As many WoW players know,  before MoP was released, Blizzard announced that they were working  on new and graphically upgraded character models for the old races.

Close to MoP ´s release, they claimed they had the Dwarven models almost done and were starting with the Human and orc ones.

Well,  yesterday they confessed in the US forums, that such thing is not true, that what they said previously was a "misscomunication" and that  they plan to make the new models "sometime in the future" ( they said this in TBC) but that it would require a lot of time and people to do, so it won´t happen anytime soon.

They also confessed it is not true the models the claimed were ready are ready at all, and that they did not even really start on it.

I do not mind content or features being pushed to a later date in favor of different ones, but being downright lied in the face to hype an expansion and then being told it was just a case of "misscommunication" is insulting.

Really do not care. They can do them or not. I woukd rather they just work on content.

The fact you do not care for this particular feature does not make it ok for Blizzard to lie about it to it´s playerbase.

It´s not the fact they pushed it back but the fact they lied, that is wrong.

Oh oh. They broke a commandment. Looks like Blizzard is going to Hell.

Big companies tend to have a lot of miscomunnications. So long as they admitt their mistake works for me.

Yeah, only that this wasn´t any sort of "misscommunication" as there was a lot of talk about the new models, and simply a downright lie to hype MoP with more "features" which they never actually worked on.

You know, like the famous "Dance Studio" announced both in TBC and WOTLK.

got a link?

First question.

What I got from the video is that they are working on them, albeit slowly (which is to be expected).

They will just wait for the next expansion to have new player models as a huge freaking "new" feature, they propably have even remade the models on schedule but pulled this stunt off after realizing it will be an awesome selling point on the next xpac. It's not like they dont have the resources to do this at any given time they want to.

I can already see the trailer of the next xpansion *DUMDUMDUDUUMAWESOME MUSIC* + *DEATHWING VOICE: (OMG) NEW PLAYER MODELS!!11* meanwhile some remade human and orc model doing funky combat animations on the middle of the screen and a couple of nelf chicks rubbing their... dancing on the back with their new bustier bewbs generating some extra fappage, everyone going http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_S5cXbXe-4

Diaymn!

Yeah, an MMO without a dance studio is just for kids. Give us our dance studio.

I'm happy you found yet another thing to hold against WoW, while millions of us enjoy playing it caring so, oh so very little.

Besides, when do you ever see your character model... As far as i'm concerned, my char model is "updated" anytime I change my gear. And my chars look 100x better (technically) since vanilla - the detail / texture resolutions / polycounts in new gear is leaps and bounds more than back then.

Where is this post on US forums you speak of? I looked at the blue tracker and such post does not exists!

I think the only liar here is you.
