I know lots of everyone I know right now still enjoy WoW. But I gotta say I’m really glad I’m over that game because nothing besides the new troll models and the mounts is appealing to me that I’ve seen of the upcoming patch. The tier is ugly, the female mogu are gross, the lore behind the raid sounds stupid, etc.

The troll models are cool, I think they’re spifftastic. But are they going to be playable models? They’ve been promising player-character model updates for ages and ages and all I’ve seen is NPC model updates. So while I enjoy the models as I’ve seen them I’m still not that thrilled because they’re probably just NPC models and we can only stare and wish they were playable. Sadness. 

I mean, enjoy your game. I’ll enjoy mine. Everyone is happy! I’ll still look forward to the day when more people migrate to GW2 permanently. 😛 

To be fair, the character model updates have been a WIP since MoP was announced. They have to redesign 16 models and create a new animation set for each of them. There are over one hundred animations for each of those models, so that’s over a thousand animations to create. On top of all that, they have to figure out how gear is going to sit on these new models as well. There’s a lot of work that goes into making just one new model and they have sixteen to make. And considering model updates aren’t content like, say, a raid, they’re inevitably going to fall lower on the priority list than content does.

You also have to remember that the player models and animations are the ones that get seen several orders of magnitude more than anything else in the game so anything that doesn’t look right is going to be noticed fairly quickly, especially since we’ve been staring at the old animations for 8 years now.

I’d just like to point out how positively angry it makes me when people roleplay their worgen as being “feral.” Be it worgen with either “super feral traits!” or people who actually roleplay their worgen as being feral (lol), it’s still equally retarded.

There’s also the Worgen Death Knights, who have a bit of different lore.

They’re escaped Arugal-Worgen. So technically feral.
However, it’s possible that when they were raised by Arthas, they got humanity back?
(They’re somehow able to go from worgen->human without the night elf ritual)
And no, you can’t go claiming you’re a different pack of Worgen death knight.
They’re only Arugal ones from Silverpine/Shadowfang. And they probably made the Knights of the Ebon Blade their new pack in undeath.

Worgen DKs just don’t make lore sense, really. When you do the quest where you kill someone you know from your past life, the entire thing is like, “REMEMBER YOUR HOME, REMEMBER GILNEAS!” when it makes no sense for you to be a Gilnean. They use the Gilnean voice sets in and out of worgen form with DK distortion. The game tries to portray them as Gileans like the rest of the sane worgen, but there’s no good explanation as to how the hell they’re Gilnean but also death knights.

They’re lore abominations, really. I’ve only met one person who played one well.

If you assume that Pyrewood village and the area around Shadowfang keep was a part of Gilneas before the Greymane Wall was erected it makes sense. Especially since all this worgen business with Arugal happened during the Third War.
