DT Benchmark Speculation

yeah updates comming out in waves
they even said "Racial gear will have the updated texture"
so not all gear at launch will have updated graphics
and that will piss people off for awhile

And then, by the time they're done updating the graphics for the entire game, they will need to be updated again! LOL

Must be why they said "the first graphical update". They know the truth.

They say it like that because they already said the update will be rolled out in separate 'stages'. 'First update' will only be affecting Dawntrail stuff as well as a bunch of 'fundamental' thing that will apply retroactively, which will include things like grass rendering and character models. And then they will have separate updates to, well, update graphics in earlier expansions, which I imagine will include areas and gear primarily.

I disagree. While the first update will be rolled out over many patches, the way they presented it, they fully expect there to be another graphical update in the future. That could be in 4 years, 8 years, or whenever.
