Worgen Customization Mega Thread

Nah not quite that situation though I am very sad to hear you’re going through that.

No more increased customisation in shadowlands. [Requesting a refund] - Community / General Discussion - World of Warcraft Forums (blizzard.com)

This is my response to this whole mess…

I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. Super frustrating.

Nah screw it.

Blizzard is making a mistake.

Not going to stop requesting till they get it through their heads that more customization should be a priority.

Nice, Polygon put up a link towards this thread. Thanks Polygon!

Blizzcon was definitely a huge disappointment for a lot of us. While they do say they want “more feedback”, whatever that means at this point, we will continue to do just that. Keep this thread alive and continue to bring in your ideas for worgen customizations!

I get audio from the T&E clip but after that there is nothing. Is that intentional?

Haha all good! Figured I’d make you aware :slight_smile:

What pisses me off the most is that I’ve been giving this feedback MANY TIMES before the 8.2.5 rework, the 8.2.5 PTR, and of course this post which was just after the Shadowlands announcement. Not only that, I wore a t-shirt (and wolf tail) to BlizzCon in 2019, shouting at the top of my lungs about worgen tails during the Q&A because that is how passionate I am about this race. I was genuinely excited for worgen to “finally have their due” but it seems my fears came into fruition. We were flat out taxed for the 8.2.5 rework and the human form. At least, that is how I feel.

I have used multiple mediums on giving feedback. These Forums, the beta/ptr/alpha dev forums, Twitter, reddit, etc etc. I very much so recall my threads blowing up, especially during the 8.2.5 PTR forums with people very much in agreement with my suggestions as they do here. But yet… we haven’t provided ample feedback over the years for Blizzard to at least acknowledge us… :roll_eyes:

As I said, Blizzcon was the final nail in the coffin for me and I’ve moved on to other games. Maybe I’ll come back when Blizzard gets more in touch with its player base and actually listen. Some people say that those being mad about the no new customization are nothing but “spoiled brats.” Guess what, we pay to play this game too and are just as entitled to expect a company to deliver on their word. Character customization was a HUGE selling point for Shadowlands and pre-covid they adamantly spoke of this feature being a thing throughout the expansion. Now to receive NOTHING for at least 2-3 years? Yeah, nope, I’m out. I’m a 16 year old vet to the game and this is the first time I have officially unsubbed.

They don’t understand how disheartening it is to be a fan of a race that’s been in constant turmoil since the alpha phase of Cataclysm, give ample feedback with a huge amount of support, and be completely given the cold shoulder. Again, human customization is not worgen customization so take that into account when you look at worgen form customization only compared to Tauren, Night Elves, Orcs, etc etc.

We recognize the importance of customization options that allow players to better express themselves, and saying we have no plans to add additional options (like hair styles, etc.) in Shadowlands content updates doesn’t undermine our commitment. Visual fidelity of all aspects of our game, and especially player characters, whether it’s the appearance of player models, animations or visual effects is an ongoing project and we’re constantly working to raise that bar. We have a ton of unique outfits and other cosmetic rewards coming in Chains of Domination and beyond, but do not plan to add additional baseline customization options during Shadowlands.

sigh Is Hazzikostas serious?
He treats it as a side project, not a top priority one and that’s the problem.

He doesn’t understand that many - if not a majority - would have preferred to not have “a ton of unique outfits and other cosmetic reward” and having a ton of new choices in character customization.

Given the choice, i would have accepted to sacrifice a 3 boss raid if it allowed the artists to work on more customization options.

WoW was seriously lacking in this area to begin with and what was given feel like that 1/4 of the job was done from what anyone can expect for an overhaul.

Sad to see one of the biggest supporter of the worgens to move on elsewhere.
The thing is that you are not the only one to go because of this brutal “No”.
Why?
Because it doesn’t means that they are working on this project to have some release later, it means that they are not working at all.

Maybe they will reconsider if a ton of players quit for this reason but given the fact that they are very stubborn on certain subject, i wouldn’t count on it.

This dev team has been the worst stewards for Azeroth, ever.

Worgens need tails.

Worgens, and other races, need more customizations.

They did a “good enough” job and called it quits, even though they promised they would be adding more throughout Shadowlands. Big ol’ bait-n-switch with these jokers. So tired of it.

Let’s be honest humans and orcs got customization everyone else got scraps just to hint at what could be.

Mistakes happen, even in official artwork.

Most official artworks are actually commissioned from freelance artists who might not be intimately familiar with the material they’re drawing for – things like worgen tails are small details that can easily slip through the cracks.

Yet in the Darkmoon Faire video which was purely made by Blizzard as well as the teaser still image two different looks of Worgen were both given tails. That was not freelance work for the cinematic. Just stop trying to say no to optional things players would like to see when they have 0 impact on the game. Now if Worgen players were asking for an instant kill animation that they pounced on a target and ripped out there throat… ya that would be OP and something that would impact game play but when players are requesting an optional tail just for looks… Ya its not going to hurt to ask for it and the small minority that comes in here telling us no is just helping bump the thread keeping it at the top page.

Where did you get this idea? Blizzard has in house concept artists…

I don’t honestly know of any large gaming company that uses freelance artists to do their concept art…

I never had negative feelings towards Taliesin, at this very point 1:20, I would like him to choke on an olive.

Worst of all, he is most likely saying the same thing as Blizzard members about worgen.

Human customizations are enough and are very good. :unamused:
But like many things done in BfA, they were not done with the alliance in mind.

It was pure luck to have these customizations but they are useless for worgen, as they add nothing to the worgen.

I never do anything as a human, because if I wanted to be one, I would make one belonging to Stormwind or some obese kultirans if I liked to feel bloated like a balloon and as heroic and imposing as a brick.

Unfortunately, Blizzard will not be affected by your departure.
I’ll be sad, but Blizzard?

''If you are dissatisfied with the alliance, the Horde is waiting for you".
A player in the Horde is worth as much to her as it is to Ally.
Blizzard simply has no interest in doing something relevant or magical for the alliance since WOD.

I stayed out of the game and the forum for a few days, trying to digest this joke more.

Nothing like day after day.
But frankly, I removed my subscription. I will be taking a Warcraft vacation for a few weeks.
The current Lore is garbage, current customizations for worgen are limited, and none of them provide worgen with more options than they had for 10 years.

What is being suggested, is not something that would require balance work, revision racials, would not need nerfs / buffs to fix but still, even though it would be less laborious to do, blizzard decides to recreate its best moment, "Are you dont have phone, guys’’ with customizations theme.

Blizzard is just too desperate to remake old hits and not to do something functional today.
Is the new colors and model update all we have? OK.

I’m tired of being a source of mockery, of seeing devs make ally and her races sources of mockery, of seeing people continually disparaging our suggestions with petty and toxic motives and being endorsed with attitudes like those we had in this new Blizzcon from hell.

Anyway, I hope things will change in the future and that those changes will bring you back.

Weirdly enough, even thought blood elves are the most played race in the game right now, male blood elves still got shafted to the side compared to female blood elves.

And to the weirdos that say “worgens got enough”, this image says a lot.

Heck, night elf dks even get the options to change their eyes with night warrior eyes. The rest of us are stuck with default blue eyes.
