Can we please see these animated? I'm reserving judgment about them until then as it is extremely difficult to judge a model based on static screenshots.

Oh really. You guys weren't kidding when you said 3.2 would be getting here sooner rather then later were you.

Q u o t e:

We do not plan to release any animations of the new form art, but the test realms will be coming soon enough so everyone can play around with them. :)

---

Will we be allowed Premades? At least druids, so that we may test?

My druid is 71, and as much fun as copying her over is, the bgs are pretty much dead, instances aren't run, etc. If you arent 80 on the PTR, it isn't fun :P

Q u o t e:

Everyone seems to forget that aquatic form exists, if you add that to flight, tree, and moonkin forms then there's all your non flesh eating forms, with bear, cat, and travel still man eating beasties. I don't think travel needs to be a deer, it's just desperate for remodeling. As for aquatic form, I've always found it to be the ugliest form in game, I hardly think it's worth remodeling though if it's grayed out on land, still think it should be able to waddle around out of water, seals do that, I've seen them.

---

I agree with this, aquatic form is terribly ugly. kinda like tauren cat form was.

it would be great if it could go on land (alot slower of course maybe the speed that anyone without aquatic form goes in water it could have OUT of water?)

if only our shapeshifting wasnt restricted. to be able to use flight form anywhere.. but not be able to fly if not allowed. (i know it will never happen)

Finally! Thank you WOW! These are perfect in my opinion. They look more realistic, and I love that. I can't wait to test these out! Great work!

So am I to understand we're being 'forced' to take these new forms?

Why?

I find the thin little silly "friendship" bracelets to be obnoxious. And you might as well have put bells on the cat form. While you're at it can we get a purr button? Seriously how are we supposed to stealth again....

Here I come big white/pink Kitty... purr..I'll scratch you, oh wait my claws were clipped.

Edit: to add more sarcasm.

Regardless of all the whining and nitpicking I see, I just want to say...

THANK YOU FOR GETTING RID OF FLYCATCHER WYVERN FACE!

All the new forms are completely amazing. Both my druids will be happy pandas :D

I really like the new druid forms but am irritated about one thing, why isn't there a tauren skin that keeps the brown bear yellow cat combination i like those two form colors and would like to be given the option of keeping them, aside from that the new forms are awesome

so cool blizzard im happy with u again for now jk jk

OK, I am really hating the new Night elf cat.... It just doesn't have the rugged, tough feel the old one did. It's too similar to the tauren cat as well. The ears aren't long enough... And I'd really like the old purple color as an option. I don't like the use of what basically are light, pastel colors as the only options.

In all of the forms, I really don't like the dumbing down of the claws. The feet on all of the cats are just terrible. The claws are tiny! How am I supposed to shred my victims to death with those? The shortening of both the claws and teeth plus the light, fluffy colors and squinty eyes on the Night Elf form make it look weak. And the stupid bracelets are horrid- Why couldn't we have the cool feather things like on the bears? They add nothing to the design because they are so plain and only detract from the wild look the cat form is supposed to have. And I think the muzzles on both cats are too long, it just looks weird.
I guess I'll get used to them after a while but I'm a bit dissapointed.

While I am very happy with the bear forms the cats are just..... ugh. I think we should have the ability to choose the original over the new if we so please.

It's the exact same cat only smoother. And the claws are a lot more accurate to what a really life cats would look like.

---

Q u o t e:


Why should you take pleasure in either race's forms being "better" than the other? Wouldn't you rather they were both the same quality?

---

Woah, woah, woah. After 4 years of our cat forms being completely inferior, sounds like someone's a little upset that FINALLY Tauren get a little attention.

---

Q u o t e:


Waaah why do they get a bigger cookie than I do? I've had the entire jar for 4 years! But I STILL want the biggest cookie, after all this time of stuffing my face with them!

---

There, I fixed it for you.

---

Why do I care what a 'real' cat's claws look like? It's fantasy. If we can make it look better than real life we should. The claws are weak and they make the foot shape look overall odd. We want cool models, not 'true to housecats' models.

Something I'm wondering though, are there more color choices than there are featured here? Cuz there's more hair choices than that, right? And some of the bear skins don't match with the color of the cat skins so it's natural to assume there's more...

oh ok, that helps.


And with the black NE cat, why did they have to match up 'tough' black with 'girly' pink eyes and beads? lol, destroys the point of choosing black.

It doesn't have pink eyes. It's just the lighting in that shot. Honestly the lightning as a whole for the Night Elf cat form seems to have been screwed up so I'm really curious to see them in game.

Still, I would think the screens are raw, as in taken with zero lighting like in the default model viewer. But I do agree that it'll look a lot different in-game. We'll just have to wait and see.
