Ok? The info here is good and all, but the game needs content. But then again, they make this game for the MAU's. LUL
Always appreciate behind the scenes articles. Even if some are a little bare bones.
jeeeez... what a waste of time. should focus on fixing the game and not this tripe.
Can we get the visual bugs as a character customization?
I like the dev diaries. We used to get them during the leadup to WoD and they were interesting to read.
Ideally we would get news about actual content and dev diaries.
Also this. I find the ubiquitous UI design of modern AAA games to be incredibly bland and this one is no exception. The old one hard more charm.
Only takes a dev an hour or two to write up the post, grab screenshots, and record video. There isn't really an opportunity loss when it comes to dev diaries.
To be fair, this job was done by a UI artist. Blizzard isn't coming out with new games so it's not like there would be much else for that person to do at the company besides redesign the character creation UI simply because he can.
In this case I actually agree with the blue post. WoW was a mainstream game so trying to make your game understandable to normies is of critical importance, especially if Blizzard is trying to recapture that demographic again. Also, even gamers who know what paladins and warlocks are probably don't know what a Demon Hunter or a Death Knight is, so listing generic RPG classes first before getting to the super unique stuff is a good idea, as people see stuff they instantly recognize right away, and then see unique WoW classes that might pique their interest.
NuBlizzard's ideology aside, I'm not sure if the WoW engine is capable of morphing body attributes like that. The engine is based off of the WC3 engine which is coming up on being two decades old.
Wait, wait.
Last video, the barbershop one. 0:03, when they change the character hair her boob outline vanishes.
Please tell me this is an accident or glitch, because my body can't withstand such laughter anymore. Blizzard's pathetic attempt at being a company is ripping me apart from rolling on the floor laughing.
I love how this post is full of people telling blizzard that they should focus on other problems that appeared about 3-4 months ago not even knowing this character creation UI was out for more than one year now (even before SL). I mean Blizzard is fucking up big time but the community is just clueless.
I like behind the scenes stuff.
This just feels super random and relevant like a year ago...
Cool I guess?

"They sort of did this Dragonriding, which ushered in the Dracthyr race." by Teriz <- the BS some people reach for their narratives...
For the people that have played wow for yeaaaars(like most of us here) probably dont understand why Blizzard does it. I bet most of us already have characters of each class/race anyway and dont spend any time in character creation screen.
In any case, this might prove that Blizzard is thinking about the future and new players coming in. How the game is presented from the beginning is important. They already have a new starter zone and now updated char creation screen.

Whats so wrong with Blizzard sharing what they are doing and working on? Just because its not 30 raid bosses, 45 dungeons, 100 new zones, 981212 unique mount models you dont need to get upset.
Its just information about whats going on, nothing more nothing less. Its not that hard to say "Ok cool" and move on.
Honestly, who cares about these kind blog posts? They're so pointless and just feel like writing something for the sake of writing something.

I would not. I've thought this looked pretty terrible since the first moment I saw it and does not suit the game at all. It also spotlights just how inflexible the appearance customization is.I think you’ll agree that the animation, FX, and sound teams did an amazing job making these classes feel heroic
I feel like it's saying "Wanna play a human priest? Well he's gonna look like fucking Conan anyway. Here's an example of just how ridiculous he's going to look floating around in these universal priest animations. I bet you probably wanna pick a different race now, huh?"

Well, something cool, of course, but classes' description... gentlemen, do RPG description normally, even if at least copy them from Classic or something. What a nonsense, roles' mention comes first, I understand that your class architecture has seen much better times, let there be description, OK, but somewhere at the end (with a note "sorry, but we haven’t come up with anything more interesting and original") ...also description of abilities in similar form is generally superfluous, naturally, possibilities need to be described, but more generally, literary and "torned away from game interface" (no icons, contrived names and other details) as if even character creation already starts with spreadsheet.
So, in general, interface somehow is planned more or less decent, maybe only a few unnecessary liberties, and as usual, customization itself leaves much to be desired (not to mention models themself, vomited once again, sorry).

thought exactly the same.
after all the years of some few blue posts here and there, some Ion+Josh vids every few months, and especially the silence in SL, they now have to push as many mmoc frontpage content, as possible, their PR decided. to make it all look rather active and „full of stuff“.
dont get me wrong: its nice, when it feels again like we are in the good ol times, when i.e. wotlk was active and way more stuff showed up (remember all the GC posts). there is nothing wrong with that. but that sour taste on my tongue results from, that we all know why.
and as quoted poster said, these are things that normally makes sense before or after a release. thats why we all know, why they come up with it now.
ofc this is something that was done for a Blizzcon/Blizzconline. since its canceled they can post it anyway. and its a cheap and easy way to just post what you anywise have unused in store. so, there is per se nothing wrong with that.
i understand that you have to do this as a company, because you ARE already wrecked, because you have nothing else. its already too late and something have to be done as damage control. since there is nothing else, they ofc better do this than nothing. and why waste it, when you can cheaply using existing blizzconline stuff? but in the end, it just underlines: too little too late.
