New heritage sets! Yay! Why do they look like trash?

Its literally a re-imagining of the draenei art form BC where they are wearing incredibly similar armor.

I think the Draenei armor is perfect, and suits the race well. (Well i have some issues with the helm but there are few helms i approve of in this game).

Sorry its not to your taste

Question: Why re-imagine something that’s not in the game already? Why not just make the thing?

It’s not. Take another look, you might need a refresher. They took enough “liberties” that it’s not the same armor. I’d link it but Blizz won’t let me.

It is. They just changed it from artwork to what works in the game. I think it’s great.

The troll one is awesome sans stupid mask.

All they have to do is remove the stupid elephant nose.

There are fifty shades of gold in this game. None of them match each other.

Golds, blacks too. It’s infuriating.

Feels like they just wanted to dook something out quick to be like ‘Look! More heritage armor!’ I thought draenei got the worst of it until I saw the troll mess. Oof.

Yeah the Red Hot Chili Peppers sock on the face is just so bad.

No, these these will be re-used WoD assets. Remember the masks that appeard on Enchanter’s study or in Darkspear distric in Warspear? You will be able to wear them.

In datafiled they’re named “Loamasks” - I was intruiged on what was it, and in export it showed exactly that, WoD tiki masks that won’t match the rest of the set, with purple cord behind the mask.

I don’t recall those actually. I don’t suppose you have a link you could share.

I hope it works.

Heritage sets definitely feel like they ran out of steam towards the later ones. Pandarens should be worried.

Then you would’ve recognized the set is based on the concept art.

Oh I see. Thank you for sharing. To be honest if that’s the alternatives we’re getting I’m more than a little disappointed. But I’ll cling to hope for now.

The Devs wont like my opinion on this, The troll armor is garbage, they would have looked better wearing a radiator and bellows ,like the Fat Albert band from 1973.
It looks absolutely awful and it shows how much they disrespect the troll race.
Cant even exude the effort to draw decent armor for them.
I am going to doodle Anduin in a Tutu just for spite!

Good thing the Orc Heritage set is awesome, my Orc Warrior looks rad in it and I’m even thinking of maining her next expansion.

Dark Iron and Void Elf also look great.

I’m genuinely fascinated by the huge disparity of opinions about the troll armor. Because plenty of people (myself included) love it. I think it is absolutely spot on for the darkspear style. Yet at the same time, lots of people vehemently loathe it, and think it is all wrong. I just think it’s interesting how people have such different ideas in their heads about the same race.

And just to be clear, when i talk about people liking the armor i mean everything except the head piece. I don’t think anyone likes that :sweat_smile:

She looks awesome. The orc armor actually really annoyed me when I first saw it. It seemed so generic. But i learned to absolutely love it. Seeing some old trading card art of Durotan wearing almost the exact armor, made me realise they had actually dug really deep for inspiration.

Yes vehemently loathe it. The trading post troll cloth armor set was MUCH better , they should just make that xmog to plate and mail
