Q u o t e:
Ummm, tree form? Hello? Thanks for ignoring tree druids Blizz.

---

You wait your turn too! Back!

Love the new designs but please make the Horde/Ally trees look different :[ maybe give us the purple skin like the Teldrassil Sproutling

Is it just me, of this feels a little disappointing?

2 years of "we are working on it", and you give us a recoloring of the same model? With no gear showing whatsoever?
How hard is it to re-paint a model, I remember doing that by myself in a few days for quake skins when I was 16 (13 years ago), I would assume a paid professional could do that even faster these days.
(Yeah, I know that linking the color changes with the hair color might add a few work hours to it, but seriously...)

thanks for the mouth shutting on the bear form though.

Also, is there going to be a bear/cat/tree/chicken preview on the barber shop, or should we just spend 200g to try all the hair colors to figure that out by ourselves?

Q u o t e:
no love for the trees makes me a sad sad druid.

:(

The designs for trees already exist in treants and other such creatures but as usual we get no love.

</3

---

I'm stunned that they would do only 50% of the skins, hopefully they can reconsider and squeeze it in.

---

Q u o t e:


They probably weren't working on this for 4 years tbh.

---

They've said they where. Every few months, since release, we've gotten the "real soon now" posts regarding form updates. What we have was supposed to be place holders, nothing more.

YES!!!! While I'd like new skins for every form, I am definitely not looking a gift horse in the mouth with this one. THANK YOU BLIZZ!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Q u o t e:
Does the mouth ever close?

/facepalm


Read the whole thread.

Also, I think the horns need to go away. I picked small horns for my tauren because they are akward looking. Stop giving me big ass horns.

---

Q u o t e:
I hope night elves don't end up with technicolor forms if they're going by haircolor, but still.

---

I hope they do. A green kitty prowling around sounds perfect to me.

Big ass-horns would be really uncomfortable when you sit down anyway.

---

Q u o t e:
Any chance you can disabuse me of my fears that I'll be stuck with a mane in cat form?

---

I'm extremely happy about the fact that druid form is being updated (as is my husband, whose main is a druid), but this is my main concern. I hope that when the tauren cat forms come out, we have the option to get rid of the mane. It makes no sense that I play a female tauren druid that shifts into a male cat form... =P

---

Q u o t e:
Pretty fail imo. Was expecting something totally new and exciting and you give use recolored bears with a few extra markings? I hope this is just concept art.

---

You were expecting bear form to not look like a bear?

---

Q u o t e:
For those concerned about changing hair color, keep in mind the following as stated on the preview page:

---

Color shmolor. It still looks like it's from EQ. You know how incredibly awesome I look in full t8, and how outdated and unimpressive I look in bear form, which I'm in most of the time?

Well I'm really mixed on this announcement. First of all, the skins are still going to be the same at 80 as they are at 10 but at least we have some diversity. Second, its controlled by our skin color (hair for NE) which is pretty dumb. I don't see the complexity of using the barber chair while in bear or cat form and that creates a whole new window to change our skins. With the way its being done now, we have a good chance of finding a good bear skin we like, but hating the caster and cat colors.

Although I am glad that our skin changes are being addressed after years of promises, I wish they would have taken a different approach as far as making it more customizable as i stated above. To me this was done as some side project and tossed together so the forums would stop filling with cries from druids who are butthurt over broken promises. As expected, we will have the druids who are just happy with what they are getting because its better than nothing..... and then we will have the druids who realize that blizzard could have taken a WAY better approach at this by simply adding in some level requirements on skins, and making the color choices separate from other forms/caster.

Hopefully Blizzard will read some of our concerns early so they can work on improving the skin change option and have it ready for 3.2. I just hope that they don't yank the idea a week before patch because they wanna make improvements based on customer feedback which would probably make us wait another 6-10 months. Yes, something is better than nothing, but I know Blizzard can do better if they focus on the issues/concerns.



EDIT: Spaced out wall of text a bit

They look... so nice! I won't get confused when I'm sitting next to another bear... unless he's the same color as me =)





Thanks for making my day better!



Edit: QQ about forms for years, and we finally get them... and still not enough. o.O I don't understand druids sometimes

Neth can you PLEASE just make my leaves green. At least we can look like real trees of life until trees and boomkins can see some love.
