Some Side Notes & New Years Hatching Giveaway!

Wizard101 Older Textures can indeed be updated and here's how:

Hello everyone, I hope you don't mind but I wanted to talk about the texture of older gear. If you have looked at my post about this, you'll know what i'm talking about but for those who doesn't know about it at all, Wizard101 is supposed to be compatible with every older type of hardware and software which is why they really held back on texture resolutions for gears such as the commander set. But as time goes on, they really improved on texture resolutions by a small margin which isn't a whole lot but it does make a lot of difference.

The Difference in texture (Keep in Mind i'm using the Highest Settings for Texture)

 

Notice how newer gear such as duelist looks more clear then the older sets such as commander? This is why I want Wizard101 Execs to know this so that they can at least revamp some of their older gear so that it doesn't look bad. I get that they are supposed to be running on older machines but with the progression of Software and Hardware, they can find loopholes that allow for higher res textures on older machines. I'm not saying they should do this right away with a major 1 time revamp, I think its much better if you put small bits into updating textures so that it looks great on a wizard even for those on older systems. Anyways, Thank you guys for looking over at this and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Giveaway Time!!

So as you can tell, the year is almost up and well I decided to this as both a first for The Burning Spiral Blog and a first in my blogging experience. Thanks to everyone on twitter that suggested what type of pets we shall giveaway.

How does this giveaway work?

If your a twitter follower of mine, you will know that in the past I typically will make you guys RT out the post for entry which is still gonna be happening but I may or may not announce the winner on a upcoming twitch stream over at (www.twitch.tv/connorthecameowizard) instead of the usual twitter post. Basically, if you don't have a twitter account created yet, then make one so you can enter in the Pet Hatching Contest.
