We really need a new customization/remodel update

Community General Discussion

Besides several races lacking in customizations, such as the Kul’tiran, we need some updates on some of the models, notably Panderen which hasnt gotten its HD remodel, being the only race still behind in that regard.

But some other races have glaring issues:

1.- Male Worgen:
The shoulders are ridiculously huge and one of the them (Cant remember which one) is a bit too high, almost looking like its floating.

The model in 3D belts also is off center, which can be infuriating once you notice it, i believe the female model also has this problem.

2.- Dwarves in general:
The beards, oh god the beards, even the newest set from the Traders causes clipping and that one was specifically themed after them, even some of the mustaches can clip into the body itself, which should not EVER happen, it would be one thing if it was an issue with 3D armor but the model of the character itself? yeah no.

3.- Male Night Elves:
This is even more apparent with the reveal of the new race, Haranir which look a lot like Nelfs, so can we fix the torso/waist already?

Even the Pre-Demon Illidan Model had a better body proportion in that regard:

(Petition to remove trust level, nobody likes it)

4.- Pandaren:
Was already said, but yeah they need their HD remodel, even the current model has some problems from what i heard, something about the back of their heads i think it was.

5.- Mechagnome.
With the inclusion of the Dracthyr showcasing the level of customization they can have, its about time the MGs also get similar treatment, theyre also restricted in what they can wear, and their prosthetics are too heavily limited, plus like just about any races lacking in, they need more color variants of their Heritage armor, needing the Silver and Rust versions.

I would love to have the old Human male animations. specially the 2h weapon jump and swing. and the jumping overall was better.

Definitely agree. Almost all race animations look dated, and that’s because they are. WoD was 11 years ago, and for Pandaren, MoP was 13 years ago. Even “new” races, barring the fact that BfA was 7 years ago, have some wonky animations too. Just look at how Zandalari Males walk. These models could use an update or customization overhaul as well. With clipping being an issue for a lot of races, such as dwarven beards, tauren braids, and a lot of hair styles, like trolls and night elves, being straight up broken for almost the entire expansion of TWW.

I feel like resources are being allocated to wrong areas, like DoA systems. Looking at you, “Prey” system.

Theirs started the HD remodels! They set the new standard which the others were brought up to.

Not really, theyre more of a 1.5 thing, unlike the remodels which are 2.0.

6

And animation pass. What is up with the crazy contortions when you hold a weapon and swing? And give casters casting animations with weapons!

No, the pandaren were literally what they referenced in revamping the other.

Couldn’t get the timestamped link to work. Go to about 10:50 though.

Thats cause their models were an upgrade from the originals, but the HD ones look better than the pandaren.

Nah, they’re the same quality level. You’re talking like there is a distinction, but the pandaren are also HD models. 14:30 in the video as well. “Brought up to the same quality as our panda models.” You might prefer this or that race, but there’s no difference in the technology behind them. They all have the same high number of polygons and bones to give them fluid movements and expressive animations. I agree it would be cool if they did another character model revamp for everyone. But the pandaren haven’t been left behind in any way.
