Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[EbaumsTipster]

Yeah, how dare the Alliance gets a brutish ugly race for the first time in twenty years?

[Lahis]

Too much customization on one side. Westfall textures have pointed to Westfall getting some kind of focus, so that means the beggar/thin human model will most likely come to Westfall.

There have been Westfall textures in BfA?

[DercMerc]

There have been Westfall textures in BfA?

Debatably. There are updated harvesters.

There is an updated ground texture in a "Westfall" folder, in the same directory that has Tirisgarde Sound, Nazmir, etc.

Worgen have existed on the Alliance since 2010.

Brutish, but anthro werewolves are not "ugly". Even if you consider that so that's still the mass minority.

We JUST got two "pretty" races, we need another ugly one.

The updated model is pretty much Kul'Tiran themed:



I don't see this one tending the fields in Westfall.

Wonder what they do with it. Westfall Battlefront? I don't see them updating the zone just because.

Someone else replied that there's apparently updated Westfall map textures, which is probably better evidence than the harvesters, if it's true. I haven't seen proof, personally, but I've seen people mention it here and there.

Worgen are not an "ugly" race (atleast not intentionally, RIP female Worgen).

They're ment to look cool and menacing, not ugly and brutish.

I promise I'm not making it up.

The fact that it shipped with new harvesters is incredibly suspicious. I feel as though the new harvesters will be remade without the anchor/steering wheel.

Interesting!

And honestly, if they give Kul Tiran humans some decent faces, they won't be ugly, just big.

Then again, current human faces are ugly as sin, so we can probably safely expect Kul Tiran faces to be ugly, too. Their beards look better, so I guess they've got that going for them.

Good, Light worshipping priests here, honest!

Reminds me of a plague doctor with tentacles instead of a bird beak

Based on the names Siege weaporny will be involved. Might be a Warfront then.

Could be interesting. Based on the datamine that suggested a Barrens warfront, I guess there's one right on Orgrimmar's doorstep, so it'd make sense if there was one on Stormwind's, too.

Oh hi Mr.Jones, out to hunt that ol' Captain Sparrow guy?

[sylvira]

I'd like to add to the Zandalari Male height comparison pics with one having Belffem for anyone interested about that but my mousewheel doesn't work like 90% of time currently so just giving in the quick pic I constructed after Q&A for my Zanda-waiting bfriend.

Bad crop comparison pic and then the original pic1 & pic2 of the build where the small size was still there if people want to use for comparing with NPCs in Alpha or making better pics on same angle.
(The buff the smaller pic got ain't Bloodlust but just a visually BL-lookalike icon thing from a purchasable potion in the city and doesn't change size at all when consumed despite its looks.)

But aye can see the height having gone from befem nearly reaching shoulder to just elbow.

Well there are some Harvest Golems that would make a good HD model upgrade to the old model.

I do also hope we get to see a Thin Human Female model as well...

[Silver Forte]

No, they're pretty ugly. Most male player models in WoW are pretty ugly, though. The monstrous races tend to be a little more "attractive" in that they aren't trying for human-like and missing the mark.

Jury's still out on how Kul Tiran humans end up being 'til we see more than one face, but I'm not holding my breath.

You don't get to decide what ugly means to everyone else. I don't find them ugly, they're just another flavor of human. Try not to be so fucking negative. All the races we already have, more coming and people still aren't satisfied. When will you be?

I mean, first off, for the record, I'm talking about the original, Stormwind human models. I guess you could argue that art is subjective, but I generally haven't run into too many people who think the human male model is terribly attractive.

That said, you seem to think that my complaints have something to do with the number of races we're getting, or something? Quite the contrary. I'm pretty hyped for every single allied race that's been confirmed, barring dark iron dwarves, really. If I'm complaining, I'm complaining about the subpar redo most races got in WoD. For a lot of races, the dudes are just fuck ugly, and the ladies have variations of one face, with the only difference being makeup and eyeshadow. Allied races are great 'n' all, but if I'm making a complaint, here, it's that the older races are being left in the dust and are in a dire need of an update, especially compared to other MMOs (and hell, even compared to the allied races).
