A welcome change, even if absolutely meaningless to me. Now, if they could change the horrible female belf casting animations as well, that would be sweet. The perfect character should have perfect animations ^^
Well, as good as the new stance looks, I wish it had a little of the unique flair of the old still in place. NOT the weird, right foot forward, twisting around thing, but just...tweaked so that it doesn't just look like they plucked the human female animations up and slapped them on the Belf model. Which appears to be exactly what they did. :-/ It seems that with a lot of these new, soon-to-come combat and casting animations for all classes, a lot of the unique race animations, especially during combat, are a thing of the past. Everyone just does the exact same pose and motion for casting, and now the slightly different shooting animation for the Belf is gone. I could be wrong in this assumption, and hope that I am. New stuff is cool, but the loss of the old is also bittersweet.
I WOULD ADDED some kind of ammo pouch to back as part of weapon cause its acutally looks like u are picking arrows from nowhere.
The stance looks too wide to me, but altogether it is a welcome and impressive improvement!
finally! the old animations always bugged me, considering they're supposed to be master archers
Now, if only some of the Restoration Druid animations in 7.3 got some love and were refined :(I'm very happy with this change, the old one seemed to have her legs frozen in another animation while the upper body played the other.
the gun stance alone would have knocked them on their butt
Yeah, a more than needed change, but they need now to go back on those warglaives of azzinnoth. People got used to the WRONG sheating of the weapons for years, Legion came they used the same #$%^ (havoc ones), instead of fixind it. There's a big difference of what is CORRECT and what is Easy. They went for the easier path...
Really hope it is work in progress. I kinda prefer the old ( non-broken ) shooting animation we had 8 years ago.I also prefer the current shooting animation for my female Blood elf, so if they give us a choice to choose, that'd be great as well as add a variety to the race.
I cannot say the same for their new eye glowing thing! They look like they have two balls of gas in front of them!
Also here's hoping the eye glow is a bug.
I'll no sadly it's not a bug. This is how Blood elves are gonna look from now on. Blizzard did this on purpose and they won't change them back that's for sure.
This looks so much better than it is on live! Now I really want to make a blood elf hunter (:
The bow looks great. But for some reason Hunters don't actually look through their scopes or sights before they shoot their weapons. It's like they are performing a hip-shot, shooting blindly in the vague direction of their target instead of lining up the shot before shooting. For a class that is all about target-shooting I'd assume that my Hunter would know the proper way to shoot a rifle if he's supposedly holding the artifact weapon of the greatest Hunter of all time. I'm not even going to go into the fact that the Belf is performing a pump-action motion when she's holding a muzzle-loading black powder rifle. LOL I know it's a blanketed action for all guns, but I still laugh at the inaccuracy sometimes.
