Is it stupid of me to still be hoping for this? :S

Pretty much. I'm still glad they got rid of the overly sweet foxish face.

I'm still hoping, the cross between Scooby Doo and Jessica rabbit we have now is absolutely aweful, not to mention the horrid TMNT snarl >.<
I'd love to roll a worgen lorewise, but unless the face model changes I can't see it happening.

The face on female worgen makes me very glad of a couple of things:

1.) I'll be playing a male as well, and I actually relatively like their faces.
2.) My female worgen is a rogue, thus she'll be too busy in stealth, stabbing people in their backs. ;)
3.) I don't HAVE to look at her face, as we're behind them most of the time anyway. (Thank god.)

Despite these factors, I was really hoping they'd fix the terrible "cross between Scooby Doo and Jessica rabbit we have now... not to mention the horrid TMNT snarl," as Sorcha put it. As a person doing Higher Level Art in school and enjoys anthro art, I really think the designers of the model either wanted to keep the yiffing Furries away, or just had no idea what they were doing with it. :/

Slightly since they're set in stone now and I like how they turned out.

Anyone have pictures of what the Female worgen looks like?

Do they sniff a lot? I'm told they do.

Don't worry Saturo, I'm still hoping. If they launch with the way they are now, I'll be not-so-pleasantly surprised. Compared to the males, they look terrible. I'll be making my warrior a male if they stay how they are. And I had a name picked out for her and everything..... :(

Yeah, ugh. It's really bad. ><

Somehow Blizzard managed to really screw these up. I've seen many fan concepts that looked amazing, not sure why they couldn't get them right. Ah well, wasn't planning on having one, but it's a shame they look so bad.

It would be nice if they at least added one of the female faces from Alpha.

But Dec 7th is a couple of days away and we can really really hope Blizz will make some minor changes..like the sniffing issue..when Cata comes out or through a patch.

Here's some pictures of the model from different angles. Didn't put on any gear to show off the weird proportions. Also, the voiceacting is HORRIBLE. Seriously, I was HOPING that it was just temporary. But no, seems it's going live. :(

And Arwen, those things were the first to go, and for a very good reason. They were all hideous.

Yeh the sniffling needs to go, it's disgusting : /

I got somewhat used to the snarly growl face and it doesn't make me cringe like it once did, but the cheeks still look too puffy and bizarre. I might be able to play them even with the odd quirks but only if they chuck the blasted sniffling. Well, I'll roll one anyway, but yeh, would be much more enjoyable if she didn't have that issue. Males are 100 times better, I'll have one of them, too. They still have some texture issues on certain NPCs as well, the odd zombie teeth on the muzzle and no eyes issue that a few people posted pics of in earlier threads...

They really fell short with these models, I'm sad to say :( The player made ones all are so amazing, it is sad to see the features they have not implemented. Meh, oh well.

I have a love-hate relationship with the female worgen models. =/
I dislike their prego bellies and square butts, the TMNT "smile" and "come hither" eyes. I like that we're getting playable worgen, and sadly, I think that's about it. I'll play one as I've designed a backstory for a worgen hunter, but I'd love if we could have some form of the alpha models back, or at least customize the faces on these models more. More wolf-like ears would be nice, as well as separate customization for the human and worgen forms.

And if they could make the nasty sniffing happen less often, and take the noise away, that'd be nice too.

I really like how the male model came out, but good lord... I'm still kinda shocked at the females. They still have a square butt, their boobs look weird, and that face... A face that only a mother can love. While I'm glad that they shifted away from the sexy vixen look the alpha had, I'll have to agree with Trinia on this. It really looks like the devs didn't know what to do with them... The bedroom eyes along with that weird shaped head and awful sneer is just hideous. And I hate those ears... Why the heck are goblin ears on them?

Instead of fierce and terrifying, female worgens are now...

Edit: And oh god, yes. The sniffing. It's awful... I wouldn't mind it so much if it didn't happen ALL THE TIME.

I'm still hoping they're going to surprise us at the last minute. And yes, now that you mention it, they totally look like that dog. I saw another caption somewhere that said something like, "Jeff put on his 'casual' face, hoping no one would notice he farted." Now every time I see a worgen female, I'm going to think they just farted. :lol:

Oh... Urm...

Yeaaaaaah, I think I'll just stick with making male worgens from now on....

I'm really bummed out they still look ugly as sin. I've heard the sniffing is atrocious and annoying and I've heard the female voice. Oh gag. Sounds like one of my really really bad pulmonary pt's. Like a 90 year old woman who smoked from the age of 10.

At this point I'm probably going to roll a male. :(

I got a preview of the worgen sniff while I was doing the caravan quest chain over in EPL. Not that I'd planned to roll a worgen, but after that, I'm certainly not rolling a worgen* without using the trick from the Cat Silencer thread to get rid of the sniffing.

*) Well... I might roll one just to experience the starter quest zone.

I agree with most except this....Blizzard was coming to a medium because not everyone wanted them "OMFGSCARY". The fierceness is in the males, moreso than the females. So if you want scary, make a male. If you want something a little softer, go female.
