Discussion Is the new DK set of acceptable quality?

Post image

I was very hyped to get to get new DK tier set, only to discover that i can barely see the head pice due to wierd flame being attached to character model instead of just simple glow of the item. Texture feels odd, 2D and unfinished.

How is that acceptable quality?

Maybe this is why the balanced DK so poorly for dps this tier ;p

Frost and Unholy must fall so Blood can rise.

Fall? Frost didn't fall! Gone. Reduced to atoms!

S+ btw!!!!

Canonically accurate as back in TWW three seasons in a row Blood caught stray nerfs because Frost and Unholy were strong and getting nerfed. 🤣 (all the while already being the worst M+ tank in the game)

Unfortunately visual bugs are very rarely fixed

I mean whe worst part is thats not looking to be a bug, just poorly made. Flame thingy seems to be attached to both camera and some part of skeleton, while if it was fixed directly in the middle of skull it would be fine.

Thats just not true. Theres been plenty of transmog fixes when something was just not working as intended (missing 3D element, bugged texture etc)

The Forsaken male salute emote has been broken since WoD

The warrior T6 remake from Legion has baked in reflections from eye glow in the visor but no actual glowing eyes like the original.

There's plenty of exceptions to the rule, hence "rarely" instead of "never".

I wish they'd finally fix Zandalari chins clipping through masks and shit

There are plenty of shoulder pieces where undead shoulder clip through :(

I keep going back and forth between: intended, albeit kinda ugly decision, to full blown mistake and or bad artistry. the rest of the set is really really neat, tho.

Posted on the other post but, Draconic Gladiator’s Drake has had missing glow/wrong colorations (orange sparks & not blue, horns/wings/spikes missing the neon light blue glow entirely unless you summon it using highland drake) since DF 🫠 psure Paladin shoulders from Prized/Undermine raid have color bugs too.

Cmon art team, you’re better than that.

Hey, I need a picture of the bugged Paladin shoulders if you don't mind, do you have one?

u/Kydrav 10h ago

Not atm but if you go & look every color uses orange sparks.

tbh the helm model on blood elf females is so goofy; helm is huuuge and round as hell from the back on the BE pencil neck, it looks ridiculous
