Worgen Druid Swift Flight Form

Unread post by Arwyn »

Short vid from Wowhead showing the worgens flight form. To see the true details on the bird scroll down to the modelviewer and zoom in on it.

Can't wait to see how the troll will look when it comes out. I'm placing my money on a red raven type bird.

I'm glad they're getting unique flight forms, but my gut is still completely against the Trolls having a bird due to their lore. =/ I have a feeling in the interest of continuity they'll have to stick to a bird, but it just goes against Darkspear ideals. ><

Maybe I need to see it in game, or check out the video, but doesn't it look exactly like NE flight form, albeit a bit darker and without NE ears?

Blizz could get away with giving them a Bat form since it fits lore when I think about it.
If Alli players were to actually whine about the trolls getting a special form and not the worgens, Blizz could just point out the trolls lore and that the reasons worgens didn't get a unique form was because they learned it and copied it from the Nightelves.

*nod* I'm hoping against all hope Blizzard will do something like that, but at the same time I know how much whining can be brought about by 'special treatment', so I won't hold my breath, but I'll certainly cringe when my future Troll druid turns into a bird.

The Troll druid NPC during the Free the Echo Isles event had a bat for a flight form, so here's hoping!

If it's a bird with tusks, I'm going to be annoyed. -_-

Yae, my first post. I've been ghosting the forums for a while now, but I've finally created an account specifically to reply to this thread.

Personally what *I* really wanted to see was the Worgen cat form actually be a wolf instead. So if Trolls get to have a bat form, I vote Worgens get a wolf form.

A major form like that is a bit of a trickier thing to manage. Then everyone will be wanting specific unique animal forms for every race. I realize Trolls getting a unique flight form might be a slippery slope, but they have a damn good reason for giving them something other than a bird. It's all over the Darkspear lore and beliefs. They despise birds, simple as that. Other forms don't have that sort of crux mythology behind in order to really argue against Worgen having a cat and such. Don't get me wrong, I think it would have been great to see Trolls have something like a raptor form instead of cat, but since flying form isn't something you stay in constantly there won't be as much hassle behind throwing out a Bat model instead.

It appears to have teeth. And claws. It is not a bird. Worgen flight form is an archeopteryx. :D

No offense intended but they kinda already have that....the worgen form IS the wolf form...or was intended to be. *points to the worgen lore* :)

I kinda like worgen druids getting cat form for cat form, since it's a completely different transformation than their wolf form. They have much less control of themselves as wolves. Cat form is something different entirely.

So the worgen DID get a unique flight form!
Then trolls can get a bat form and no one on the Alli side can whine about it. :lol:

Awesome. a fuzzy crow. That almost sounds dirty...

Love the coloration, but then, I love the looks of the worgen druids. Troll needs can only be summed up with three words...

TO THE BATCAVE!!!!
I don't really feel like this is so much the "Post-Modern" era as much as its the "Pre-Zombie-Apocalpse" era. I consider myself more of a forward thinking guy and an era that just won't die is just as feasible as a coming era, where the dead come back.

The whole "Worgens should get wolf form" kind of makes me /facepalm.

You're playing an anthromorphic wolf. Wolf form would be getting down on all fours. Seriously. It honestly is fine as is. Messing with it too much would be dangerous. After all...Don't fix it if it ain't broken.

Uhhh, just thought of something.

I don't know the specifics on troll lore, but I *do* know that Akil'zon is the EAGLE boss in ZA.

I dunno if that'll make a difference....and I really really hope that Blizzard goes for the bat....but just putting that out there.
