Decades of WoW and never heard anyone complain much about the HD models until Forever came out and now suddenly they're literally the worst thing ever apparently.

Have you been living under a rock or something? I fairly regularly saw posts about people hating on retail's art style on here...

You clearly never played during WoD then.

There was definitely a VERY mixed reaction to the WoD models. Plus many classic players noped out before that anyway

We complained about them when they were announced as well. Blizzard went "lol too bad" and forced them down our throats anyways.

Lol yeah I remember in WoD we could toggle them off and Legion just made that button disappear

There were complaints back when they were originally introduced but it was more feedback on nuanced stuff like how animations felt very different because they were actually changed in some ways or how specific things looked compared to their actual 1:1 old counterpart.

Nothing like what you see on this sub where people pretend like the sd models are just outright better and the hd models look irredeemably awful even though the hd model is clearly an upgrade.

You’re trying to say that two completely different situations should’ve produced the same result.

If you love the HD models so much then idk why you’re so upset. You got what you wanted. The problem is that your hideous HD models are bleeding into the SD option, not the other way around.

We didn't get what we wanted. The HD models are missing over half of their customization options because we are being held back by the SD toggle with no equivalents.

Google wod model release and also those who don’t like the new models quit retail and stuck with era or anniversary or classic
