So before all the “WAGGHHH DH IS A WOMEN WAGGGHHHHH” whine threads take over can we just take a moment to celebrate the fact that they actually made the Nelves sexy and even went as far as to give the PoTM high heels? Like seriously, they look amazing! Anyone else agree?
yeah the models look dope but I was also expecting Custom games
I feel in love of the Keeper of The Grove. Strong Arms well done body and it looks amazing.
Warden and Demon Hunter feel a bit… diminutive? To me. I’m oddly taken/easily pleased by the Wisp “model”, really sparkly.
I’ll be honest I don’t know why the Glaive Thrower… breathes? Shifts in place? So much. Hippogryph looks like it needs some adjustments on the rig because its own wings clip into the torso a bit. I love the antlers but think their palette might need some adjusting, the colours are a bit parrot like. Chimeras are sick, love 'em. I like how lizardlike the Faerie Dragons are.
Druids are really solid in and out of their animal forms. Avatar of Vengeance is tight, love the star/constellation patterning.
They also let Druid of the Claw keep that primal look, I love it.
Yes I think the update is pretty good.
Every single Night Elf unit looks awesome, IMO. My only gripes are with the hippogryph’s coloration, as it strays very far from the original, and the fact that the Mountain Giant’s tree doesn’t seem to be based off of the tree he picks up: IIRC if you made them grab a Mushroom tree in Classic then their war club would be a Mushroom Tree. I also find the breathing Glaive Thrower kind of odd, but considering what Night Elven trees can do I think its fine. Lastly, while I like the horns, I was expecting Hippogryphs to attack with their claws.
If I may peacefully bring up the Female Demon Hunter, I think she looks great aside from some minor animation issues. My only aesthetic gripe with her is that her voice reminds me more of Illidan’s voice in Heroes of the Storm than the WC3 Demon Hunter - Granted, the Female Death Knight also doesn’t sound much like their original counterpart either, so that probably should have been expected. Additionally, this makes her the only female Night Elf (aside from the Hippogryph Rider, which is an air unit) that doesn’t have Shadow Meld, which the original didn’t have presumably because they were male, like the Druids. I suppose this could be explained away by the fact Demon Hunters forsake their people’s natural ties to pursue Demon Magic, so it doesn’t really matter all that much in the end.
Yeah ok but let be honest. Female DH is terrible.
KappaPride
i fell in love with female DH instead.
no one gives a damn if she’s a woman
the voice acting is a steaming hot pile of poop in a beautiful lovely mansion of wonderful sound effects, music, and voice acting
and it stinks up the whole mansion
until they give us the option to use entirely original wc3 sounds people are fully justified to complain about the stinking crap on the floor smelling up the whole house
also 2 biggest problems besides this:
bears are too small
moonwells should get emptier the less mana they have
The Warden model is so cool, look like some sort of avenger knight i love it, they did a great job on NE, and the huntress and dryad are gorgeous, i couldn’t be happier
are you into scat by any chance because you mention it a lot
no but the new DH voiceacting might be
also bears are too small
Really? I remember how in November 2018 a lot of folks were disappointed that he did not have a lush beard. [Cenarius does have it, hopefully, it will be a skin.]
I do : )
I’m afraid, non-English users will be even more appalled as their voice acting might be illegal for Blizzard to use.
I’m into “training” male units.
i was never a fan of beards to begin with and as such: the keeper of the grove looks better without it.
Betrayer of the Light!
Truer words have never been spoken!
The only visual problem with the female DH is that her chest feels as flat as her blades - not sure if female or trans-DH. At this point i am kinda tired of this social justice crap with the anti-boobs policy. MAKE TITIS GREAT AGAIN god dammit. That being said, another problem i see with the NE is the hippogryph - it looks like a unit made for the gay pride month - it almost nails all the colours on the rainbow flag - this would have worked better on the fairy dragon, but on the hyppo - it looks horrible to me. It just doesn’t fit with the darker/nightish style of the night elves as a whole. It looks like a different unit from another race.
Edit - forgot about this one - Naisha also looks rather weird with the non-TC shield and the non-redish glaive. The light grey coloured shield makes her look unfinished while having a grey glaive looks bad when attacking with the normal huntress glaive projectile which has those red blade tints on it.
Seriously? “OMFG GAY PRIDE AND TRANS PROPAGANDA!!!”
Also, i don’t know if you know this but some guys like small boobs. Shocker.
