Re: The Horde Wolves
As far as I can tell it's primarily the fault of the leg positioning, although the nose comes to a really awkward upward point but I can chalk that up to artistic liberties, really. I can do the same with the tail wrapping as much as it bothers me because, hey, it's a mount, it needs to look cool. The dip in the back really bothers me as well.
Fix the legs/back and I'll imagine it'll look just fine, but I won't be getting one either way. QQ I don't PvP. :(

Bird legs do...
Still, if this is ever made a pet, I WILL tame it. In an instant. Armor or not.

Why bind a canine tail? Something about their legs and posture strikes me as distinctly equine, but if you shifted the positioning they could look like lions as well. The art is excellent, I love the texture and the attention to detail(on the horses as well!) but the anatomy is off just enough to really bother me.

You guys are right about the anatomy being off. I just wanted to point out that a LOT of WoW has messed up anatomy (as far as their animals). XD Especially wolves. All wolves in this game have "messed up" front legs. Look at them all very closely, you will notice they all do the "reverse bird leg" bend.LupisDarkmoon wrote:I LOVE the model myself, but the legs are weird, you're right. They're broken, actually. Dog legs don't bend that way. Ever. (Front legs)

So it's not something new, it's just how Warcraft does Wolves.
They all have the bent leg.
Though back on topic, I really do wanna call these guys Dire Wolves. IDK but it just seems to fit.
AND OMG AT THOSE IMAGES OF UNARMORED ONES. WAAAAAAAAANT.

^Blizz plz take note the hunter community would luv this
-Hunters now earn Valor Points when they are effectively Vote Kicked from a Dungeon Finder group.
-Ettin’s Grip (new talent) allows the hunter to equip two ranged weapons simultaneously.
Dream skins to tame:
Fandral Staghelm Fire Cat Form. Kor'kron War/Veteran/Warbringer of the Horde PVP wolf mount. Xuen/Litter of Xuen! Legion Wolf Boss.
Re: The Horde Wolves
Yes plzz they are awesome! As I don't PvP at all, I never have the chance of using the mount, but I want the pet!Bodhran wrote:Acherontia wrote:Q&D idea of what a non-armored one might look like, at least the basics:

Re: The Horde Wolves
I dont do much in the way of pvp, so I am not really familiar with what the different pvp things are called.
so, random BG, rated BG's, arena, world pvp...dont really know how points are given where for what.

Yeah, like all the classic races are in bad need of a face lift/update.
Seriously, if my NE stands next to a Worgen, the level of detail difference is astounding

Re: The Horde Wolves
I agree that they could go back and rework some odd models to give em greater detail like the new models. however i do not want the model itself to change.Ara wrote:I LOVE those worgen models.

I would love my old style wolfs to be smoother looking, but if they too started to get broken backs id be very sad.
But fully suport the idea of updating textures of old creatures to match the new ones. vanilla characters just cant compete next to the new ones.
