[Stormwind] Changes in wall textures

[Xel]

After looking through dozens of PTR textures I found out that Blizzard is
improving Stormwind for the future patches. Maybe it's for the worgen
district?

Old wall texture


New wall texture


My PTR client isn't working but I will try to get ingame screenshots later!

I like the new look

[Renyei]

Is it just me or does the "new" look seem less detailed?

[Azylum]

Looks like the new one has more what do you call it... texture? But less details. I thought of the wow comic book thingy for a sec pertaining the drawings. But i may be wrong.

Oh yeah: Its less shiny :P

Actually, the new texture looks much better ingame. It makes a strange 3d feeling.

Is that not because of the shadows being more defined and darker/larger?

[iRockMyiPod]

Didn't notice, but I guess pretty cool.

[ximen]

PTR? Aint this allready deployed Xel?
Indeed it was, yes gives a 3d feeling indeed.

It's the style they've been going for since WotLK first came out. If you look at most (if not all) of the new textures, they're less detailed and going for style over realism. Which is a good thing, as WoW doesn't lend itself to realistic textures.

blizz has been doing that for awhile, making stuff much more cartoony to make the game seem a lot more cartoony, instead of pumping loads of high detailed textures onto low polygon objects.

I Dont Know if anybody has realized this, but they changed the entire wall at the spot to get under SW. Nice catch Xel

So we can't go under SW anymore ?!
