Can we get our "promised" new Worgen models?
- Update: Post continues here due to cap: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/20743555494 -
Not actually a promise, however when it's officially posted on the official World of Warcraft website during the official 6.0.2 WoD launch: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/16365525 - "Blood Elves, Goblins, and Worgen are planned to be updated at a future point in time",
then followed up later by Blizzard's own Lead Game Designer, Ion Hazzikostas, making a statement during a Warlords of Draenor Launch event that Blood Elves, Worgens, and Goblins will get an updated model also: https://youtu.be/7wnNAYQzYWs?t=56m50s , then it may as well be taken as a serious statement from Blizzard, especially when it's posted on the official website.
Eventually the Blood Elves got their new models, but since then, there has only been complete silence about updates for the Worgen (and Goblin) Models.
Now that we're 2 major patches into and now at the end of the Warlords of Draenor expansion, soon to be entering Legion, I believe this could of be a great time for a Worgen update, especially when you consider that Genn Greymane and Worgens are playing a significant role in Legion.
If you have seen any Legion gameplay footage of the Alliance starting quest on the Broken Isles, one thing you may immediately notice is a heavy Worgen presence. Literally mobs of Worgens charging the beaches of the Broken Isles along side your character, then later on when you're meeting your new King, the former Prince Anduin, as your quest brings you back in Stormwind, you'll also notice the heavy Worgen Presence all over Stormwind Keep; Worgen NPCs walking around, conversing, standing guard, etc, all the way along the paths and stairs leading up to Stormwind Keep and inside.
So due to the heavy Worgen presence and with Genn Greymane playing a major role in Legion, I believe this could serve as a great opportunity to introduce new Worgen models.
Because let's face it, no one has been completely satisfied with the Worgen models since their introduction in Cataclysm. For example, the female's permanent Chihuahua-like snarl has always been the top complaint, then their lack of a tail option, their lack of eye color option (like the alpha version of Worgens had), some armor/helms not looking proper on Worgens, and the Male Worgen's misaligned animations with certain animations (i.e. the 2h melee animation/front flip appearing to miss their target completely), they are all issues brought up from time and time again, over and over for the past 6 years.
Legion is perfect for a new Worgen update, please make it happen.
