Please don’t try to turn this into a worgen vs void elf thing, I am happy void elf fans got the customizations they wanted and I’m sure many of them support more customizations for worgen.

I’m really not, just pointing out the obvious, this request has been out there a very long time.
Since apparently blizzard is taking requests at this point
this should have been one of the first

Worgen as a core race with some of the fewest customization options in the game probally should have been one of the first looked at yes… but Worgen are sadly one of the least played races in the game after 10 years of neglect. 10 years of the same bad model for female Worgen killed a lot of our player base and of course Blizzard is going to put time and effort into the higher population player bases first. We Worgen players who have stuck with the race since Cata first dropped are used to it at this point so we have our threads that are well discussed and used talking about what we would like to see done to our models in detail. Now we don’t expect we will get everything but the more info we provide the better informed decisions the devs can make when they read these kind of posts.

again, its because of the amount of time and resources it takes to add a tail to the model/frame. It then has to be modified and corrected for all pieces of gear that interact with it, including mounts. The tail needs to be animated too, correct?
that takes a lot of time
Adding a hair color is simply adding a value in the code.
I understand why they can’t fix every helm for races they just don’t fit. However, the ear flaw is something different. For every other long eared race, the ears are not cropped, but for some inexplicable reason they are for worgen, and as a result worgen look terrible wearing them. This is actually something they fixed pretty quickly when they broke it on blood elves (pretty sure it was blood elves) but have left it broken for worgen.

What a great day to give worgen tails, fix animations, make them 8 feet tall, and make it possible for your worgen and human scars to match.

I’m still against tails. Even if they clearly thought about doing it at some point, they didn’t do it, and now we have a game in which Worgen have existed for 16+ years with -0- tails in sight. I like consistency, so I’d prefer if they stayed without tails.
If they REALLY wanted to add Worgen with tails, I think they should have taken the opportunity of Allied Races to make a Worgen-variant race like LF Draenei (probably paired with a Forsaken variant for Horde). Then they could make it a bit different, throw in some loose justification, and it wouldn’t impact the existing race.
I don’t think “Well Blood Elves got dark skin colors when they shouldn’t have them” is a good argument. “This is wrong so let’s make this other thing wrong too” is awful.
All of that said, I don’t dislike the aesthetic of a tail. IF Blizzard adds them (and it seems like they might one day), it’s not like I’m going to continue to fight it. I don’t think they belong, but once they’re in, they’re in, and I’ll probably make use of it. My reasons for not wanting them aren’t aesthetics.

i still thing they should properly fix them, like make 2 types of helmet 1 with holes and 1 without the holes so that way they can put the helmet with holes on races with long ears or horns.
most helmet in Warcraft are design for humans honestly, i mean i have you seen some of the leather helmets on female worgens?? they look like giant heads…
and some helmets on Orcs look like small hats.

Making wordens have tail now wouldn’t be hard story wise honestly speaking.
just like how blizzard added the night warrior eyes on the nightelfs, they could make a lore of worgens connecting more to Goldrinn the wolf wild god and cause them to be more beast like developing a tail.
it is so dumb and so simple it wouldn’t hurt nothing, just a bit of more work for blizzard’s table.
[edit:]
i mean think about it we are in the shadowlands we worgens could connect more to Goldrinn through Ardenweald.

Fun fact, both the male and female models already have their tails worked in through the skeleton work via other creatures.
Saurok use the male worgen framework/skelly and has a tail, along with the Shadowlands creature.
Those female gargoyle things use the worgen female skelly/framework and also have a tail. So really, it’s just about making an actual tail at this point since the animation work and rigging is essentially done.

I mean, this is basically the kind of thing I’d expect from an Allied Race variant, which is why I suggested that. Blizzard so far hasn’t bothered to give justifications for customization additions to existing races, so I doubt they’d do it for Worgen either unless it came in the form of a new race slot.

That’s why we want it to be optional. Lets be honest here Blizzard screwed up Worgen by giving them one of the worst models in WoWs history for 10 years. That terrible model is a good part of why the Worgen player base is so small compared to other races. The original concept was for Worgen to have tails but Blizzard ran out of time, put out a rush job of a model and one that looked terrible and Blizzard refused to fix the model no matter how many posts we made cause we didn’t have the player base to justify the changes. Now and days they made a good start with the HD update but sadly we didn’t get much in the way of love due to our low number of players.

And now they bring customization and worgens not mentioned at all…so much for now listening to the fans lol this is so frustrating.

Honestly seeing the allied race get the first batch of customization is a good thing.
It means two things. It means that Blizzard hasn’t abandoned making customizations this expansion, and seeing as both Male Blood Elves and especially Worgens in general need a huge batch of customization, it means we will in fact see a huge customization update come 9.3/10.0.
Tails, actual hair styles, scars, jewelry, height options, you name it, it’s all possibly being made right now instead of having to wait till next expansion for them to start like they said!

I think I posted this once in this thread but it’s been a while.
These options are beautiful. Hope you all get some.

I mean… as much as I should be having a bag of popcorn for this.
honestly, the only reason why I don’t see Worgen ever getting the option is just because Blizz is in a very bad state right now. But even before, they’re known to nerf fun, than to really help.
“A mere cosmetic choice that has no bearing on the gameplay? Naaah. Lets make more systems that will be obsolete!”
Would I come back for a worgen tail? mmm probably, but not till the game is actually fun and fulfilling again would I stay.

you would re-sub to a game over a tail? A tail.
this is where some people are at.
a freakin TAIL determines you playing a game or not.

Is how I do, something comes out of interest. I’ll spend some time doing cosmetics, see how the state of the game is… and if it’s still bad, likely cancel it after.
A tail would get the foot in the door, but the state of the game will determine if I open it all the way.

Yes. Please give worgen the option for tails. That’s what sold this thread for me. It’d give something for the purists who shout “NO WORGEN TAILS” as if the lore would crumble into nerd-tear laden dust just by having that appendage like every other beast race in the game.
