Upright forsaken animations

[SoulSoBreezy]

@SoulSoBreezy <<<< That’s the guy who made the vid btw.

Looks sick as fuck but I’ve never really played undead so it doesn’t/won’t affect me. Looks really good though.

Hey, a thing I did!
It's been said in the thread but this particular animation is shared across multiple races (but not all). These are the most prominent though and because of the wowhead screenshots and upright orc news, this seemed relevant.
Of course don't forget! This is Alpha and these might not turn out to be a default animation but something else entirely.

Forsaken is my most used race. Will be great to have options like this. Some of my forsaken characters will like this. Others will remain the same.

Horde bias intensifying

[Ithekro]

So slightly jiggly mostly dead women?

[Highwhale]

This undead approves. If it's an option, it will be great (same with exposed-no exposed bones).

Then roll human? What point of playing as UNDEAD and not wanting exposed bones?

I just feel like the hunched forsaken is the only hunched race that made sense.

Exactly.

You sure that's for undead, not the thin humans?

Like it looks really out of place on an undead compared to before...

Yea pretty much this. Its tested on undead but animations most likely for Thin Humans.

I mean, there are unhunched undead types in the game already. The only Horde race where the hunch is an absolute part of who they are would be Darkspear Trolls.

Why would they have both male and female sets? Thin humans only have a male model and they use the female undead skeleton. As for the bones, it'd be nice to wear something without it immediately exploding at the elbows and knees. The fixed posture would also help with certain helms as currently they jut out way too far. It'll be nice for tabards too.

Most importantly, these are options. Why does mmochamp get so venomous towards people having a choice? Don't like it? Not undead enough for you? Cool, don't use it.

Because it's nonsensical that every new piece of armour has them showing through? Okay, maybe for cloth it makes some sense if you really push it (bone is sharp), but leather? Plate? No, it looks stupid. Besides, they can still look plenty undead with a hunch and their faces exposed.

Opinion: I like what they did to female undeads. I do not like the way they changed male undeads.

correct, for females looks fine but for males.. a downgrade and a lose of identity imo.

[Bathory]

While I've been dying for straight back forsaken long before orcs, I think they should keep their lumbering locomotion.

Torn atm. Damn.

Completely agree

Well that's why it being an option would be preferably. Decide if you want the hunch or not.

Myself I'd probably be straight backed even if only for the simple fact that the hunch makes a lot of helmets look absolutely awful on Forsaken males which ruins a ton of potential transmogs. However, I think Blizzard would have told us if upright undead were in the works, so sadly I believe this will remain an NPC only deal.

[mizeri]

wish we could get the chinese WoW's undead model, i think it looks better without the bones showing.

[Techno-Druid]

Looked at the WAWalk animation with orcs and trolls and I have to say it vastly improves the models. I hope it's implemented for the trolls as an option because I would really love to play a jungle troll that didn't look bent over all the time.

Finally, a true orc! Not some peon or crippled old fang!

[Nero Duskwind]

Looks much better on the female model. The male one is barely a change. The only reason I'd like it is so that 90% of helms stop looking awful on undead since their head sticks out so far. Hopefully this would fix it.

I noticed the same. The male upright posture looks like it needs a lot more work but the female looks solid. And the jutted out head making helms look terrible is exacly why I go helmet-less on my Forsaken DK.

Would be cool with an option. Along with a "Hide Bones" option so they can look like the chinese version.

Yes pls. The dried and exposed bone joints look dated and corny. At least provide the option to change it to muscle sinew.

[Deleted]

Ehhh the male one has the same amount of hunch but a lower amount of animation and I don't play female chars. No thanks

[Restors]

is this just a fanart or is blizzard actually gonna allow players to use unhunched undead? because the male undead looks alot better with the new one. the way it walks, still hunch but not overly, hopefully resolves the staff or any weapon on the back issues. I would be super interested to see this from bfa beta perspective.

[Gelantious]

Female looks good, but they didn't really remove the hunchback on the male, just gave them another animation s'all.

I just looked at the Zandalari male model, and I've seriously got to ask.

Has anyone else noticed that they added the hind toe nail back to the texture?

Reminder that Blizzard loves you all.

[Techno-Druid]

I hope Blizzard gives Darkspear trolls and forsaken the option to walk upright (or less hunched). I would honestly be just as excited to roll a semi-upright jungle troll as I would a Zandalari or upright orc.

[Steampunkette]

I want this more than most, to be honest.

The upright women look awesome and I would slap on the Chinese Model Filter in the command line and never look back because my god they look nice upright!

Who know whether this is actually serious or as someone mentioned is for use with humans - or it might never make it live.

If it IS, however, I think it's bad. What's the point of playing undead if you want to look 'normal'? Lets face it, the whole point of being undead is to be this rotting, hideous piece of crap that shambles around, not some resurrected olympic superstar.
