New gnoll models

Not sure how that’s an argument. But okay.

Point being is that this matches the art style of the game.

The five pixel old model looked like crap. New ones look epic. Hogger just needs his coloration and armor.

Agree to disagree. :woman_shrugging:t4: Have a good night.

Back in Cata at least the problem is that all faces shared the same geometry (only textures differed) which heavily limited how different face options could be. That might be less of a problem today.

Indeed. They already made some excellent changes in BfA - female Worgen set up right with the new options really bring back a lot of that ferocity and such to their appearance.

Hell, I changed my fury warrior one to that striped pattern, the face with the dark on top of the snout, and the red eyes, and she looks vicious.

It doesnt match the art style of the game. Just because its a game thats cartoon style doesnt mean it has to be cute. The redditor did a better job and maintaining the cartoon look and making it vicious in 20 minutes.

I am just hoping for the Gnolls as a allied race :grin:

I like that they’re updating the models, but Hogger needs a facelift. His new model in WoW looks tame compared to his HotS look.

EDIT: Spelling is hard.

It wouldnt make sense for gnolls to join the alliance, and it wouldnt make sense for tuskarr to join the horde

Maybe there will be some good gnolls in dragonflight that will change that but i think this is how it should be

The model the normal Gnolls and Hogger suck. They look like furry fanart.

The models with headgear and armor look pretty good though, it fixes and hides the flaws I have with the art style and really makes them look much better.

…the new gnoll models are amazing, and a long-needed update to one of the worst vanilla assets in the game. Like, they were bad for 2004.

I think they look cute.

But I think hyenas are cute so I’m biased.

I do think Hogger should look more unique like his Heroes of the Storm model however.

There’s really only two adjustments they need to make. Narrow the eyes slightly to handle the odd bug-eye look, and get rid of the droopy tongue/jaw for a more menacing ‘growl’ look.

Thanks, Human Male Paladin for your valuable opinion.

Sir.
As the zoo keeps telling you, you are not meant to approach hyenas - or kidnap them as pets.

Gonna be honest and say I don’t see any difference or improvement here other then the person giving him the face of a Charr and putting his shoulder guard on his right shoulder for some weird reason.
