It's more than just skyborne. All the datamined raid tiers, weapons, creature models, mopunts etc. look like they came from retail

>>748278572
In that specific case i blame them being retarded with extending class access to all races to the point where they have to actually create a manbearowlpig thing for a race which didn't need druids because their schtick was magic.
Already even in vanilla tauren druids were an asspull, just like undead priests and many other things they've chosen to include in the game for faction balance and gameplay reasons and the more they stray from the RTS's lore the more their game won't have an actual story and game world for players to immerse themselves in.

I really can not wrap my head around why Blizzard absolutely refuses to accept what people like about Classic WoW. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to release 2019 and have been openly vindictive about the original devs. Not comprehending the original art style is baffling since it would be far easier to make flat texture models and painted on armor so they can allocate manpower into other things. Sky elves are the final fuck you. I highly expect Forever will just become retail within a year or two.

I've been saying this since forever but Trolls really should have been the druid race. They fucking turn into animals in every single Troll raid.

It's crazy how some of these stupid fucks are so brainwashed they try to attack turtle when it was the best version of WoW ever created.
Also the narrative being pushed, when retail, classic, and forever are the tranny faggot versions run by nu blizzard soi devs who censor painting, add body type 1/2, and literally features official in-game pride parades.

>>748284932
One was made by old school RPG nerds that loved metal and were fairly talented, the other is made by people the type of Californians that turned D&D is in to quirk chungus slop it is today, so the storytelling, art direction, tonality and ethos completely clash with each other.

They really need to fix the sky elf models, the forms look so out of place.
If they're too lazy to really make them fit artistically they should just make is people can disable skyelfs like you can transmog.
make them appear like vanilla high elves but make the skins blue and just make the forms whatever defaults for the faction.

The old style is stylized but still retains a realistic foundation. It's ultimately a horse depicted in a cartoony way. The new style exaggerates the stylization and pushes the aesthetic closer to toys or miniature figures. It could just as well be a plastic model in a children's toy catalogue

This. I thought I could handle it but after 2 hours playing on the atrocious retail client with jank "classic" models that don't look right and anti-soul gas, I uninstalled the game got a refund.

Forever is in a nasty middle ground right now where its far more like classic than the naysayers care to admit, but it has several 'retailbrain' decisions and additions that are made even more jarring by their introduction.

There are several new systems brought in that are pretty cool (Camps and Mage Scrolls), some that could have serious long term consequences (profession overhaul leading to character power creep) and some that just don't really matter despite how often they're discussed (the lighting and water effects).

There are hints of exciting possibility (Mage scrolls leading to the discovery of a spell power BOP 2hander) and then there are...well...the Skiggers.

The Skiggers have the same problem as Forever in general. They ALMOST fit in lorewise. They've got good foundations. Shendralar escapees into the Skywall. Mutated much like how the Dark Irons were by exposure to Fire Elementals. Cults to the mysterious and strange 'Al'akir' of whom they've never seen or met but they know is just lurking out there in the endless skies. But they're just too...clean. Too pixar, like retail. So theres this reflexive hatred of them which is perfectly valid and easily fixable, but they won't. So the skiggers will stick out like a sore thumb.
>>
>turtle died for this

will I enjoy this if I've never played wow before?

What the fuck is even WoW forever? Classic WoW with new graphics?
>>
>>748288335
And some retail elements
>>
wow forever making pserver thurd worlders seethe for weeks is so funny
>>
>>748288280
Yes.
In the end its just classic with some additions that range from pretty good to annoying, but IMO they're not deal breakers. The bones are still there. Its still the same game people have been pining over for 20 odd years. Just with skiggers.
>>
they should put it on steam desu

>>748288335
Some new graphics, some ported over retail systems and some new original systems made specifically for Forever.

>>748288335

they should add playable feral dragons

>>748288335
Retail WoW capped at lv60 with a "classic models" toggle that only reverts a handful of models to classic style.
>>
>>748282215
Yeah it's weird as all hell when normalfags seem to pretend that every original Warcraft dev is still working at Blizzard and is working on current WoW.
Forever was made by the same literal newfags who replaced paintings with women for fruit and added transsexual trees, among other things. The term is "officially-licensed fanfiction".
>>
You people will never be happy until they release WoW: Untouched. Where it's just vanilla and just vanilla graphics and just vanilla dungeons and vanilla raids and vanilla gear and never expand on any part of it ever, like if that first iteration was somehow perfect and they got it on the first try (it's not, your blinded by nostalgia), and you can create NPC characters that look and play themselves like your old dead friends you used to play this game with. Just stagnant and old and boring and never looking like 2005 ever happened. You want a version of WoW that is just like your mom's basement.
