As someone who mains three female trolls... I am not entirely pleased. My biggest issues are the lack of contrast in the new hair colours, the bald spots that come with the mane hairstyle and that all the faces seem to be at least grumpy if not straight out angry. I chose the "cuteface" because it's the only one that doesn't seem permanently displeased. u_u Now it looks like it's got that "cranky" eyebrow squish. These are first-impressions though. Maybe when I see her in action my mind will change.

But the bald spots... Cannot unsee.

They will probably adjust the cute face later, just like they are doing with female dwarves. ;)

Yeah, I'm piling a lot of hope on top of the fact that this is an "unfinished product" as a whole and things will get refined in time!

This is the exact reason I race changed my one hunter from a troll! I was so tired of straight - depressed looking face. The new faces yes look better. But still not even remotely a smile. I'd be happy with even a 1/4 of a smile instead of just constant :x or :| type look. I love love love the new female trolls. But not going to throw down the $25 (unless it went up?) to race change Rexiah back too a depressed - rageful troll just because the new model is beautiful. The new orcs are gorgeous too and they have a happy face! Well. For the most part.

Edit: I know all the models are still being worked on so I'm hopeful.

Is it me or did all the females get breast reductions EXCEPT the human females???

I've noticed this and I'm SO PLEASED. I've always wanted less inflated, bouncy breasts on our characters- it makes the armor a lot less stretched and deformed!

Plus my grudge against jiggle physics is eternal, especially in a game where many of those jiggly boobs are covered in plate armor. :|

*cackles!* If you thought WoW was bad, the Sorceress is so much worse! Ahahahaha! Also look up the Amazon too from the same game.

Oh the game itself is fantastic. Just the solar system boobs and thunder muscle thighs and dumb muscle men are...not ideal to me. XD

Well, in a way you read that right! :lol:

I dunno, I don't need booby physics like Azshara's/Sylvanas'/*and I think Alexstraza and Ysera???* but having something a bit more than putting some oranges under your shirt, would be nice.. and not in a perverted way mind you! It just bothers me how they look when they wear more revealing chest pieces...just kinda...nothing.... in comparison to the other girls....What a weird topic :oops:

Fix fake orange boobies plox :lol:

Oof. I've been messing around in Beta, trying to recreate some of my characters, and...

Image

This is my DK's face in live. She's using the very distinctive "Skull" face option- which gives the impression of your character having no nose, eyes, and lips. Very distinct, very cool.

Image

And... beta. Yeah.

I can see why, as the skull face would require completely re-doing all the face animations and geometry, but I still can't help but hope that they're going to add it in anyway. I can take my characters looking a bit different than their live appearance, but this is so extreme that the character feels completely alien.

As a person maining a dwarfette, and having several altie-dwarfettes, I cannot express how happy I am that they finally managed to find their way to a brafitter and get their hands on good support bras :P I would avoid turning the camera even slightly from the back-view angle, because my own chest would hurt just by looking at them. Also, most of the chest pieces and tabards were badly disfigured. And I mean -badly- :/

@Dragon Crown - isn't the completely-over-the-top-parody/grotesque one of this game's greatest selling points? XD

After seeing the last beta videos and comparisions on MMO Champ I'm really really happy about the new models.
The only ones I don't really like are human female and nelf male, but probably just my personal taste, and I don't even play those two races. :)

Human female is actually one of my favorite updated race and I seriously want to level one for wod now.. But I also want a troll female. Tauren female. Uh.. Draenei female. Dwarf female wouldn't hurt.

:(

Might at least race change my lock to troll so I don't have to level as many races xD but I love so many of the new models. Human male needs work and NE female has her flaws that bug me a bit, but that's about it.

I've really loved my hunter in beta.

This worries me too. I've got a couple of skull faces in my list toons, I reeeeally hope they can get these in for us.
