All Old PvP Loading Screens Replaced
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello community! I want to share a compilation of loading screens and PvP-related issues to improve the game experience. All the old PvP loading screens have been updated with fresh, new versions (this includes Battlegrounds and Arenas).
Note: The Lich King loading screens remain unchanged.
Some of the most iconic screens have also been changed as part of this effort.

- Bonus:
BG Rating Macro:
/run local w,t=GetStatistic(840)or 0,GetStatistic(839)or 0;if t-w>0 then print(("[Rating: %.0f]"):format((t/(t-w))*1000))end
Since MMR isn't available in WotLK bgs, this macro estimates an approximate "rating" based on your total wins/losses (similar to Rated Battlegrounds). Useful for comparing performance across characters or with friends.


- For those who use ReShade:
I recently discovered iMMERSE iMMERSE on GitHub, the successor to qUINT. I bring it up mainly because of iMMERSE Sharpen, which is a big improvement over DELC Sharpen (that one often oversharpened everything, including the sky, which should remain smooth).

Make sure you’re running the latest version of ReShade and enable iMMERSE Launchpad. Launchpad acts as a prepass that supplies essential data (like normal vectors and optical flow vectors) for many iMMERSE and iMMERSE Pro effects (Patreon). Just turn it on and move it to the very top of your shader list—otherwise you may run into weird shadow artifacts.

As for Ambient Occlusion, I’ve tested it and it requires Vulkan to work; it doesn’t function with DirectX 9. You can follow his guide on the depth buffer, or try using qUINT_mxao.fx

Anyway, here’s an image showing the difference with iMMERSE Sharpen off vs. on:

I hope some of you enjoy it!

Nice loading screens!

It would have been nice if blizz had made the game so that it automatically changed the image every time it loads.
Except for dungeons, raids and battlegrounds since it already happens for these.

Thanks for the links!

Love the loading screens! It’d be great if Blizzard made them rotate automatically on each load — aside from dungeons, raids, and battlegrounds, which already do. Appreciate the links!
