I see Rexxar there, does that mean Frozen Throne is going to be included?

Wow, looks amazing.

Ummm are those portraits depicting a female Demon Hunter unit, and a Female Death Knight unit?

Oh no…

…Why is that bad?

It’s not bad, but it’s not good either.

For me it’s more of an unneeded change y’know?

If it’s true, what do you think it’s the reason they did it?

Why is it an unneeded change? We know that they’re adding stuff.

To have more variance and diversity for the models? A demon hunter model that’s a distinct person and not just ā€œIllidan with a different nameā€ makes sense for the game’s hero system.

I don’t know, it’s just me.

I would be equally as mad to see a male Warden hero unit.

Hopefully it’s only a portrait thing.

I love the new portraits, especially the Night Elven ones. I can’t wait to play this game!!!

Wowhead comments are saying that there was a statement at some point that they were adding female versions of previously male-only heroes.

Looks like they put pants on the night elf archer.

Like I knew they would. :joy:

Those are leggings. Look closer, they stop at her thighs.

The ā€˜leg’ portion have the consistency of pants if you ask me. Hard to tell from that angle, but yeah.

Seeing as how this sort of thing is no-no in China, I’m not surprised. Just disappointed that Blizzard lied about keeping everything as it was.

But I was entirely expecting them to do something like this, so I suppose I had already braced myself.

Why later, good sir?

I’ll thank you a bunch right now! Free of charge!

Weird thing is, if you check the armor the Night Elves wear during their appereances in BfA, they’re the same if not more revealing than the original WC3 archer model. Heck, even the males are showing full thighs.

Looking at the original archer models, the so-called pants are the same leggings, just more detailed. They also replaced the panties alone with them having a cloth draped over their front. You guys are exagerating.

I do like that the other humans at the very least don’t have the stupid oversized shoulderpads. They look much better and I hope it means the art team changed the plate wearers design.

Edit: bleh nvm there’s a plate wearer there and he still has the stupid shoulders.
