To be fair from those two pictures it doesn't look too predominant. The second one looks like some blurr of teeth. And for the first one imo looks like human teeth, you have a canine tooth as well.

I like the fangs. Night Elves are supposed to be a little feral, this definately helps.

It's too bad about the inherent schizophrenia in the female model, however. It's hard to take the 'proud amazon woman' half seriously when the other half is of the 'energetic fairy cheerleader' kind. Have you seen the idle boob-jiggles and the /applaud and /cheer animations? Yeech.

I like the 'energetic fairy cheerleader' archetype though. But maaaaybe Night Elves weren't the right race for it. Rolling Eyes

New race confirmed: Bright Elves!

The /clap and /cheer animations are definately too much, but I actually like the boob-jiggle jumping-in-place animation, because it conveys "energetic and wild" without looking too silly. Also the /nod animation makes absolutely no sense. It's REALLY overenthusiastic.

Nothing says yes like a nodding night elf. The moment you play a serious and grim nelf and type /nod though..

It's enough to condition you to type "/e nods." rather than "/nod" just to be on the safe side, even on other characters.

Djego likes the cheery chearleader part, since as the song goes

'PreTbcTrogdorSpoof'':

Well, that's the thing. For some characters, those animations are great. For others, not so much. In themselves, these animations are fine and do not need changing. It's there being such a stark contrast in character between different animations of the same model that gets to me. It lacks cohesion. Compare that to the animations of, say, the pandaren male, which is in perfect harmony, and it becomes especially jarring.

by **Littlepip** Wed May 14, 2014 9:56 am

Well I for once can say that I can't wait to see what these new animations and looks on the characters are going to create in the community, I can already imagine all the fan art, videos, movies and the por-... Umh, yeah, lets not talk about that.

Nothing is worse then playing a nelf DK, all serious and cold, then you do /nod.

Ruins everything, rofl.

Male fang size of the old model is even larger then the female ones:

LOL! Never truly looked close on the characters before, had no idea they looked that bad.

Nelf fangs are great!

Artcraft - Cosmetic Class Accessories
An Artcraft blog went up on the french official website, Blizzard posted a couple of concepts of cosmetic-only accessories for some of the classes.

These cosmetic items will probably make it into the game after the release of Warlords of Draenor.
The concepts are for the moment Alliance-only but will be differentiated for each faction if Blizzard decides it's the best way to go.
These ideas could apply to every class; for example Rogues could decide to equip cosmetic daggers or vials of poison.
This is only a first concept and the dev team is still actively working on the idea.

Link to the article in le engrish!

Looks very interesting, although I hope we get to have the more blander ones, say the level 10 book on my Paladin? she ain't fancy.

Artcraft is now live on European website, too!

I shit you not: when I saw the cosmetic accessories, I flew out of my chair with happiness!

by **Gesh** Tue May 20, 2014 5:21 pm

It's basically the trophy system from Warhammer Online.. but I'm really not complaining! I loved it UwU

by **Zinkle Figgins** Tue May 20, 2014 5:38 pm

Playing TF2 I realized how much money people are willing to spend just for cosmetic/collectable items, Blizzard should definitely follow this path

by **Gesh** Tue May 20, 2014 6:00 pm

I really hope they don't end up as another cash shop item, It should be through achievements!

“We envision that class accessories will be rewarded from a variety of accomplishments in World of Warcraft. These could be as simple as attaining a new level, or as monumental as conquering a vicious raid boss. We want each player to have access to multiple accessories, but have some rarer accessories that take more effort to obtain.”
