I used the model toggle in WoD, it worked fine. Explain to me how they failed, or are you just parroting what other people with no evidence have claimed? I’ve seen videos on youtube of the old models being edited back into the live game, and they work fine.
Armor has always clipped, and in some cases the new models fixed some of the distortion in armor textures, I’ve posted an example of this before. Only Blizzard knows exactly why the toggle was removed, we can only speculate.
As best as I can tell from what I used of the toggle, what it mostly was was the old models on the new skeleton rig for animations.
So if the animation more or less lined up properly for what it was with the old model, it worked out okay. If it didn’t, well… that’s where the numerous animation glitches showed up. Just how bad it was depended on what race/gender your character was.
Only Blizzard fully knows why it was removed but at a guess? It was removed because with Demon Hunters and new animations being added all the time as they revamped or added things the number of visual glitches were only increasing because everything was designed with the new models in mind and not the old ones.
They probably considered the old models not worth hanging onto anymore, but if they had the toggle in Classic they would still have the same issue with the animation sets unless they went through and fixed that as well.
Also the new models ruined my ponytail on my Shaman and I’m still bitter about that.
Yeah true. You know who is a developer though? The lead developer of Classic WoW. He’s a developer. He is in fact the lead developer. You know what he said? Go play BfA if you want class balance. Yep. The lead Classic Developer said that.
Blizzard’s stance on Classic has been made apparent. Blizzard’s stance is no changes.
Really? You really need them to tell you that this isn’t going to be in Classic? Really? REALLY!?
You have got to be one of the most dedicated trolls I have ever seen. You just don’t let up. There’s no way you’re that dense. No human could possibly be that dense. You have to be a super dedicated basement dwelling troll.
Loot trading wasn’t asked for, was forced on us to minimize tickets. I don’t like it but I’m accepting that it’s there.
But one change. Put in by blizzard for blizzards benefit doesn’t open the gate for you to ram through 15 other changes.
Blizzard could post an actual list of every post-Vanilla change saying they wont be adding it to Classic and people will still go “but maybe if we post enough, they’ll change their minds!”.
