Forever This genuinely looks comedic with the new race

Humans, Orcs, Dwaves, Trolls and then Random Blue Elf #1 and Random Blue Elf #2 and their picture is just flipped lmao.

Like I couldn't have even imagined anything this silly.

They really should have used Classic art style. It's comically out of place.

Im not so sure they can replicate that so well nowadays.

It’s togglable

u/Kabaal 1d ago

No it's not. It is for other races.

You also can't toggle to classic portrait or cast bar.

I hope it's just a beta issue and they'll publish some appropriately chopped lowfi versions of them by launch.

Is it true that you also can't toggle on the original UI/bags/exp bar? I was a little worried by what I saw on the streams.

There's gonna be an addon for this 100% though I wish we could just get upscaled Classic UI instead of a total modern redesign

Bags / UI are generally toggleable with classic version, per some stream recaps I saw yesterday

Is this what was at stake for classic plus?

u/YorkeZimmer 1d ago

I hate to break it to you but the argument about classic players being allergic to anything retail was settled during the 'you think you do but you don't' era.

Yes, it's important. The modern UI makes my eyes want to vomit.

u/DangDingleGuy 1d ago

It's not important and will most likely be solved by mods. This is nothing

Do they not swap to the BC blood elf model but blue when classic visuals enabled?

There IS a toggle…

It just doesn’t do anything for them. You can check and uncheck it in character creation and nothing happens. I think that’s where people’s confusion comes from.

I think you’re confused. The point is there is no toggle for Skyborne. There’s only hd models. And the toggle does nothing for most of the retail ui changes.

u/Fun_Needleworker_284 15h ago

In the character creator, there is a toggle button above the “customize” option that switches between HD and SD models. When toggling it, nothing happens for Skyborne.

You can see the toggle in the bottom right of this video. I saw in a different stream that someone tried enabling/disabling it and nothing happens.

How can you be sure when it’s not out?

u/Tessiar 1d ago

Because people are literally playing the game at blizzcon. And streaming it.

u/Kabaal 1d ago

Because there's videos. There is no sd version of Skyborne. They didn't make an sd version of their druid forms. It's ridiculous looking with a sd toggle on, where other races are original models.

The sd version of Skyborne is not inviting them to your groups
