Please take a look.

 

But hasn't this been WoW's artform all along? Bright colors and over-exaggerated charicature sizes? I think it looks to be on par with all the other artwork from WoW.

I played and enjoyed wow for a bit over two years. While the art was never something to write home about I dont remember it being this bad. But then again,  perhaps the art was overlooked due to the fun being had?

The Worgen forms look okay. The Troll ones absolutely hilarious.

 

Anyways, since Shamans get royal shafted in Cataclysm i'll just level my Night Elf hunter to the new level cap.

 

And here is the 1 million dollar question: how the hell are going the  Undead hunters feign death??!!

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 has been mentioned. Despite the playerbase wanting to have worgen transform into wolves, blizzard will continue to make it kitty form to coincide with other druids.

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*

And guess where we got the dogs from...? /golfclap. Due to Alliance' Worgen being tame (or at least more so than usual), you can see why he called them dogs.

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.

If I had wanted to simply call them for the breed I could just say wolves, etc. But just to generally refer to a canine etc dogs is commonly used term for wolf,collie,st. bernard... list goes on. Just a generalization of species with many breeds, I know there's differences in domesticated,color etc. but yea it's not something you could stroke your e-peen over by trying to call me out for generalizing something.

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 ;-)

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??!!

They feign destruction.

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.

 

 

Doesn't look that horrible to me.

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...

Those forms are merely OK imho.

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.

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