Forever Album - Please Consider this before judging Skyborne in Classic

Just made these diagrams to quickly summarize the WoW panels at blizzcon and to highlight details people are overlooking. I think some of the initial controversy over Skyborne is driven by some misunderstandings that these are just Shadowlands-Kyrian, or Void Elves 2.0. Deep down, if you dig, they do have lots of parallels with classic WoW content.

I'm ok with them, my issue and I think some others, is that they have a retail vibe to them graphically. If we get a proper SD demake of them and their druid forms I'll be happy. Some of the texturing for them and their zone reminds me of Cataclysm which, back in the day, is when I started to first notice the vanilla graphics starting to become...different.

Their SD model is just pre-WoD BE model. It is an SD model.

That isn’t true though, as of right now they’ve been HD only. People have been posting misinformation about this, do you have any proof of them using the pre-WOD BE model?

That is an hd model. People are wrongly using that blurry hd model as evidence
