The trend to big puppy eyes continues, no matter if it fits or not. Glad I didn't much like to play goblin in the first place. Much more annoying with the pets, where it's the same.
Nice changes to the faces.Too bad they kelp those oar-like monkey-arms. Especially on the females... wtf.Lets hope they dont still "do the hokey pokey" and wave them around like they dont care, when running.
Incase goblins
Imagine playing Goblin after this update.Why'd they Disneyfy the eyes? Goblins are supposed to have beady, deep-set, dark eyes. They're supposed to look shifty and conniving. It's a way in which their racial tendencies can be conveyed visually through their design. The ability to set that kind of tone at a glance was one of the best parts of the goblins visually. Why would you diminish that. They just look like deformed baby orcs wearing colour contacts now.Also using that much botox is dangerous, and has never been fashionable, even in the early 2000's when people weren't sure if it was the future or the end of the world yet.
To people complaining about the faces being the same: None of the faces have a FacePose animation in place. The WoWhead model viewer doesn't support it, so all it will show are texture changes. Goblins don't have them in those files, but open any current race and search for "FacePose". It will cycle between the different facial structures that, in game, are assigned to individual faces.They're not done yet. Get down from the belltower.(Also, current goblins are just texture swaps so I don't see what the big deal is.)
This is terrible work blizzard. While its obvious you have improved the quality of the models and textures, the price we seem to be paying is a total loss of what makes Goblins cool. They are no longer grimy and ugly in a cool way. They no longer look like Goblins, and every face is exactly the same. The decision to make them all look cutsey and smooth is a terrible one, and has completely destroyed what I love about one of my main characters. By all means, ADD new cutesy/sexy faces for those that want them, but such a drastic change in the whole races demeanor is just insulting. I hate this change and I dont want to play my character anymore.
They are horrible, always will be horrible, and now all the females look overtly sexualized for some god knows why reason. Oh and yes they do all look the same. Lord help you little goblins.
I compared the male new and old faces because that's what I've played.When comparing the old and new faces, it seems like the sharpness, the angles which were very defining features and lent personality to the goblins, are now rounded and smoother and wider. I always liked the angular, sharpness of their jaws, eyebrows, cheekbones etc. Also, the moody look is gone. I liked how the original models had one eyebrow ridge slightly lower than the other, it lent to the moodiness or grumpiness of the goblin personality, or possibly sleep-deprived from nights of inventing, of kaja-cola parties or simply wise to the tricks of the trade and therefore quizzically scanning the person or place for a place to make a few gold. The new faces don't seem to have those cool character-defining features.
Looks like that the new goblin models are not as light as the former models. We cannot observe their face as easily as before. I prefer the old models for the other races generally speaking, gotta have the same opinion for goblins. Only reason they "updated" the models is because of the outcry of some saying models were "old". Now all are ugly, so gg. On the plus side, nice new looking eyes, they are no more red but thumbs up.
They look all the same and they all have the same eye colour... Guess I will be deleting all my Goblins now :(The females look like wannabe Blood Elves in the face - I absolutely HATE it. And the males also look botox:y... I want my Goblins to look like Goblins - not metrosexual models -.-'
What the bloody hell happened to my notched ear? ? I liked all the improved models except for these and the worgen. Just... yeesh. I agree with snugdreamer. All my gobbo males look too soft and pretty now, not all scurvy and ruthless like they used to. Female goblins always looked like they had plastic surgery... now it's just unappealing. :(
Come on, whats wromng with faces? They are all same! Blizzard you have to fix this
Agreed. Males now look much worse with those cartoon eyes, females look okay but still cartoon af
