Which one is which? I have scrolled through this entire thread and nobody has said. Genuinely cant tell because they both look bad

You can view both on wowhead. Left is Forever, Right is Classic

Forever:

Classic:

Select Dwarf and you can see the difference. This only happens to Dwarf

and it looks like this for Troll. Left is Forever, Right is Classic.

My first ever wow character was a troll warrior in classic. I remember the HUGE disappointment that my 10 year old self had when I realized that helms did not fit properly. Absolutely hated it.

What about the lopsided shoulders?

u/Just-Holiday-5016 12d ago

I agree with both sentiments, but it's also what makes trolls trolls. rock that mohawk out! carry the biggest spear! Tazdingo mon

Okay, tusk clipping aside, I do like the Forever version more in this case.

u/Jarliks 13d ago

honestly, just a dark drop shadow where the tusks clip would be enough to communicate that there's supposed to be holes for em. Even if they still don't make a lot of sense, it would feel intentional.

u/IDownvotedYouToday 13d ago

I think that's a more challenging task than you think, but yeah, it would be nice

In this case honestly tusk clipping is actually cool for me

I don't understand why they made darkspear trolls like this tbh. They look super cool in cinematics and promo arts. Super dissapointing in the game tho. Helmets don't fit, shoulders are weird, boots don't show when worn, and on top of all look like malnourished junkies. I hope they give us forest trolls with new models instead of a recolor in the future as a race

u/Wise-Climate-3533 9d ago

Well the left not being the SD model is a bit of an unfair comparison

That forever troll model looks terrible, but the helmet looks better than on the right.

u/Jango2106 13d ago

And only for Male Dwarf. Im guessing its 100% a bug and something weird happened to the models

u/Vincent_Felix 13d ago

Yeah looks like they are using the human helm model to me. Probably a bug.

u/CommanderHavond 13d ago

There is a possibility it could be intentional. If it's playing nice with the nose AND beards. So many helmets in wow drive me up the wall because the noses clip through or the beard vanishes entirely.

Retail skeleton

u/morbliss 13d ago

Yah the forever graphics look like stretch Armstrong toys. It’s a good reminder we playing a 20+ year old kids game.

u/NuklearFerret 13d ago

The problem with forever's model isn't the helmet, it's the beardless dwarf. I kind of dig the extra space to show off the magnificence of your facial fur, but the model doesn't have any. Shameful!

Of course its body type 1 in the new version
