EDIT: They're here!

[Krysteena]

*screams*
KRYSTEENA CAN BE IN PRETTY PICTURES, JUST LIKE HER NOCTURNE!!!

[Falcon]

*waits nervously as most of her characters are Blood Elves*

[Kalhoun]

Oh gosh. I am very nervously excited. No matter what, I'm sure I can find new faces that fit my characters... but still... the worry is there! XD

[Lupen202]

While I have alts of other races my main is a BE.. She was a draenei originally, granted, but for years has been a BE. She's the one character I'm really attached to, so I'm nervous but super excited to see them.

[Lupis]

Ooooh, excited! I don't play blood elves- never could get attached to one- but I'd love to see them all shiny and new.

[SylviaDragon]

ahhhh! I cant wait. how dare you trick me into thinking they had pictures today! D: so excited. maybe i will feel motivated to level up my dear pally, Solaran, as long last. ;_;

[Arthur]

That's great. I can't wait to see!

[zedxrgal]

As others have stated. I'm excited yet nervous to see them.

Please Blizzard. Please don't F this up like you did the angry chi......... female worgen.

[Lupen202]

I would love if they gave them some more meat/muscles. Not like the NE female, because the BEs have always had smaller frames. But their arms are like sticks.

[Lisaara]

Totally agreed!

Also its tuuuuuesdaaaaaay. So preview today!

[Lupen202]

They're up!!! http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/169408 ... 11-25-2014





Honestly?

There isn't much to complain about. At least not with this face, but I'm worried about some. "Your character but in HD"... They definitely stayed true to their word here I think, as both sexes are very close to their originals. The fem BE body shape is definitely a big improvement even if the changes are subtle.

One thing I did notice though, even if it's very minor, is that her head should be tilted down a bit. But a lot of races seem to have this problem, like fem draenei. The old face looked a bit more stern as well. This is just nitpicking though.

But of course, they're very early models and we'll really notice the changes when we actually get to see them in motion.

[Kalhoun]

I hope the rest of the faces stay as true to the original as those. I'm very excited to see the new expressions/animations.

[Krysteena]

I'm so happy! The previews are amazing! My hunter won't feel any different, when she gets her new pixels :3 now only if they'd stuck true to the other models when they redone em...

[Lisaara]

Oh those are amazing! And they dont look like anorexic sticks!

[cowmuflage]

They sure do look like people with pointy ears aka elves

Guess my bank toon will look fancy when she's sleeping at the bank!

[Vephriel]

I love the male revamp, I think they look great! Really nice muscle definition without going overboard (I'm so glad they don't have the veiny arms like most races).

The females I'm mostly alright with from what we can see, the only detail I'm concerned with is the jaw/face shape. It looks very...off somehow. But I'm hoping that's just a preliminary resting face. Also I'm a little sad that they lost their push-up bra just because their cleavage looked great in low cut shirts before.

Still, the fancy underwear looks great on both genders, and both their bodies look really nice. Finally real hands and feet!

Overall I think I'm pleased, now I'm just impatient to see the other customizations and to see my actual characters in person.

[Doc Privas]

They look really promising! Overall I think that horde got the best improvements, which is something I actually like

[SylviaDragon]

Looking good. Ahhh cant wait to see my pally. ;_; Glad the females have a little bit more meat and muscle on them. males looking good.

[Chimera]

I'm so happy, these are amazing ;----; Out of all the races, these ones are the most similar to these originals by such a far margin (imo) while still giving a few much needed tweaks like filling out the Female's waistline that I'm crying and laughing at the same time.
