You have strayed so far from the game as we knew it

It’s more than the models. No one was against high res improvements to player characters. But what we got was a drastic departure from the characters that we created and got to know.

Then factor in the over-animation of everything - janky facial expressions and moving mouths, casting animations that are busy just for the sake of being busy, randomly floating in the air while casting - none of this is or was true to the spirit of our characters. It’s movement for the sake of movement and it takes away from the game.

So while something new and improved would have been fine in theory, the final product utterly failed to deliver on its promise to be HD models of the characters we’d had for ~10 years up to that point.

People are still complaining about the objectively superior WoD character models?

Isn’t that the only thing of value we got from that bloody half-expansion?

look if you can’t comprehend the sheer complexity of casting either rank 8 heal or rank 7 its not even worth getting into. no m+ affix even comes close to the sheer depth, story telling, player choice of casting my heal for 1k hp or 800hp.

I’d actually like it better if they kept the old underwear style but updated the model.

You should recant your heretical views and repent…

Boy shorts bikini bottoms are clearly superior.

I’m glad they changed the character models, the ones from Classic are absolutely trash looking.

Yes, retail needs saving and has been, “dying” for 15 years.

Yawn.

I remember playing Classic WoW after release, played it for two days. I had forgotten how absolutely awful character models looked back then. Class design was even worse in Classic than any other era in the history of the game. Hey, lets spam one ability over and over and over and over again.

Changes happen to nearly every part of life, deal with it, or stay in nostalgia lands for the rest of your WoW life.

The biggest names of Classic have left for retail and other games, servers haven’t had any real queues in over a month, been seeing more people coming from Classic to FFXIV and Retail over the last couple of months.

Get out of your bubble if you think more people are in Classic than Retail lol
