WoW Petopia Community

Recently, I came upon a video for Cataclysm's character pages and thought to share it with the rest of the community. The new animations for each individual class are certainly a nice addition imo. What are your opinions?

That video won't open for me... Anyhow, sounds nice!

Oh no Saturo! I double checked the link and all seems to be working fine from my end :0(

Works just fine now, for some reason.
Quite an awesome change, IMO. Anyone else notice that death knights do the unarmed animation? It's technically correct, as they don't startwith a weapon, but it doesn't really fit the death knight class.

That's pretty neat. Seeing some of the new character class choices just makes me so excited too

Female worgen looks laaame though. I didn't even know what it was until I saw the mouse click the 'male' icon

The female worgen isn't done. I think they should have left "her" out until she is. That was really creepy, actually. It looked like a dead dog with mange.
The male worgen don't look quite done to me. They lack a certain "polish" But, their animations are good.
The girl goblins are much cuter than I imagined. The boy goblins are boy goblins.
I think having class char. screen animations is a neat idea. Hoping they aren't generic and reflect weapon changes like it currently does.

Oh is that what it is? Huh. I agree, they should've left her out until then, that was...very creepy. >>;

Yup, that wasn't the female worgen model. Just an untextured male placeholder.

They've datamined the model for the females, though they have no textures:

One person applied the male worgen texture to one so you can kinda get a rough idea of what they'll be like.

Veph, looked at what you linked. I know it isn't "done" but it's "prettier" than I'd imagined. Hm. Not so sure I wanted a thoroughbred show dog. I thought I was getting a wolf. Wonder how they'd look if they'd joined the Horde.

I'm personally not a fan of the Worgen at all. I'll make one just to run through the starting area, but no way I'd ever keep one. :/

I just might have to roll a male toon for once, if the females are too gussied up. But, definately, I will check out the starting area, too.

Aah, thanks for the link Veph, I feel much less terrified of the worgen females now XD I had HEARD they were supposed to look more or less fox-like but that preview was freakin' me out. I agree with Teigan though; even when the Alliance is given 'scarier' or more 'monsterish' races they still look oddly pretty.

Also, is it totally geeky of me that I'm studying each of the character animations over and over after some of my recent 3D animation lessons? >>;

Nice vid. Thanks for the link.

It's unfinished but...oh man...I so wanna explore Skywall X3 At first glance, it's very Dalaran-ish in design, but in saying that, it's built from pure air, very unlike Dalaran's floating island-type structure. Even from this, I'm excited truly. An instance created from clouds and air itself *glee*

Though I weep for what they've done to Azshara, I'm actually quite amused by the various little details of the Goblin Cities. The little posters this zooms in on made me giggle insanely XD

Orgrimmar flyover. Dear god, it looks awesome!

The Lost Isles flyover - I'm really looking forward to exploring this place. With the sound up.

Gilneas aerial flyover. The ambience is just, wow...and I love how the moat surrounding the Cathedral also pools inside it. And the mist almost covers the entire city, which is a wonderful touch. The other thing that got me is the WANTED poster, when you see it you'll understand why I love it =D Look for the interesting little accessory for the Fishing Trainer ;D *noms on the lovely details*

Halls Of Origination - The archaeologist in me is going "Wouldn't it be superawesome if, to progress further, you had to bounce the light off those mirrors in the right way and somehow not fall to your doom on the floors...?"

Femme worgens, I saw the datamined info and am just going to sit here not-so-patiently until they arrive.
*secretly noms on all the pretty details Cataclysm has to offer*

I like that crossbow.....

And where is the wanted poster? I watched the Gilnaes vid like 3 times and couldn't find it. I have an idea what it might be but I wanted to show Hun haha

It's an incredibly brief shot, and the jist of it is in runic lettering, but it's got these clawmarks down it that made me giggle insanely.
Someone didn't appreciate being reported XD

Love how it shows the animations for a class, I always wonder about them when making new toons. lol

Am I the only one that loves the female worgen? I adore them as they are... I'll roll female because I like how they are still graceful and somewhat dignified in that monster shell. It makes them stand out to me I love it.
