No it's notMrSatan said:After delays and several beta tests. You think that this game wouldn't be so damn ugly. I guess they made it so all those diablo fiends could run it on their pentium 3s and geforce 3mxs. If you wanna play a good mmorpg, play ffxi. WoW is a joke.
bonkrowave said:Exactly .. you can have cartoony WoW graphics and still have all the lag, best of both worlds.
Harkamus said:Go die now. Go play something that has eye candy and no gameplay..aka DOOM 3.
OK, minus the die part.

Syphon Filter said:how exactly does having better graphics affect network play? The grahics are processed locally and stay local. The network is just used to relay positions and item info etc surely?
With the power of todays graphics cards and CPU's having good graphics will not affect network data processing very much at all. Lag is an artifact of network latencies not local processing power really. As long as network processing is given a high enough priority on the local machine then then only issue will be latency in the network between the client and server.
Obviously if you are running on a slow ass machine then I can understand.
As for that, I too had a problem with it. But if you go on their site, its 16 per month, 14 per 4 months? 12 for 6 months, and 10 for 1 yr. So really your only going to spend 120 at the end of the year (if you go with the yr plan). Which isn't that bad, considering I make 1.5 Times that a week. So really, you are just sacrificing portion of one of many paychecks that will not put a noticable dent in your yearly income. I am also a college student, so I know how hard money is to come by. I ended up buying it (Still waiting for my new credit card to arrive!..so I have a useless game installed) but I figured it was worth the monthly fee. Besides it DOES go towards them keeping the servers running, and adding game content. Whereas, a free one, (perhaps Guild Wars) will have to depend soley on the Mod community to make changes. That will not be so good, because I would assume contest would be held for the best add-on, then it would be picked, added, and streamed via internet to everyone. WoW on the other hand can keep its orginal workers/game designers and have them keep pumping up = level quality as the rest of the game. Whereas the mod community might fail a little.hahahahha good thing i don't play that game. still find it hard to justify $14 a month for an already $50 game.
obs said:Well, I think some of the graphics in WoW are ugly. Mainly every horde model, and every male alliance model with the exception of night elves. They are just ugly to me. Even if they were high poly they would still be ugly. However, the areas in WoW look pretty damn nice.
As far as comparing them to FFXI, the games are over 2 years apart in release. I think FFXI looks damn nice, especially some of the promathia areas. Overall though, it's a tough call. Their styles are just so different. If I wanted to compare WoW graphics to another game, it would be CoH, and CoH just destroys it in graphics. The gameplay just wasn't for me though.
ameoba said:Lag is latency because of server and network load. It has nothing to do with your computer being slow. Please get your terms right.
markt435 said:um not if you're getting 5-10 fps on doom 3 while doing multi...you wanna tell me if that guy lags or not? i've seen it happen. even in games based on old engines so don't think graphics don't have anything to do with lag.
markt435 said:i was using as an example...a friend of mine in my old clan would lag because of his graphics. this was in wolf ET mind you.
Do you have a filter on the forums that shows you every WoW thread so you can paste your whining into it? Seriously...every thread..you whine. Let's find something constructive to do.bonkrowave said:Exactly .. you can have cartoony WoW graphics and still have all the lag, best of both worlds.

michealo said:the problem i see with WoW's graphics are they are not future proof
sure it flies on current mid range machines now, but what about 3 years from now which is normally about halways thru a MMORPG's lifespan
not that i want to get into an EQ2-WoW debate, but JUST comparing thier graphics engines (not necesarrily the artwork involved), EQ2 is better off. EQ2 at the highest setting looks absolutely beautiful, but it brings the current highest end gaming systems to it's knees. what about hardware 3 years from now, tho?
now if the topic was gameplay? there'd be no comparison
bonkrowave said:Nowadays graphics do not cause LAG.
Example HL2. Astonishing graphics ... no slow down on my end.
Bane said:If you'll notice, the graphics style looks like Warcraft III. I don't remember anybody having trouble with those graphics. It's basically the same thing, except you're down in the thick of things.
Your face looks better from far away!!!doh-nut said:that because it looks better from far away
btw its funny to watch the fanb0ys react in this thread lol
Bane said:Your face looks better from far away!!!
But yeah, that could be true.
