ground aoe spells suddenly look great?

[spamela]

this is an odd question, but i play on a really bad macbook and have all the graphics turned down, yet still only get about 4fps in raids. however, ever since 4.3 hit, all of the ground aoe spells (death and decay, consecration, that thing healing druids can do, etc) look AMAZING. like, i could never see the outside runic type circle thing on death

Thunderclap has always had those ground cracks, but I think they've made some spell effects more noticeable.

Some spell effects got an upgrade with 4.3. I know my druid's Hurricane and Wrath did.

you probably have projected textures turned ON now, as opposed to before when you probably had them turned off.

nope, it's still disabled!

I noticed this too. My hunter's flare illuminates the area around it now and frost trap seems to have gone back to an older effect. I never saw the rune pattern things on D&D, druid's aoe heal before, either. I used to see the veiny look of pally's consecration but it went away at some point and I'm seeing it again now. I'm using a Mac as well; maybe it has something to do with that?

I'm glad you're moving up in the world from 4 to 12 fps! I, on the other hand, have had serious lag and DC like...every hour. Which I guess isn't that bad, but...still. lol.

I'm glad you can see :D Enjoy the faster raids!
