Ghostcrawler köpött! Rendszeresen felmerül a kérdés a játékosok részéről, hogy vajon mikor fogja a Blizzard update-elni a régi karaktermodelleket? A válasz még mindig az, hogy a grafikusok rajta vannak a feladaton, és először a törpöket, utánuk pedig az orkokat és az embereket fogják egy kicsit kipofozni, ezek után jöhet a többi. Nagy gonddal kell eljárniuk, hisz a játékosok nagyon érzékenyek, modernnek, de mégis klasszikusnak kell lenniük az új modelleknek. Időpont természetesen nincs, de a feladat elsőrendű prioritást élvez.

buffed: Since we only have time for one more question we’re going to ask about something that a lot of our readers would like to hear more about. Are there any news on the remodelling of the older character models?

Street: It is definitely something we want to do. It is something the artists are actively working on. It takes a long time and we have to be very careful about it because we don’t want players to log in and say “wait, this doesn’t look like my character anymore, you totally changed it”. We know players will freak out if characters look too different. So we’re trying to capture the feel and the look of the Warcraft characters that players have come to love while still updating them to the graphic fidelity of something like the Pandaren. There’s no timetable, but it’s absolutely a priority.

Is it still Dwarves or are other races already being worked on as well?

Street: They’ve been working on the Dwarves and then the Humans and Orcs. We feel that if we can do the Humans and Orcs we can probably do all the races. It may not be the kind of thing where we turn them all on at once — it may be a gradual rollout. It just depends on how long it takes.

buffed: Then we will hope that we get to see them during the Mists of Pandaria era.

Street: We’ll just have to see.
