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.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
