Cata Travel Forms

[starvethedead]

Since there will be updated travel forms for each race, here is what I predict:

Night Elf
STAG

• It is widely speculated that the original intention was for this form to be a stag but was changed at the last minute, explaining the odd hoof-shaped icon...
• Native to Night Elf lands.
• Nelf Moonkin have Stag Antlers, in contrast to Taurens' Horns.

Tauren
TALLSTRIDER

• Native to Tauren lands.
• Striders are tall, strong hunters, like Tauren.
• They are renowned for their running ability.

Troll
RAPTOR

• Native to Troll lands.
• Speed.

Worgen
WORG (Northrend Model)
Obvious reasons.

Since each form usually takes on characteristics of the race, I'm not sure if a Tauren/Strider mix would appeal to many people.

Like I said, they are tall and muscular.

Tallstriders are large, flightless birds of prey that look to kill anything they can outrun or overpower. They have a pair of muscular legs, and their vestigial wings flutter as they walk. Their thick hairless necks swing about a head ending in a heavy, sharp beak as they hunts for prey. Renowned for their speed, tallstriders are difficult to shake for those trying to flee them. They resemble 6-foot tall ostriches with strong, thick necks and heavy, sharp beaks

Besides you can't have something as bulky as a cow and expect it to be light on its feet. As far as features go..horns anyone? Tallstrider makes perfect sense for Travel Form imo.

It was in the Druid Class Q&A (http://blue.mmo-champion.com/2/18600...ies-druid.html)

Q: For the official word, do we have plans to update more druid form models at some point in the future?

Ghostcrawler: I know for a fact that the current Travel Form and Aquatic Form are loathed by the artist who redid bear and cat. We do have plans to update additional forms at some point in the future.

Yeah...fyi "somepoint in the future" means..."somepoint in the future".

Guess what? A few years ago....when people complained about how extremely shitty the druid forms were [especially horde side] guess what their response was? "we have plans to change that, somepoint in the future"

Wouldn't hold your breath for travel forms changing in Cata.
