Blizzard, Your art style is perfect! Don't change it

‘’ Too big shoulders ‘’? What is it that you’re saying!?
‘’ Too big shoulders ‘’ in Warcraft???

Waaaaaat.
If anything they should be bigger!

I don’t like the look of the reforged tauren that much, especially the log it carries:

Can we please have the classic W3 model with a log that looks like a triangular prism not a cylinder? The less cartoonish and more realistic it is going to be, the better. Thanks.

Have you ever seen a triangular tree? I haven’t…

Can you fight imagine fighting with such fat cylindrical “reforged” log? You will not be able even to hold it!!
The log I’d prefer to see was this one: xhttps://wow.gamepedia.com/Tauren_(Warcraft_III)#WC3

I couldn’t imagine fighting with it.

A giant minotaur person in a fantasy game? Now that I could imagine.

Lol I link we can agree that carrying a totem pole and swinging it like a club is impractical and impossible.

Also, the original is a product of low poly modeling. They can do more now. This is very much a fulfillment of the original design.

Also, like KingOmellette said, it’s a Tauren. They’re huge and can carry logs. It’s not a person :joy:

Taurens using Totems as weapons is most likely an homage to a game that the Blizz devs used to play a lot of in the office; Samurai Shodown 2.

Also of note, the Warcraft Trolls bear a very distinct resemblance to another character from that series

Really liking the upgraded art, this game is looking fantastic so far!

IF people dont like the “new art” just dont whine.

A awed player for 20 years of Warcraft RTS , for my self i can say. Its glorious.

If you want to have the same as wc3 , be a snowflake an a entitled.

If people cant see the difference between a footman and militia , grunt and peon, seriously get EYE SURGERY , you need it.

It’s pretty obvious , people are “figthing” amongs each other about the art.

The shoulders are too BIG, - no , they need to be BIGGER, - no they need to be smaller.

Its rediculous… wc3 back in 2004 didn’t ask anyone what they think about the art style.

Asking the player base about their opinion is one of the worst and most toxic things they could make.

Just stop whining.

The more I read , the more i read about whining entitled people.

Why is the Dark Ranger called ‘’ Sylvanas ‘’ on the Chinese site tho?.. Is it really Sylvanas? She looks nothing at all like Sylvanas and we saw concept art of her before which looked like her before BFA and in Heroes of the Storm.

She was a Night Elf Archer in July. Don’t take it seriously, that model is cursed.

True. The incessant whining is incredible. I’m watching Grubby’s stream and am awed.

I don’t know how this post got revived but the OP was referring to the artstyle of the DEMO in 2018 and many of us agreed with him. It was perfect until it’s not.

Disagree 100% with OP. Do not like the art style. Been playing this game since the beginning.

Would have killed for the “original” graphics models to just be redone with higher polycount, etc., but retain the same shape and color scheme.

News flash - in November 2018, most agreed that the terrain looked terrible and unfinished. We were talking about the models.

Since then, the models are mostly the same, whereas the terrain has improved vastly.

Yes I was there.

General Discussion

Agree 100% on the artstyle, keep it up. This is coming from someone who has spent thousands and thousands of hours playing wc3 custom games back in 2004-2008. My concern is that the terrain and the tile textures seem a bit sloppy and needs to match with the models.

Get this, it’s still sloppy.

I think the art style is great, I just wish they would increase the color saturation. When you look at footage of people playing the beta, everything looks matte and indistinguishable

So… you want it all to be cartoony?

That’s not Reforged’s purpose.

Isn’t it the opposite? Aren’t people clamouring that the colours are not bland and depressive enough?
