Сontinuing the races subject, there will be only 8 races on the whole – 4 of them for each faction, and only 9 classes available down from 12 for each race each with unique racial bonuses.
“A long time ago on the planet named Azeroth far, far away…” WoW: Classic Races, Class Differences between BfA and Classic, Racial Bonuses Since the first release, they have changed dramatically: more polygons, new animation, better realistic appearances, even proud bearing for Trolls and Orcs. The upgrades in playable races were always in the first place. Today we may see dynamic shades for all the objects – they move according to the direction of the light source or disappear at night time, and this all is possible due to a special shades graphical engine that programmers had to create, but back in 2004, it was technologically impossible, so the designers had to manually paint the shades directly on the nearby textures. Special mentions are the shades differences in Classic WoW and in the actual version of the game. From one expansion to another, they upgraded the graphics engine, making the environment more realistic, adding textures and polygons to the creatures and structures, enlarging the viewing distance, and changing the animation of models. These changes influence the gameplay directly, for example, only at night you may hear wolves’ howling, catch special fish or even come across extremely rare creatures that wander the forests when the sun sets.Īs time passed, the developers tried to optimize original graphics to the modern ideas of how the game should look like. The weather and the time change according to the original formulas sounds, and even music are both included. They are so eager to play and they would be very disappointed, so the developers made the right choice.ĭespite the fact that WoW: Classic was created on the BfA engine, and beta testers find odds and ends of the retail version here and there, the whole atmosphere is original. For these people, WoW Classic with modern graphics would not be that very game. The absolute majority of those who wait for the release of the game with such impatience, used to play Vanilla on the official or private servers and they certainly expect to get the same feelings and plunge into the same atmosphere. That was fantastic – Blizzard made a real breakthrough in the genre of MMORPG games. At that time, Players admired the bright colors, high textured models, detailed trees and structures, and the enormous world to explore without additional loading screens when moving between zones. But it was the year 2004 and for those times everything was just perfect. And the Prairie Dogs… Have you seen them? Well, take a look at what the poor animal used to look like and what it looks like right now. The models are angular, the environment is square, the grass is flat, one could not see anything in a distance, and the shades of the trees do not move no matter what. The very first thing everyone notices while looking at WoW: Classic screenshots or watching gameplay videos is the graphics differences.
