Things you hate about worgen
Return to board index
Post by

I've seen a lot of people create lots of threads about their hatred for worgen and/or some things they hate about worgen. Worgen seem to be getting the same treatment the blood elves have been suffering since the Burning Crusade. So I decided to make an
official 'things you hate about worgen' thread
.
So express all your hatred for worgen or things about worgen here. If you are trying to defend worgen, please stay out of this thread. Make this a sticky if you like.
I'll go first. Though I do not hate worgen in general, there are some things I hate about worgen. They are:
1 - that they can transform to/from humans just like generic werewolves
2 - permanent snarl on face
3 - male worgen dance
4 - that they don't have their own 2nd levelling zone (ie they go to darkshore after gilneas)
5 - that they don't get their own capital city
6 - that they don't have their own mounts
7 - that they get running wild because Blizzard didn't have any idea about what mounts they should give them and trying to justify running wild seems perfect for them. For me, running on all fours, a - when you have fingers on fore limbs, b - are wearing gloves/gauntlets, c - your fore limbs are shorter than your hind limbs, doesn't make any sense at all. But, in a fantasy game where you can shoot fireballs and stuff, I don't think this is so crazy.
8 - they don't get paladins even though they are former humans
Probably I'll add some more. Its your chance to express your hatred now!

4 - that they don't have their own 2nd levelling zone (ie they go to darkshore after gilneas)
this is because they kinda DO have 2 zones, the first 5 lvls are spent in the capital of gilneas, and the other lvls to 12 are spent in the countryside of the gilnean kingdom.
besides, the gilnean kingdom is actually much bigger than the lost isle from the goblins.
2 - permanent snarl on face
this is simply people who are imposible to please. With the first model people complained that they were too cute, too anime-like, too cartoonish, not fierce enough.
now with the new model that is actually fierce, menacing and all that, people whine about the snarl, and if they change that, people will complain about something else.
this all boils down to what bill cosby said:
"
I dunno the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone
."
wiser words have never been spoken bro'

The face on the female model. Notice "face," singular: The only difference between the face options is the markings. And said face looks somewhere between Goofy and a lapdog that chases parked cars. (The alpha version was better.)
The ears on the female model, most of which look like elf or goblin ears.
The fact that the female model
still
looks like she's either got a beer gut or shouldn't be adventuring in her condition.
The fact that the female voice sounds like
the Bouvier sisters
. (And before anyone gets on me for this: there are several female worgen NPCs who sound gruff and throaty
without
sounding like chain-smokers.)
The female idle stance for Running Wild is vile.
The fact that human form is inextricably tied to worgen form, and some of the parallels don't really make much sense. (A worgen with the "barbarian" hairstyle in human form, for example, should still have pigtails in worgen form. A worgen with the "tomboy" haircut should still have a short mane. Last I checked, this wasn't the case.)
The fact that I keep hearing people screeching about "furries." Please, just
shut up
about "furries" already.
Related to previous: the fact that people keep screeching about female worgen looking "too sexy" (or, conversely, accusing those of us who preferred the alpha model of
wanting
them to look "sexy"). Sure, the alpha model was more
elegant
and less awkward-looking aside from the incongruous hair (not to mention the fact that it looked more like a
wolf
), but that's about it. And why are you projecting "sexy" onto fuzzy werewolf snoots anyway?

That stupid sniff noise they make. It is obnoxious.

The only thing I really hate about them is the weird chihuahua face on their women - but even that I'm reserving final judgement on until I see it in action. If it's as bad as it looks in the screenshots? My token werewolf is going to be one of my few male characters. I kind of love what they did with them.
(I expect my goblin to become my new main, so I'm not
that
worried.Things rarely go as planned though, so who knows.)

it looks like Goofy in a bad mood

If i hear one twilight reference while I am playing, I will abandon the alliance, get a horde toon to lvl 85 on a pvp realm, and constantly gank all worgen players until twilight finally dies.
Welcome to the Horde.

Worgen /silly - "At least we don't sparkle."

I think the original faces were too fox-like and I could see them in a Disney film.Wait,
what
? The original female faces actually looked like
wolves
, as opposed to like peevish Pomeranians. I have no idea how
anyone
could look at that and see Maid Marian.

JackDark will be my worgen (FleaBag is taken).
BellaGoose - my friend human female
Now we need an EdCool and the triangle will be complete.

this
every time I read his posts.

Oh my. Really though, I'd be happy with some relatively simple changes... like raising the bridge of the nose and getting rid of those eyes. If the men get glowing eyes, why don't the women? I know the Alliance have a ton of glowy eyed people already and all, but they'd look so much better with them.
Something more like this (warning, terrible photoshop):

but uh, what is this thread hoping to accomplish?
It's a discussion board. People discuss things. :)
