Either way, I'll wait until we get some screenshots of female Worgen with hair to judge. But so far, they actually look pretty ferocious in combat.

Def the truth I think with the hair they'll look even better I mean they are just smooth skinned atm they havent really added the fur texture and I especially like the hair styles that were leaked its going to be so hard to choose! I fear i'll be in the barbershop for at least an hour lol

They have a TON of nice hairstyles too, it will be hard to choose!

If anyone hasn't seen the hairstyles yet:

On the subject of hairstyles... I certainly hope some of those transfer to the old races too, like BeM > HuM...

I'd like to see some more variety in hairstyles and colors for old races also.

2nd row, far right is probably the one I'll go for

For me, picking just one is impossible...

First hairstyle on my Belf: DO WANT. It looks a lot like my Belf's hair if it were more disheveled. In other words, perfect for RP. The first hairstyle on the third row looks kinda like that one short, spiky Draenei ponytail, so I'm all over that one too. But knowing the Belf stereotypes, I doubt my char would get either. *Emo T.T* My kingdom for more edginess in female Belf hair...

There is more info out there about them now on a few forums. I'm liking the face varieties in markings, the colors are fine too. The fact that they presently have flat teeth poking out of the sides of their mouths still looks really goofy... perhaps literally like Goofy. :p They had those showing up in the preview pictures quite clearly. >_<

I'm sad about how Worgen overall are more like... well.. "furries" in a sense. They're wolf/jackal/fox/dog people given your take on them, almost like lions for the males with mane-like hair, but not WORGEN. They just feel too smooth, tame and watered down I guess. They lost a lot of that bristly, fierce, feral looking edge. There was a reason as to why the old models made people want to play as them. It feels like they've taken that away and kept the name.

I've read reasons as to why other players will justify their "tamer" appearance such as them being more human and having retained their minds unlike other Worgen. The humans that have been cursed up in Grizzly Hills seem to have full control over themselves though, so I wonder if that means they'll get updated models?

I really hope something about them can change my mind at some point! The models are nice ones and I want to like them more, I'm just still disappointed that finally getting Worgen resulted in not exactly Worgen. I think fixing their fangs would be a good start, if at least perhaps similar to how Trolls can choose their tusks, then there's an option of a piece of the original look back. Here's to hoping... :p

Aye, I would prefer it if they were a bit more vicious looking. But remember, they're still works in progress, and sometimes even the slightest changes can made a huge difference, so don't judge them too quickly yet.
Looking at the faces, they come off as more elegant looking to me, which isn't bad at all, as I've heard the starter quests state that our characters are apparently noblemen/women. The worgen are really starting to grow on me. I absolutely love the face, hair, and skin (fur?) choices. I'm quite excited to roll one once Cata comes along!

Also, the hairstyle on that video at 1:22... does it remind anyone else of Doctor Who?

*nods* Mm, I agree with ya there.

I find them really disappointing as well...something about the snouts is off and they eyes too. But isn't ready yet so maybe there is still hope.

I really hope some of those hairstyles will be available to other races. Teigan would look cute with that long loose braid on the bottom right. I don't care for most of the current dwarf hairstyles.

It looks pretty finished up in last alpha patch.

LOVE LOVE LOVE them <3!!!!!

The snout shape definitely still bothers me. It has far too pronounced of a dip from where it slopes under the eyes. I think that overall gives the face an odd look.

I am so loving the hairstyle at 2:30 secs on that vid omg /excited!!!

It's a worgen, created by Blizzard. It isn't a wolf with its head photoshopped onto a body.

It's stylized. Wow's always been stylized. People don't seem to understand that it isn't meant to be anatomically in sync with a realistic wolf. Imo, it's got plenty of wolflike features.

Haters gonna hate.
