And I'm assuming that those two shots are taken at the same zoom level right?

Yes, only changing the resolution.
Zooming and camera at login position.
max zooming at default value.

This is good news indeed

made 4 screenshots to better show the difference with WotLK

The 4 Screens where made at the NE starting location direkt after creating the Char.
The char isn't moved, the camera isn't moved and the camera isn't zoomed in or out.

Screen 1: Live-Server 1280x1024
Screen 2: Live-Server 3840x1024
Screen 3: Beta-Server 1280x1024
Screen 4: Beta-Server 3840x1024


The color difference is because the Beta Server is running on PDT Time and the Live Server I play on at CEST. It's a 9 hour time difference, on the first 2 screens it's 6:51 pm and on the last 2 it's 10:39 am.

The UI scaling is a bit different, but it has no effect on the rendered frame only on the interface.

I posted this on the homepage. Thanks again.

the warhammer mmo is also hor+.

edit: meant to post this on a totally different forum. too many open windows. :)

Here WOW @ 5040x1050. Took a bit of tweaking, but I got it. Only problem is that it runs a little choppy. I'm going to attempt a reload of the game.

3x Samsung 22" 226BW monitors w TH2G ; Maximus Formula mobo ; Xeon 3220 Quad Core processor (H2O cooled) ; 8GB Mushkin HP2 6400 ram ; 280GTX video card ; Xonar sound card ; 2x 74GB raptor HDD in raid 1 for OS; 2x 500GB baracuda HDD storage ; Vista Ultimate x64

What tweaking? Is this on the beta server, or a normal one?

WOW wouldn't do 5040x1050 off the hop. I had to modify a config file to make it work. Even with the GTX280 card...I'm getting very low framerates. I'm sure the driver is still in beta. Another problem is I can't get the distance from my toon like I did when I ran 1680x1050. Even 3860x1050 works. I'm kinda thinking I'm not really getting full res.

Normal Server.

Normal server is Vert-, severely so in TH2Go. You need the beta server to get the full distance to your toon.

I have only 1 thing to say.

I will try that. Now my other big issue is the low framerates are killing me. Starts to give me a headache after a few minutes.

This vert- thing was just about the only thing holding me back from getting WoW. And if I do give in I'll have 4 friends to power level me. Needless to say I'm looking forward to the patch.

My roommate did some kind of console command that made the vert- a little easier to bear. It was something like this:This allowed me to zoom a little bit farther back.

Very excited to see the change - I'm playing at 3840x1024, with the viewport chopped to 1280x1024 like most people. This will give me a reason to close Cartographer once in a while. :)

My monitors are aging (NEC 1760V's) - they're about 5-6 years old - and are starting to accumulate dead pixels, each has one or two. I'm going to be replacing them soon and I've been thinking about going to the 1680x1050 size with the digital TH2G, I have the analog one now. Video card is a single 8800GTX. Is there a thread somewhere that compares available monitors now? I haven't been able to find anything.

With the yesterday arrived patch 3.0.2(3.0.1 exactly) "Echoes of Doom" the change made it to the live servers.
Every (because you have to patch to play) WoW-client is now Hor+ (except the chinese client AFAICS).
Also if your account is not upgraded to burning crusade or wrath of the lichking your client gets upgraded.

Wiki and this Report should be updated soon.

I can confirm this. Here is a 4:3 - 16:10 comparison:



The 4:3 screen was taken at 1024x768, and the 16:10 was 1440x900. The images were rescaled to 480px high.

The camera were the same, same zoom, same position, etc.

Finally.. The Vert- was about to make a headache to me :lol:

Nah, better Hor+ than Vert- :P

It's a shame the cinematic clips are still Vert- though. : (
