If you’re leveling correctly (as in doing the entirety of dun morogh and elwynn at the same time) then you can solo hogger with every class because you’ll be lvl 13-14 by the time you kill him.

Inexperience.

You can always judge art by its lighting, did the artist capture light correctly. Look at the tips of old hoggers hair, its bright white (like a hyena can actually get), the new version lost that detail. And look at his copper shoulder plate, its become matte in the new version. Nearly every detail is lacking in contrast and that's the outcome of a bad artist not understanding how to do art well.

Here are the ones I read:
Of Blood and Honor: As Metzen himself later described it: "while written at an 8tth grade level :P"(sic), very sloppy but it has soul. So like his drawings in the manuals.

Lord of the Clans: Quite good, and makes you expect more from the authoress Christie Golden, unfortunately

Day of the Dragon, War of the Ancients trilogy: Knaak slop. Reads like how it feels to eat cardboard

Cycle of Hatred: Many people hate it, it has a lot of weirdness and I think a lot depends on how American politics-brained you are. Unusual for a Warcraft book, but I didn't hate it.

Rise of the Horde: Decent, but starts showing Golden's one-trick pony nature.

Arthas: Mega slop. Just full of stupid shit. Starts getting really awful once it gets to the WC3 events. A very bad showing from Golden

The Shattering: Golden is probably just relaying the plot points Blizzard made, but goofy nevertheless. Not as bas as Arthas, but she's still in hack mode. Bizarre introspective feminist rant from Thrall near the end. (Christie Golden later quipped that Thrall is an example of 'non-toxic masculinity', whatever that means)

Another major issue is that the artists who did these seem to have never seen a Hyena in their lives or have some sort of furfag latent bias against them, preferring a more "Wolf like" appearance.

Hyenas aren't dogs if you take more than 10 seconds to look at their anatomy, they're actually closer to cats. They have big-cat esque cheek bones that these nu-models completely ignore.
Any dog like similarities such as their lengths and gate are purely convergent.

In fact a hyena has more anatomical face similarities with civets (another cat relative mammal) than fucking canines.

This is just pure furfaggotry, they all boil down to wanting to fuck cereal mascot dogs
>>
>>726087048
The furry influence is very visible and ironically, as a furry, I still prefere left because it is more animalistic and beastlike while right is more human. And the early 2000s PC game aesthetic is quite nice too. It gives me Morrowind vibes.

Exactly. While the older knoll designs weren't 100% accurate to spotted hyenas either, you could still unquestionably recognize them as snarling hyena men.

Probably just a used truck, the family decals/stickers being from the previous owner

Maybe the scalie faggot thought it would be amusing to leave the residue from the family decal in tact rather than totally removing it, and placing the BD decal near the family decal

Not that it's particularly relevant but I have known hard working, competent, family men caught sodomizing themselves with dildos

There are no alternate realities. This is the only reality. Every action after the first atom rushed into existence triggered a predictable series of events which have led to our reality 13 billion years later. All that has happened and will happen, is happening according to what can happen as a result of what has happened. What is is all that is, and all that can be according to the laws of time and matter.

People in this thread seem to think this is trying to appeal to furries but it most assuredly is just trying to appeal to women, the source of all woes in gaming
