live versions look better/more realistic. dunno what their intention/thought process was with betas appearances.
Old version looks better? Could u show me a bear in life thats butt and head lives a different life? The old version was bad from the start... like the beginning of the bear and the end of the bear lived a different life. This is WAAAAYYYYY better! GJ! But why do we have to waited 12+ years for it....

Currently it looks like an overly huge mole.
Have You looked a bit at real life bears?

Hmmmm the alpha version looks more realistic, but also clips more. The live version is more exaggerated in good ways. I'm liking less butt-in-the-air, but disliking how rigid it looks, basically. Animation HAS to be exaggerated, so I hope they tweak it a little to bring more liveliness to the alpha version .w.

On the contrary, a real bear's leg lengths appear about the same when on all fours which would leave their body more horizontal leaving only the head with a tendency to drop down a bit. The new model is much closer to a living bear than the old model with it's stumpy, bent front legs, and it's butt up in the air like it was a cat about to pounce.
This. So much this. I've been telling my friends about the bear leg length thing for years.

Finally after all these years my druid will not have the bear butt higher than her shoulder blades. I cannot wait when this goes live.

I like the "live" form better, I think they dont need an update. It is more important to update the Goblins and Worgen!

Man, there are a lot of people on this thread who've never seen a bear before.

Beta idle animation looks way less "lively", the rest are pretty nice!

horrible like the new direct orcs, completely non-natural movements
Have you ever seen a bear? Take a look:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear
New ones are 10^100 times more realistic (though it should have a neck)
New direct orcs....he says... check out warcraft I-III + frozen throne + all the cinematic animation..u wont see a hunched orc there... one of the best examples when MoP came out and Nazgrim talks to the warchif... even there the orc is no hunched... DOH!. When wow started the hunched stupid ape orcs were the new direct...wich was were and will be bad... this is aint that game. Warhammer online is..wich is no more... and yeah the new bear animation upper torso and ass wont live a different life anymore.. NO MORE LOW RIDER BEARS! WOOHOOO!

A typical case of fixing something that is not broken and making it worse in the process.
I'm going to miss the old animations when this goes live.

Some people here have clearly never seen a bear irl, these new animations are fantastic

Beta version is so much more realistic

I like what they are trying to do here...but it seems to be done oddly. I think they are trying to make the bear form move and act more bear-like but...it just seems so off but I can't put my finger on it.
The running animation reminds me of a running gorilla, though...very unsettling.

Ever since they updated the bears from the original I have hated that you are looking at a big bear butt sticking up in the air while playing guardian. I like that they are going back to the buff bear look over big butt bear a bit but the animations still need a lot of work to be more fluid. The body totters around like a stiff barrel with legs.

The live bear animations look more realistic and smooth. The beta animations look clumsy, blocky and downright horrible.
