For once, I'm VERY glad to be a Night Elf.
(probably only until they release the NE forms that make us look like hello kitty)

I like the dark with the red stripes.
I would imagine all the druids are going to be running around in cat/bear form all the time for a while. I want new moonkin forms goGogO

I believe the eventual goal is to release updates to all the combat forms and trees. Bears were already previewed, now the cats are just being released. They may not get all the form updates into one patch, but give them some time.
The forms really aren't drastically changed, mostly warpaint and the color changing to match your hair color (not sure if the forms can be a different color than your regular hair, but that might be an option). Otherwise they mostly look and act like they did before. All their mouths are supposed to be able to close now, as opposed to always gaping open.

Wow they look great, so now druids are OP and the best looking class in the game LOL gogo blizz with DK's and druids all day (hate the devs).

The only thing I didn't like about them before was a bear or cat with horns...and they still have horns!

While I dont think this is really what we need... its better than nothing.
They do look very cool.

Ive played a druid since beta. its definitely cool. I just don't think it should be the end all solution.
We'll see what happens.

Any kind of horns on Cat form looks retarded IMO. Losing the horns on the bear form would be a good idea as well.

I always think of Manbearpig whenever I use tauren bear form. I guess technically it would be a Mancowbear so maybe we are it's distant cousin.
I vote for the horde version of bear form, the ally versions all look like they have downs or something. I'll have to wait for ally cat art to see if I still like them better than the horde version. The new horde cat forms are a big upgrade. I have a feeling new allies cat forms will look like they belong in hello kitty island adventure.

At least horde finally have darker cat colors, I know years back when I played ally, horde cats in stealth were easy to spot as they passed by just cause of their color.

This is getting ultra picky here, but what I would have liked to see is some way to display gear scaling on the forms, but I can see how this would be a complex problem to tackle without having to create all new gear models just for the druids. That would require too much work for just one class in the game.
I'm thinking along the line of gear displays like the ZG bear mount, the city leader bear reward, night elf saber cat epic mounts, etc. That way you can still get an idea of relative gear level of a druid visually even while in one of these forms.
But that's just wishful thinking on my part, and would make all the other classes QQ about all the time they are spending on a single class that does nothing to improve or fix gameplay.

My wife did the exact same thing and she is very forgiving when it comes to graphics. She really likes the druid changes, but wishes that there were a few forms that were a bit more feminine.

It doesnt even necessarily have to be showing our gear. Some sort of scaling. To my knowledge we're the only class that (feral wise) looks the same at level 10 as we do at level 80 dripping with epics. Just kind of a downer.

Yeah, that's all I'm getting at. Even if it is just a new bear model that changes slightly at every 10 levels or something. I didn't mean to imply it should show the gear we're actually wearing, but something like a chest harness when the average ilvl of your gear is 150+, a battle helm at ilvl 180+. The gear can look the same for everyone, but at least the look scales in some way.

Point well taken. :)

Shadowbane, if i recall correctly, had stat scaling. The more strength you had the bigger your guy got, etc.
Something like that could be funny. "HOLY CRAP LOOK HOW BIG THAT BEAR IS"

Tauren cat looks sweet. Sorry night elves =(
I kind of like the top right one for the NE cat forms, though I'm not so sure about the anklets. Of course, I've not played the original one yet since my NE druid team is only at lvl 14. :)
My lvl 70 Tauren druid is going to be quite happy with the changes, though.

Theyre supposedly going to work on all of them eventually. They went for the 2 with the most impact and that had been around the longest I guess. (besides, everybody hates boomkin =P)

Actually the good thing about having 5 different colours is that if you're 5-boxing druids, you can have one of each colour! 8)

Why the Hell do the NE Bears have sideburns???? That looks so damn stupid!!!
They're here!
With 3.2 going live all us druids have our nice, new skins/models! They look great just standing around, and in motion they're something else.
I went with the black (top) skin on my nelf druids and the gray (bottom right, not bottom center) one for my taruen.
Oh, and being able to train the nelfs from zero riding skill to flight for just 51g each was very satisfying. :)

totally love the new form changes. totally love how they move. cant wait to see changes in flight forms, tree of life, boomkin and seal thing form.

Logged into my druids last night and they look awesome. Too bad boomkins weren't changed.
Not sure why everyone is complaining and making fun of the model changes.

Well, I'm now being called the badger when I tank , but I do like the new models.
Just dissapointed that I had to change my characters hair colour to get the cat/bear forms I wanted.
My character just doesn't seem the same with Jet black hair as opposed to the shocking white he had before.
As much as I preferred the gray tauren skins over the black ones, I had to change back. It was too weird logging in to play and seeing a strange face (the eyes are really what did it) looking back at me. I don't know who that guy with the light-colored face was, but it wasn't my character...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I feel like the needed to make this "pelt" choice for bears/cats a separate option from hair color/skin tone. I know, they give us a cool new thing and all I do is complain about how they should have given us more. But I liked my NElf's old hair color... /whine :D

yea that whole skin/hair change sure made the barbers rich last week. luckily, my bear's fur was brown, and my cat's fur was dirty yellow like mufasa or simba. lol. so.... it wasnt really that drastic of a change for me. the only thing that kinda irks me is the mohawk that runs down my back... sure it mimics the tauren's mane, but still...
