[Feedback] Updated Blood Elf Models

Barring any unforeseen issues, the next PTR build pushed out will contain the first iteration of the new models for both Male and Female Blood Elves.

While we're excited to share with you our progress on these new models, I do want to stress that the models, textures, and animations are not entirely finished. Bug fixing and iteration can and will occur, and that's where you come in!

We'd like to consolidate all feedback on the Blood Elf model updates to this thread, to make it easier for our Artists and QA team to read over your feedback, concerns, and bug reports. Constructive criticism is the best approach, and detailed, actionable feedback will help us the most!

Known Issues:
Right now, the new models are more or less using the same facial geometry set - as in, all the males will have the same chin, eye shape, nose shape, etc. These are currently slated to be added to the models in an upcoming 6.1 build.

For more information on what Facial Geometry Sets are, refer to the Artcraft posted last year. Please keep in mind that these different customization options are not yet complete when providing your feedback on the new models.

    Tell me how the hell that spell isn't overpowered at the moment, lol. It breaks CC, increases movement speed, has no CD, and has a capability of 100% uptime.

    Might wanna' read up on Rogues if you think that's the only escape from CC you have.
  1. Navitas's Avatar
    If burst of speed lasts for 4 seconds and has a 3 second CD doesn't that mean it can still have 100% up time? Or does the CD kick in once the effect wears off?

    If it kicked in once the effect weared off, you could still spam it and nothing would have changed. I think the CD is there to prevent Rogues from spamming themselves free from snares. They still get a 100% uptime on it, though.

    Belfs looking good, didn't realise they needed such a large update into this :S
  1. Ganksinatra's Avatar
    Oh good, a nerf to Burst of Speed. That will definitely fix rogue's poor showing in the dps department. Seriously, either give us a tank or healer spec so we can actually serve a purpose, or fix our god damned dps. Is it so hard to understand that since ALL we can do is dps, that perhaps we should be good at it?
