Should Gilneans get a unique Human look?

[Berndorf]

Kul Tirans still need more faces themselves. They basically got two faces at most for each gender.

[Alkizon]

Blizz's general philosophy for model updates which is to make the new models look as true to their previous iteration as possible

*watching with some bewilderment and indignation* I would have just laughed at this statement if it wasn't as untrue, as sad. Don't make me to be involved here, please.

As for the topic as a whole, I don’t see a particular problem, especially consider that character spends most of time in "combat state", and therefore still doesn't use this form. Another thing is that they're lazy greedy egoists and also dishonest ones (yes, I'm talking about design department, you aren't misheard), which means result of such request can be absolutely unexpected, so completely unpredictable (concerns as likelihood of this event and its date, as literal result).

...except I didn't say Blizzard did a great job at keeping the appearance

Causality I just made a remark/clarification (I could even refer to "same" fact as you now: that I knew that answer on my message won't take long to wait; but I won't), since you didn't bother yourself and situation required it, if only because negligence of their attitude to this work hasn't changed since (moreover, if we take it globally, this easily applies to the whole team, and not just designers). I hope I wasn't too rude, really

...besides, I didn't mean directly tastes' (like/unlike) part, but only their mutual discrepancy - changes (= difference), which leads to your statement's controversy.

Ah, of course. I knew what I said would eventually incite someone to show up and show me how wrong I am.

...except I didn't say Blizzard did a great job at keeping the appearance of the old models, just that it was their goal, and I made this point to argue that fundamentally re-designing a character model's appearance, such as what the OP is suggesting, is most likely not on the table. I know I brought this on myself by saying it, but please understand that I did not make this point just to get people to point out to me all the things they don't like about the updated character models.

Yes, but only if it turns you into Worgen when entering combat and automatically turns you out to human form when combat ends if you were in human form before entering combat.

[matrix123mko]

What market? 3 people on mmo-champ forums? No one ever uses gilnean human form in game, they would better use that developement time to add more hairstyles and customisation to the actualy worgen form.

You propably don't use RP servers.

Then people would protest because of "muh freedom".

Funny you say that, because I play on RP server. And my point stands.

[Cosmic Janitor]

Pointless as long as getting in combat forces you into worgen form instantly. I hated that from the very beginning, you can't even properly RP the damn race because of it.

[Directionalk9]

Un-cursed Gilnean option in creation similar to Orc postures... then implement OP’s idea.

[Dakara]

I'd love a more human looking Worgen form instead.

This, particularly for Casters.

[TheProphetLord]

It would be nice but it isn’t going to happen. The Worgen model updates will be best we get for a long time.

[Ealyssa]

I'd rather resources go into class development than a form no one will use

You understand those are two different professions, filled by different persons, right ? Right ?

[khazlol]

things i hope for with the worgen update is upright male worgen and the option to have glowing eyes on both genders

[Th3Scourge]

You understand those are two different professions, filled by different persons, right ? Right ?

It was more tongue in cheek comment, but yes, they are two resources.

For now.

[Vargulf the Happy Husky]

i wouldn't be upset if worgen human form had some different, scruffier beard and hair styles.

i don't come out of worgen mode very often, though.

[Khaza-R]

Well Ion did say last summer they may make it possible for Worgen to have an option to auto-transform back to human when ooc. So if that’s the case I’m all for some unique hairstyles and maybe even some scars

[Cobman]

So many flaws in these arguments where to begin. First it's not even a question of if worgens should get an update model or not before humans (nvm that humans already got updated once /shrug), since Blizzard already said that the update was happening so I'm not sure what regular human models have to do with anything here. Second his example was spot on, since what do resto/boomkin druids (that are glyphed even) matter to a player who mains feral or bear? That is akin to saying DKs shouldn't get good looking armor bc shamans already do? They are not the same player and obviously should not be punished because the other exists.

But thirdly races are arguably the one thing in the game that can be chosen 100% based on visuals (idc what neckbeards are doing trying to min/max that extra 1% dps I'm talking about your average player), so I don't understand your logic there

Some shite you tslking here. Human model was updated in WoD with all other races (goblin/worgen didnt). Same human model is used on worgens human form, that is updated one. What op wanted is to have distinctive human form model for worgen players with scars/fangs whatever, so i said its stupid to update only worgens human side when there is whole race that uses that form, therefore human. Because worgen can use same customization but lets be real nothing will be updated so what ever.

Now dk and shaman example is from other dimension. Did you even read? Lets say 25% of druid players play as other spec, therefore atleast 50% of druids gonna enjoy their new armor models and when u look at worgen players, 99% of them wont even notice new updated worgen human model because simlpy you dont change forms, heck i never changed form for my worgen. Only people in rp servers do that shit. So to spent resources for that 1% of playerbase is not logical. Whats not to understand?

[Rendark]

Please this, I'd love to play as a Gilnean Human.

I'm not a Alliance fan at all but a Gilnean hunter with his mastiff would be sick.

[Athredas]

Standard human should just get a choice of Kul Tiran/Gilnean/Stormwind voice over and log in screen background.

[Hallowseve17]

The developers should take a page out of Dungeons & Dragons and make all the human groups unique. If you ever delve deep into Dungeon & Dragons research, you can see that all humans ethnic groups are different appearance-wise (for the most part) and culturally. The best example in WoW that I can find so far is Makasa Flintwill (https://wow.gamepedia.com/Makasa_Flintwill) from the Traveler books. She has dark skin and her ancestors are from Stromgarde. Making the humans unique like this adds extra flavor to the world and could even open up more customization options down the road. You can also look at the Gilnean concept arts (https://wow.gamepedia.com/Worgen_(playable)#Gallery).

they wont do it, but it would be nice.
