    Angry Dread is such a goofy name for a weapon.
    Or for anything, really.

    What if it was a super-hero with medusa-like dreadlocks?

    After restoring some stolen power to this monument, I was struck down, Fire in the Sky style. Cold world.

    I was playing around with the newish Isle of Dawn stuff in VG and liked the new (or so I think..never seen it before) animation and effect of that. Sadly the screen is really blurry.

    Don't be fooled, most of them look like Pokemon anyway. I've yet to see a hellish demon. Hell, the last picture cj posted, his demonthing is some sort of levitating flapper.

    I'm pretty sure that's because he went Law. All the badass stuff like Lucifer would be on the Chaos side of things I imagine. Neutral might have some cool demons too, in the endgame, since when I looked at the chart there was a spot for stuff like the Grim Reaper.

    My mainstay(Power) is an Angel, so yeah, not the most vicious of demons. The other one I have is a Freya; a Norse Pagan goddess, according to the wiki(though she's really just a reskin of Nocturne's Titania).

    Still, Angels are capable of doing some pretty evil stuff, like slaughtering an entire village for being considered beneath them.

    But if you want a 'hellish' demon, here you go:

    http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/thumb/f/f6/SatanSMT2.jpg/768px-SatanSMT2.jpg

    Could be NSFW, maybe.


    Sure, he's not in Imagine, but close enough.



    As for realistic, I kind of prefer that style also, but I can see where WoW's has its appeals.


    Law demons can be still be wicked looking, though I don't really get why Baphomet's considered Law, what with his demonic heritage:

    the blue color of the gloves really sticks out, unfortunately

    I like the 10 man color scheme so much better than the 25 man. :\ My blue shoulders are what sticks out now against the red/orange of everything else. But I wish it could all be blue.

    And that goat demon looks awesome, I want one.

    Baphomet's got one complicated history.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet

    Went from being an icon of the Templars to an icon of demon worship.

    I'm get sick of WoW screens because the player models are the same after four years. Artistic flair is no match for overexposure.

    But they like to slowly update the WoW engine over time. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we see new animations or tightened up models soon. Before druid form art.

    Yes, I'm bitter.

    Baphomet was used as almost as if a pop culture icon for satan and evil, etc but that actually doesn't hold up. His/her real history is quite complex. One day I hope to read up on it because it's genuinely interesting to see how a god can go from secretive religious icon to end up being the general logo for evil.

    From what I've read, it seems like Baphomet was an icon of worship to the Knights Templar, and the church(or some higher power of some sort) proceeded to make them look evil by association by portraying it as a demonic symbol.

    Only for the Northrend gear, and it's none too impressive from the shots I've seen, unfortunately.

    Wow does need a major visual overhaul but I doubt very much we'll see it before a sequel.

    The old races in particular (pre-TBC races) need some major graphical overhauls. Seriously, they could atleast try to make the human and night elf males look decent as opposed to horrible monkey creatures, complete either with the Downs syndrome or a horrible case of comical lankyness.

    Blizzard mentioned they'd like to get in a graphical overhaul in the next patch. 'course, look how long it took them to put in siege weapons and hero classes. :D

    I'll see if I can find the link.

    EDIT: It appears the Blizzard guy who said it clarified his statement to be "It'll be a little upgrade here, a little upgrade there, in content patches and expansions"

    I wish the original Horde races could get some hair styles that aren't like jagged, flat planes vaguely formed in the shape of hair. The difference between blood elf hair modeling and the older races is ridiculous, and they had the opportunity to fix this, they even added blood elf hair styles to humans, but they couldn't add better modeled ones to the other Horde races.
