Player Orcs need straight-backed posture

[Claymore]

Seriously hoping Blizzard changes their minds on this... : /

[Luko]

If only my Orc warrior could look like that, wtf are those hideous things we've been playing up to now?!

You chose to roll a race you thought was hideous?

Huh. Personally I roll orcs because they're awesome looking. As is.

Erect postures are for Alliance and gay elves.

tauren technically stand upright, they just have a hunch, but there chests are vertical. meaning you can see there chest armor/tabards the right way.

You must hate most orc animations then when they raise their chin above their diaphragm, you must really hate all their artwork and concept art and wallpapers and paintings and statues and custom in game models and cinematic models and every orc in the fucking world except for the player model and some trading card game art based on the player model from freelance artists. It must have been a total breath of fresh air for you to see this weird new hunched orc in WOW after so many years in Warcraft without it.

Or you're just a species of nub who came to know orcs through their WOW player model. Oh, ho-ho. New players. Will they ever learn? It's a good thing I was playing Warcraft from the moment Blizzard began development so I can't ever be a new player.

Broken record time.

That's the funny thing, nobody is asking for erect postures, they are asking for the "proper" hunch for the thinking man's orc of tomorrow who is into poetry and origami. No actually, that's absurd, posture should not carry such vague stereotypical bias in these people's minds, but hey, humans do love their tribalism. It's sad watching so many of you fail to recognize this distinction of no hunch vs normal hunch while touting your little "ace in the hole" around on your home made T-shirts and campaign signs oddly proclaiming homophobic victory because decrepit posture= edgy and non decrepit posture=lame alliance. Thank the gods we have internet locker room nerd jocks to set us straight on our lameness. Maybe they can come back when they have something legitimate to add, many of us had hoped to escape this kind of bullshit in middle school or high school, or the few sorry souls who still trust the system and seek to join the college fraternity.

Posture too erect for you? Think about your taxes and try not to get too excited.

I still think they would just look INFINITELY more badass without the hunch...

It is both pitiful and disappointing that Blizzard's artists are free enough to create such brilliant CGI designs of orcs within the Cinematic trailer, only to have their designs shot down and destroyed out of liberal angst that players would be upset by such extravagant design changes in game. It is even more ridiculous when you discover that new models are in fact an option; such changes can be reversed with the click of a button within the UI.

The cinematic displayed orc's faithfully, Grommash stands tall and imposing, along with EVERY OTHER ORC WITHIN THE CINEMATIC. His in-game model will surely be changed to reflect that, and we will have to look on in annoyance as blizzard refuses to make the same changes for player models.

The upright but muscular large trapezius looks perfect.
Shame

I Agreeeeeeee

[Queen of Hamsters]

I am 100% sure that we will get the option to choose Orcs standing proud one day. Now with the new models it feels like they'd be more motivated to do so. ^^
They look SO badass when they stand tall and proud!!

Did you really have to resurrect this thread?

Reported for offering nothing of consequence to the discussion.
This is still a legitimate issue. Discourse on the subject still relevant. Better than creating new thread.

[pikachui]

so why dont they just add a nonhunched option? that way the people who wanna still have the peon look can keep it and everybody else can have the upright badass look

Because that makes sense.

I mean, most of the orc's animations are upright already, so all you'd have to do is alter the idle animation. No one cares if they hunch over in their "combat-ready pose" or lurch forward when they run. I just want to stand like every single orc has in every iteration of warcraft ever made.

[Mawnix]

Didn't they say once the new models in and as they add more customization options, upright Orcs will become a real thing?

Because it's not a priority to waste dev time appealing to a vocal minority of the playerbase that plays orcs, which is already a fraction of the playerbase itself.

Yes but these guys didn't get the memo.

Actually they gave the usual "We'll look into it" response they give for everything.

[Sam the Wiser]

I'm just waiting to see when they start selling skins and what not in the store.

Red orcs now on the ingame store for only $30!!! We are practically giving them away for that price!

LOL, get a load of this guy.

Oh boy, another Hitler Youth whose opinions and vernacular were informed by Obama being president when they finally became aware of the outside world and started watching the news with their parents.

[Gourmandise]

Is there any blizzard art that exists of hunched orcs?
