Patch 29.0 has just dropped, and it added another 10 Hero Skins all players can get for free. 12 more were added in the last expansion (you can check them out here) and you might remember it that was necessary because people were running out of skins to pick from both the rewards track as well as the Tavern Regular achievement. If you have been constantly playing the game since Madness at the Darkmoon Faire (when the rewards track was first introduced), you would run out of options by now.
All in all, 10 older classes got a second set of skins, while Death Knight now has one available (since it’s the newest class). With all of that, we shouldn’t have to worry about players running out of options for the new few years, so I assume that we won’t get any new Level 100 rewards track / Tavern Regular skins for some time.
In general, I also think that most of those skins are a big step-up compared to the quality of the original ones. Some of the originals were solid, but for me those just look cooler.
Anyway, here’s how all the new rewards track & Tavern Regular skins look:
…why do they have recycled voice acting? The previous additions had new voices, these just reuse different previous versions of the character, like Valeera skins uses her gladiator and wild west voices. Is it a bug or did they just get lazy?
Budget cuts. When the player base is 1/6th of what it once was cut backs has to be made.
