Does Nost allow Graphical improvement Mods?

[Jimmy 2]

Why it would bring more players? I shouldn't really need to answer that.

 

aka you can't

[Sirrestrikk 0]

aka you can't

I just did

[Jimmy 2]

I just did

 

You didn't, because it's an absurd statement that you can't possibly expect anyone to believe.

 

 

I'm out, this thread has clearly run it's course.

That vitriol toward people who are interested in character model mods is really over the top. 

 

If what this guy is saying that they can Whitelist certain mods in the game files then I don't see the issue. But I also respect the devs take on no changes. Tough spot for anyone on either side of the argument.

I don't see the problem with it... Personally i won't like the people it will bring (Shallow people mostly, who love thier pretty mogs and over the top complain about alot of petty stuff, Yes we ALL do this but they go one step farther on it.) But it will also bring in new people who haven't touched vanilla or maybe bring in people who've never played wow. can't tell ya any pop is good Pop, remmeber sure this is all fun and games. But i also want legacy to be a thing,  rub it into people's face's how Vanilla is great, some people hate it some people like it, but i think it should be acceptable to play it. Therefore any population is good population, So long as we give Raw numbers. (Even if i hate them)

 

 

(edit) I also hate some of the newer models. Makes your tauren look like a god damn disney character with plate Eh?

I don't care for most of the new models either but there's no reason to care if other people want them, it's not like you would see them or be effected in any way.  You can be a fan of vanilla without taking it too far and being a jerk about it.  I like the old models and the idea of being as pure vanilla as possible.  I doubt they will change their stance on this though as like others have said it invites problems and is unnecessary.  We all know why we are here and vanilla models are part of the game.

If its "easy" to whitelist; open an educated suggestion in the suggestion board. Maybe with some technical data and good arguments your suggestion, and wish, will come true. As of now the "NO" stands fixed and further discussion leads to nothing.

This thread ended with this post.

Lol? You want the new models?

I'm sure this has been said a million times before, but.. oh well, though the new models/graphical improvements do look nice (for the most part), they have at the same time lost allot of the magic that made the old models look so special.

 

One thing Blizzard was really great at back in the day, is to translate excellent concept art, into excellent 3D models without any of the magic and emotion being lost in the transition, and not only that, but to do so in a really minimalist way when it comes to triangles/polygons budget, Blizzard was able to do allot with very little, the whole game use to be like this.

 

This is one of the reasons why Vanilla looks pretty good even today.

 

See one problem with the graphics in Retail, is that nothing looks special anymore, the game still looks pretty good, but it's lost that.. that.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOnYY9Mw2Fg&feature=youtu.be&t=35s

 

 

Also there is way too much shizzle on the screen all the time in Retail, it's nowhere near as subtle as Vanilla was with it's art direction.

 

 

Not to beat the ol' less is more horse to death, but it's true.

http://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?t=1100&f=32    <-- use this guide. It will turn your game into something beatiful you would not have imagined that is possible! Along with the highest possible resolution it looks absolutely gorgeous! I would not have imagine that the game could look that awesome. It is one of the reasons I enjoy the game much more than back then when I had turn graphics down quite a bit from max and still only at 30ish in raids or cities.

 

Give it a try, turn your resolution to max and you will love it. You won't feel the need for mods.

Tried this guide

no difference for me

 

all on maximum in game settings + in config SET frillDensity "150" to increase amount of grass

 

with this guide +  SET frillDensity "150"  instead of "256" - too much for me

 

only one difference is sky colour but this is because of  SET SkyCloudLOD "1"

here is comparison on BattleNet

http://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/6036503655#post-2

http://i.imgur.com/a2kYE.jpg - SET SkyCloudLOD "3"

 

looks not realistic too much RED

 

basically after setting up WoW on maximum go to config.wtf and change frillDensity to "150" or more 'max 256' that it. nothing you can do at all to this game without changing any .mpq .exe

This may be a stupid question, but did you restart the game and/or graphics engine after making the changes?

 

I know when I did the console changes I saw pretty dramatic differences even with everything already maxed in the game settings.

This.  It does not effect any one but the  person using the mod. If it can be white listed with out much of a problem then why not allow it?

Probably other concerns right now, that are more important than the need of a few people in comparison. Just come back with the suggestion once all servers run smoothly and the devs have more time on their hands.

It's a suggestion. Some thing for the Devs to think about and give the community a chance to discuss the possible pro's and con's of allowing it. I don't see a problem with a peace full discussion.

[caoyang 3]

I can totally see why some people would want a graphical improvement on the character model. I personally like the old model a bit better but the new model ain't that bad either.

 

The other graphical improvements since vanilla are huge though, and I kinda hope the dev team would allow some graphical improvements to the game.

 

I can see why trying to improve the graphic individually by changing game file would be dangerous to this game, but maybe Elysium devs can use some of the spare time to have their own graphic improvement modes or just endorse some modes made by others, and have them available for download on the official website.

i would prefer the devs to focus on actual game content and bugs. with any "spare time" spent on a TBC realm *hinthint*

Yes, don't touch the game. Only fix bugs and make a perfect clone of vanilla experience.

[ktak 6]

They don't allow any changes because they can't see what you changed in game. So They will not allow it. Stop create 1000 topics .

This sadly reminds me people in retail claiming that vanilla would no let the devs "focus".

 

I love vanilla as much as many of you, but I don't find any good reason to how allowing new models would be an issue if ever happens. In fact, my gf don't want to play with me because she can't play new female human. It could sound silly, but little things like that are important for some people. If you like vanilla old models its fine, but its fine to like the new ones too. This community was and I hope will always be about sharing this awesome experience. We don't by any means want to become any kind of exclusive club, so please welcome people that comes here and accept suggestions as what they are, suggestions.

If she don't like old models maybe she will not like hardcore vanilla as well? Recovering mana after each combat. Dead if fighting against 3 mobs. And all this things. Wear a helmet and forget about how ugly you character in game Edited December 1, 2016 by Hazar

Pretty sure that once things calm down for the team they will consider putting some time into this. There's no reason to not look for the improvement. I've said it once in a previous thread about this subject and I'll say it again - graphics do matter, for they make a great gameplay experience into a visually rewarding great gameplay experience, which is far superior.

[Starshards 0]

To each his own.  Vanilla character model is a main reason I enjoy Legacy.  Some of the new model races from WoD and Legion's forced new elf model look like trash.  BC was my favorite expansion, classic a second, so I must agree with this cat:

[windslav 2]

This isn't a modding server, this is a vanilla server. It's the whole huge point.

[Shayss 43]

So, for a person like me, who prefers the vanilla graphics on a VANILLA server, i am choosing the visually less rewarding gameplay experience?

 

LoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL.

 

Sersiously all these guys who want the shitty new models are literally coming straight out of retail. They probably won't last a week since they already feel entitled to these models on a server made for vanilla players. I don't care if it doesn't directly affect me. I do care that they think they should be able to modify the game client to satisfy thier retails needs. What next bro? You want some free epics aswell.

 

This topic is pointless. IT_WILL_NEVER_HAPPEN.

 

If you disagree, that's cool. You have a game tailored specificaly to your needs.
