Fear of the new model soon(tm) to be Blood Elf.

[Vasaru]

Good. Who the hell wants to play alliance. You GF is making the right choice.

People who don't have poor taste.

Most grown ups don't feel the need to get upset about silly harmless jokes

Yeah, most.

[Feali]

Maybe they will turn out something like this.

Yes, please.

[Celista]

Because if they make Blood Elf look even better as they already do, like they did with the female Orc.
I fear my girlfriend will turn us into Horde, cus really I ain't going to stop her playing the faction she wants.

But I'll be a very sad Gnome, as I'll always play the same faction as her, so.. Yeah, fear the new Blood Elf model!
She is fond of them!

Blizzard better do a better job on Night Elf and Draenei!

Why can't you play on opposite factions? Play alts or something when you want to play together. Do you HAVE to do everything together in game?

Also you already know Night Elf and Draenei are going to be awesome, they have always been better looking than the female blood elf model.

That actually doesn't look too bad, and I wouldn't be surprised if the revealed model looks quite similar.

That would be so awesome. Don't care really for the girl ones at all, but were that the case they might win me over. (Please though, make their speech style/tone less ear bleeding.)

You mean the Dreamworks face?

Well, in the case of Tangled it's the Disney face, neither Pixar nor Dreamworks is behind that on.

<--- another gnome here, except I can't hear the lame joke about punting over the sound of how awesome gnomes are.

That sound you hear, is just all the collective screams of gnomes being punted.

I always thought the San'layn looked a lot more like the Blood Elf casters than the actual models we got, and a higher quality model. So with mt thanks to Shoc for tweaking the base just a little, I took the image and gave them the skin color of classic Sin'dorei and the classic hair color. I also explored giving a warlock fel runic markings on their arms, and since we are becoming wannabe demon hunters with warlocks, I went with that too.




I tihnk their racial mount should have been levitation, with much more dynamic and responsive animations than that we got with that priest spell that started out as just an invisble floor, then evolved to be a kind of token "hey I'm floating" but if you tried moviing it looked like shit. We should be able to soar from left to right and lean into it. And then at level 60 you get to be Storm.



Rangers would ride Lynxes from Quel'thalas, smaller cousins to Nightsabers, instead of chocobo clones.


In reality I expect them to still have that annoying flippant hip thing going on, but their body won't look like it was broken and twisted and contorted into that pose as "good enough" but rather it will look as if it was created with that pose intended for the model, so it will be a massive improvement, even if I wish they stood proud and tall and regal like the Silver Moon guard with their chin in air.



I'd love an alternative High Elf like this updated with pandaren fidelity assets somehow wedged into the Alliance with custom animations and their own custom idle stance along with eyes.

That's what bugs me the most about the current blood elf models, that they are supposed to have tattoos according to lore and their in-game model doesn't depict that.

I think these two images really sum up what I think blood elves should look like (despite the fact that Nozdormu is a dragon).

That actually looks really damn good. If the new model turns out looking like that, I'll take it.

[lunchbox2042]

Just give the females a bit of a torso. It feels like they'd get crushed if anyone hugged them.

[Celista]

I think the problem w/the female model isn't necessarily the skinny torso, but how thin their arms/legs look, with no muscle definition.

Believable if you're playing a caster, if playing a melee class...yeah no.

That first one is "milk out your nose" level hilarious.

o.O

How so?

[Giscoicus]

As long as we dont get giant eyes like the female dorfs idc, my priest is staying elf either way

[GrieverXIII]

It's so cute how you say, "turn US into Horde".

If you're not playing Horde, you're doing it wrong!

And this is why faction balance went to shit. Seriously, grow up.

It went to shit because people like to play Elves with glowy green eyes.

Don't know when rooting for a faction became child's behaviour? But I guess people who have a favorite sports team or anything like it, are childs too.

[Celista]

And this is why faction balance went to shit. Seriously, grow up.

The playerbase is like 52% alliance, 48% horde.

[Super Kami Dende]

My entire choice of faction for WoD comes down to the Human and Belf models.

[Deleted]

And I came to this thread hoping it is something serious... but it's something that I shouldn't say so I won't get infracted.
OT, I want the Belfs to look awesome.

[TheWindWalker]

o.O

How so?

Because someone took Illidan's head and drew it as to look like it was simply recolored and pasted over a San'layn's face. Reminiscent of the "Photoshop the Warlords" thread.

You know you can chose between using the old or the new char models, right?
