    Am I the only one that HATES the new way the Orcs run?! Their arms just flailing about just like the Pandarens. It looks stupid! Most of my horde characters are Orc and after seeing this I don't think I'll ever play an Orc again. I can't be the only one that hated that.

    I'm actually wishing the new orc model was in the game now >.< The one we have is so terrible. I've tried playing a pandaren, and the arm swing of the orcs is nothing compared to the lope like run of the pandaren...

    It's so hard for me to watch these videos >.< the guy playing the classes is terrible >.<

    am I the only one that thinks the new zones look generic or uninspiring?

    was hoping the art team could get their collective heads out of their asses (armor this xpac has been ugly), and create something unique.

    guess not :/

    Like your comment on the MoP gear I disagree with your gereric zones comment. The Frostwolf zone especially. I am looking forward to leveling through both story lines in their entirety.

    I hope the model for thrall is just a place holder because I dont think its necessary to change his model again, I like the way he looks now and I would think that his shaman side would be more fitting for Draenor than his warrior side.

    Yup, very generic. Zone design has been shit since cata.

    He still does loads of shammy stuff. I'm excited to see Thrall in his old armour. His dress made no sense.

    Just as I thought, the face options look exactly the same (oh wait, I can see a wrinkle on his forehead!)
    And for anyone saying "WORK IN PROGRESS STFU" - keep living in your naive bubble.
    Are you serious? All those faces are obviously the same, which means in those videos the various difference orc faces aren't implemented yet. Go make an orc on live and see how every face is very different. Placeholder image is placeholder image.

    Was going to say that Blizzard needs to do something special to bring me in to play this time around in this expansion. What they have showed me wasn't anything special or doing the job. But, it mainly appears to be showing off the new character models which look great. Good job!

    Oh but they aren't, that's the funny part. Why would Blizzard go out of their way to adjust a texture by adding different wrinkles on their face (which, for all it's worth, look actually well made and polished) if it was only meant to be a placeholder?

    I must admit I too have gone from being pleased with the first peek of the new orc model to being very disappointed with the look of the orcs in this update.

    Their faces all look the same and the scale is off, Bratz lollipop look with small hunched bodies. Too comical as far as I am concerned. I am assuming (hoping) that all the models in this basically have 1 face as that's all they have made so far and that this will change as more come on line, but currently I'd probably set mine to keep the old model as I don't like the gormless look this one has.

    That being said, I think the scale is off in any event, head is too big, body is too peon like.
