Surprised no one has mention the retarded fact Were-wolves "Worgen" are shapeshifting into cats. I know blizz is lazy but honestly they could and should rip off ghost wolf model, redo some colors for Worgen's "Kitty" form. don't have to change the abilities just the model via that race. Really stupid seeing a dog turn into a kitty form.
It is not a dog...its a wolf
Sorry to tell you this but a wolf is a ..... dog. :P
And yea I know blizzard wouldn't really do it due to that fact. much like they'll never do anything the playerbase wants. Unless ofcourse it involves a pvp nerf QQfest. then they'll break other mechanics to fix that alone and ignore what it'll do to pve, and vice versa. *shrugs*
lol...no a wolf is not a dog..
A wolf and a dog are both Canidae but they are not the same thing...it’s like saying a domestic cat is a tiger.
Canidae refers to the family (often refered to as the dog family), but Wolf is Canis lupus (grey wolf) or Canis rufus (red wolf) and domestic dog is Canis familiaris (your dog Fido). Yes I am a biologist by both trade and training. That aside, in the picture it the Worgen in bear form (according to Blizzard). Enjoy ;-)
On subject though: I actually love the troll cat form :] I like the tusks, haha. Worgen forms look too much like a mix between a cat and wolf; still neat though.
Gotta love it when the Marketing Department drives the lore as strongly as they do now at Blizzard. The game will obviously still be successful for a while, but really, they're long past the point of having interesting ideas.
ur not gonna see new mookin forms blizz already said that the worgen and trolls will use the current/new tree and moonkin forms as per all druids getting a new moonkin form don't hold ur breath on that they have said they would like to but its not a high priority which means 2-5 years before it happens lol

Troll and Worgen druids... and Tauren paladins... and Undead hunters... !!! /sigh
Trolls could shapeshift since ever, at least the NPC ones. And since according to lore they are related to night elves or something, having troll druids ain't so weird. And worgens are natural shapeshifters too. And about the undead: they are basically humans that died to the plague and got their own mind, or not? And since human hunters make sense, why should undead hunters make no sense?
Anyways, since Shamans get royal shafted in Cataclysm i'll just level my Night Elf hunter to the new level cap.
I personally think that it's kinda silly to create or play a char only because the chars class is currently buffed by a patch. Sooner or later another patch will nerf that char again. It's always an up and down.
And here is the 1 million dollar question: how the hell are going the Undead hunters feign death??!!
I think the forms look alright. The engine of WoW is pretty dated, and for that it's ok.
I think the troll ones seem to look worse than they are, because they have pretty bright colors AND are all on a pile on the image. If they are a bit apart and not just thrown together, they are not that bad imho.
it's new, hence "news"... i doubt anyone finds it impressive (but then i doubt most people engage their brain in WoW threads for more than 2 seconds here).
The engine is old, and come cata they have tried to update some parts of it (you gotta admitt the new water effects look good considering).
Old engine, semi decent newness.... and still none of the other MMO's can touch blizzard.
you gotta laugh, did we pick the wrong genre to support... haha...

The worgen forms look a bit too rabid. Tone down the crazed glowy eye look and have a dentist take a look at the poor bear and straighten those teeth out a bit. Add some more worgen like accessories rather than pieces of spiky armor which makes me think they belong to the horde rather than the alliance. Some of the troll forms are a wee bit too crazy on the color scheme, but I think they did a decent job on the models at least. I still think tauren has the best looking bear form and night elves the best looking cat form.
As for moonkins, I sure hope they at least give us a different skin so that worgen/night elf and tauren/troll won't look identical. In fact, it baffles me that they're not giving us new moonkin forms in Cata. For some reason, they have no trouble finding the artists to crank out all these new models of monsters, NPCs, pets, mounts and what not... yet they don't have the manpower to provide us with new druid forms. It's kinda sad, because most of the time, that's what I'm looking at. My druid form. It's only when hanging out in Dalaran and such that I get to look at my gear. When out killing mobs, bashing other players or running instances/raids, I'm always looking at either a furry butt, feathery butt or splintery butt.
Oh well... can't always win I guess.

recently I'm back to WOW and then cranked up my settings (now I got a powerful comp)
The graphic isn't bad at all, while I admit if there are more shadows and such !!!! I can't imagine there will be even better graphics in the upcoming expansion.

The troll druid forms would be the only thing to make me actually play a troll! Wild!
As for undead hunter

Some of u ppl r saying they look retarded? rofl... have u seen the forms that are in place now? THESE R EPIC!
I loved trolls in WOW, and always wished my druid could of been a troll.
Those are absolutely hideous, tho. The kitty trolls, that is. The worgen models aren't bad, but the trolls, wow.
The trolls look like punk rockers, that's pretty cool. The worgen are just...meh

Lets stay on topic.

I'm dissapointed. Those are some very boring, uninspired looking forms.

Let's play Fallen Earth (blind, 300 episodes)
Let's play Guild Wars 2 (blind, 45 episodes)
Am I really the first person saying this? Anyone think the Troll cat form looks pretty much exactly like Red XIII from Final Fantasy?

Doesn't look that horrible to me.

I thought they would look like the tiger as per that latest quests on Echo Isle
Ugh looks like some kid ate a box of neon crayons and threw up on those troll forms >.<
Cats with funny haircuts.. and someone finds this impressive?
Gimme a tree
worgen forms definatly look better than any other form coming out or currently out in the game imo
it's new, hence "news"... i doubt anyone finds it impressive (but then i doubt most people engage their brain in WoW threads for more than 2 seconds here).

The water effects are pretty good, but in my opinion it just looks completely out of place in WoW's cartoon art style.

Finally there is a reason to try WoW.
