on the side: has the ground effect of Incarnation always been so big and dense for balance druids?
i run around with a bubbling puddle under me as a Zandalari druid. annoying as hell-.-
Well I for one am glad they didnt waste time on unique dancing animation for literally one race/class/spec combo in the game that has zero effect on gameplay and matters to maybe 0.05% of their playerbase.
They could have done a balance form with the same silhouette as the chicken, but a dinosaur, like a bulky humanoid triceratops or something
Haven't seen the Zandalari one, but at least for the KT it definitely is noticeable with all the glowing and the longer hood. It's more subtle than the huge armor regular moonkins get, but that's part of why I like it. Looks more like a beefier version of what they are, and less like someone shoved a bunch of armor on.
For a sec there I thought we'd make it a full page before we hit the "good you deserve it because you got X and we didn't" as if unfinished or under-polished additions to the game has anything to do with the factions at all. The overall fidelity of the game and additions to it should matter more than your infinitely childish bullshit about factions. Stop being so petty over allegiances that aren't real.
PS - Kul Tirans are the only allied race with completely unique rigs, which, incidentally, doesn't apply to just one of their classes. (:

That's what it really boils down to, as this is a time versus cost decision. Despite what the armchair developers will say, it takes a lot of time and resources to pump out Kul Tirans themselves, let alone address all the niche details, in the amount of time they did. While I see some people blaming financial overlords or something similar, the catalyst is actually the players demanding more content in less time... and that comes at a price.
Anyways, I thought it would be cool if these new moonkin forms got dances, and they might at a later time. Blizz probably did make the right decision to release the new Allied races now instead of holding them longer just because moonkin forms don't have dances or emotes, since most people won't even both with such things.

Except Kul Tirans are still just a bear, big cat, bird, and walrus(?). Plus Kul Tirans don't dominate in terms of how many classes they can be with the exception of DKs and DHs. You're literally downplaying the fact that Zandalari get Dinosaurs. I'm actually not as tore up about faction imbalance as you boldy assume but I think not having a dance for one of the druid forms is a fair trade off for the race with the most race/class combination and having literal dinomancers.

Secondly, some of you haven't checked my druid forms guide on wowhead. It gives you list of all the forms for all races and you can clearly see Znadalari Incarnation form. You can also preview them in model viewer. Just like with older races it's exactly the same as the base moonkin form just with more armor. How can you not notice that your almost naked character gets way more armor? It's less noticable on Kul Tirans, where all they get is just some green glow around them.
We are suppose to find a way to blame this on the fans.. so..
IF YOU GUYS WOULDNT HAVE PUSHED SO HARD FOR THE RACES TO BE RELEASED BEFORE THEY WERE READY WE COULD HAVE HAD THESE THINGS!!
There we go. Mission accomplished.
