We want to add some more excitement to your day. Remember when we said that we’ve set our sights on Highmountain Tauren next? Well… those new customization options for Highmountain Tauren are currently targeted to be implemented in time for 9.1.5! Here’s a sneak peek at some of those options.

    Feels kinda underwhelming, especially compared to what Void Elves got and they're still getting even more this pass.

    Would be quite nice if all humans (Stormwind, Gilneas, and Kul'Tirans) could choose which of the three body types to use (normal, thin, or fat).

    Yeah, would be really nice if we could get stuff like having a blind eye that was clawed out, or a disfigured muzzle that shows more teeth, etc.

    Where is this happening? On some secret forum? I would like to see screenshots...

    Possibly on the PTR forum.

    Or heck, the live forum from people on PTR.

    With all the shit recently even this feels..lackluster, nothing rly major and even the fur colors are disappointing, where is the full white color too?

    It would be nice if they at least made the druid forms be based around their fur color too, it always pissed me off when the full black tauren became a black lion with a white mane.

    I love this new stuff for HM taurens. The tail accessories was something I never knew I wanted but now I want it very much! Also love the dangly bits in the hair.

    Wish we got a few more actual cow looking faces though. Since they remade the models they have been looking a lot like horses and a lot less like cows sadly.

    i love this forum, some people think wow was once the best mmorpg with 12m players (which it never had).
    during that 12m peak i alone had 20 accounts for "automated reasons", i knew guys with 100´s of accounts "automating stuff".
    + bonusfact, most people bought a 2nd acc to RAF themselves to get the ugly zhevra mount.

    blizzard games were always mediocre, and they will always stay that.
    enjoy this game which never had more than 5m real players

    Will wait for the day they "restart" this game alla eso of ff.
    Wow.
    Guys I think we did it.
    We found it.
    The most sad and insecure post ever on the website.
    Congratulations.

    Eh, there are quite a few contenders for that position. A few posters in the Star Citizen thread, or the Wildstar thread. Or on the FFXIV subforum. Though it's more of the opposite where instead of doomsaying, they're sadly clinging on to a game they worship.

    Unpopular opinion but I couldn't care less about all these customization features for races I don't play anyway, seems like a waste of resources that should go to more real content.

    I just went and looked on both General and the PTR forums. No screenshots. I am convinced ActiBlizz has a super secret forum that only the illuminati can post in

    "BACK IN MAH DAY" Good for you gramps, now get back to the nursing home.

    Regular tauren already got a lot of customizations with the SL pre-patch.

    All the Allied Races are getting new options. They just started with the four oldest ones.

    I am going to tell you, most of this stuff was already made probably before SL even launched and they knew shit was going to hit the fan at some point and saved stuff to make them look busy to save face, Blizzard you dirty little Hobgoblin.

    I mean, aside of pretty much every .5 patch? Not counting WoD one that introduced selfies and twitter (never gets old).

    Mists had non-raid patches in between the raid ones, with new scenarios (yeah, I know), quests, lore and systems.
    Legion had a minor in-between patch with new dungeon and Trial of Valor.
    BfA had 8.1.5, again - new quests, story, miniraid.

    Shadowlands so far is the one "breaking the cycle", so to say. So far only the big tier patches offer something new (so release and 9.1), anything in between is either system fixes, balance or Highmountains with 1 horn cut off. Not complaining, having character who looks like his neck is going to snap any second is kind of funny.

    I'm glad to hear that HM tauren players won't have to wait for customizations!

    That is both hilariously conspirical, and also hilariously false.

    These have been in the works since aparently patch 9.0.5 for some of this stuff.

    That totem tail looks ridiculous. Going to put it on as soon as it's available.

    What legion .5 patch had a new dungeon? Also trial of Valor came out with 7.1 not 7.1.5
    The only stuff that came in 7.1.5 was micro holidays, the new brawl season, mop time walking, and the updated blades edge arena.

    Also what "systems" came out in mop during .5 patch? Also systems are not content.
    Also pandaria has zero .5 patches so what the fuck you talking about?
    Pandaria had 1 .5 patch, but that was the patch the game launched on. It had ZERO minor patches.
    https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Patch
    Wod had more content in their minor patches. As their 6.2.3 introduced time walking.
    My dude, gunna talk out your ass for an entire post, atleast do SOME research, come on man.

    Yeah 8.1.5 had a 2 boss raid, that made it an exception. Not the norm.
    And yeah it had quests, so will this patch aparently.

    I love how you say "every .5 patch ever" but then list only 3 examples of them. 2 of them being right out lies.
