    Models fixed in Legion?

    So as some people may know, helmets have been clipping on the new models since they were first introduced. Some lazy fixes have gone out but some races (like Human Male) still has such a distorted helmet that many helmets show the head itself through the back of them.

    Does anyone know if this amateur level job will be fixed in Legion?

    It was fixed on ptr, but I think they just made the helmets a little bigger.

    So the 'fix' just made the issue even worse with circlets and similar that protrude like half a decimeter from the forehead on live?

    Well, you could try the PTR and see it out for yourself.

    I don't currently have access to it and I don't feel like downloading 30 GB+ just to see if this behemoth of a company has fixed something so low level that's been around for years.

    people are used to show no helm option but now
    they probably are "forced" to fix it, because of wardrobe changes
    but rest assured, what ever they fix, they can unfix

    I've seen some helmet model changes, but the more important one to me is the hugely reduced clipping between cloaks and sheathed twohanders on the new models in Legion.
    All I need now is the eye glow on my undead death knight being fixed. Not much hope for that though I think.

    It's not just human male. Literally every two handed axe/sword on a female human clips like hell through her shoulder and elbow. And every time she runs her tabard flows back and clips through the weapon as well.

    Blizzard don't care about clipping, evidently.

    Feels like it's less about clipping and more about quality and attention to detail. As long as the reviewers say "the new models look great" you don't need to bother anymore.

    Checked the T5 warrior helmet on my female human warrior, it's fixed.

    But now BE ears clip through helmets. :/

    I actually always thought they did that. But after googling I can actually see it was always their eyebrows that did it.

    Very weird to change that tbh.

    I'm sad female orc shoulder pads are still gigantic. They tend to clip through my head during idle animations and are just silly. Even ones that are perfectly reasonable on other characters.

    Yet Undead has the smallest shoulderpads, even gnomes pads are bigger. Very weird design choices.

    nope, in fact they fucked up female belfs on a lot of helms, ears poke through some which they don't do on live (i.e. t10 dk helm).

    They did fix a bunch of them. The ear clipping seems to be a side effect

    It's great that you have to visit the transmog vendor to hide your helm now

    If that were the case why would they bother fixing cloak clipping?

    Okay I'll give you that one. But still. Non-caster Human females are unplayable. The clipping drives me insane.

    Just downloaded the Beta to find out, and it looks like Human Male helmets are fixed.
