Classic WoW isn't going to hold a large audience for more than 2-3 months, guaranteed; it's a gimmick. Streamers are keeping the sheep occupied for now. I would like to see a massive overhaul to PvP in this game - since I am the core a PvP player, but I never see it happening.

I agree about them not caring too much about the new races. It's obvious the way they were handled - like a side project rushed at the last minute. Unfortunate.

Its not ridicolous. You might not like it, but that dosent mean its objectively bad.

Wow classic isnt gonna hold up for more than 6 months but then Blizzard will eb very close to releasing their next expansion, which if done fine will get back a majority of the wow refugees (which as long as im aware of) make for a decent amount of ffxiv players, and yes, both of the new 'races' (if they can even be called that at this point) are something that shouldnt even have been released until at least 6.0 instead of releasing whatever we got

The two for females are just the Lalafell model and the Hyur model which all the female playable races who aren't Lalafell use. All the muscle tone is just a texture change in the material. It is also the same reason female Viera doesn't have special feet because they just use the Hyur body. The three body for males are the Roegadyn one which Hrothgar shares with, Lalafell which is its own thing, and Hyur which Elezen, Miqote, Au Ra, and Highlander all share with. All the game does is scale the bones of the model to make a new body. No new rigging for every single race. As for animations, since most characters share the same bones they could easily just have both male Viera use the same animation set as each other in terms of clans. You can even see some shared animations between male Midlander and Highlander despite them looking drastically different. Most they would do in the case of a male Viera is make new face models and animations but have them use the Hyur body with different bone scaling.

I think that male viera will be just like female viera, male miqote (exact same identical body) with female viera edited animations and heads that are basically scaleless aura face 1 and 3 a higlander face and a midlander face, all slightly edited, while female hrotgar will eb fem roe with mle hrotgar faces with eyelashes and perhaps different hairstyles (probs a bold option since fem lions are bold)

You were stating that there won't be new racial specific hair for Hrothgar. You were incorrect so I provided a link for proof.

I don't remember. I have very bad memory at times. I don't even quite grasp what the conversation is. :confused:

It would help if there was any news about the situation or any acknowledgement of it at all. 12 days till the next live letter and it feels like it's been a long time since we've had any news about other things in the game as well.

there wont be any hairstyles for male hrotgar since there never will be hairstyles for male hrotgar. They will just get new faces thta might have different hairstles, but keep in mind its possible that after seeing what theyve done with female viera they decide not to even give male hrotgar new hairstyles and just give us existing faces with the other existing hairstyles
