They were already warring each other, the Aqir and the Night Elves. Even if they were trying to hold their "empires", their prime was long passed.

Why are they even wasting their time on crap like this?

**Totle** · 2012-12-23, 07:16 PM

I really hope these are the player ones.

I'm tired of every horde race sans Belves having scholiosis.

Belf
Tauren
Goblin

Trolls (and I guess foresaken, but i'd be happy with a straighter back on my mage) are the race to have the hunch back. They've always had it. Orcs should have straight backs.

i hope players can get that indigo/black skin color.

Yeah and they ALWAYS DID IT. It's part of how Trolls are in culture excluding Darkspears.

It's part of 5.2. What would you want and don't say Player models.

A lot of their animations are different though, such as their run animation. Looks different from the regular night elf one to me.

Different can only mean good. Night Elf running animation is one of the most hopeless things i've ever seen.

They always did it, as far as we know it. But we don't know about the Zandalari, whom are older than the Gurubashi and Amani Empires.

I'd actually play a troll if they didnt look like the hunchback of notre dam like on live. So I would gladly welcome the option to play as an upright standing troll.

Except that one part where Night Elves are descended from the Dark Trolls who were one of many extremely peaceful troll races.

these troll models are awesome, but the playable trolls should stay they way they are (with updated models ofc). loving my little hunch backed troll priest

**dokhidamo** · 2012-12-23, 10:21 PM

Troll hunches are part of their skeleton, not their model. So if the NElf animations are a placeholder, the Zandalari models may yet get a hunch. But even if not, those could be a baseline Blizz uses for redesigning our Trolls.

Then I'll delete all my trolls if they share nelf animations.

200% certain that won't happen. If Blizz wanted races to share animations, then we'd have new models by now. They're going all-out.

What I mean if they may take these new models as a baseline, tweak them to support a hunch better, and then add new animations (with a hunch) under them.

**Netherspark** · 2012-12-23, 10:29 PM

They'll obviously be given the same treatment as the Jinyu models - night elf skeletons but given unique animations.

**Black Scottish Cyclops** · 2012-12-23, 10:32 PM

Let's not forget that Thrall's model used the default skeleton for ages, until they gave him a unique one. It's not totally out of the question.

I'd expect by the time the patch is live they'll have a lot of unique animations that make them feel more trollish. They've been doing that a lot this expansion, using a common skeleton and giving it unique animations specific for the race (Mogu being Draenei, Jinyu being NE's, etc)
