One of the spoiler threads that has proven true did list Worgen tails… So who knows I just want to see more customization and a lore correct size. Those are key to Worgen right now getting more of a player base as the dragons are clearly getting a ton of customization options.

yeah but the dragons also need a bit of work as it would seem I’m not alone in finding their mortal form to be…lacking in various departments. Still hoping worgen get their tail option though and blizz won’t just cut corners yet again and go ‘whoops knew we forgot something’ like they’ve done before
They can retcon entire novels worth of lore but cannot retcon for a mere customization option? Yea no.
Give Worgen Tails.

Fun fact: the new gnolls use the worgen model, and have tails! So the male worgen are also rigged to use tails too, if they want.

- More Ear Options and Shapes.
- Separate Scars from Faces.

- Visible corresponding scars in human form!!!
Jewelry
- Jewelry options for male and female.
- Gilnean Rose for our hair.
Other
- Add The Melee Claw Animation.
- A No Weapons Transmog.
Classes:
- Monk
The reasoning for us not having them was tied to our locked in timeline for our starting zone. This is no longer an issue as all players can now start in Exiles Reach.
- Paladin
The Gilnean’s were around when the Silver Hand was made. Let us have our paladins damnit! They already claimed that the curse doesn’t stop the priests from being able to be holy.
- Shaman
Hey it worked for the Kul’Tirans right? No reason we can’t learn. (Also there is a Worgen Shaman in Ashenvale…)
Feel free to ask me to add more things.

Next stop 9k posts… We Worgen are still here Blizzard. Unless you ban us all we are not going away. We just want to see some love shown to Worgen.
If what I have been reading is true and have seen then there may be a fairly good chance that now finally Worgens get tails.
The new race/class if you look they have tails and I believe are built from the Worgen skeleton rig, correct me if wrong, so it appears Blizzard can have tails on the skeletons and this may be like a test run you know stick it on a new race made from Worgens rig then stick it on Worgens.
I just read up above the new gnolls use the worgen model and have tails could be another test run to see how they would look when finally added to Worgens.
I have no doubts Blizzard has seen and heard the cries from Worgens and other players asking for tails and do think we may be getting closer than before to achieving this goal.

How about some tails for Worgen? Can we get that sometime between now and the dragonlands expansion?

Not sure if the rigs are identical, per se, as the facial structure is a bit different. But as long as the bone names and hierarchy in the skeleton is similar, Maya/Blender/etc…all have some sort of animation retargeting features.
IIRC, they made all the player races use the same core skeletons with the revamp in order to easily retarget shared class anims and such. So in theory they could transfer tail animations from a Dracthyr or Draenei or even a Vulupa to Worgen. Would obviously require some manual touch-up, after the fact but, yea.
Sadly it’s not Worgen just like every other race they are simply in the game. It’s Blizzard who is the reason so few people play Worgen.
Let’s roll back the clock to Cataclysm. Worgen are announced but oddly only male Worgen are shown. As beta progresses and the time to release grows closer It’s suddenly realized that Cataclysm is only a month away and finally Blizzard shows off the alpha models for female Worgen. They are rough but they have a number of hair styles and look somewhat close to the males in the eyes and options for the looks. But then came some fourm hate claiming they didn’t look vicious enough and with 2 weeks to go before release the female model got changed into the abomination we were stuck with for 10 years. Think about that for 10 full years the Worgen model was one of the worst models in WoWs history, and the Worgen players base suffered as many didn’t want to play such a bad model.
Then the racial revamp came around. All core races were given updates… or so Blizzard said. But one race was ignored or forgotten about. Worgen racals are still the same as they were when the race came out. Originally at the start Worgen viciousness was going to be 1% dmg rather than 1% crit chance. To this day no one is sure why that was changed before release. But while every other core race innthe game got boost the Worgen waited to see what we would get… we are still waiting. Some argued that because Worgen came out in Cataclysm they didn’t get the update right away but that is quickly debunked when you see Goblins got the racal changes along with the other core races. And yet here we Worgen sit waiting still for our turn. When asked why we were never given a reason one core race was never touched but it was fairly clear if you looked at the number of players as to why. But is it the Worgen players fault? No it’s the model that no one wanted to play.
More time passed and finally it was the Worgens turn for the HD model and you know for the first time we Worgen players felt maybe just maybe Blizzard will show the Worgen some love as a good portion of the issues that people hated about the female model was changed. And thus we saw a rise in the number of Worgen players. Now that alone should have been a red flag to Blizzard that a little love to the race would have the numbers grow. But our options were limited. We were happy to no longer have the worst model in WoWs history but no updated racals and a fairly large lack of options to boot still kept a large number of players from making the swap.
Finally every race was given customization and everyone was pumped for more options but Worgen were once again left on the back burner. Yes we got stormwind human options but there is 0 options that are unique to Gilnean humans. That and our core look. The one we are forced into in combat has a grand total of 5 options. Fur, Face, Hair, Ears, Eyes. And let’s be honest the hair is only small braids in the hair that are hardly noticeable.
So what can be done? Well between this post and the Give Worgen tails post there are over 10,000 posts of feedback on Worgen changes:
Lore correct 8 foot size.
Optional tails.
More colors for eyes and fur.
Upright posture for males.
Updated racals.
Give the human form something unique to Gilnean humans like the Waltz dance humans have and other unique looks only a Gilnean can use.
It’s far past time for the Worgen to be shown love Blizzard we have waited and watched as even allied races were given more time and love than a core race and yet we still wait and still request the same love and time put into the race we play.

Wear fake tails
Final fantasy 14 has fake tails, so hey, why not both.
Give the players a cosmetic tail and give worgens a actual tail option!
9 Likes
Yoo having transmog glasses was already a big thing …
Can’t expect more cosmetic stuff soo soon
or perhaps allow that mod that gave us the tails 
Cut dracthyr tails. Give worgen tails.
Just a reminder that the expansion real didn’t even have a gameplay trailer or a actual deep dive in to the specifics outside of just the main expansion features. Also if it was Blizzcon, the second day of the event would have gone in to the Q&A panels and stuff. Don’t forget we didn’t get specifics on the character customization until the second day of the reveal of Shadowlands.
Dragonflight is ways away, more than like Q1 2023 seeing as we still haven’t gotten the main stuff implemented in to the 9.2.5 ptr like the new raid gearing system and mythic+ dungeons and such. Till then, let’s keep this thread going until we get a actual response!

Yes to worgen getting tails but dragons without tails would look beyond weird.
Agreed and hopefully that response is in our favor and not just a cease and desist order by blizz for asking for worgen to get tails for whatever reason
As a guess I say 4th quarter of 2022
