I’ll settle for some shrimp and lobster, or baked fish. :slight_smile:

Ugh, I’m so hungry… it’s been so long since I had a nice steak at a sit-down restaurant. I made steak for myself once and I learned a lot, but it was WAY too much work and prep.

Alpha isn’t up yet, but I heard from a little birdie that we should expect worgen very soon. It also sounds like he hasn’t heard anything about worgen tails.

I keep restarting the client. Servers are still down. :frowning:

With the amazing depth of customization they’ve added for tauren, with the bangs, hairstyle and jewelry options they’ve added, my expectations for a lot of cool stuff for all of the races has spiked a bit.
For worgen, the new fur patterns and glowing eyes and such are obviously extremely cool, and maybe we’ll get some piercings and jewelry, but we all know tail options is what should come next.
I really think the main limitation would just be the animation- obviously from saurok and saberon we know tails are already in the rig, but blizzard would want to animate it properly, make it swish in battle stance, wag when happy emoting, etc.
I respect that, but i’d take an under-animated tail now any day.

It looks like they’re separating ears and facial hair for male Worgen, and they’ve added a couple of new beards for male Worgen in the newest alpha build.

It seems like the new skin colors are now implemented, but only for one face option at the moment.

At the moment, this does mean that Worgen currently has more facial hair options than humans do in Shadowlands, although it is possible that there could still be some facial hair options for humans that haven’t been added yet.

Worgen will still not be playable on the alpha (not sure if they ever will be playable on alpha, most likely Worgen will be the final race to be made available for testing in SL), and I think Night Elves will still be disabled in the latest build as well.

There’s still nothing regarding the possibility of tails, but the separation of ears and facial hair would be nice. Not sure what they’re going to do about all of the repeat facial hair options, though. I guess it depends on whether or not some of the options will remain linked to the human form or not.

Heritage armor is “so well made” that to make it more palatable, we have to throw out the shoulder pads.

That’s why we have allied races that add little or no diversity that is really desirable or that expands the lore of the alliance.

I agree! I never need the human form.

But my worgen could use a tail.

I am really glad to see all this support for Worgen tails!

I’ll be honest I have a feeling Worgen are going to be ignored again, and rushed out at the last minute like they always are. And if you think I’m kidding let the Worgen history speak for itself.

Worgen female models were not shown till a month before Cataclysm was to go live and what we got was a model that looked close to the concept art minus the tail. But then haters came out in droves who didn’t want furrys in their game and demanded that they look more “Vicious” so 2 weeks before Cataclysm went live Blizzard scrapped the head of the model and went to one of the worst models in game beaten only by alpha female trolls. And we were forced to use that model for 10 years.

Worgen lore isn’t their own. Sure you start out in the Worgen starting zone. But as soon as you leave the area you have to go play horde to find out what on earth happened to your own race. The moment you leave the Worgen starting zone you hear nothing about Worgen as your tossed into the Night Elf leveling area.

When the races got a redo of the racial abilities the only race that did not get a single change was Worgen.

(This one is more ironic than anything but there is a quest chain in Northrend where an NPC is looking dead on at a Worgen player and asks… WHERE YOU BITTEN? My character said “could be…”)

When it came time for the Worgen to get a heritage armor set we got slapped in the face with a reskin of an existing set of armor from the dark moon faire and a heritage quest chain that made us feel like we should be ashamed to be Worgen. No other race has gotten a retexture of an existing armor set and every other heritage quest has you feeling proud to be your race… Not the Worgen. Instead of celebrating the strength to take a curse and turn it to a blessing we are told:
Tess Greymane: I see now. My people are not defined by this curse. They have held on to who they are in spite of it.
Tess Greymane: I have feared that to truly know my countrymen, I would need to bear their curse. But I was mistaken.
Tess Greymane: Our people are not merely worgen. We are Gilnean, as we always have been, and always will be, cursed or not.
Slapped in the face cause without the Worgen curse we would be simple British sounding humans…

So ya I hold a bitter resentment towards Blizzard for how often the screw over the Worgen player base. I will give them the slightest glimmer of hope in the fact that after 10 years they finally changed the Female Worgen face and it was the right change, something we needed for years. An expressive face that while vicious in combat can show emotions while not in combat. Not a 24/7 derpy pissed off face with no emotion. They get 1 point for that.

So what would I like to see… 2 major yet simple things to help fix Worgen.

  1. Worgen need to be a Lore correct 8 foot tall.
  2. Worgen need an optional tail that way players who want to use it can and those who want the old Worgen look can stick to it too.

TL:DR Read it its not that long but… Worgen have been screwed over too long time to give us options like the choice of tail or no tail.

Also, a good steak isn’t too hard to make at all, actually!

All you do is sear the steak on both sides for 2-4 minutes in butter and garlic and then throw that thing into a 450 degree oven for usually 5-7 minutes for medium rare, and you’re good to go. It won’t be ultra mega amazing since you likely don’t have an industrial broiler, but it’ll still be real good :3

I made it in a cast-iron skillet! It was great! And way too much work. If only I was actually a wolf IRL so I could just chomp on raw steak LOL

Nightrun, i share your grief, but you’re wrong about a number of things in your rant.
For example, a lot of us LOVE the heritage set, and it’s definitely not a reskin. It has totally unique geometry, for example! (PS, hide the hat and shoulders, it looks amazing.)

I wholeheartedly agree with you about the tail.

Yes and no it is a reskin of the Darkmoon Faire outfit there are parts of it that are different but instead of being its own set of armor like every other HA set it has a similar look to an existing set. Thats my issue with it. Also its lazy, how on earth do you ignore hundreds of feedback posts telling you the armor when used with a tabard shows the tabard over the “coat” parts on the back. There is alot of issues with it and all feedback was ignored when we brought up issues. The idea behind HA sets are they are completely unique looks unlike existing sets. Thats where my issue with the armor comes in. (I do agree hide that damn hat and shoulders and it looks better) but along the same lines it is not a unique set and was slapped together when users made armor that they even cheated into the game that looked far better.
