Re: 8.2.5 Beasts
I'm also in love with the new ghostly effect they've made in 8.2 and I think it would be very fitting to use on one.
Other than that though I'm not sure what to expect. I feel like we won't get another new zone already after Nazjatar/Mechagon, so I wonder if there will be anything new? Hopeful though!

8.2.5 PTR Notes
Worgen and Goblin model updates
WoW 15 year anniversary
Alliance Bee Mount Questline
Timewalker Firelands
New Feature: Party Sync
During this PTR we’re experimenting with a new mode that makes it easier for players in a party to do quests and play together: Party Sync. When players activate Party Sync, everyone in the party becomes aligned to the same quest state, including phases. By mousing over a quest in your tracker, you can see who is on the quest, what their progress is, and who’s ready to turn in the quest. There’s something else we’re going to try out on the PTR, a “replay” quest feature. This will allow players who have already completed certain quests to replay those quests with their friends for rewards that are appropriate to their current level, regardless of the original level of the quest.
We’re also relaxing level restrictions on queueing for instanced content with your friends. This allows lower-level players to queue for content in their level range, and higher-level players can choose to join them by having their level scaled down while they’re in the instance. This feature will be available for dungeon instances for PTR Week 1, with PvP instances being flagged in the following weeks. Please note that unlike Timewalking, when your level is scaled down via Party Sync you will temporarily lose access to abilities and powers (such as Azerite traits) with requirements that exceed your reduced level.
Return of Recruit-A-Friend
Coming in 8.2.5 is a revamped Recruit A Friend system. If you have active game time you’ll be able to recruit your friends—both brand-new to the game and returning champions—to share in your adventures. To do so, you’ll be able to use a new URL generation tool to create a custom link to give to your friends. By following the link, you’ll be connected to each other and will be able to see if they have purchased game time, resulting in rewards for you! For each month your recruits have active game time, you’ll earn a new reward such as unique pets, mounts, game time and more. These rewards unlock per month and scale with how many months your recruits have subscribed for. And, of course, with Party Sync you’ll be able to journey with your friends on any of your characters. We’ll have more information about Recruit A Friend rewards when we get closer to its release.

Re: 8.2.5 Beasts
The biggest thing about the patch notes for 8.2.5 though is the replay feature. For example, Horde hunters who did the quest for the white snake in Voldun can pick that back up, high levels can go back to Nagrand (Outland) and summon Brokentoe without having to wait hours for a low level player to enter the zone, and so on. That's gonna be nice.

I just read the Worgen and Goblin update thread.. poor female worgen.. males looks so rough and tough like... Females looks like bambi with fangs....WerebearGuy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 6:08 pm New Worgen and Gob models were a long time coming, but they need to take more time with the femworgen. They look worse than before with their uwu face instead of a proper werebeast. Poor worgen players.

Re: 8.2.5 Beasts
Have they shown any new images yet? All I’ve seen is the image used at Blizzcon last year, but that could be out of date for all I know. But otherwise I agree, the female is shameful. They chose Disney face and fashion model frame over wolf. On the other hand, maybe they feel constrained by the existing model, since their philosophy with the updates has been to enhance the existing look rather than redesign it.Mĭrya Namárië wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 3:15 amI just read the Worgen and Goblin update thread.. poor female worgen.. males looks so rough and tough like...

Re: 8.2.5 Beasts
Imagine if they did the same wit taurens.
Prolly more would play due to sexyness but that's not what a tauren looks like. There are muscle and big builed for a reason

Re: 8.2.5 Beasts
Hopefully Blizz will at least give options to make the females look aggressive, otherwise I don't think that this updated model will go over very well.

Re: 8.2.5 Beasts
This, they look fine and will have more face options/eye options. That IS confirmed. If people complain AGAIN we'll get even uglier fem worgen in HD. That's what got us the trainwreck of a model we have right now.

Re: 8.2.5 Beasts
I sincerely hope they pull a female Pandaren and tell us they won't listen to feedback.

They actually look pretty amazing.
I wish we had a super snarly face, and more drastic differences in expressions. But I can't complain
Edit:
Tbh, my biggest pet peeve is the hair. it's still so... I don't know. I don't mind some of them but wish we had a hairless option (more of a mane that blends in better). Also run is a bit off
