I actually like the old animation better on the male at least.
Off-topic, but I also miss the “Today in Nazjatar/Mechagon” posts. 😞
The male teeth from the start look like something from a broken chair glued to the jaws. Now it looks the same, just more polygons. In the meantime the females get wolf like teeth which look great. Maybe the lead art designer should watch some wolf documentaries or just google for wolf jaws to get a decent idea what wolves should look like and how to apply it to worgen. The cinematic designer managed to give greymane really good teeth. Seriously. The current male worgen teeth are straight and are pointing outwards. There is nothing right about that. They want them to look more different than female teeth. I get that. But giving them an evolutionary disadvantage in combat, for hunting and visually is crappy design.
Everything is better especially that running animation but where are the stealth animations?
the feet on the male worgen look incredibly frog-like from behind while running now and it's impossible to unsee it once you inevitably notice it, would have been good otherwise but I'm horribly fixated on this
Looks great. Just wish they had beefed up the waist so it looked like it could handle the weight of the upper body and removed that god awful hunch but eh we get what we get and what we're getting is already better than what we got.
please bring back the today in naz and mech posts
So much better. Maybe I will get back to my allies after these changes hit...
I love the new walk and run cycles! They look so much more focused with less head-bobbing, like they're really coming to mess you up. >:)
finally female worgens will look like wolves!
Dislikes:- Male Casting Animation : Still too flaily to me I would have prefered the hands to be closer to the body.- Female panties : makes the animal look too human for me. Not wild enough- Size: They have kept the same size, I would have preferred the worgen to become as big as Taurens, they would have to change all the buildings of Alliance...- I would have preferred them to go a totally different route with the model more like the Valkyns in DAoC, I don't like that their legs is so unbalanced with the head and torso.- The model fits badly with most armors still - Fishing animation is poor- Shoulders and armors are placed badly on the model- No white fur- No huge claws like Greymaine- No Claw color customizationLike: - Male Worgen look a bit tougher, shoulders are more imposing.- Female face look less cartoony - The scars look great on male worgen- Brown fur color is very niceOverall not satisfied with the Worgen Race would ask for another rework ASAP
I like the new animations, and plus i think the new model was due for a few animation replacers. Also i can't wait to see what Blizzard has in the next major PTR build.
Shrug, feels like a ton of work for very minor updates. I wish they would put more time into stuff like class balancing and testing.
Old females faces are still better in my opinion, THe new ones look plain boring and don't fit at all. No savage smile...
As my husband and I both have worgen toons (I have a female druid, he has a male mage, dk, warrior) we can both agree the ptr casting for the male look better. I like the improvements in the overall look of the females and the facial looks. The run looks better as well. Running wild could use some improvements, but it is starting to look better. We both agree that we'd like to see the males have a bit more upright posture like Genn has. The broad shoulders aren't the issue so much as the hunch over is a bit too hunched over. I'd like to see some more updates to them, but what we both have seen, this is progress in the right direction, but still could use more work.Addendum: We both agree a heritage armor quest would be great for them since I completely enjoyed the Sin'dorei quest for my blood elves. It adds a bit more backstory to the race as a whole, but also get to gain more insight into them as a whole.
Oh, very nice. I was never much bothered by the huge arm-waving casting, but I do like these much better. And the less bouncy upright run. And yes, thank Elune for the female worgens' faces. No more perma-snarl and the awkward bedroom eyes are gone. Great improvement all around, imo. Can't wait for that elegant Heritage armor.
I think the running animation looks amazing on male. Like he is ready to use those claws to rip someone's face off! Much better than the old run and walk.
