So, the druid looks amazing in form.
But how come you decided to make him look like he sat on the couch for a year eating and never worked out?
He looks attrocious, and NOT like someone who would be the aspect of nature and balance.
Honestly, this is my suggestion… there is no need to have just one type of body per hero. You should make all bodies available for all classes. The skinny necro body is just as viable on a druid or rogue, as a warrior body is on a rogue or druid or necro or even a sorcerer.
I wouldn’t mind a slimmer option, as druids we deal with in the game have varying models.
I think they dont have different model sizes to make it easier to distinguish what class you’re playing in game.
They have skinnier npc druids I think the real reason is having set models makes it easier to push out new armor mogs which they are trying to sell you in the cash shop as well as making it easier for seasons to have seasonal mogs
I mean, I’ve seen some strong boys at the gym that look just like the druid who probably lift more in 1 set than you’ve ever done in the gym across your whole life.
And if they did this then they’d have to redo every single armor across every single class, which would take ages.
So, I have it on good authority they did it because of DEI body inclusivity stuff. They wanted to have one hero who looked like the average guy kind of thing,
My point to this though; why make this way when there are clearly skinny druids in the game?
Make every body model usable in the process of character creation, and there you have it, true inclusivity. This is really damn annoying to me.
All the other classes look sharp. Look really good. And then theres me, looking like I literally am completely out of shape. I dont even have shoulder muscle in my character model. Just undefined chub…
i want a druid sized necro.
I go on the main character screen to log in, and my barbarian looks so amazing. Such a badass. He looks like he ready to f things up.
And then I go to my main, the Druid. And Im like, you look like youre ready to F up a bag of potato chips…
Somebody get these devs on this. We need his model changed.
Druid looks awesome.
He doesnt. He looks like he can lift you up with one hand and pull your limbs from your sockets with the other.
my favorite animations are when the druid rope climbs, or rock climbs. Ain’t no way fatty is making it across that canyon carrying his own body weight lol.
You’ve never actually stepped inside of a gym and seen a power lifter with this exact body type. Get out of here with that “hurr durr woke inclusion” nonsense. But I do want to hear where you got this information from, since you have it on such good authority.
Why make a skinny druid when there are clearly big power lifter druids? Why make a skinny necro when there are average build cultist/necros in the game?
Which would require the modeling team to multiply all the work they’ve done by 500% because then they’d need to redo every single armor across every single body type for all existing armor and every subsequent expansion/season/shop item. It’s fine if you want that; I’m just telling you why it likely won’t happen.
This has nothing to do with inclusivity.
And this is how I know you’ve never set foot in a gym in your entire life. Apparently thick traps, broad lats, rounded delts, and a shelf-like upper chest is “undefined chub.”
And of course, someone who never goes to the gym looks at a sculpted bodybuilder physique and assumes that’s the only physique associated with all physical exercise.
See it’s guys like you that I find the most fun at the gym.
As a amateur power lifter every single one of you fools that spend all your time getting perfect definition then run your mouth about how much you can lift get schooled.
You know nothing john snow. The more “cut” you are, the weaker you are.
If you could point us in the direction of 1.) The person who hurt you and 2.) the other ARPGs that let you change your character’s body type. Most of them don’t even let you customize the character at all.
That would be 5 classes, 2 genders each, and then 5 body types for every single piece of armor in the game. That’s five times more art development.
You’re insane if you thing that’s a reasonable request to make.
Can confirm- powerlifters ain’t in the body sculpting club. A cut chiselled physique is through meticulous work.
Powerlifters…. They don’t care about the sculpting, they care about weather or not they can lift the equivalent of 3-4 humans.
Druid- power lifter (like seriously, the dudes carrying a slab of rock as a totem).
Barbarian- Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Someone the size of the Druid IRL could knock everyone in this thread out with 1 punch. Dude’s like 7 foot foot tall and atleast 280lbs of muscle.
I like the aspect of the druid, I feel represented in playing a beached whale who has unloaded several of his problems in the abuse of food, thanks blizzard for this opportunity.
Personally I don’t agree it’s terrible, fat but strong build works for this character. But I’ve no objection to them adding body sliders at some point for those who don’t like different characters having different body types.
Though frankly I never see much of my druids human shape outside of town anyway, spend most my time as a werewolf since I’m often in combat outside towns.
The thing they have tried to do is give the characters unique silhouettes which is often used in cartoon character design where you want a character to be instantly recognisable works well in online games and body type is good where there is a lot of variable gear to change the outline.
Even with the variable gear I could pick out any character class in this game from the silhouette. That denotes good character design if you want classes to be easy to identify.
The problem with that is you run into the same issues WoW has with armor. There might be an armor piece that looks badass on an orc, but looks stupid on a blood elf or whatever because some armor just looks better on bulky characters and others look better on lean characters.
This.
The druid looks like a dude who can be an incredibly lazy bouncer. The kinda dude who almost never has to phyisically remove someone from the bar. Because when he tells them to leave, they do. Immediately.
I used to work with a dude built like that. One day he accidentally broke a steel masterlock. Not the key, the shackle. He broke a half-inch of solid steel, on accident. Cause it was stuck.
