How much effort have they put tho? maybe they can get it up to 65% in a week, so who knows, maybe it's the hardest 25%
A man can dream :/
new models would be nice, but i'd much rather they focused on content and treated updated models as a side project. It boggles my mind why some folk are so angry about this, does it really effect your experience? I'm just curious.
Baa weep grahna weep ninny bong.
I could be oh so wrong, but since when would Blizzard give out such exact numbers? "20%" -"oh, let's say 25"...bla bla. I call this nonsense.
And especially this sentence "We figure players would rather have some earlier than wait forever until they're all done. Not forever but, a longer time. Might feel forever. Blizzard soon.".
As if they wouldn't know how players of races, that have to wait, feeling like "forever", wouldn't stop spamming the forums with "not fair, ect.".
I say they have them ready for next expansion and are just teasing the players, the whole tone of this part of the interview screams like they are just building up
tension, in order to say, when revealing the next expansion - " big surprise, new player models, we just wanted to have at least one big surprise, as most things, like
name of expansion (and probably more 'till BlizzCon) have been 'investigated', leaked,...beforehand anyway"

And yes, I have read the full Interview, I of course might be wrong. But if they have 75% still to do, let's say 25% take 2 years, than we could expect the new models in 6 years minimum. And they probanly know theirselfes that this might be a bit too long.
Plus, as stated before, the tone of the of the cited parts just screams "ha ha, we are just teasing you."
The majority of people though, would want more HC's, raids and such. Though tell me, what would you like to do? Honestly, the game is almost 10 years old, and I can't really see what new features they could include at this point, well besides some of the dreadful "dynamic" events from GW2, but that's about it really.

Most of these models only have new skins and looks,the animation are very,very similar.The Jinyu on the other hand,while they use the Night Elf models,have new animations included,while the old ones are polished.If I'm not wrong,thats something everybody noticed when MoP launched.
Awww, and I was hoping to have my ugly first-made character looking pretty soon!
I'm honestly sick of this communities bitching at every turn anymore. It's really disgusting how much the community has evolved into this QQ whine/bitch fest. Seriously. No one has patience anymore, everyone wants everything now. I doubt we'll need to wait more than 1 - 2 years tops for these. And don't give me that bullshit it'll take 6 more years because 25% at 2.
#1 they could easily be lying
#2 they have been super focused on next xpac
#3 they plan on working on them more once the next xpac is out.
Im cool with this, im hoping they are putting less resources into models and more into the online shop, so hopefully by the next expansion the shop will be big enough full of goodies for me to go bankrupt in!
That's what I'm thinking. I doubt they're close to finishing but suspect that they're further along the process than they're letting on and these statements are being made to manage expectations. Better for them to deal with a longer time table and look ahead of schedule when they implement something than go on the record with a shorter time table, suffer a setback, and then deal with all the "AMG BLIZZARD PROMISED US AND THEY LIED!!" backlash.

That's pretty much it.
Of course there are sensible people who.. well, do not outright defend it, but at least have a different outlook.
But the majority seem to be rampant Blizzard apologists who will excuse it by saying "it's a super-huge job, <strawman> stop telling people its super-eez when you've never made a 3d model!!!" or "lol who cares bout player models; raids is where it's at".
New player models are a pipe dream. It won't happen so stop worrying about it.
But what does 25% complete even mean, are they all 25% done or are some done and some not even yet started on or ... well saying the rework is 25% complete isn't really informative at all.
