Similar to the melee classes and their combat animations at the start of the Legion expansion, the magic animations are now improved.<\/p>\n<h2>World of Warcraft - The country needs new spells<\/h2>\n<p>The animation renovation is a long-term project at Blizzard and the team started work over 2 years ago. Since the animation of your characters is an important part of the feel of the game and changes have far-reaching effects, everything had to be carefully considered and planned. Changing well-functioning, fluid animations for the devil just to be able to advertise with the &quot;new&quot; sign went against Blizzard&#039;s philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>Also has <strong>World of Warcraft<\/strong> moved away from the &quot;good old days&quot; when the mages in Molten Core fired one Frostbolt after another. There are now dozens of different magic variants with different magic times and the animation chain looks accordingly different. Normally, a magic animation consists of the &quot;precast&quot;, where your character wildly whirls his hands through the air. And the \u201cmissile \/ projectile launch\u201d is the moment when the magic is finished and the projectile like the Frostbolt is visibly shot down. The timings for this have changed a lot and the revision of the animations had to take this into account.<\/p>\n<p>Blizzard also provides some short videos for better visualization:<\/p>\n<div

can find a longer video with further animations at the beginning of the article.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to all these considerations, there is also the question of performance. World of Warcraft and especially the graphics engine is now a good 12 years old, even if it has been continuously adapted and improved. Nevertheless, WoW has the advantage of running well on older computers. So when it comes to revising the animation, the developers cannot simply exaggerate and turn every arcane projectile into a hundred-meter-large disco ball with glitter effects in 32K resolution. Especially in raids with 20+ people, the effect density is sometimes a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Whoever wants to read the exact explanations and a look behind the scenes will find this <a href=\"https:\/\/worldofwarcraft.com\/de-de\/news\/20946579\/neue-kampfanimationen-im-patch-7-3-einfach-zauberhaft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blog on the Blizzard homepage.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the upcoming World of Warcraft Patch 7.3, Blizzard has given a preview of the revised spell animations.
