I play Horde and every time I go to Orgrimmar I see at least 5 female blood elves showing nothing but their underwear and their weapon, and I'm like WTF. Yet upon inspection they have full gear on, it's just invisible. Frankly I find it distracting and annoying and also kind of unfair for Alliance players, as you can't even assess at first glance how geared they are. How is it possible and why is this allowed ?
Free the nipple!
relog should help. I get this rarely after a DC/relog in a raid.Quote:

I get the Unknown name bug quite often. And thats with hardly any oddons and i never go above 110ms (Only 110 b/c based in USA)
Wait what? I'm getting the Unknown thing every time I log for the first 1 minute. Period. Connection is always stable and pretty fast but I didn't know it was models/lag connected.Quote:

But recently I did notice some people are getting Unknown when I first enter a crowded area and I still haven't actually dug into it because the issue usually sorts itself out within a minute.Quote:

I know this because once I owned a router that would reboot itself whenever I logged into WoW and I nailed that to be the reason. If your hardware delays or drops tons of small packets for any reason (hardware can't deal with it, or it's seen as an attack) you will see Unknown people for a while.
Ive also noticed in blackrock you can transmog to remove all your gear and fight naked.
That happens to me as well, not all the time but I can see naked blood elves pretty much as you described. It must be because of these new models.
To be clear: The models I had issues with weren't related to the ones that most of you probably have. Please don't assume the model packs on our forums are the issue because I've actually used them without these kinds of problems.
Naked characters and Unknown names are easy to reproduce by lagging while loading in.
