Change to the Belf model

[Nefertem]

Without my knowledge and approval (they usually ask me about everything and my permission berfore doing such things - the warrior nerfs not included :ranting2:)  Blizz have changed the model for the male Belf.. Someone apparently thought the Belf was to skinny and gayish and blizz have now made them bigger and more muscular..

Dunno about you guys, but I kinda liked the skinny model and as the Belf mainly is a non-melee class the skinny look fitted em more imo..

Anyways.. here is a link for comparison: Clicky and one thread on the forums: Clicky

I also bring to ya this quoute from the US forum:

You guys know how decisions like these get made right?

Some executive  %%%!!!@ from vivendi shows up at blizzard's art design department and says  something like, "Hey my fat, ugly child plays WoW and saw some screenshots of  the skinny new blood elves."

"Skinny" in this case meaning: 'smaller and  more muscular than my morbidly obese whale of a son who I keep in the basement  and shovel whoopers into when I get home from a long day telling people what I  don't like about them. I also hire a team of immmigrant workers to wipe his ass,  which they do with strips of industrial carpet that are then incinerated in a  furnance kept at a constant 10,000 degrees by a nuclear reactor I've got on loan  from the Russian government. Ooo-Rah!'

he continues saying "My seaworld  sideshow freak-child instantly found them to be horribly gay! I will not have my  son threatened with images of normal, healthy body types in a video game! Nor  will I allow *!**@@#!@# video game characters to terrify my fearless and  unquestionably masculine child during his escapades through pretend land!!  Change the models at once."

He then drives away in a hovering aircraft  carrier powered by the souls of WW2 vets which he acquired when he purchased a  federal graveyard and paved over it to open a joint septic tank pumping business  / feed the hungry non-profit organization so we can all literally eat his @@%!  as we pour our last pennies into "his" online video game.

Seen it happen  a million times.

Usually I wouldn't mind a 'minor' change like this but I was thinking about rolling a Belf for the Frostbite Cabal TBC aszunite projekt

i dont really think there is a lot of diffrence.
 
They look a little more disproportional now, i liked the old look better

[Nefertem]

Nah the diffence aint big, but I still don't like it.. Anyways.. Might have been written in the 'heat of passion' after reading a lot of the negative responses

I don't like the change, but im sure it won't kill me

[Knabbel]

So they are easier to target......... and better to hit.....

[Nefertem]

Here is two videos.. Can see em myself due to the damn restrictions at work and no internet at home, but I've been told the difference is seen a lot better there: Old(fast forward to the end) vs. new

Er, didn't they beef up the male BE model yonks ago? I recall people moaning about this on the official forumas a good month or so ago, and it got ignored.

[smilodon]

I'm suprised anyone cares that much, Night Elves look like crap, Blood elves looked like crap and steriod-boy Blood elves still look like crap. They don't look as daft as humans I'll give you that but none of them are worth a light. If you don't play Horde where all the cool stuff is then at least have the common sense to roll a dorf or gnomer. :norty:

*Raises ale* Damn straight. My Tauren Shaman rocks! And doesn't look steroided because it's already a damn walking cow not exactly comparable to much in the real world.

[noevra]

[Nefertem]

You've got a looong way to go n00b :norty:

[Umbra]

1) you won't catch bob, he has less life than you Nef
2) yeah people bitched about the BElf models regardless of what was done to them, personally I like em, but then I'm playing a BElf rogue who's so cute ^^
3) Elves in general look great, humans look dull, gnomes and Dorfs really should be in circuses and not out running free to scare the poop out of the rest of us, damn ugly worms.
4) All current horde chars are slightly worse looking than gnomes, just *ew*

@1: /slap
@2: In your case, since you didn't specify, I assume it's a male BElf you're talking about :norty:
