It pretty much confirms my assumptions about elves all along. But yeah, the male elves have no ass or junk. Maybe it makes it easier to dodge animation problems but it still looks weird.CrystalShadow said:
Looks pretty good. I wondered how they were going to go about updating the blood elf model since, by design they're already kinda smooth and featureless when compared to the other Horde races.
While I admit I'd have preferred the Forsaken models to look a little more stylized I'm still landing on the positive side for all of the Horde model updates. The Orcs and Tauren look amazing and the Trolls and Forsaken got a lot of good little graphical updates to make them stand out a bit more.
I haven't paid much attention to the Alliace updates other than the Draenei (which looks better than I expected). I'm sure the Regular, Small and Fun Size human models are fine, as are the blue humans.

That's a good point actually. There are those who complain about WOW and play it and those who complain about WOW and don't play. WOW seems to just create drama by existing. Ahaha.
I played WoW upto and including Cata and generally enjoyed myself. But eventually I found that it had become overly easy. I was a casual player who couldn't PVP for shit. The changes they made meant that my OP druid could beat anyone with ease. If someone like me could win at PVP there was something drastically wrong with the balance. What turned me off the most was the fact that it had become 'easymode'. As far as I'm concerned, casual players shouldn't be able to get the best gear. By the time I quit, everyone was wearing the exact same top tier gear which was stupidly easy to get.
That said, I still have a fond spot for the game. I don't know if they've rebalanced the game to make it less 'easymode'. I hope they have.
I'm still kinda hoping Undead will get a bunch more features... I want one where one eye is just a big socket in the skull, stuff like that. There's so much variety you can do with a race of basically-zombies but all we get is a few varieties of jawbone? Boring.Diddy_Mao said:
As for this update, I like it. The male no longer has bizarre looking back muscles and a lack of nipples, the female is no longer as scrawny looking. The new models are generally quite nice hordeside. Male trolls are a bit weird lookin, but then they always were. Alliance didn't get it so good, Male humans, female nelfs or draenei... that's it. I don't want to play anything else. Even the female nelfs are borderline, their new run animations are really weird.
The rest of the warcraft males have that shit covered. Just let me have this. I know it's gratuitous and totally not what the manly men want to see but let me have this one!J Tyran said:
Sides the only time they're gonna look like this is when creeps are ERPing in silvermoon.
I think this is dreadfully insensitive and offensive, they are casually stripping that male character of one his main sexual attributes. A mans penis is psychologically important, thousands of men each year have to have a full penectomy due to penile cancer, serious groin injury and serious infections.CrystalShadow said:
For many of them it takes years of therapy to come to terms with it as it cause immense psychological damage, yet here Blizzard are casually displaying an objectified male character that obviously lacks a penis. There is no way to know if any men that have suffered a penile amputation and saw this and its undone their therapy.
The you have the men that have suffer genital mutilation by abuse partners, men have had their penises cut off or mutilated. Now we already know that some women find this dreadful abuse hilariously amusing:-
Yet here are game designers casually emasculating their characters, spreading the attitude that its fine to remove a mans penis, even in art. Its insidious and harmful, if anyone doesn't think it is harmful and disagree with me they are obviously already seriously affected by this insidious idea thats becoming culturally accepted.
Attitudes like this are spreading a culture where male genital mutilation is acceptable or goes unnoticed.
... Well, if it's all elves, I guess you can at least give them credit for consistency... But... Wow... XDrofltehcat said:
Please tell me there is quest in WoW that reveals this amazing piece of trivia.LostGryphon said:Little Known Fact: Male Blood Elf genitalia, much like some Earth animals, is internal and operates via sheathe.CrystalShadow said:
There MUST be.
Captcha: half inch
Dammit, stop making fun of blood elves!
Bhahahaha.... >_<LostGryphon said:Little Known Fact: Male Blood Elf genitalia, much like some Earth animals, is internal and operates via sheathe.CrystalShadow said:
That was... Priceless... XD
Another little known (or glossed over) fact regarding male genitalia;
There are types known as Growers and Showers.
Meaning that size is not always constant and wildly varies with time, temperature, stimuli and need for relief.
Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine but almost everywhere in books,movies, tv series and games I see guys being belittled for having a small package when not aroused.
Despite the fact that having a small package in such a state is much more advantageous than the opposite.
Just because it's small does not mean it wont get much bigger.
Looking at the picture though, it seem ..rather empty.

I just find it bizzare that the main focus of this thread is on the male elf's crotch. Yeah it's a bit flat, it's a cartoon character. It's always going to be covered in giant spiky armour anyway, who gives a shit?
Although it would be funny if in upcoming patch notes Blizzard were made to state that they have 'adjusted the Blood Elf male groin size'.
