MY GOD! FINALLY!

And hilariously, they won't be doing tree forms until later, and travel forms possibly won't be done ever. Fun stuff, eh?

Better then nothing

GOD Finally!!

though this is a mere minor change...
I was sincerely thinking of a total re-design of the shapes..
pity.

but im keeping hopes up

Well, if you take a closer look, the shapes are now smoother and more precise.

I go and there are new form models.... coincidence?

knew you'd regret leaving..
Blizz emediately started missing you.. and with good reason
come back to uzz Emmy *hugs*

hehe

Naaaaa its really nice to come home and just vegetate and not worry about having to raid lead or deal with people who really didnt give a smeg.

I don't understand why I did it for so long.

The new designs look much better than the old one... smoother details. And finally, not three, but four claws on each foot - though real bears have five, but it still looks less ridiculous.
I wonder if the female tauren cat form will still have a mane... it was so masculine, I mean, they should turn into a lioness instead.

You'll be able to visit the barber to change your hair color (skin tone for Tauren) and that will change the look of your bear and cat form based on the color choice. You'll be able to change as often as you like as long as you pay the barber's fee.

Also, in the screenshots the bears are roaring, but when just sitting normally, their mouths will close in a toothy grin so to speak.

the last part is also nice to know
bleh, though im still quite picky on the color of things..
I hope I'll like Drakonis' bearform, I wouldnt like to be forced to change hairstyle/color..

I know the feeling, not playing WoW for a while is really freeing.
But back in the days, I could easely combine WoW with RL. And not raiding, but RPing is less stressful aswell!
So come back and RP.

I'm spending my free time working on the RP and downtime stuff for my drow - writing journal entries and forumlating her thoughts a little more clearly.

While I loved RPing in WoW when I did it, when I came back to SSL the thoughts of starting all over again were daunting to say the least. I kinda like raiding.

I kinda hate raiding, I always was to chaotic, unsure, and I wanted to be done fast..
One of the reasons I left Silverwing Outrunners. But to bad to quit the whole game. Keepers of the Grove would fit perfectly for you!

Speaking from the 'outside', I would imagine raiding can be very fun: at times. However, the *constant* nature of it, the fact you *have* to deal with (at times) min/maxers and a-social twats, would make it more like a job for me than anything else. A casual raid now and then sounds fun; doing it regularly, having to enforce the rules so it all *works*, that to me sounds like a job. I even laugh at those recruitment posts which *do* sound a like a job description. If you pay me bruv, hell maybe I'll comply!

It is fun, but leading the guild and raids was a second full time job. It helped me in some ways- leading has increased my confidence and assertiveness in the real world, I can 'read' people a lot better than I could and have a way better grasp on the motivators that people have... and to a lesser extent how you can bend people to your will.

Now if I was paid to do it then great- best job ever. But as it was I already work very long hours with my real-life job it had to give.

I couldnt see myself in a guild looking at my old council members raiding Ulduar and not slip into old routines.

I was going to join EoL on my return to SSL, but I couldn't honestly do that and not end up playing too much again

But three claws makes sense.. Taurens have, like trolls, three fingers. It's likely such a detail that you'd easily carry over when creating a new shape for yourself. Just as the way taurens bring along their horns to their cat and bear form. Did nelf bears also have three claws?

Yeah, the original bear model of WoW - the bear mobs as well as the druid forms - had three claws. I wonder if they change the bear mobs' claws too?

Here you go Tauren Kittehz!

hmmmmm?

Wow
The new tauren shapes look awesome!
I like the bottom left one the most

They will take some getting used to, I think.. The only real problem I have with them is that they feel very masculine. It will feel odd to see my little Cloudsong as one of those.

i always thought they looked too macsulince tbh (give, Lioness plox! ), but at least you now have a choice of colours
