Absolutely lovely! One thing, though...

I NEED THE FETLOCK FUR,,,, sobs pls bring it back I need at least a little fur around her hooves nnnnnnnnnnoooo

But I absolutely love her anyway <3 ( And can't wait to see the new female night elf since I've learned they scrapped that one! I liked her though. o: )

Very nice.

I like very much indeed.

I'm actually disappointed theres no fur like on the April fools one. =/

Just because someone asks you to do something, doesn't mean you have to do it. Pathetic Website. To hell.

Theoretically possible.. but why not let the hype start now and offer something REALLY mind-blowing in the form of the Beta/really hype things up? Just my line of thinking though.

The orc model preview looks freaking odd. Not the design but the stance, like his legs are swiveled one way and his body the other.

Kowtowing to the man and removing screenshots? Lame man, lame. Whatever happened to the scrappy mmo site that believed in freedom of information, not repressing it just because a faceless evil corporation said to? Fight the power and repost the screenshots! What are they gonna do about it considering it's publicly posted information gotten from their data they made public?

Maybe because it is copyrighted material which they cannot republish without permission??

agreed;

don't like it, there are plenty of other races; the whole point of this, and it taking so long ... was to keep them mostly the same, correct? so people didn't feel a disconnect when it went live, right?

Well, I think if they did something as drastic as a posture change, they wouldn't need to just give a free re-customization, but a free race change option.


I also think the dimorphism argument is quite weak, since, most of the people you meet irl, are quite that way. There is no reason for androgynous neutral postured races and genders to be the norm in fantasy games. Variety is the spice of life; and more realistic.

I don't think anyone is arguing that it would work in real life, but many of us feel that this is the way the Draenei should look like. The pose doesn't look weird to me, it simply looks really good. Same with their movement. I love it. It's playfull and cool, and I find it fitting. I'm a woman who is not into other women either, so it's not my gender talking either. I just like the draenei pose. I like variations in poses. I like the angle of the undead too. People argue about that aswell, and the orc hunch.

If the original pose was removed, I would feel my Draenei would lose something, and look more like an ordinary human. I don't like the human pose on other races than those who has a typical human skin colour. If I see something with green, blue, or whatever other colour, of it's skin, and it has a human pose(when close to a human figure), it gets dull and uninteresting.

this person gets it; you are attached to your toon you've had for years; it would lose something, its flavor, character.

I've also known girls who had this very posture. Was good friends with one. Shoulders back, boobs stuck out, and her butt stuck out. It actually doesn't look unnatural at all to me because of this. The poster relating it to muscular distrophy is being quite exaggerative, maybe I'm seeing it less curved than it is, maybe they are seeing it more; maybe I just knew someone who really knew how to stick out their butt and boobs and walk comfortably

The old model looks alot better, the new one looks like the Draenei got old and somehow mutated.

I really dislike her dainty little elf face. She looks like she'd talk with a high pitched nasal voice. She just LOOKS annoying.

All in all, this is the first one I am disappointed in.

I'm surprised that Blizzard asked MMO-champ to take the Alpha zone pictures. Maybe there's a big update comming and they didn't want others to see the big change, who knows.

why is her mouth/bottom of her face sticking out more?

Supposedly cloaks are more flowing now, rather than the soft flexible cardboard we have now. but don't quote me on this.

We'll see the animations sometime I guess. With the dynamic movement and flowing animation, the /swagger and /waggle of the female draenai will be brought to new heights.

New Gender based racial ability: Any ally or enemy beside a female draenai when she is walking will be knocked down by her /swagger.

Female draenei are amazing. I can't decide if making one a mage or a death knight or even a warrior. >.<

The old models are looking better.

Looks pretty good. <3
