    Even back in BC I thought the way they sat looked odd.

    Ok, finally home and have two GIFs for you to look at. I just wanted to illustrate the sheathing difference between the transmog version and the original WoA weapons.

    The originals and the transmog

    Now that I've seen how the originals flip like that, I can't stand it and prefer the transmog. I know, blasphemy. I hope they stay as is and fix all warglaives to do this if they don't already.

    Don't start with realism now, if you are half demon half elf or something hero fighting evil, you got ways to draw your wepns out, and you wear it with style. (ref White men cant jump). My bet is Blizz wanted handles turned to chars back and misslooked how its turning out until was too late for patch compile.
    They will fix it, no doubt.

    Post this to the blizzardcs and warcraft twitter account, imo. They need feedback to keep.

    Exactly.

    I often wonder if Blizzard even knows what they are doing sometimes or if they have a "wing it" division.

    Holy shit, you advertise something that has been iconic as fuck for like 10 years and then you're like "lel it wasn't supposed to look like that anyway".

    To be fair, I prefer them this way, as they are functional to actually getting them. But, I still want them to be the old way, nostalgia, and the fact out current glaives act like them.

    I think it looks better this way. All the other warglaives sheath similarly.

    Almost certainly they have a 'pr bullshit' division to make excuses while the developers actually do something... Or don't.

    For the record, the PvP glaives sheath the same way as the Warlgaive Xmog does.

    That is simply not true. Stop spreading lies.

    I think it's important to note here that this is how the glaives should sheath, functionally.

    When your character flexes his/her elbows to reach his/her weapons, it's important that when they reach it, it's ready for battle. The other way around would mean that your character would reach the blades by the side they are meant to attack with.

    It's as if a greatsword would be weld with the blade looking upward. Not very efficient.

    Wouldn't it be the most logical way to have them sheathe on your waist like one handed swords? Like, just hang them there and grab 'em when you need them.

    I mean, I know this isn't about realism, but I always wondered why they went with the back sheathe in the first place.

    And then you'd fall on your back and cut your arms! I don't think it's really functional to sheath them on the side. I know we're talking about Warcraft here, with swords spewing lava and shoulders that would literally crush a regular human being, but considering the fact that glaives are two-bladed swords, sheathing them on your back is the most compact (and safest) way to carry them.

    Take a look at NPC's around the fel hammer and the pvp warglaives.

    This is rediculous. There is something called: "willing suspension of disbelief" in fiction. If I'm watching Star wars and a guy riding a magical unicorn trots in, even though it's all fiction that would break the context laws and rules of the fictional universe.

    Clipping and non-functional trangmog is a BREAK in the "willing suspension of disbelief" and a major BREAK of Immersion!

    Unfunctional sheath and clipping is irritating, makes no sense, breaks immersion pointing out it's a programed game. Breaks the 3rd wall....

    Frankly it's lazy stingy game development to not deal with clipping and take the time to make things look realistic and functional.....

    Edit: they look better now than they did, but the previously posted corrected pics of the glaives vertical would be better.
