Let’s see what Blizzard have in store with the patch 9.2.5.
We will not have a tail or other customization options for sure, but at the very least we should have a questline with some gilneans cosmetics.
If we got nothing at all while other races does have something then… it’s hopeless to expect good things from Blizzard regarding the worgens.
There was some datamining showing few changes in Tirisfal for the Forsakens and a clue for a potential storyline regarding the Night elves.
Therefore it’s very likely that many races will have something in 9.2.5.
Sadly just how things are these days, Blizzard has already shown they don’t care anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go so far as to skip over worgen again and favor the elves, the human, the dwarves, and the orcs because people like [Redacted] are making a huge fuss about anthro races getting anything anymore. I for one hope I am wrong on this…I hope worgen get their tail options and all the customizations they rightfully deserve and that they look amazing. Sadly look what they did to the lore, to the story, and god forbid Zereth Mortis is a flop for most people. If Blizzard cared they’d let us know it by giving worgen tails and not just showering the elves with stuff but no resolution for Gilneas and its people. For all we know Tyrande’s going to do something vastly stupid and deem her former home’s isle is badly destroyed and she’ll grow the new world tree in Gilneas figuring Genn won’t mind despite the fact a tree that huge would limit how much Gilneas has to use for itself let alone the havoc it may reap on the crops. I…really hope they don’t do anything stupid going forward, I pray worgen get the love they deserve… but hey I’m also hoping 10.0 doesn’t suck. I wish you all well…but my time runs out tomorrow and idk if I’ll be allowed to say much more on the forums when it does. Keep fighting the good fight everyone
One more week and we’ll see if we get anything or if we have to wait another year to find out ourselves through the 10.0 beta… Please oh please have some kind of info or a definitive answer on character customizations.
Don’t get me wrong everything about the HD model is 5000000000000% better than what we used to have but when you compare it to the options of the other races we get almost nothing. Worgen also have the issue that the looks are so small and unnoticeable we all mostly look the same. The only way you notice the difference in the face look is if the Worgen player is using the white fur, same with hair. Its not true hair styles only some small braids to the side of the head that change and some look so similar you cant tell the difference.
And that is fine that is why we want it to be optional. If you want your monkey butt Worgen go for it. However they do look off balanced without a tail as Digigrade legs are normally supported by a tail to offset balance. Look at your own Draenei and image what you would look like without a tail. But like I said we want it to be optional for everyone to choose if they want it or not.
Here’s a perfect example of that when you look at just the core options. Worgens compared to a Orc. The face/hair styles options is small compared to our human counter parts, even some races have MORE than double the options we have ourselves in those categories.
Pretty much everyone in this thread, even the people against tails agree that they did a fantastic job with the new model. Actually gave a lot of us hope for the future, especially when they promised every core race would get a huge amount of new options. Goblins got TRIPLE the amount of new options compared to us worgens, and even more than double the new options for each catagory, and they got the new model update the exact same time as us.
Hopefully we get new options in the next expansion. People throw out a lot of unique requests we could get and help us be on par with the other races. Here’s a great thread detailing a bunch of stuff we could get if Blizzard actually listened to us.
