Since the other one reached its post limit... continue, children.

Worgen have had horrible models since Cataclysm's release, and no attempt has been made to fix them. Goblins, while they don't have it as bad, need some love too.

Worgen

Female
New animations; no more stroke casting animations!
Blank eyed stare needs some emotion. She looks like she injects Botox into her face daily.
New hairstyles. These girls used to be sort of Victorian; they need similar hairstyles.
Fix her pose so that her potbelly doesn't stick out as much.
Add tails! Connect them to fur colors, like Pandaren.

Male
New animations; he looks like he's wearing cement on his paws and hands, and he only has ONE CASTING ANIMATION.
Fix up the hunchback thing. Makes no sense on a werewolf!
Different hairstyles are badly needed, he only has braids, spiky hair, and... yeah.
Tails, connect them to fur colors like Pandaren.
More facial options, there is only one peaceful face.

Both could use some hair colors.

Goblins

Female
New animations would be nice; the tip-toe sneak animation and the wiggling fingers don't really feel realistic. They feel childish.
Add some more variety to the faces. They're supposed to be rich snobs, make them fit the part!
More hair colors

Male
Add some facial animation! He just stares.
As a matter of fact, add some idle animations! He literally stands there, it's creepy and weird.
Make the skin colors less of a sickly green.
Better hairstyles, there's little variety.
Better animations
Fix up the pose. He's just so boring to look at.

Blizz. What did I tell you about making public announcements and then not following thru? Remember.....its' not good. Do you remember the discussion we had? The internet never forgets Blizz!


We haven't forgotten either! It's still something we want to do and are working on but, there just isn't really anything to update with currently. The last time we talked about it was at the Q&A at BlizzCon where Ion said that we're still working on it but it wasn't going to be in 8.0.

Hopefully soon™ we'll be able to share more info on this.
