I remember when World of Warcraft was a pretty serious looking game, orcs, humans, so badass looking and whole theme of war. Then they started teasing other races like pandas and stuff like that. The artwork and cinematics for pandas look really badass, same thing with Worgen. Super badass looking wolves and stuff like that. But now, everything looks so clowny and ridiculous. For example, look at this picture of a dracthyr evoker. It looks like such a meme, so damn goofy, and really not in a good way either. It just looks awful. Why does it look so goofy now? Like is this intentional, or they just gave up on development and the gut of the art team? I really don’t understand
You and I must have played different versions of BC, because I remember people running around like they fell out of bags of Skittles with their armor, silly transformations (Noggenfogger, anyone?), and other goofy things. WoW has always had a healthy dose whimsy (both intentional and not) mixed in.
Pandas looking badass and Dracthyr not is purely subjective.
I think you have rose-tinted glasses on, friend.
