can't see the pics cause im at work but I always liked the tauren so hopefully they are still the lovable race I giggled at in vanilla "what do you mean i can be a giant cow?"
Y'know, that's actually what got me to sign up for vanilla beta in the first place. It went something like this:
Friend: Are you going to try to get into WoW beta?
Me: eh...
Friend: You know you can play a giant man-cow?
Me: Where do I sign up????
Overall, I like the newer model. The torso is slightly more defined, rather like what we currently see on the Yaungol. I'd kind of hoped for a reduction in Popeye-arms, but didn't really think that'd happen. I've got mixed feelings about the face. Something about the eyes seems a little off to me. Perhaps if they were further apart. Also, if you cover up their muzzle in some of the still pictures, the eyes look rather like they're on a human face. I'm glad to say goodbye to the haystack mane, though the new smoother mane makes the hump more pronounced. I've always kinda wanted Tauren to have a smaller hump, especially the females. As a personal thing, I'd like the nose ring to be a bit thinner.
Oh, and just a personal thing: I always liked the fact that no matter the color of their coat, all Tauren had a black spot at the base of their tails. Looks like that's gone in the new model. I'll actually miss that.
For the most part, I like the new model. I can't wait to see how it looks with other coat patterns and I'm champing at the bit to see the new female Tauren.
