New Character Models Discussion - Update! Fem Gnome Faces

[Lisaara]

I wouldn't worry too much. Blizzard isn't Microsoft. They aren't known for shooting themselves in the foot.

*cough* crossrealms! Christmas sales that end before Christmas!*cough*

joking aside, I think Mozag and Shalyth illustrate my own points and concerns perfectly. People spend hours getting their character to look and feel just right. Its important to them. I am nervous about this since we just don't "know" yet what will happen and if Blizz decides to get greedy things can get messy fast. But I am definitely on the "wait and see" bandwagon. Even if they want to charge for character customization when we get the new models I doubt they would refuse to change their minds after listening to player feedback. They have already stressed that they are trying to keep the new models appearance close to the old models because they know how attached people get to their toon's and want to make the change a smooth one.

Crossrealms isn't shooting themselves in the foot. I point you to connected realms that are SAVING dying realms.

I was gunna say. D: I don't play WoW right now so I have no real say but, I guess from an outside perspective, crossrealms seems like a really good idea. WoW's at an all time low now in terms of subscribers so dead realms are now deader than ever. As someone who played on a dying realm, I appreciate this. Or at least I would if I was playing at the moment. The only thing that made me shudder when the merging started was seeing all the people in Storm Peaks...

I do wonder though if WoW will ever introduce more customisation options. Almost all MMOs have detailed options now that WoW still lacks.

[Snowy]

OH MY GOD YES YES YES YES YESHDJSFNDJKSNlkfndsjfkmslkfs
THEY LOOK AMAZING <3

[Mozag]

Quite disappointed about how beautiful she looks as opposed to rotting and...you know, dead. Even her boobs are perky... But it's still a much nicer model, for sure. Not sure I'm wild about it, so I guess I can rule new undead ladies off my list.

[cowmuflage]

I'm sure they will have other face options n stuff. That is only one face after all. I know my rouge has that bone jaw one I think >.>

The current-model equivalent is:


Which already is one of the prettier (if not the prettiest) undead faces among the bunch. They will have uglier, and (for you) more fitting faces, like the infamous skull face. I can almost 100% assure you!

[Mozag]

Mm, that's true. Well here's hoping they manage some seriously creepy ones as well. I love the skull faces and the ones that are a combination of pretty face with some hideous jaw. Sad that they can't have the ripped off lower half of the face like males can.

And oh, forgot to mention, the bottom left hair looks phenomenal!

[Vephriel]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing the other facial features like the rot and the faceplates and protruding skull.

[Rower]

They look great, but I never was really fond of forsaken. Too much bones showing for my taste
But still a really nice update!

[GormanGhaste]

I was hoping they'd make the jagged flesh next to the elbows and knees look a little more meaty.

[Qraljar]

Agreed. I love the option between a more preserved and uglier Forsaken lady. Oh, and Blizzard did say they plan to continue adding costumization to the models after the updates. Maybe a 'no-jaw' option in the near future for the females as well?


Also, a more fitting comparison:

[Magnakilro]

Fun fact: Look close to her hips and spine...these crazy ladies NAILED THEIR CLOTHES TO THEIR FLESH!

These chicks be metal.

[Myrrmi]

Must... unsee... but can't! T.T

Anyway, I'm more and more optymistic about the new models. Awesome work! Can't wait till beta, so we can see all of the face variants for all of the races.

Yeah, I noticed right away that the bra seems to be... stuck to her and doesn't go around her spine. Creepy!

Personally I love the 'pretty' face, I always have. It's just what I prefer, each to their own and all. Looking at the hair comparison above though... wow. That's some major change and it looks really, really good! I've just realised though, on the original preview, the hair style on the bottom right... that *might* be the hair I'm used to. Which is this one: http://zam.zamimg.com/images/c/b/cb6817 ... 7eb274.png

I always saw that hairstyle as more 'styled' than 'tied up' so honestly I might be a tad disappointed if that's what it's changed to. :/ Since the new version looks like more of a worn-up hairstyle. I can only see it from this angle though so I'll reserve my judgement until I've seen everything properly.

Even so though, wow wow WOW. I'm so amazed. <3

[SylviaDragon]

I like the little details they added to her bones. I like how you can see her ribs and I really like the new spine. The side by side comparison makes me kind of excited. Maybe I will gain some love for my Warlock, Rem, and get her to 100.

*waits with baited breath for the elves*

[Lisaara]

EEEE! She looks rotting and gorgeous!!!!

[pawprintedheart]

Oh...YES!!! I can't wait to see the creepy faces. Tempe, my undead hunter, is going to look AMAZING!!!! I'm just...wow. Wow, wow, wow.
