GIVE WORGEN TAILS AND UNSHRINK TAIVAN!

I reckon they will give you guys tails, i think i remember someone saying they have the bones to animate it? curled tails for example would be super cute now that i think about it
It’s not like they (Blizzard) make constant or yearly jokes about this subject, so I wouldn’t be optimistic that we’re getting anything just because they haven’t recently ‘salted the wound’. It’s been many years…and that bears repeating, many years…since we’ve been asking for the tail option, and in all that time they’ve only vaguely addressed our requests on, what…three occasions? I’m not at all surprised that they yet again said nothing.
sethrak uses the same skeleton, they have tails, they would need to edit it for sure to not be super stiff and likely make a new one for the female skeleton since i dont think they have the bones for it yet. im hoping they will, worgen have a running animation that would make more sense with a tail to balance it out
Yeah the frame has the bones for a tail they’ve just put off adding one the model for whatever reason. This is made quite clear given races like Saberon, Dracthyr, and I think the sethrakk (but I don’t know for sure on that one) use the frame and all got tails. Saberon using the male worgen frame and dracthyr seemingly using the female worgen frame showing both frames got those bones we just need them to add in an option for tail or no tail and to apply a customizable model for the tail when the player chooses to have a tail on their worgen. Most the work is already done and one would imagine or hope adding a tail model to the bones and a toggle for if the tail’s there or not would be easy for them to do. If adding a tail is simple and easy and doesn’t cost them too much they only stand to make a net gain by granting the option but if that’s the case let alone if they see that or not is anyone’s guess atm. Lot of races need more options but worgen for sure should get more options like the choice of a tail before the rest as they’ve been around since Cata where as the allied races have been around a lot shorter window a time.

Wild- so there’s all those models that use male and female Worgen frames??
That’s really unfair to you guys, they can most certainly do it i just wish they explained or at least clear things up as to why it hasnt been done yet after all these years instead of putting off / ignoring when they have acknowledged this thread ;/ its pretty gross of them
Saberon, Saurok, Sethrak all use the Worgen frame.
The dracthyr are actually using their own frame.

True, still Blizz could add a tail to the model even if they had not used the rig for other tailed races.
See the vulpera using the goblin rig but they still got a tail for example.

Aye.
And like… the tail rig is there. Its even partially animated. It wouldn’t be a hard thing for them to add one and get further animations setup.

I think it started as a Worgen Female rig in early development as a lot of the first few poses look very Worgen-ish.
Kinda like how Zandalari Males started out as a Night Elf rig from MoP.
How are people supposed to know when a Worgen is happy if they don’t have a tail to wag???

When asked blizz said they made that one from scratch like the Kul tiran rig.
Zandalari were a night elf rig until they made the player one which is the Darkspear model modified actually.

Ah that’s right saurok exist with the frame…knew I forgot one. Still sad though how they’re just taunting us with these races using worgen frames and got tails but are so stubborn about letting worgen have optional tails.

It’s cause Blizzard messed up. Cataclysm’s release was the downfall of the Worgen due to time constraints and the lack of planning on Blizzard’s part. Most of Cataclysm beta we didn’t have access to the female Worgen model and had only seen the alpha look of the model. This model had a number of hair looks and while it looked a bit thin in face it looked like a solid start for the concept art we had been given. These models never made it to beta. A small group came in and said the model didn’t look vicious enough and with less than a month to go Blizzard scrapped the work and slapped together the abomination that no one wanted or liked. The feedback on the model was terrible but with Cataclysm’s release less than weeks away Blizzard didn’t have time to change the model and let it go out with the rest of the expansion. It was the only time in the games history where the male and female models of a race didn’t feel like the same race and the model was so bad no one wanted to play female Worgen. So for 10 years we had hardly anyone playing the race and Blizzard put us on the back burner. We are to this day the only Core race in the game with no racial revamp like every other core race got. If anything, the way the number of players using female Worgen rose, should be rather obvious to Blizzard after the HD rework of the Worgen model but the damage was done by then. So now we wait and continue to request optional tails and will do so despite how we are treated.

Here’s one thing that bothers me still, so after getting the gilneas reclamation done I’ve been using the new outfit’s hat on this lock… logged into the character dozens of times and it’s still never showing up here. I mean just…wow… they’re sitting on their hands about giving worgen the option of a tail and the new armor may as well be buggy with no intent to fix that? I look like a wicked vulpera count in game but here…yeah idk anymore. Why let Horde use the skin if you’re not going to let it be shown on us for here on the forums? Is my vulpera not allowed a monocle and top hat like how apparently they are taking their time maybe getting around to giving worgen nice things again? Oh and supposedly the next patch more customization are being added but it may just be neon hair colors for Kul’tiran that nobody asked for…so… yeah wow…

I still wonder what things would be like if they just kept that model.
It looked so much better.

I forgot this was such a massive community demand. I wonder why it takes blizzard so long to respond to easy customization options like this.

Cause they don’t understand a third of their player base.

‘A third of their playerbase’ sounds like an overestimation of size to make it look like this is a massively demanded thing across the game.
It ain’t.
