Blood Elfs Idle Animation

Ok, since shadowlands is coming out later this year, i thought this would be a good time to mention, the character idle animation for the female blood elf’s needs to be updated. The scrunched up grumpy face she makes when her head turns to the side and then looks back to the front is not how the original model looked before the model was updated in WOD. I know this is a personal gripe of mine, but when character models and animations are updated, they need to make the player feel the same connection they had with that character before it was updated. Scrunched up grumpy face is not an improvement and needs to go!!! pretty please with cherries on top :).

I dunno, I always really liked the idle animation actually, just make not the facial expressions on it.

Give them bigger balloons on their chest. It’s to small. I want a sexy blood elf xD I agree, need better idle animation.

Can we also talk about how the pale skintone options used to be far paler for the females before the model update? I actually switched most my belves to males because after the update, it looked as if all my female elves had gotten a tan. I’m glad to see new darker skintone options. Give us some lighter ones too. I miss my ethereal looking girls :c

I don’t mind the idle itself, but the expression should be fixed.

Omg, they totally need to remove that dance and do something way better.

But blood elves are supposed to be smug and snobbish! That head turn is the most smug look of disgust I’ve ever seen!

I was actually gonna say this, and I love that animation. Or they could go back and give us the BC animation where she looks at her nails.

Lol.

I’m still dancing Napoleon Dynamite. That movie is old enough that people won’t get the reference now; they’ll think I’m male stripping.

I actually cringe when someone in the raid activates that toy that forces me to dance.

Definitely not. Blood Elves, both genders tbh, have some of the worst dances in the game, lol. Especially the males, but definitely seconded by the females. The Macarena is a lot better. Human Males don’t have the best, but it’s not terribad like the Napoleon Dynamite, lol.

Plus Humans have that special, second dance at Norington Estate. That ballroom dance is the best in the game, hands down.

If they could please make it not do the head-turning idle while we’re looking at a target, that would be great. It tends to confuse the poor head-pointer and it just looks weird.

I like the grump face. I just think the chin juts out a little too much when it happens

Didn’t they make their butts slightly bigger? that not enough for you?

Ah they’re doing the disney method.

Can’t have a large chest on a girl? Big butt then. Cartoonists were crafty like that. That’s why a lot of mom characters end up with large butts and small chests.

But that idle animation and their away animation are the most adorable parts of the female Blood Elves.

as long as they fix that constipated casting animation male nelfs have.

Make this optional. Or a slider.

I prefer girls with small chests.

The scrunchie faces are a plague on all the women of azeroth during idle, tinkering, and dances. The proportions go whacky, it’s off.

I kinda like the macarena, it’s dorky and cute. My favorite part is when she puts her hands on her hips and swings the booty. Always wished there were more emote dances however, kinda like ffxiv which has racial defaults and then a whole host of others. Songbird is the best for those of you who know
