I think they can sort of modify the beak of the moonkin form now?
But bear punch.
Imagine being so weak you have to transform into a bear to punch things hard. And they don’t even do a lot of damage.
Harshly disagree.

If you’re going to nitpick the staggered release of appearances and you’re this upset about it, I wonder why you’re even still subbed?
Also, since SL we have received others with more coming in 10.2.5. Like others have said, more is to come and I believe they’ve given us (so far) what’s been finished products. Other things are still in development. If you don’t have the patience enough to wait then I suggest walking away from the game and finding more fulfilling things to do until what you desire is in the game for you to enjoy.
Now to stop being offtopic.
Druids get a lot of attention from Blizzard, more so than other classes that need (yes, i’m jealous).
Implementing druids to other races is both a very resource heavy task, when it comes to making unique cat, bear, moonkin, ground and flight models, they also have to address the lore elephant in the room, So not only they have to make all assets, they have to probably make a questlind to adress the change, considering the Earthens won’t have druids, this change will probably take longer than 11.0
I agree
Undead - Paladin
and
Mechagnome Druid
Should both be next in line, Followed by Dracthyr Demon Hunters.
I think you acting like I’m not doing anything in the game besides waiting around for a new race class combo is a little laughable.
I’m pointing out that the amount of customization that was distributed and marketed as a pillar of an expansion was very weak. You can’t call it something then only do 25% of the races and be like “yeah look customizations!” The fact we still haven’t received more for many of the core races is insane to me. You can say “oh they are coming” meanwhile we see datamined assets that don’t even get implemented into the game for us.
The customizations coming in 10.2.5 are hair colors. That’s not real customization; thats not burns, scars, tattoos, hair assets, skin colors, jewelry, etc etc. That’s literally just a applying a texture to a model.
The fact we have so many assets, doodads, art pieces not even being implemented into the game kind of displays that the art team could be put to work on actual customizations for the core races. You can go back through every xpac and find armors, weapons, mounts that were never implemented to live but exist in the game files.
I pay a subscription to the game, I’m promised X, I’m patient until an expansion ends and I don’t receive what I was explicitly sold.
I mean I’ll give it to everyone that druids for every race or just every core race would be a feat to create bear, cat, travel, and moonkin. However I think several races sharing a similar form could alleviate a lot of that. We also know that all the druid forms are going to be built on the same skeleton for animation purposes. So really it’s just shape, textures, and assets to be pinned onto the model. Like I said, yes this is the one that will definitely take a lot of work.
However that doesn’t work for paladins and shaman. Paladins would require literally nothing as all the races have their animations built into their rigs already. Same goes for shaman, the only change would be creating a totem and duplicating it 4 times for each race.
I just don’t see the reasoning for withholding more race class combinations when one is literally just changing a few numbers to allow a race to have it.
Paladins have unique class mounts per race, which isn’t as much work as druids, but more work than shamans.
I mean sort of… Dwarves and Draenei used the human paladin charger for years until they were given their own unique version.
Another “this is what they get until we decided we should probably update that.”
Blood Elves and Humans still ride an un-updated mount from 2007.
I think this is a glaring case of “heres the class and we’ll get you updated stuff soon”
They’re taking their time with the classes that have unique assets because Blizzard already knows the people spamming these threads will spam threads crying about a lack of unique assets if they don’t.

So bottlenecking it to just “we want new race class combinations!” is better?
I’d love to see you design and implement racial cat forms, bear forms, moonkin forms, bird forms, stag form, aquatic forms, for every single race, and establish new druid lore for all the races, especially undead and goblins. Since it’s easy, please go ahead.
Cool – all the races that helped with the new world tree Amirdrassil are now tethered to the dream.
Fixed.
If I create the assets am I going to refunded all my subscriptions since 2004?
Hey, guess what? You’re going to have to wait until they’re done. Which is not now.

Yeah… I done been doing that.
That’s wonderful. You’re probably going to have to continue to do so. Good Luck!!

Thanks! I’ll be here waiting and asking for updates on when we are going to get them.
That could work, as the death knights for allied races kind of worked the same way.
In other words, you can’t do it and don’t know the work behind it for the massive amount of effort that goes behind making custom forms for all the druid forms, for every single race.
