So the Dark Lady has finally decided to dispose off that Night Elven corpse she possessed and moved on to Blood Elves.

She looks creepier this time, though at least she's wearing something that looks more like armor, and actually carrying a bow.

I do agree that this particular model seems less intimidating, though I really can't say much for our current, bouncing queen. I think she should still have a hood on, that might help a bit.

She doesn't look like the WC3 Dark Ranger at all. Not dark enough, needs more smoke coming out of her eyes...

Last I recall people always BITCHED about her night-elf model... now. LOL OH NO SHE HAS A NEW ONE... CRAI..

There is no pleasing people.


She looks a lot more like she did in WC3.

Hood would be nice, but whatever. Cute hair.

I was of the understanding that a lot of hairstyles you cannot access at the character creation screen, only at the Barbershop. The default styles are at character creation, new styles and old styles available at the Barbershop. That might explain it.

Thank god she's not a Night Elf anymore, though.

Soooooooooo true. Hard to take one of my favorite lore figures seriously when she bounces with a smile on her face every what? 2 minutes?

About time they changed that. Now she looks more Ranger-ish, which I belive was the point as well...

Nope. Check your character creation screen, take a screenshot if you find it. Diomades has the right of it.

I don't see why Blizzard doesn't make original models for its lore characters...

Personally, I hate it, because in those pictures she's doing that ditzy head-tilt... A badass undead elf who commands the Forsaken and made a personal bitch out of a dreadlord should not ever do the "Uh, whaaaaa? lolz" head tilt...

It's annoying enough on the player models, but easier to ignore, somehow.

Skin needs to be paler, and possibly gray-ish... Put the hood back on her, and make the armor dark brown or black and dark green. She was a ranger general... rangers should have forest colored armor, considering that they specialize in being out in the wilderness, particularly in forests.

I will encourage Alliance to raid and destroy this new Barbie Doll Sylvanas. -_-

it is an insult they could take the time out to remake a minor character like whats his name in blades edge into a unique character but thrall, fordragon, sylvanas, stunty leaders? All still look generic. Hell a level 50 orc warrior could easily be made into a thrall twin. I dont give a crap about who you could play in WC3. This isnt WC3, it is WoW and my city leader is more important than some guy who gives a half dozen quests if that many.

Rand_Shea
08-23-2008, 03:16 AM
Fixed.

So a character that appeared in the manga gets a new model because he's pretty and has blue hair? And yet the faction leaders are stuck as larger versions of generic models.

Oh, and you missed Medivh.

Ryoku

Well, I personally wouldn't be complaining about Kalecgos.

They could've just colored a blood elf model with crappy blue hair and called it done.. I'm fine with the fact that they chose to give him a more... Half-Elf look.

Overall, I think all of the other faction leaders are fine. Sure Thrall could use an armor revamp, and maybe throw some glowy-eyes on Cairne like he had in WC3.. But really, they aren't special.. At all. Thrall is a regular Orc, Cairne is a regular Tauren, Bolvar is a regular human, Magni is a regular Dwarf. Just because somebody is important doesn't mean they automatically need plastic surgery to look different and more bad-ass than everybody else.

and besides, if anything the next thing they should look at is little Wrynn (the kid who is king of Stormwind). Because really, since when do you see a king walking around in the same clothes as the common folk? (LOL HE HAS A SCEPTER THO!)

and srsly, Sylvanas deserved this. She's been the wrong race for so long.. and also another point: The Dark Ranger was easily one of (if not THE) best hero choice in Warcraft 3.

This.

That was my biggest complaint about her. She's effectively an animated high elf. Last I checked, high elves and night elves had completely different builds.


I think with the available hair styles that the Female Blood Elves have, this was one of the better choices.

Honestly, I could see the ponytail working for her a bit better. Of all the hair styles, that just seems the sort that would be on a fighter-type. Why? One of the worst things that can happen in combat is to have hair just fly into your face due to the chaos of combat. What's the solution? Tie it back or tuck it into armor/clothing.

Here, let me lick away those salty tears. Mmmmmm...

I've always thought the Blood Elf head-tilt til was more of a "Uhg...wtf do you want?" kind of look.... considering the looks on thier faces while they're doing said head-tilt don't look ditzy at all.........

as for "Skin needs to be paler, and possibly gray-ish... Put the hood back on her, and make the armor dark brown or black and dark green. She was a ranger general... rangers should have forest colored armor, considering that they specialize in being out in the wilderness, particularly in forests."

1.) Thats as pale as its going to get.
2.) Everyone takes thier hood off at some point.
3.) She WAS (keyword WAS) a ranger-general, now she's the Queen of the Forsaken....so I mean.....kind of makes sense to you know.... wear dark black I'm pissy about dying and very glum mood. Armor....again... you aren't going to wear the same thing forever... and I think her time of "elfing in forests" is pretty done.

Thrall pretty much looks like how he does in WC3...last I checked.

Pretty sure they're all "common folks" in leadership roles...

Pretty sure they needed to make sure he looked more "Half Orc / Ogre"... since he was getting a new spot in Outlands.

But whatever. People like to complain. And I like to troll thier complaining with Logic Cannon.

If I seem to be "harsh" I appologize you're getting upset. D:

1) Nope. There's a shade of skin coloring with BE's where you can make them look almost pure white. Hers... has a slightly healthy looking shade of pink. Doesn't make her look dead like she's supposed to. The NE model at least was dark enough that it could pass for it.

2) It's not the lack of hood so much as it's the stylized hair. They could have chosen a better one, since in the Lament of the Forsaken video, even with her hood on, that didn't look like how her hair would be at all. She's supposed to be beautiful, but she doesn't seem like the type that would primp and perm.

3) If you do the necklace quest, though she denies it, she still holds on to some of her old life. Her abilities in combat hint pretty well that she still uses much of skills she was taught as a Ranger to use. She disappears, sneaks away, and snipes on top of summoning undead guardians with necromancy. As for the armor... I don't know of anyone who's a fan of any shade of fuschia.

And since the rest of his "race" just looks like really tall orcs I am pretty sure they didnt need to do anything. and okhu no offence, but nothing you type really registers on my scale of things to actually care enough about the be upset. You told me everything I needed to know about you when I left citadel.

Swerto

Looking at the picture on the first page her skin look plenty pale and sickly enough.The glowy eyes help.

Maybe she wanted a new doo? ...I mean they did open up barbershops in Wrath... right?..

And I was more refering to the whole Queen of the Banshee's jumping around through trees and crap like that. She's a Queen, she has servants. As for the Necklace quest I think she's upset about her sister. Then about anything else. And the Armor?... Armor seems fine.. its Dark and broody to me.

Considering WC3 is part of the WOW History, ect. I'd start caring more about it. Since Thrall looks EXACTLY like he does in WC3.(Save possibly the Doomhammer) I don't really see how you want them to look to make them "unique"... What exactly did you have in mind?.. I'm interested in your ideas. Since you've apparently got plenty of them to share...?..Ellaborate what you have in mind to make all of them unique.

Seems to me you cared about it enough to respond...so you're obviously wrong on that count.

08-23-2008, 12:43 PM
I agree that she should still have a hood on. Maybe something along the lines of the mage T5 or S2 hood, recolored and maybe retextured of course.

I think the model looks great though.

RavenReverend
08-23-2008, 01:14 PM
The chick is still an emosauce lieutenant of dork. I get innumerable jollies when "griefers" actually say something like "Lol wut?" after she's done with her little whiny bit before the song starts after you hand her the necklace.

Despite the fact she's the right race, she's just not nearly as intimidating as the leader of the Forsaken as an army. Seriously, the ditzy head tilt, the toss of the hip, the vapid expression...all of those just make me want to go hunter to put an aimed shot right between her undead eyes. Maybe this is what Blizzard is going for?

I personally don't have a problem with her current style... hair, skin color, eyes, armor, etc. My problem is that, at least to me, her model in WC3 always seemed a lot more stout than, you know, regular high elves. Think a blood elf look with night elf proportions. Also, she needs to have a more enveloping cloak and bigger shoulders, sort of like Maiev but without the blades. Currently, she is scaled to be larger than normal... she was taller than my beta copy of Rasta. But because of the skinnier size of belfs, she still looks too small.

You...really can't make a BE female look that intimidating. The only thing they have going for them is the head tilt-"I'm gonna shove a harpoon down your throat" look that depends entirely on the face choice. But seriously....its at least more intimidating than "bounce bounce" Sylvanas.

You know, this really is a situation where you just accept it, never go to Undercity's throne room, or quit the game.

Three choices. Bottom line.

No amount of fanboy-created images in WoW Model Viewer or griping will make Blizz change it. Look how long it took them to even give her the proper origin race, let alone fine-tune it to some odd concepts that have been presented here.

Wow, dick much? That's fine... the internet affords the ability to be a jerk without cause or provocation.

Egad gasp! (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/02/24/a-makeover-for-sylvanas-in-patch-2-4/) Omg, Blizz changed the model since first tinkering with it around patch 2.4. You mean there's probably been a handful of skins for the Dark Lady, maybe even dozens (none of which have been made Live yet)!? Someone called out the Orgrimmar Calvary and round up the usual suspects.

So they changed it again. They didn't say the last version was final... in fact, I believe Blizz that they were working on special versions of those characters a while back and its natural for an artist to make improvements to their work. I suppose that's why they call it Beta.

But you're diluted if you think it was the outpouring of people on the forums that did it; or do you happen to have proof of such a claim? Say, a blue post attesting to as much.

See, friend, my original statement still stands, because this is Beta. Once it goes live and is "permanent", you still only have three options: you accept the changes they make, avoid them, or don't play anymore.

Seriously though, I wasn't trying to be an uberjerk, just a...sorta-jerk. I was caught a bit offended by your THIS IS HOW IT IS CAUSE BLIZZ DONT CARE BOUT YOU attitude, and there's a good chance that you weren't going anywhere near that direction, it just seemed a bit overly hostile against people who just wanted better for a faction leader.

A lot of it has to do with the fact that as a leader of Infection, the Dark Lady is srs bsniss. She is the focal point of our RP, so having her look really badass just floats our boat. And to think that user feedback had nothing to do with this is a bit silly, cause that's what an MMO is based on, really.

Yeah, we're all dead people. The first quest you get from Arthas as a death knight sends you to instructor razuvious. If you stick around and watch him after accepting your quest, he walks over to the necomancers and oversees more of the raisings. The ones that get risen too early and seem to have emotions still are killed. Then further filtrations happen as you go on as those who perish during the training are not worth of the one true king.

We're going to have to get on vent sometime with you tracking him to see when he ventures outside the safety of Stormwind.

and to be on topic...

I was hoping they'd take more of an artistic liberty with an aspect like Alexstraza... one of the pictures on WoWWiki had her with a longer neck and overall looking graceful, and about as large as a small mountain. The big horns and that 'bling' on her throat flap (uh... ow?) makes her look male. :( I hope they put more work into her like they did for Onyxia and not just keep her as an altered normal model.

Varian looks about as angry as I thought he would... and beefy, like Arthas' human model. Fitting for a warrior king.... I bet he'll be one hell of a raid boss.

Sylvanas needs to be holding a weapon, because that pose is kind of pointless otherwise... Still sexy and badass otherwise.

Ymiron... I'm reminded of both Beowulf and Thor. I'd like to see him with whatever weapon, if any, they're going to have him wield.

Alexstrasza looks silly. Her horns look too big to fit on her skull and she has that weird jewelry on her. She'd look a lot better if she was a recolored Onyxia with some armor, maybe gold bracelets and a dragon-fitted breastplate with giant emeralds here and there.

BUT, knowing Blizzard, they've already made a special model for her and that's what they'll stick with. She looks more like a court jester than a queen.

Malygos isn't the controller of all magic. He's the guardian aspect of magic, meaning he keeps it from going out of control or the wrong artifacts from falling in mortal hands. Nothing would happen to magic if he dies.

The Red Dragonflight temporarily takes over the Blue's responsibilities in the meantime, while an heir for Malygos is chosen (likely, as you said, Kalec or Tyri).
