World of Warcraft is going through significant visual enhancements with its upcoming patch, Ghosts of K’aresh.

Blizzard will introduce a new “spell density” system that will allow players to control the amount of visual effects displayed during gameplay. This improvement aims to offer clearer visuals without overwhelming players, particularly in intense raid situations.

“The new system provides game designers and artists with improved controls over which spell visuals get displayed and how.”

Translation: “La nouvelle système offre aux designers de jeu et artistes un meilleur contrôle sur les visuels de sorts affichés et la façon dont ils le sont.”

Players will have three options: “everything,” “reduced,” and “essential.” The latter option minimizes visual effects to enhance focus on key gameplay signals, especially beneficial when engaging in dungeon or raid content.

Blizzard’s adjustment is reminiscent of practices from Final Fantasy 14, where a similar mechanism helps manage the flashy graphics typical in that game. With these updates, WoW aims to improve the gaming experience while maintaining essential combat information for players.
