Druid Forms Video

[Falconer]

I know we had threads on both Worgen and Troll druid forms already, but I just found this spoiler video that shows both in a model viewer with all available colors. The look so much better than the pics we saw before.

What, no treeform preview?

Ah well, still nice looking, hehe.

[Dewclaw]

The worgen forms look good.

[Nevar]

The worgen forms look good.

I love the cat form - everyone says it looks like tauren but I dont think it does really.. Maybe the mane a bit but they are trying to get a wolfish cat

[Aleu]

Mmm, still no Troll bear form? Oh well, I love the Worgen Cat forms, mostly the white one.

[Vephriel]

Ah I can't wait for my Troll Druid...loving the cat form, can't wait to see the textured bear. ^^

[Gimlion]

I LOVE the troll Cat form. I didn't like the white one they showed when they began that part, but the other ones look amazing!

[Rottingham]

Can't wait for my worgen druid! The worgen bear form looks like it has a rat face, a vicious rabid rat face! It looks fierce and I like it!!!

[Tyuriwen]

Love the Worgen ones, the Troll Cat looks like a 4-year old got hold of a box of Crayola and Mr.Fluffykins. Still cyute. <3

[Sarayana]

Yeah I'm not entirely convinced about the troll kitties... >.> We'll see. The worgen cat forms definitely look fierce.

[Gimlion]

Meh, Me likes the Troll. I approve and are happy. =D

[Fael]

Bleh I still don't like the trolls... the mash of colors are feeling so off balance to me. In the video the worst was the first one, the white-ish pelt and dark blue hair... it just didn't blend well at all. In comparison all the other forms were better. I think having a darker skin would have suited it. Nothing wrong with a near black tiger is there? If they were to swap the body tones with the dark blue hair cat and the light blue hair cat it might be better.

I still really hope they'll get their colors tweaked some more and their eyebrows shaved or less glaringly obvious. Eyebrows on animals are creepy!

[Sarayana]

I rewatched the vid and... am I the only one that's getting really tired of the cats being male? Why the big mane, why the giant tusks? My tauren's female, than you very much. I really don't appreciate her being a male lion every time I wants to do dps. At least the night elf kitties are sort of... androgynous.

And don't even get me started on bear forms! Beards and sideburns! What is this? *sigh*

[Wassa]

I love the worgen forms. I told myself I wouldn't make a worgen druid (I already have four druids, two are at 80 now >.> ), but after seeing the forms I might make ANOTHER druid alt.

I'm still not happy with the troll cat, with both the clashing colors and they look basically like a male troll head on a cat body...

[Kalliope]

What, no treeform preview?

They're uh...

removing tree form.

:/

It's going to be a cooldown, like metamorphosis.

So my guess is that all trees will continue to look the same.

I could have sworn I read that they were talking about making it more like the Ancients in Darnassus. Could be wrong ofc, I can't remember the source so I dunno...

[Fael]

You're right about that. They were talking of having the new cooldown tree form being along the lines of those giant trees creatures, the Ancients.

Meh when it comes to WoW and females they are always getting the worst treatment. All the troll females are the same while the males get some variety between various tribes. They didn't even bother making Tuskarr ladies, nor did they make a new head for the female Taunka. So annoying. -_-

I hope they do change it... I love the old tree form the way you love your mangy 12-year-old cat.... it's been with me so long now and it's cute in all its ugliness. But I'd love to see something new.

And you're right about the females in the game. There was a big discussion about it over on wow_ladies one time, got kinda explosive, but people just kept bringing out examples and I was completely surprised how much I had overlooked it... @_@

And another thread derail: What about boomkin forms? I'm mainly asking because they changed the shammy totems since the horde-side were too tauren-y and the alli side were all draenei in design. I don't particularly see the alliance boomkin being more night elf than anything (except perhaps the purple) cause I don't see stags as being particularly night elf... but horde side, the horns are all tauren. So I figure we'll see worgen and troll boomkins... No?

Blizzard basically told boomkin droods to stfu and stop QQing and that oh players love the boomkin form.

That's what Boomkin got when they asked. No lie.


And tbh I'm glad they didn't do to female taunka what they did to male taunka. I was there day one, well not day one but a few weeks after, for Downs cows. When males still had Two heads. And were really just tauren bulls wearing masks.

And I got to see under the mask sometimes.

They still give me nightmares.

I remember that - more along the lines of "We [Blizz, that is] like the moonkin form as it is," but yeah. But my point wasn't whether they'll change the night elf and tauren forms, which I'm guessing they won't. I'm just speculating about what worgen and troll boomkin might look like. (My mind just flashed an image of a tauren style boomkin, hornless, with tusks. Oh god.)
