same hours on xbox live or playing CSS on the pc

Indeed..lets face it, at the end of the day most "hobbies" are a waste of time. One could say that the hobby expending time is actually one of the key aims of many hobbies. Simply a way to pass the time.

Anyone know anything regarding the graphics update?

Aside from what's been already mentioned (better water and sun ray effects) ? Not really. Allegedly PC models will receive a face lift to match new races in looks, and almost everything will have a higher poly count but other than that, no nothing new.
 
Well one of the ingredients in the formula of success for WoW is its accessibility in terms of hardware support. You can run it on older machines very successfully so it's frankly not in their interest to give this anything more than a minor facelift.
 
wow!, not

:p


Actually I used to play text based rpg so I can understand why graphics isnt that important

The big thing about DX10 and DX11 was efficiency improvements but they have been touting that since geforce 4 was supposed to skip drawing non visible objects. Never seemed to work, does this help at all or not ?

Im thinking of maybe when 50 players are on screen or similar for how proper dx10/11 might help other games in future
 
Still looks bad to me. I played a week of it again recently and got a Scroll of Res character to 85 before deciding I wasn't paying any subscription for a month or two of this. Can't go back after playing so many actual high quality games. When are we getting an MMO with Metro 2033 style graphics? :P
