It’s official now. After the terrible duckface wave has invaded the real world, it will now also strike the virtual worlds. The first stop will likely be Azeroth in World of Warcraft, as the upcoming Patch 6.1 will introduce a new item via follower missions: the “S.E.L.F.I.E.-Camera.”
The name says it all, as the item allows you to closely examine your character’s face, freely adjust the angle, and then hit the shutter at the right moment to create the most appealing image. Don’t worry, you won’t have to type emotes while in camera perspective; your character automatically makes faces, and the interface will be hidden. Afterwards, the image will be saved as a screenshot in the associated folder of your WoW directory.
If that’s not enough, you can still upgrade your camera! Through another follower mission, the portrait tool can be enhanced with additional filters, giving you more customization options without having to rely on Photoshop.
Connection with Twitter?
This new feature could become particularly interesting with the Twitter connection that you will soon be able to make in World of Warcraft. To what extent this will be possible, and whether you can directly upload images with it, remains to be seen, as it is currently not available on the test server. As soon as it becomes possible, we will of course keep you updated – if the tweet flood from your friends hasn’t taken care of that yet.
