braindead devs? Do you even realize how braindead your comment is?
Seriously, there is a lot that can be improved in WoW and Blizzard as a whole, but at least 50% of the complaints and outrage and flaming here on mmo-c come from braindeads like you.
This is a frigging INCUBUS, they are supposed to be a sexy. Same as the Succubus (which is still half naked in WOW as she should be). That's why the "braindead" devs don't cover up their half-naked bodies. Because covering them up would be like turning all dragons into puppies, because dragons are too scary. Dragons are supposed to look somewhat menacing. Same as how incubus and succubus need to look sexy.
All the other changes where they cover up cleavage and paintings are because there is no reason for those paintings or those characters to be sexy. It adds nothing and removing the sexy there does not break immersion. But a succubus or incubus dressed in a burka would break immersion and defeat the purpose of them ENTIRELY.
Braindead comments like yours are what makes the wow community so unbearable. Don't think, just complain.
Go read a book or do something else useful.

All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.
very topical time to introduce the incubus, something people have been asking for since...
uh

I am not saying they have to be 1:1. I think it’s very nicely done but it is NOT a cheetah (same as purple bulky hyena with huge head isn’t a hyena). The ancient low-poly model is closer to a cheetah than this new model. Some stylized models are awesome, some aren’t, but I am glad you like it. I would personally go for a slightly different, more realistic design when you consider it’s actually not a fantasy creature. The model needed to be updated though.

Incubus VO ideas:
"Unmake yourself."
"Pardon me while ...you... burst into flames"
So your granny goes around nude? All the succubus is wearing is her undies and a plate over her ribs, it’s actually less they they used to have with the armour showing off more.

I think it’s more of a texture issue then the model it self.

Yes, their "team values" don't make sense. A painting which refers a famous art style "reclining woman" which every big painter has in their portfolio is removed because it offends someone's sensibilities, meanwhile we have succubus, now incubus and other skimpy demons that are not just nude, but imply various bdsm nuances and that's cool.
I fixed some shader issues in MMOC/WoWDB modelviewer that were present in some of these previews. Those updates should hit the front page's modelviewer within like 10-15 minutes, and I think chaud is going to update some of the static pictures with newer images because he's a hero.
Specifically, some of the fire/light FX appeared to be solid when they should be flowing translucent streams.
