Censored Sylvanas?

THIS THREAD

Ok maybe I've just been out of the game for too long or haven't seen BfA pics of her but anyone know what this person is talking about on changes to how she looks?

[Nahela]

Probably referring to the leather piece that covers her abdomen now. Mostly because people always need something to be angry about, I guess.

He/she/it is talking about this change: http://i.imgur.com/u1Sy4pt.jpg

RHS is her current model, it happened pre-Legion because Metzen's daughter asked why she was wearing a bikini, apparently.

Personally, while I'm not too crazy about her new outfit I like that she is covered up now. Maybe people will shut up with the "huehue undead waifu xd" .

It's a good change.

[Dastreus]

Eh literally my only issue with it is yeah, that leather thing does look like a corset just slapped under her armor. It doesn't fit. On a narrative level, I spose you can argue it's old Sylvanas dying, and the new, current one, is born.

[gaymer77]

Damn I don't like the change. I liked her when she was in vanilla but the "new" look I got used to because it made more sense than having a night elf model for an undead leader. This "newer" model just looks freakin stupid. I'm not a fan of slutmogs on what seems like 99% of female characters but on her it looked good. Wasn't too revealing.

Its an okay change but couldnt they add some thing that match her current outfit? that brown leather thingy rly doesnt match rest of her outfit

Seems elven generals and crocodiles got the same weakness - aim for the belly, no armor there

i like her new model.
but the leathers color is just so out of place.

i wish they made it more reddish or purple.

[Merryck]

Yes. It makes no sense for a queen to wear a bikini into battle.

[Kraddark]

I do think she needed armor that looked like actual armor. The stuff they added clashes pretty badly. It looks like a rushed job.

[Mic_128]

It really should be changed to the same shade of lightish-red/purple as the rest of her armour. Otherwise, it seems fine to me, espeially since her old look was literally the same as Alexstrasza's, but with her ass covered.

[Techno-Druid]

I like her armor change, although the leather parts feel out of place.

Really I can only dispend my disbelief when it comes to armor so much. Running out on a battlefield with large portions of your body exposed is generally not a good idea...unless you carry around a giant shield or something.

[Mirishka]

The stuff nerds whine about, I swear. OMG U CANT SEE HER ABS ANYMOAR U R CENSORIN HER REEEEeeeeeeeeee

[HuxNeva]

It is just to placate the American prudeness brigades.

Point in case.

Three things

1) I wouldn't mind it if replacement armor jived with the rest of her armor, it doesn't and it's fuggly

2) She's one of the few characters (dragons are also in this) where skimpy armor makes sense if they're going to do it. If I remember correctly, (I admit that I might be wrong on this, it's been a while) they mentioned how Sylvanas has skin that's harder than any leather or mail. So slapping on a shallow piece of leather over (effectively) plate doesn't make shit for sense.

3) What vitals is she protecting here? If anything, give her a god damned helmet, we've seen that blow to the brain can and will kill her, how is a gut shot to long dead organs going to do anything to her?

So she has plate armor skin everywhere except her head?

What fantasy world do you know of that mixes blade and bullet where bullet doesn't pierce plate mail?

Edit: Forgot to mention she was shot point-blank in the back of the head.

[Martymark]

I'm fine with her wearing full plate armor, but brown cardboard is not a good look.

[Utigarde]

I love her new armor, but wish it looked more like the Legion loading screen. Full plate, or at least consistent colors.
