Garrosh = New Orc player model.

[Yarathir]

Ya I was really hoping for an orc model using thralls skeleton.

I think many of us wanted an orc without a hunch, but Blizzard mentioned various times before that they wanted to preserve the feeling and look of the old models in the new ones. It sucks that the Thrall-like models will be out-of-reach, but that's just the way it is, I guess.


I am sad too, but I didn't make any huge expectations.


(Wish Blizzard would allow you to choose between straight and hunched)

These are male Goblin animations.

All of the animations shown by your JIFs are purely male Goblin.

The talk/question animation looked a lot like the Pandaren one. But they all looked pretty fudging awesome.

They look more expressive. But I think after so long, we've just assumed expressive means Pandaren.

Oh wow, the sprint and run animations are badass. Don't look half as clunky and the sprint one does really look like he's charging into battle not just running like a retarded monkey.

[Black Rider]

It's interesting...
Good finds btw!

[Aucald]

Anyone notice that Garrosh's new model looks a lot more... ah, dumb? I don't mean the model is dumb, but his facial expression appears to look exceedingly dumb.

um no they are not, the gobby male /no is an over the top no with stomping feet.

[Gimlix]

I don't think its the new model but the animations are totally going to be the replacement, they won't make these awesome animations for nobody to use.
Can't wait at all for new animations and models!

[moveth]

This is why waiting patiently for the player models is a good idea. I knew that eventually we would have fantastic models. And Vol'Jin / Garrosh are great examples of that. Cant wait :]

Actually his face looks 200% less "drooling retard" than the old face he had.

[laughtrey]

I slowed down run and sprint by half so its easier to see. I wanted to keep the filesize down so the originals are a little short for me.

Yeah, I think it's probably a preview of the new skeleton (or animations)

[Dald]

Ok, slightly modified name Goblin animations. Still, they look good on the bigger model.

I think it looks a lot better, but they need to tweak it a bit. This picture screams "Ogre/Ettin/Troll" face to me.

It's certainly pretty incredible in terms of detail.

But please, Blizzard, for Christ sake, get rid of that bloody hunch. >.<

[Philosopino]

Awesome !


Now I kinda feel sorry for Worgens >.>

[Yarathir]

There are many people who would love that, but Blizzard will probably not do that because they don't want to "change the feel of the old model". So yeah, draenei will have small useless tails instead of long, prehensile tails, orcs will forever be hunched. The end.


WTB Petition to give orcs the choice between hunch and without hunch. That would be so damn sweet.

only complaint is the hunch? if this is seriously going to be the new orc model my complaint would be that they gave it such a tiny head in comparison to the steroid abuse poster shoulders or the fact that the forehead is a compilation of "world's largest collection of forehead creases" pictures.

Well, new Zandalari troll model used Nelf male skeleton and some of it's animations (but still got many new animations) so yeah, it could be that they used goblin/panda/whatever as a base. It's "just" an npc model after all.

Looks 9000x better than old one anyway, never understood why previous model had that shitty texture without any real contrast.

[tempis]

Ok, slightly modified name Goblin animations. Still, they look good on the bigger model.

Again No, they look nothing like current Goblin emotions at all.
