Pandaren Special! Character Creation and Emotes!
A lot of people are interested in the pandarens, here's a special news just for the panda lovers out there.
Character creation is definitely a work in progress, and so far only the females have the red panda + tail variation. We'll track any update in future patches.
Emotes are also in progress, the female is still missing a lot of them but it's perfectly normal in early stages of the beta. No dance yet.
You should definitely check the emotes video at least, the art work on Pandaren animations is pretty impressive and look like they will be a refreshing change.
I wish there was sound for the /silly. One of the first things I like to do once I can play a new race is see their /dance and /silly.I do find it odd that Pandarens are getting tails, when Worgen did not. Just seems a little... Backwards, if you ask me.
No to sound over-dramatic but these character models and animations are outstanding. The facial animation is in a completely different league to what we're used to from WoW.The only problem is the original models are an embarrassment next to this. To have this next to a human or orc in the same game is so jarring.
All male animations (except /read and to a degree/roar) look retarded. The quality is very good, but they are way too childish.On the other hand female animations all look very apealing (despite the body build which isnt to my taste, but oh well, atleast face looks nice). Will definetly roll a female monk.
Facial expressions blew my mind..now about old race models..not only we need an update for them, but we need a COMPLETE OVERHAUL. not only the model, but animations and face expressions. -or we need to have pandaren druids, I can not stay Night Elf so long after seeing this-
Oh my god the male /sleep and /cry are absolutely amazing. I'm very impressed with these models. They're so fluid - and the facial expressions are very impressive.
