wow New Goblin & Worgen Models Coming in Patch 8.2.5

[Stan 5,240]

Goblins and Worgen will have their models updated in World of Warcraft's upcoming Patch 8.2.5. Blizzard also confirmed they're next in line for Heritage Armor!

Their models haven't been updated since Cataclysm, which makes them the oldest models in the game right now. At last year's BlizzCon, Blizzard revealed a preview of new Goblin and Worgen models, which are slated for Patch 8.2.5.

Note that this is a work in progress and the models we're going to see in 8.2.5 may be completely different.

Goblins

The new model makes Goblins look more neutral and not angry all the time. Blizzard has done a lot of work, improving their limbs, eyes, mouth, and the grin while casting looks really cool.

Worgen

Here we have new Worgen models. The male model looks fiercer and the female model no longer resembles a fox, but I still don't get it why the female model's using Human eyes. It looks way too cartoonish and doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Heritage Armor

In Rise of Azshara, Gnomes and Tauren got their Heritage Armor and the good news is that both Goblins and Worgen are next in line for Heritage Armor with their model updates. If you main a Goblin or a Worgen, Patch 8.2.5 will be really good! Do you like the updated models?

I always thought they don't need updating cuz were already better quality than old models and these were getting updates to get to this level. I don't see much difference on these screenshots tbh.

Edit: Allright I admit they are more detailed and prietter here ?

Wait to pass judgement until you see some in-game/in-engine footage of the models. Screenshots mean nothing.

Look at a female worgen, then look at this picture. There is a huge difference there for certain, as the new model doesn't make her look like a constipated chihuahua.

Worgen dont need heritage armor, they are freaking dogs.

[Arcling 898]

Would like to see some heritage armor for more played races like Draenei. Barely anyone plays Goblins, and Worgen have lost much of their popularity. Updates for models are nice, although it looks like they aren't adding any new customisation options for them. Goblins would look better (imo) if they had some options to make their faces looks closer to original model (sharp nose, lack of those larger, "meaty" lips).

I would like to see a toggle for Human/Dog form out of combat. Used to be an add-on, but Blizzard changed the code and it has not been working for many years.

[Dejo93 1,023]

They look great, but the eyes on females need to look more like the males

[Valhalen 1,484]

Female Worgen still need some tweaking on their models... Their faces and "hair" look weird. I get the idea of using human eyes to make them more "cute", but still.

Also, I hope they improve the animations as well. Never really liked the way the Male Worgen walk and run flailing their arms like Goofy.

As long as they stop snarling all the time I'll be happy. If some people like the always snarling look, let them keep it when they create their toons, but let those of us who truly dislike the constant snarling be able to adopt a more neutral expression.

Not sure what you mean by that...Worgen already have the Racial Active Ability: Two Forms, which turn them from Worgen to Human and vice-versa while out of combat. Since they were introduced in Cata.

Unless you mean some other forms of interaction or such.

yeah, but now you have manually press/click a button every time you leave combat. You auto enter wolf form when you enter combat.  In Cata there was an add-on that put you in human form after combat ended. Blizzard changed their code and add-on stopped working. I find it weird with addition of transmogs, toys and glyphs that there's no option for Worgen players to choose which form they prefer. Just look at all the options a druid has.

Fair enough, I can understand that. Having to manually keep switching back to Human after every little conflict would get annoying after a bit.

the male perma snarl is still trash. its dumb and should have been taken out

Two Forms killed already two buttons on my keyboard. I don't want to click it every time I get out of combat.

They should be able to turn that into a glyph.
