Glad to see that Pepe's budding career as a fashion model is finally starting to take off.
Um. Pet Battles week. Yay?Weak. Where's my Timewalking? I have badges to spend (and earn).
hope blizz will be releasing a computer tester download for legion cause it sounds like a few ppl could use it to see how their PC will handle legion
Additionally: Take a closer look at the requirements for Legion and the graphics cards that is advised for the recommended.'The 64 Bit, 750 Titanium or beter, or AMD Radeon Equivalent or higher.A minimum of a smaller older Quad core processor in the 1155 pin circuit for intel or an FX AMD processor.Look at the instructions set these requirements are capable of.It would seem to me that Blizz is asking players to upgrade, in order to take advantage of teh New Direct X12 instruction set, for optimal play.And, It is a sound recommendation....I would be terribly upset if Blizz had recommended anything short of this.Even for their preferred build:nVidia 750Ti ; On sale now at Tiger Direct and Amazon for $105 (Possible Rebate)AMD 8350 8-Core processor + liquid Cooling solution ; About $200 Most likely less by a little)750 Watt Power supply $60 to $130 (Depending on the quality and maker)Rosewill Challenger Case. $50 (comes with all necessary fans for cooling, a bit flimsy, but if is a mid series case)16 gigs Ram 1600 to 2400 O.C. between $64 and $140 (Pending Maker, speed, and quality)2TB HDD for $80500GB SSD -/+ for between $100 and $350 (Pending Maker, quality , and speed)a Decent DvD Re-writer with software $35 21 to 23 inch 1920 x 1080 Monitor (100, 000, 000 to 1 with 1 or 2 MS G to G response) Starting at $130 and you choice of keyboard and mouseMy last budget gaming build for a customer was invoiced at $825.As you can imagine my costs were not that hgh, I did cut a profit.So I would suggest, since many would not get my Business discount, that you and DIY and get the price around the $700 mark for a decent build that may be upgrade-able for almost another year before teh new MB's and instruction sets come out later this year.
Looks like my 6 year old will be able to run Legion on Good without any issues :)Not that it really matters since, I was planing on upgrading to a Skylake setup before Legion.
wow my PC barely made it !
The problem I have is that I have a dual graphics card set up in my laptop. I have the awful default Intel graphics card which Blizz always complains about when it does the system check , but I have the NVidia 660m chip that runs WoD like a pro. So...as long as they don't stop the game as they did with Diablo 3 when it detected the "default" Intel card , I would hopefully be fine. They always give PC requirements though, not laptop - the mobile graphics cards are somewhat different..
Everyone is obsessing over spec requirements as if they've never updated a computer for an upcoming game release before....And I'm like: OMG PERCULIA, where can I get those black and pink shoes?
I'm with you, it's not hard & fairly inexpensive to build your own rig...http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nYsr3CThrew that together in 10minutes, all new parts, all the recommended specs for under $700... could easily trim the costs not using an SSD and going AMD over intel i5. This is assuming you re-use your monitor (after-all if your playing already... you should have one...), and it says DVD drive required... but most people will digital download anyways.
*Illidan looks to my PC and says*:"YOU ARE NOT PREPARED"But hey! We are buying the WoW Token with ingame gold for what? We can use the extra real Life money to upgrade or buy a new PC for Thrall's sake. People still buying the $15 game time off the shop have to be rich. And don't come with the "I barely have time to play the game properly to farm gold". You know you can log everyday for around only 5 minutes on each toon and do the follower and ship missions for the gold right?If I were of those people that can have at least a few bucks every month off their jobs, sparing some real life cash while buying the ingame time with gold... I'd have enough money to buy a full and new PC, just have to make the plans beforehand, and be smart about it.
The minimum specs are more than reasonable. The minimum parts they listed are all dirt cheap, multiple-generation-old hardware. If you can already play WoW, I can guarantee 99% that you'll be able to play Legion. If your PC is such an ancient potato that a Phenom II X3 (less than $40 used), a GT 440 (like $30 used), or 2 GB of RAM is intimidating, you need to upgrade to something that isn't chiseled out of stone, regardless.
If you didn't need a multi button mouse in WoD or MoP your not going to need one in Legion.
Great, have to look for a new computer or face even more insane lag.Why is DVD-ROM listed? Lots of computers don't even bother with those anymore. Strange that they would put that on there.
I will never upgrade to Windows 10 on my gaming PC it may be worse than Vista , sory Blizz no way in Heck
Okay.I used my old desktop for 10 years it was a single core win xp machine.2gb capped ram and only a 512mb videocard.i played WoD on lowest settigns fine, apart from raids which had serious fps drops (talking single digits at times the MC event was a pretty steady 5fps)I now got a cheap i3 last year with intel hd 4400 and play on low/medium settigns pretty well and about only frame drop is the fight in foundry vs the 2 ogron's.I planned to buy a gtx 950 or 960 in a month (140-220$) so atleast i know it will keep me able to play Legion :D (and prolly hit high settigns atleast)
DirectX 9 engine is obsolete and slow, DirectX 11 engine is poor at best, so recommending Windows 10 is completely pointless for this game. Sadly, engine will never change, no DirectX 12/Mantle/Vulkan...
