Its true. Blizzard's attempt at weapon and armor design is appalling.

>tfw you thought the Souls series taking off would make more developers move towards more down-to-earth weapons instead of the garbage on the right side of that image
>>332348348
>Implying there isn't fantastical bullshit weapons in Souls too
I mean, they're not the majority of weapons, but they're there.
>>332348223
Blizzard designs are okay. Armour which is 70% pauldrons is also not realistic but it fits the style of the game, it was never realistic
What's wrong with atiesh?

>Not liking da glow
Westaboos pls leave

OP here,
Nothing wrong with Atiesh. just tookthis image as it had the most wow weapons thrown together. some TBC and everything post wotlk is absolute vomit inducing.
Also Truesilver greatsword is my swordfu.
>>332348050
you can make left look really good, see dark souls, but you hit a ceiling as to how refined you can make the animation of fake, toy looking weapons before you hit the "this looks like a mobile app' barrier.
also left looks cooler.

>not liking TBC designs
Also WoW weapons and armour lost their charm when they became more realistic (since Cata)
Quel'serrar would be okay if the hilt wasn't as gaudy. Still one of my favorite weapons in wow

Sonyggers believe this
>>332349214
what the fuck is realistic about cata's designs
>>332349978
I said more realistic. No more glowsticks in swords and unreasonably huge pauldrons, the style went to classic dark fantasy designs
>>332350225
>more realistic
>no huge pauldrons
Did you even play in cata? Armor designs were just as silly and ridiculous as ever
Quel'Delar is the best looking runeblade in the universe. Everything else in that picture is shit.
>>332348050
Whats wrong with Atiesh or Gorehowl? WoW definitely has some fucked up designs but there are a look of good ones too. However, after vanilla they definitely through modesty out the window.
>>332350225
I think you meant
>more detailed , dark and less glowy
but still retarded as always. also ditched the cartoony styile WoW had.
I miss WC2 Style.
>>332348478
He said more, not 'every single weapon must be realistic'.
There's room for simple but badass stuff like the Zweihander and the Gravelord Greatsword in the same game.
>>332350446
Tbh I played very little of Cata, but as I said i would expect this armor in some generic fantasy game №723 or as a skyrim mod, It's not as over-the-top as older designs. But that's just my tastes, i really liked dumb desgns, not like AQ which just sucked, but like like banana paladin.
>>332348519
>Blizzard Designs
>Ok
Maybe before WoW.
Yeah, most epics end up looking overdesigned because they need to make them look like they warrant a purple name but Warcraft also has all the dull plate and generic longswords that Dark Souls fags love too, with literally thousands of different drops you can't have them all be fucking steel claymores, so they jump all over the place with the styles.

The designs in vanilla were the most tame though, still ridiculous and unrealistic but out of all the expansions it had the most tame armor design.
>>332348050
I feel after reaching level 100+ you deserve a god tier weapon. Before then you'll have the image on the left anyway, its a nice/optional change.
You can always transmog though if you refuse the neon look-at-me weapons.
