I have had a feeling that the login might change from patch to patch or even via certain flags such as you beating the final boss of the tier ect. I think it would be a neat way to keep the login screen fresh during the expansion.
With current login screen on Live, it feels like a I am imprisoned inside that horribly looking wooden box with a glowing effect in the middle. 😬This is much better and looks great! 😀
It looks like concept art not an actual login screen...I don't mind the new login screen IF they advance it as the expansion progresses.Edit: just logged into beta and the new login screen is the one that wowhead is uploaded but with the prior login screen circle shrunk and still stuck to the middle. Clearly bugged.
Immensely better than what we had.
YES! the last one looked like Hearthstone login screen
much better login screen. love it
This one's comments seem overwhelmingly positive compared to the instant disappointment players felt seeing the brown wall for the first time.I am confused about the perspective now though. What exactly are we looking through? Why does the brown wall have a portal in it's center?
The art team has done it again! Those guys always do a fantastic job.
If it was their idea since the beginning, to make it appear closed ruing pre-patch, and then change into the "open" version when expac launches, then that's a cool small thing, and I am up for seeing more stuff like that :P
I'd just have it without the gloryhole
You know there is nothing to say this is in reaction to feedback, this may have always been the intention. In my minds eye I can see the outer crust breaking away to reveal the world within the expansion.
I was hoping that what we have now would slowly crack apart every major patch (change of season) to eventually open up to become the log in screen for Midnight, which in turn would slowly become the log in screen for The Last Titan. But I think that may have been asking for too much.
I like that one much better than the current prepatch version....and yes, we can give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt and believe that's how it was planned from the start. ;)
