I’m all for the skyborne, the lore behind the race seems awesome. But honestly, when I toggle my HD off, I want them to have SD models too, wether that be the classic high elf models based on the night elf rig, or wether that’s on the TBC blood elf rig, I don’t care.
Get them SD models. And any future races, art, assets and characters Blizzard adds to this, need to have SD models too.
You can’t go about advertising the SD / HD toggle as a feature when you have this golly new elf race that people are paying 30 bucks for to play look ultra HD in SD mode. It’s like introducing a colorful cinderella into Sin City.
Can we have confirmation on wether this is coming or not???

Totally agree, i also would love classic skeletons, as a classic lover.
But the LEAST they can do is acually give Skyborn a real SD model.
Feels a bit lazy, do not fit in.
Makes me a bit unsure about playing Skyborn all togheter, as they stand out like a sore thumb.

I’ll admit that I was quite disappointed seeing that there wasn’t a “SD” model for the Skyborne when creating a character.
Seeing everyone with the good old SD models then suddenly WoD elves appear kinda ruin the immersion and the “Classic” vibe.
Take the TBC Blood elves skeleton/model and adapt them as the SD variant of the Skyborne race for those who don’t want to use HD models. D:

I really feel like alot of the criticism about the race “not fitting in classic” is due to their model. If they just had the TBC Belf-model in Blue for SD-toggle I personally wouldn’t have any issues with them.

Absolutely. I really love them lore-wise but the model does very much stand out from the rest of the world.

100%.
Imo, Skyborne needs three main things:
-SD model
-Their own model (i.e. not Blood Elf)
-Their own animations (i.e. not Blood Elf)
They also don’t fit in color-wise. Their skin and hair is super saturated compared to older races, and they have tattoos and way more customization. They don’t fit in.

I totally agree!
I hope their direction for this SD toggle continues and extends to mounts, armor, mobs, etc, however long it takes. Even if it’s on a slow burner I’d be happy.
Right now with SD toggled on and new armor sets equipped, it feels goofy, too much of a difference.

100% agree, as someone who likes the new elves, its really immersion breaking and jarring to be using SD and have them exclusively be HD. The TBC elf model is sitting right there, i’d be happy to have them even without the new customization being available. Considering we’ve paid for this race, it feels like it should be worth the extra attention to detail.
