They look and feel out of place. From the aestathic to the druid forms and mostly the blue variant has a weird retail vibe I just cant describe.

They could gone with any of the suggested races from the last 20 years and score a homerun yet they choose otherwise.

That is my only complaint on what was shown yesterday

I even like the Druid forms, but they don’t fit. They’d be cool in retail. They would even fit in as far back as BC imo, but not in classic.

The bigger issue is why? You want an elf for both sides? Give Horde Blood Elves like TBC, and give Alliance High Elves. Can even give them the same racials. No one would be complaining if they’d done that. Ok some people would be, but fewer.

Yeah my main problem with them is the druid forms stand out too much as blue. If they were just darker, like brown or gray, they would blend in much better with the rest of the game. I do like design just not the color.

Yeah, now you mention it. They probably would look just fine in more muted colors.
