New Orc Running Animation in Patch 8.1

Recommended Posts

37045-dark-iron-dwarf-maghar-orc-allied-

The Orc running animation has been updated on 8.1 PTR and here's a side by side preview of the new animation.

Grandfa made a post about the new Orc animation on the official forums and also posted a short clip comparing both live and 8.1 versions of the running animation. Do you prefer the old or new one?

Check out our Tides of Vengeance hub for the latest Patch 8.1 information!

Glad they did this. As soon as upright went live, I went and changed all my orcs to upright. I immediately hoped for an epic laxative to drop on my next kill lol.   ?

The video doesn't seem to be loading for me. I watch youtube/twitch etc fine with 1080p 60fps. This is also the first video ever in IV that I can't seem to play. I'm in the Netherlands and have a 50/50 Mbit connection in case that matters.

 

Don't keep me in suspense, show me the running animation!

Same problem here

It's probably not working because of your ad blocker. There's a huge ad on the video you have to skip in order to play the video. I have no idea why people use ad blockers - they're loaded with malware.

Because people dont like sudden sounds from an ad (I remember freaking youtube having an ad with sound in the right side of the page), because even "prestigious" pages like Forbes which you can't see with adblock on, gives you a nice little gift as adware. Because for once, users can say "NO" to advertisers, and they are now less intrusive (there are way less pop-ups), if they are, people can just block it.

And because if you have any kind of clue (or a friend which has) of how a computer works, you can dodge the ad blockers with malware (and malware in general).

In short, they are convenient, and you can even whitelist pages that you support.

 

About the video, I'll say: "Neat. Does this change affect the fast running animation?"

Ah okay thanks for the info. I'm not going to start a discussion over why an adblocker might be good or bad as that'd be off topic, but suffice it to say that I'd rather just not watch the running animation over disabling my adblocker.

It's apparently because of the adblocker. I'll skip the video.

I sincerely hope they refine running animations for all races. Dwarves could get a similar treatment to Orcs, since their running animations are similar.

Other races still have some very weird looking running animations, such as Male NElves and Male Worgens, flailing their arms like Goofy.

I've never been bothered by Nelfs, which actually have some of the more refined animations in the game.  Female humans and female BElfs need some attention though.  They're very awkward in several of their motions and not of the same quality as most other racial animations.

im so glad to see blizzard using resources to fix cosmetic nonsense like this instead of fixing the broken and hated systems that are killing this expansion. way to prioritize resources ion, you're doing such a great job. remember when ghostcrawler ran this shit and the game was actually *gasp* good? i guess this is what happens when you hire a lawyer. sigh

Different teams fix different things.

Fixing design / tuning issues can ruin other classes / other systems if not done carefully. Fixing an art issue harms no one.

      Galakrond's head is present in the Patch 10.1.5 megadungeon as an object and it's huge. We're comparing its to the size of Stormwind and Deathwing, thanks to keyboardturn.
      Galakrond's head is an actual model (M2) instead of a world model object (WMO). M2 are standard creature models capable of animations. Galakrond's head is used in one of the Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon boss rooms.

      Here's what the actual in-game model looks like:

      In a series of tweets, dataminer Ellie (keyboardturn) compared the size of Galakrond's head to Stormwind, Deathwing, and Shen-zin Su (The Wandering Isles turtle). You can follow her on Twitter for more interesting Warcraft content!

      Week 3 of Aberrus saw things settle in, as this may be what the rankings will look like until we see some tuning (at least in Heroic). We're also taking a deeper look into Mythic this week, as more guilds have finished up the raid, but the focus is still on Heroic as it's only been 30 guilds that defeated Sarkareth Mythic.
      Heroic
      Overall Damage 95th Percentile
      Arcane has pulled out ahead even more, increasing their DPS by over 10K since last time, but the other specs are also very much improved, as more tier sets come into play (you can read about just why the Mage spec is doing so well here). While Demonology remains in 2nd, Unholy has pushed up into 3rd, and we have yet another Warlock in the top 5 as Affliction skyrockets 6 spots up and pushes Devastation down into 5th. Shadow remains stable as everything changes around it, with the scuffle above and Subtlety falling down below the Priest. Marksmanship breaks into the top 10, pushing the third Warlock spec out, while the Shamans hang out together in the middle of the pack. Beast Mastery, Fire and Feral remain at the boom, with the Hunter spec getting very used to it down there.

      95th percentile Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      Subtletly is doing a lot better in the generalist bracket, beating out Unholy for 3rd, while the top 2 remain the same. Affliction doesn't rise as high as in the top percentiles, but does gain more spots, 10 in fact, with Balance at its back, also gaining 2. Marksmanship and Fury stick together on their way down, both dropping 2 spots. Devastation is on its way up here, grabbing 9th.

      All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
      Arcane isn't quite as far ahead here, but is still in a commanding lead, as Unholy tries to give it a run for its money. The two top Warlocks specs are very close here and even Destruction arrives into the top 10 to make it 3 purples, as Assassination drops quite a few spots.

      All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Mythic
      Mythic is becoming more relevant each week, especially with the short fights of Heroic skewing things in favor of Arcane, which isn't doing so well here, finding itself down in 8th. Frost DKs are back on top, but extremely close to Devastation. Shadow is only a little further down, just ahead of previous No.1, Elemental. The Warlock party continues in Mythic as well, as Demo is actually joined by Destro instead of Affliction in 5th and 6th, but the DoT spec isn't that far behind, also making the top 10. Beast Mastery and Fire are at the bottom of all the rankings, but are actually joined by Fury here.

      Blizzard is adding 3 new tabards in Patch 10.1.5. We have a Sons of Hodir tabard, a new Scourge tabard with the Forsaken W3 logo, and more.
      Utopian Tabard
      This is the Sons of Hodir tabard recently added in Wrath Classic, I think.


      Victorious Scourge Tabard
      A new Scourge tabard of sorts with the Warcraft 3 logo was added in Patch 10.1.5. This one has some clipping issues in the latest 10.1.5 PTR build.


      Time Mender's Tabard
      The final third tabard is themed after time travel. Maybe it's from the new megadungeon or Time Rifts.

      Anboni has created a WoW prop hunt game in Unreal Engine 5 that takes place in Gadgetzan.
      Abilities
      You right-click an object to transform into it. "R" is an AoE root on a 1-minute cooldown. When you press "V", you will AoE taunt nearby enemies Everyone can put a robot on the ground that alerts about nearby enemies. Every player has 5 lives.
      Anboni played the game with friends and we have a nearly 10-minute gameplay video.
      If you're interested in how the game came to be you can also watch the "making of" video below.

      The surprise Blue Dragonflight questline that became available on live servers last week added a new Malygos model. Check it out!
      Dragonwrath wielders will obtain Tarecgosa's Visage as a standalone mount upon completion. The questline ends with a cinematic that shows members of the Blue Dragonflight. Most notably, we get to see a brand new Malygos model.
