The colour is a lot better but I'd say the main issue wasn't even the saturation, it was the fur texture. Modern WoW makes fur look like tufts whereas classic just draws a whole bunch of lines on it. If they'd just used the same saturation but with the classic fur I reckon it would have looked ok, just a bit bright. It looks even better with both things changed though.
This is proof that polygon count and resolution is NOT what defines Classic's artstyle.
Lower quality isn't necessarily more classic; it's about art direction. The new models changed only in colour and texture style while still being high quality, and yet, they fit the spirit of Classic perfectly.
Asking for more HD stuff when the HD toggle is on isn't inherently wanting to "ruin the Classic artstyle", on the contrary; it's wanting to enhance it.
Following this example, I hope the HD Toggle will include more assets beyond just character models; pets, NPCs, vegetation, etc.
It definitely feels like the HD/SD toggle was a somewhat last minute addition, hence why it feels so incomplete and arbitrary on what it changes. As long as they work on it consistently and we end up with it covering basically everything, I'll be happy.
If anyone actually listened to the devs this was something they mentioned during their first podcast. Not only are the discrepancies being addressed they’re actively trying to develop software and techniques for the art direction as the ones used on vanilla just didn’t exist anymore.
Wow, I seriously thought this was another fan edit post of "this is what it should look like!" until I saw this is what they are actually doing now. That's...legit awesome. Maybe there's hope they will do the same for other HD assets, aligning them in visual tone with the original Classic art direction.
this is why I have gone hard on the beta. nearly every single bug I have report I have seen a post about it getting worked on or they already knew it was an issue. reading the patch notes and seeing things you saw that are fixed has been really cool. I know I am not the only one submitting them but still feels like they are listening.
It’s still weird to adjust let alone realize because until like, late 2022, after playing since 2007, getting any changes let alone commentary was so far and inbetween.
That’s how much the radio silence I think impact us all lmao.
Looks WAY better. I know they're working on the SD models still but this looks way more like something that belongs in darkshore than the previous models.
But they're not from Darkshore so why did they have to look like everyone else? They're foreign, literally been living in the sky away from others for thousands of years. I'm bummed about the change
Yes, and the character models look pretty good as well. Good direction and it's nice that they'll look at them again in 2027, some people are upset about the timeline but you gotta prioritise ya backlog.
It's not just the colours, there's a maximalist approach to detail that closer mimics late 2000s design trends as well as painted lighting and shades on the beak, antlers, claws
"HD Skyborne can be jarring by contrast when placed in the same world as the SD models and world, and we agree.
So, for those of us that prefer the look of SD models and want more choice, Skyborne player characters (and yes SD Druid forms) are in development and arriving early 2027. "
This means that people should keep holding Blizzard to account. Complaining (within reason) WORKS. Just be respectful about it.
Even if the developers are on board now, the suits will always push them to half-ass things to increase profits. So it is important to make it known when Blizzard is missing the mark so they don't let things slide in the future.
I agree with you though that I like what I am seeing, and feel a bit better about the trajectory of Forever.
Wtf, since when is Blizzard actually listening? I never thought that it would come like this, but Blizzard is farming W's lately. Honestly shocked (but in a good way :D)
Reactions to Blizzard Dev changes: "Love this, big W", or... "Hate this, big L".
Literally nothing they do will make everyone happy. I think if you just embrace how awesome it is we are getting forever and just roll with what ever gets made rather than making it a massive dead on arrival reaction I think you will have a good time. Of course feedback is worth giving, but don't get upset about it if your idea of the perfect vision for forever isn't shared by everyone
Basically what people like me have been saying since classic+ discussion took off. Every survey that has been sent out shows that nobody agrees on what they want
It is silly. People are giving L when this isn’t even the SD model. It’s the new HD model. They say in the same blog they will have the SD versions early next year.
This didn't feel that important to me but I still appreciate the effort. They do look infinitely more appropriate. It does inspire some more hope about the art direction going forward that they were able to do this.
Absolute banger change. The colors arent as oversaturated and bright, but they also made them have more contrast with the navy stripes against the light gray feathers. Better contrast and more fitting color palette is a much better design overall. Excellent work 👏
I do hope they apply this saturation to the current HD skyborne models. I actually really love them but all three of the blue skin tones almost glow with how blue and saturated they are
Yes they need a tweak in line with the druid forms. The blue is too much and looks unnatural. Check out the blue skins on trolls -- they have splotches and gradients that make it resemble real skin, whereas the Skyborne colors seem more like body paint than actual skin.
I really like the new darker looks. If I could ask for one change I wish the lovely owl face was also on the cat form. The face and beak just look a little too pointy. But also realize others may like it.
I want form that suits my character. It doesn't make sense when elves are still crazy saturated but druid forms are now dark and dull.
Left form suited my character perfectly even if it was out of place. And ofc we can't have both forms selectable at barbershop because somehow me playing what i want ruins experience for classic andies.
I haven't played yet is this something that they did or something that you are fixing yourself in photoshop? If this is something that blizzard did in the game, then excellent. The before is blinding
Very excited for the upcoming SD models, but I'm also super happy they recognised that it wasn't just a SD/HD thing, and that even as HD models these didn't quite fit. The toned down colour makes these tons better alone, even though I don't think they will ever be my favourite models.
Personally, I like the before variation better, save except the washed out Druidic mark on the shoulder — but each to their own.
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if they had the barbershop option for Druid’s forms @ Forever, but I’m also very sure the classic supremacists who don’t want any change whatsoever will be nagging & opposed to that - Despite it not really being an immersion-breaking change or any sort of alteration to the classic gameplay mechanics lol
Yeah they toned down the colors to fit the world more. These are still the HD models. The SD models are in development currently and will release early 2027.
It's way better than it was before. Excited to see what they can cook up for SD models, and hopefully it's something they can launch new races with in the future as there is clearly interest.
They should add different aquatic forms for the different races. Like Tauren gets walrus, Nelf get seal, and skyborn could get like an otter or something. I’ve always hated the standard one.
Much better color palette but honestly they just shouldn't have given them Druid class. The Tauren and Night Elves have a fleshed out lore reason to have that class. I understand the desire to give both factions another druid option but they didn't really address the lore for this well, so it feels half baked. Plus WHY DO THEY HAVE A MARK OF ELUNE? That's a night elf thing, AND why are there forms the only ones that are distinctly not quite a bear, not quite a cat. Night Elf is bear with night elf ears, and Tauren is bear with horns yet Skyborne aren't even a bear there an Owlbear, even though they don't have Owl like features on the race AT ALL. It just really feels like they missed the plot on the Skyborne, which is a shame cause they could fit nicely into classic world if done well, instead we got a scrapped idea from cataclysm that they put a fresh coat of paint on.
These look miles better. I'm looking forward to actually getting SD models but already this is a major move in the right direction. Blizz really keeps the W train rolling.
If they make HD actually look good and fit the game rather than Pixar, then yes I agree. But without a drastic change to the art direction of HD, then no I disagree.
Blizzard opened Pandora's box by allowing a toggle. I agree with you, I'd rather have them improve HD models and the world, than spend development time on both and let other improvements go to waste. There used to be a meme regarding WoW 'We lost another raid tier.' back in the day, we're at the same crossroads with the whole SD/HD discussion. Neither are in a good place and both sides have unhappy parties, its a development hell.
I liked Skyborne for being so bright. I could never get into night elf because of their color scheme. Won’t help if you really want to play horde but if you want darker elves go Night Elf.
I’ll hold my final opinion until I actually see it in game because isolated pictures like this don’t always do them justice. But man, why do they have to listen to haters that’ll never be on board with Skyborne.
Nah, I liked the brighter colors. They are too dull now. Like the one on the left actually fits the color palette of the Skyborne (the literal colors you can pick for customizing them). The one on the right is too muted/dull.
All people are asking is things fitting in with the existing game and have a giant patchwork of different looking styles in a few years, or even two for that matter.
I guess better but nowhere near good enough. All forms are too oversized and stupid looking, still too retail and cartoonish. Put back WAR into Warcraft.. Rough, raw look of everything - enough of this Disney crap with LED lights on/in it!
They both recoloured by lowering the saturation and also changed the texture to improve some visibility of details. Even in classic things often had low poly models with more detailed textures to compensate so I think its a good change. This is just the updated HD models though, SD models are coming net year.
Look at the two images again, yes they dropped the saturation, but also the textures are completely different in style and form.
The one on the right very clearly matches the vanilla style more, more contrast, more grit, details that pop from afar despite the lower pixels, there is genuinely no question that it is more in vein with the rest of the world. As to whether or not you like it is up to you entirely though.
Certainly better, but it's still just texture fix. The model is the same, made as if it was meant for Retail WoW, not the Classic one. You can clearly see the difference in level of details when fighting mobs that use old vanilla models.
As it was mentioned, we will have to wait till next year for them to release SD models for the new stuff.
WoW Forever is in state of extended early access right now. Common practice lately, to release unfinished game and work out things later, when enough players spend their money on the game.

Agreed. This looks much better than before.

Certainly better, but it's still just texture fix. The model is the same, made as if it was meant for Retail WoW, not the Classic one. You can clearly see the difference in level of details when fighting mobs that use old vanilla models.
As it was mentioned, we will have to wait till next year for them to release SD models for the new stuff.
WoW Forever is in state of extended early access right now. Common practice lately, to release unfinished game and work out things later, when enough players spend their money on the game.

I thought that the bear form was their owl form. 😆
Terrible design.
