Trolls Not Getting Upright Option

[SirBeef]

Darkspear Trolls will not get an option to stand upright. Neither will Worgen, Forsaken, Tauren, etc. Only the Zandalari and Orcs will be upright.

Hazzikostas just confirmed this in the Live Q and A.

Tauren are upright.

[Dalheim]

Aren't Tauren upright currently?

Not like they were before with their old models which I hate. :/
They used to have straigher backs and shoulders compared to now.

You spelled Gnome wrong.

My spelling is as impeccable as your insistence on dissing me.

It is fan made, aren't there any Tauren with that body in any Blizzard art?

That is more of a minotaur than a tauren

Warcraft 3 taurens had necks. WoW taurens do not.

I assume that's what OP means by upright stance for them.

Yeah, that's my biggest gripe with tauren model. It's like they are hunched at the neck level.

I always wanted the forest troll model/jungle troll (Stranglethorn) but never got it. I had my hopes up when they remade the models but it seems dark spear trolls are meant to be as they are. Luckily we'll now get the Zandalar trolls - looking forward to see what customization options they have.

Huge difference.

Orcs have always been depicted in artwork as being upright. In WC3 they were upright. Thrall and Garrosh are always depicted of walking upright in cinematics.

Darkspear trolls have always had the hunch. There is no basis for them to have an upright model.

But doesn’t Greymane stand upright?

Greymane doesn’t use a weapon.

and who the fuck cares? who outside and stop playing freak

But different ones obviously. And OP meant the Darkspear aswell.

Now that's a pity considering that with new casting stances they already stand upright. I was hoping for them to at least lessen the hunch as they're even more hunched with their new models than they were in older ones.
Or to change their stance so it's more like this :



So they can be still slightly hunched but at least tabard would be visible.

I would like something like this. You're still a jungle troll but don't look like you've got a bad case of spine curvature.

I'm fine with it don't see the problem.

an upright orc, that might be kinda cool.... i hope its an option
upright troll, that will be cool to see, i wish zandalari didnt begin at level 20 though, would prefer level 1 cause im a nerd like that

Its confirmed that upright right orcs will be an option in BFA. And in typical MMO community fashion, people here are whining that other races don't get it too.

Forums: Upright orcs plz! Thrall is upright!

Blizzard: okay. That'll be an option in the new expansion!

Forums: omg only orcs get to be upright blizz hates trolls tauren undead everything else blame Metzen green jesus

Seriously, there is no pleasing some of you people.

They have been depicted upright in artwork.

It's also never specified if troll hunch is for style or just their natural anatomy.

Rearing back to throw a spear isn't a good way to judge their 'default' posture.

The Zandalari models look 1,000% better anyway. I don't see the issue here.

O'rly?

They didn't have in BfA cinematic nor in concept art for Warcraft movie:



In other words selectiveness at best.

Ofc I'm happy for orcs that they will get an option, but so should get trolls. I agree that they should have unique stance so it shows their nature and makes them different to Zandalari, but with new models they hunch even more than in old models. So devs should at the very least decrease the hunch so at least tabard is visible.

[Hastis]

im sure they didnt that to make zandalari trolls more "original" i guess

[Al Gorefiend]

It's like people can't get over the fact completely different species of humanoids would have non-human spines.

All this uproar over hunch/unhunched. People really cared this much?
