I’m still enjoying retail, the only thing I really have to complain about it is the community in general and the fact that the renown are not account-bound… Something I think I remember them saying they would do haha.
But sometimes I get the call of nostalgia and I want to make a new toon on a classic server just to play super casually… Unfortunately I have become spoiled by the retail versions of the characters… If they’re going to keep pumping out classics, and if they’re going to introduce new things to the classic servers (like them adding a m+ system for wotlk classic), why can’t they add the better looking models?
I don’t know just how much work that would entail… But they have the code already, right?
One of the many things that turned me off from retail was when they took away the option to use the old models.
Don’t get me wrong, I think some of them are upgrades and look fine but the revamped undead models were…lets just say I wasnt a fan. To each his own though.
As far as Classic goes though I think there may be some limitations due to the animations and accompanying effects as the models in retail work in concert with all the flashy particle effects for most abilities.
I generally prefer the retail model updates, including the vast customizations they added. That said, you will always get some push back from some players that prefer the old models.
I get that some may like the retail aesthetic but it is actually one of the PRIMARY reasons I can’t play that game.
The models are more detailed but there is just ZERO artistic style to it. It just seems very generic and plain reminding me of mobile games.
If the models were forced into classic I would 100% quite.
HOWEVER, if they made an option to use them, it really wouldn’t affect us, but realize it would not match the world art at all and look very out of place.
Tauren female model is ruined in retail.
Classic model is the better looking. IF Blizzard allowed use of the retail models they need to allow us to elect to NOT use them as well.
Yeah they were/are terribad. All my mogs looked like trash afterwards (and they even screwed that up as I was missing pieces I had already obtained) and it became one of the 238 reasons I quit retail.
