It’s looks amazing, don’t get me wrong but it doesn’t look like WoW, if that make sense.
The console-game look doesn’t suit it after 15years of the stylized cartoonish look imho.

One does not simply switch a game engine.
It would require an immense amount of resources, and that does not exist.

That most certainly wont happen for 10.0. or ever. The game is supposed to run on a toaster.
Pretty sure UE4 games run better on toasters than wow engine

No, just no. It looks great but it is not wow.

You can not swap engine in game ,it would require for game to be created form scratch.
Yes most games created with UE have similar look becouse UE have huge library of object and creators simply " drag drop " objects to save time which is main purpose of UE to begin with.
That being said ,you can create wow look with UE by creating custom objects and characters.

Yes it runs more smoothly because the engine is better. But not everyone can run the UE4 engine while everybody can run the relic engine WoW is using.

Don’t know about, I had toaster back in college years ago and over years WoW become harder and harder to run while older UE titles ran just fine on low graphics

WoW becomes harder and harder because they still ugrade the engine. The engine received several upgrades over the years. As for UE ye sure you can turn the stuff on so low graphics that you might as well scrap the thing from the get go.
And it still stands that the resources this would swallow are just not feasible. For WoW2 ye sure why not. For WoW currently? No way.

My point is WoW engine no more toaster friendly than UE not if switch to UE would make sense which, as you already said, is practically impossible.
UE5 inc, better aim for that!
I am aware youre trolling but imma bite regardless.
Even if Blizzard had the resources to swap the entire game into UE5 they still wouldnt do it because it would result in a loss for them further down the line due to UE5 not being Toaster friendly. Not even putting everything on low could cope with that.
Well, yes ofc. I have no problems with current WoW engine, performance or otherwise.
if wow doesnt have the cartoony artstyle its not wow for me tbh. ue games kind of all look the same and dont age that well. maybe they look nice for the moment but that gets dull real fast for me.

Ye but you never know who actually gets the glorious idea of supporting that and then trying to “persuade” Blizzard to actually do it.
Oh there are plenty of issues with the current engine. Stuff Blizzard admitted due to how the game functions right now compared to Vanilla. Amongst others. However most of them arent something to lose ones head over. Some issues like the infamous world boss lag could even be isolated as to not affect the entire zone.
Because it wouldnt be WoW. WoW is designed to be cartoony.
Engine has nothing to do with visual style.

I’m not sure how well Unreal engine supports mmo style games, quick googling and well not really ideal. Big studios almost always have their own engine, specifically created to support the games they want to make.
Have you noticed how all these amazing, modern looking MMOs all end up being garbage? Bless Online, Estellia. AIR gets delayed time and again because they focus too much on making it look pretty. They also all end up looking the same. I can show you a screenshot from WoW and you know it’s WoW. You see a screenshot from any of those great looking games and you can’t recognize it because they all look the same.

Correct. But what people have whenever they mention Unreal are these videos from youtube and thats what schmuse is mainly aiming at.
