No New Heritage Armor in 8.2.5
Blizzard had stated in a previous Rise of Azshara interview that both Worgen and Goblins would be receiving their heritage armor with their model updates. This has now been confirmed as not happening in 8.2.5.

I can confirm that 8.2.5 does not include any new Heritage Armor questlines.

Free T-Shirt Day Micro-Holiday
The Free T-Shirt Day Micro-Holiday is now active for the day!

  • An NPC marked on your map with a rare mob icon wanders around either The Valley of Honor (Orgrimmar) or the Dwarven District (Stormwind).
  • The NPC carries a t-shirt gun and periodically launches one. A t-shirt appears on the ground that becomes clickable.
  • Clicking the shirt gives you either:
    • A blue item called "Free T-Shirt" that visually removes the upper portions of your armor to expose the shirt you are wearing underneath. You can only use this item if you are wearing a shirt in the slot.
    • A variety of cosmetic shirts
  • You can also find NPCs around the world who will sell you t-shirts for free!
    • Winterspring (59, 50) - Shirtsi Clothpatch - Shirtsi's Cloth Shirt (Kalimdor)
    • Eastern Plaguelands (74, 52) - Melvin Shirtson - Threads of Tirion (Eastern Kingdoms)
    • Shattrath (67 27) - Selis Silksong - Selis' Silk Shirt (Outland)

    Unless the Worgen Heritage is so spoilery about Gilneas City's future that they had to push it back a little. Undead and Worgen living together in Gilneas in next expac, that would be cool
    They would not get along with the Undead bombing their city and killing their king's son.

    You are the person the "I was promised a pony" meme was invented to mock. Blizzard says "We're thinking of doing this, or we're planning on doing this." Then when things don't go that way or they change their mind you cry "You lied to us/you promised us!"

    Just joking. I have said before, Worgens and Night Elves using a revamped Gilneas City, updated and used as a main city hub, that would be cool. It was more in line of faction merge we are hyping up :P

    Keep White Knighting for the Multi-Billion dollar company, cparle87. They definitely need it. If you're a developer and choose to give an interview you should damn well know better than to say things you can't back up because people WILL call you out on it.

    Go down to the "Transmog, Customization & Goblin / Worgen Models" section and read the first like 5 sentences.
    Like I said. Blizzard never said 8.2.5 - They said SHORTLY AFTER ... and the community decided that was 8.2.5 and now wants to throw a stink over something they invented.

    "Transmog, Customization & Goblin / Worgen Models

    Goblin and Worgen fans will be pleased to hear that the long-awaited model update for each will be arriving in a future content patch.

    “Shortly after Rise of Azshara, you’ll see that,” Morgan explained. “These are the two races that haven’t been updated. They’ll have new heritage armor with that as well.”

    They probably couldn’t find a single fucking thing that looks remotely decent on a worgen.

    My main is worgen and he just looks shit in everything, transmog is a huge part of the game I just can’t play.

    Lol, calling me a white knight is hilarious in itself. A lot of my posts are shitting on the shitstorm that is BfA. If im going to complain about something though, it's not going to be what was probably an innocent delay, it'll be actual core systems of the game or times when blizzard is actually lying or misleading (WoD's entire patch cycle for instance). Ever read the boy who cried wolf? Same concept applies here. Cry about everything and it cheapens the real complaints. So yes, continue to be a whiny, entitled little shit by all means.

    Again, plans change, if you can't deal with that, maybe you shouldnt try to gain information about future patches before their release because you're bound to get disappointed at some point. Especially if you latch onto a tiny issue like heritage armor.

    PEOPLE are gonna be pissed! Though this makes you wonder what else does 8.2.5 bring as content other then the models and the campaign.

    It's almost as if they've decided that any press is better than none...
    That was so poorly worded I'm amazed it was allowed or wasn't met with a correction.

    This statement is clearly indicating the heritage armor is coming with the model update - key phrase 'they’ll have new heritage armor with that as well'

    They said it
    Yes they said shortly after rise of Azshara model updates were coming and heritage armor as well. It doesn't imply the exact same patch release, you have inferred that. And it certainly doesn't say patch 8.2.5

    I mean, I am not defending it but I would rather the heritage armor be quality over being rushed.

    At the time of the interview it was already known for half a year that the model updates for Goblins and Worgen would come with 8.2.5, so the implication was obviously that the heritage armor would also be introduced in 8.2.5, going by that interview.

    Who would want armor that is exclusive to Worgen when everyone knows that Worgen always look like shit?

    You're making assumptions. Being told "we're planning on" or "we're thinking of doing" is not a promise or a commitment. Remember the "Ghostcrawler promised me a pony" meme? It exists for a reason.

    Hope this doesn't mean we will have to wait until next xpac for the rest of the races.

    Except there was no "thinking" or "planned", it was definitive. This is the exact quote:

    Goblin and Worgen fans will be pleased to hear that the long-awaited model update for each will be arriving in a future content patch.

    “Shortly after Rise of Azshara, you’ll see that,” Morgan explained. “These are the two races that haven’t been updated. They’ll have new heritage armor with that as well.”
    Sure, "with" could mean at the same time (the implied meaning) or in succession of and "that" doesn't have to mean the models' release itself but to the update in general. So, they could be delivering this in 8.3, and could even include a bigger event with the Gilneas hints we've seen. But to say it was communicated as anything but definitive is just blind, uninformed fanboyism at work. If you actually cared to be objective, you'd check before stating otherwise.

    I personally am fine with it being delayed (though upset if it was then shelved permanently). I'd rather have the new models get more attention with revisions and the patch be delivered faster. Unfortunately there's people that cling to anything negative from Blizzard as an excuse to either just blindly hate or defend.
