As a NE druid main since WOD i'm highly disappointed.At first i was like "wow, a truly druidish land with natural theme and NE stuff!" And then i saw leather set... I'm feeling like i got solid slap in my face. It's not fairywood theme, but some faded, dead nature, mixed with soil and some blue stuff. Druids are highly bond with circle of life and nature, as the Ardenweald is - leather set should be the most representative, it should scream with colors of life! Meanwhile the colors of it remind me Tiragarde Sound guards armor, but mixed with Darkshore background. Blizzard, please - add here some green, blue or maybe more purple color. Nature and life are so colorful, and yet you chose to make it more gray and brown, like a dirty sand.There are some leaves also... but only in the shoulders/head piece. There is some forest theme too. But in:1. Some strange, curved form on legs. I guess it was an inspiration from entangling roots, but it came out looking like thick, mutated wood. Blizzard, please, if you want to make it look good, make it froom real, green, thin roots.2. Hands - i guess it had to be wood, but with this sharp ends it looks more like some horns.3. Shoulders... It seriously brings to my mind only sharp bones mixed with leaves. Maybe try to do it in round shape, or bend it to do nice arch, like in gardens with plant tunnels.Next thing is the quality of leather set. Only the shoulders, belt, hands and "wood" on legs is in 3D. The rest is just cloth with flat texture, while plate has all things in 3D, even mail has it more than leather. And cloth is the most poor in 3D renders.From positive things - i really like the cloaks! Tier 1 looks the most druidish, and tier 2 is adorable with this moths. Tier 3 look like a cute, wooden beetle with small lamps, good for roleplaying as an adventurer :) Also i like the belt with these glowing pockets/phials, good for roleplaying herbalists and alchemists. The circle behind the head looks not bad, it gives some real forest, medieval vibes :) And sadly, this are the only 3 things that i like.
Previously, I was 100% going with this covenant for my DH main.Now, after seeing this leather set, am hoping they make something a little less... Cloth-like. They're trying to use dresses for leather as a main asthetic that would otherwise look great. I mean, that set that doesn't have one is amazing, but the others...
In the concept art, one of the Ardenweald cloaks was a set of huge gorgeous moth wings! What happened to those! All I've ever wanted as a druid is to look like a giant fairy! Is that too much to ask? Please give us moth wing cloaks, Blizzard!
Just keep giving us random crap hanging off our back instead of cloaks and we will happily recycle cata+ content to go along with itI spent years being tired of cloaks in game
I love the colors of these sets. But am I the only person who hates lopsided shoulders? Hunters have way too many of these! At least give us an option to transmog shoulders to give a balanced look. I'm hoping that the new transmog shoulder option work this way. Thanks!
Noooo. The mail set does not look that good. Sad Hunter in touch with nature and animals alike.
I guess the most druid looking class with Night Fae will be .. Night Elf Warrior? Lol
