What, you mean it was easier to make a proper running animation for both male and female worgen models rather than recoloring mustangs from Gilneas to 7 different colors and call it racial mount?

same abilities that comes with mounts.


Plainsrunning was skill that triggered aftert 10 sec constant running.
one hit from a mob and you stopped, and had to run another 10 sec.
dazed on impact.

amazing how many people cant see the difference, as if they dont know what plainsrunning is.

This, is going to be awesome. now they are true savage beasts

How, aside from actual implimentation, is this different than plainsrunning? Putting in simple terms, Tauren would run fast instead of mount. Now, worgen will run fast instead of mount. Sure the actual abilities had a different effect but the same result. Although it will finally bring an end to all those "What will the worgen mount be?" threads.

Perhaps you can ride on the back of a worgen - then all you have to do is date one

At the moment, mount count is 100% equal thanks to a previous patch adding new mounts to both Horde and Alliance. Giving worgen Running Wild instead of actual mounts is throwing off that balance. Class balance on the other hand, in Cataclysm, Horde will have ONE more class/race option than Alliance. That's nothing.

As clarification, this is not just a running animation from my understanding. It sounds like they will have a separate running animation specifically for Running Wild.

Christ, I can hardly even IMAGINE just how fucking stupid those furries are going to look, galloping around on all fours in robes and shit.


There's goofy looking things, and then there's THAT.

Hopefully it will make them all the more satisfying to kill.

Hopefully.

Lame. I disagree with "fits very well with the nature of the worgen race." That was the point of Dark Flight. And if it "fits the nature" for them, then Plainsrunning done the same way "fits the nature" of Tauren. One of the very few things with the new content I'm a little upset about. More for the lame ass excuse of a reason than the actual implementation of it.

We need that spell for cows too. A tauren on a hawkstrider is one of the most ridiculous sights in WoW. Plus the scaling with larger mounts is waaaaaay off.
This is no mountain ... it's a tauren on a mammoth!

I, for one, didn't believe worgens could get any sweeter. I was wrong.

Try running the launcher first.

FYI, for those folks boo-hooing about Taurens and their Plainsrunning. There is a vast difference in implementation and background. Wolves are endurance runners. This makes perfect sense for Worgen. Cows are not. Cows aren't even built for that sort of running.

Who cares. Life ain't fair. And I'm Alliance saying this. Not that I think is in any way permanent, as I'm sure Blizzard will do something to cater to you whiners. Reminds me of the Hordies that used to bitch about the Winterspring faction and how Alliance had more mounts. Ravasaur was a copout, to be honest.

This is an AWESOME ability. People absolutely should not be bitching about this. Take a pill, sit back, and relax.

Stop throwing bricks in a glass building.

This is one of the most inovative things in WOW. Its not Blizzard beeing lazy, they are taking the game to a new level.

likely there will be some horses we can get via rep or something to equal out the numbers, maybe they'll have new armor.

How do I know I am downloading the patch? I mean I see nothing in the Task Manager, and when I click the backgrounddownloader.exe it tells me there is no available data for next patch.
Even so the launcher tells me there IS data available. I have checked the "download while playing and after exiting the game."

Nothing is happening, wtf?

the ability is awesome,the mountcount issue not so much

Any predictions for when this patch will actually hit live servers?

Yes! Something different!

Blizzard accurately stated that there will NOT be any race mounts from the Worgen.
