Top 1 with the Azerite UI addon
Like it's even a debate. Fan made is far better.
Im going to need to someone make an addon for this, as minor as it is it really looks awesome. (Specially since I will see this screen a lot during lauch)
Yes this is a lot better. I hope Blizzard notices this. Its just the little things that add up.
This is definitely better than what we have but I feel that simply making the original buttons a brown/gold color like the one in the expansion logo would be a much better fit. The yellow text looks fine with this background.
Looks cool, but these buttons are from the BFA website: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/battle-for-azerothI believe Blizzard create these too?I think the red is more iconic tho, and they are crispier now too.
The text color is the least of my complaints with the SL login screen, and BFA's for that matter. The main problem is that, compared to pre-BfA login screens, these are two static, and lack depth. Probably due to the fact they have no 3D elements/animation in it. Only 2D with slowly moving textures. Because of that, it looks more like a golden Hearthstone card's animations than something fitting of the World of Warcraft login screen. When you compare this and BfA's screens to Sindragosa in front of ICC, Deathwing on Stormwind, or all 3 Dark Portals, it really pales in comparison to the wow-factor of previous expansion login screens..
I like it, but I prefer the Blizzard one for consistency sake.
This actually looks sick, i hope they use this.
Love the fanart, but I do for some reason still like the OG red and yellow!
How do random fans make better art and models than Blizzard can lol.
My opinion is this is one of those if it's not broken, don't fix it things. Other than the Lich King login screen, the buttons have always been red. I believe it's easier to read the yellow text on the red background than the fan made one plus i don't like how there is this black line going through each of the buttons making the text harder to read.
Some people feels the urge to mock blizzard anyways. No matter what a "fan" makes, they'll root for it. Personally, this fanmade screen looks horrible. Color combination is a thing which is completely missing from here. But hey, lets cheer for it cuz fan always made better things than blizz
Not wanna harp on some fanmade content. But I actually like Blizzards variant more. The white color of the new buttons is not the problem, more the shape and features. The little ornaments in the middle of the buttons make the text that's also in the middle just a tiny bit "harder" to read, it's more a distraction from the text. Second, the button shape creates a dissonance with the square text boxes. Third, the buttons left and right are too close to the screen border, which creates a weird "unstyled" look.Again, good effort, but I think it would suffice to keep Blizz's buttons and to just change the colors.Edit: Actually, what Ub3rfr3nzy said makes sense. Red buttons are better if all buttons in the (standard ui) game are red.
Blizzard should really concider using fan-made art, or at least take notes and learn from them. :)
