I nominate this post for best subject line EVAR. Welcome, cats and kittens, to the news we’ve been waiting months for (well, some of us anyway) . . .the female worgen dance! And emotes! And transformation! And RUNNING WILD! (reveal: the female worgen dance is Lady Gaga’s ‘Poker Face’)
Female Dance, emotes, casting animations
Female Transformation, Running Wild worgen mount
MALE Running Wild
I absolutely LOVE what the art department has done for Running Wild for both male and female worgen. Lemme quote Chris Metzen: You know it’s gonna be awesome!
My one and only gripe, and this is non-negotiable, Blizzard . . . fix the snorting. No, claims to the contrary, that’s not sniffing, that’s snorting. We don’t sound like wolves, wolfmen, wolverines, or anything even remotely wolfish. Think pecary, piggish, ham, BACON. Yes, we sound like bacon on 4 legs. There, I said it. PLEASE FIX IT! It is one IRRITATING sound file, please don’t make us mute the entire game for it. I’m almost convinced someone put it in there as a joke, just to hear our QQ.
There is also some issues with the female running wild animation (spare arms and such), but that’s natural at this stage in the beta. I didn’t bother showing a recent youtube by the Cynical Brit with a very broken male worgen running wild animation. It wasn’t even textured right, you knew it was broken. So I waited until we had something working to show TODAY. Awesome, awesome, awesome! There are already comments on WoWInsider to the effect that some worgen players may never use another mount again. Yes, Running Wild is just that awesome. Now to figure out how to modify game sound files in case Blizzard gets lazy . . .
Wow. Yeah… I think someone in the sound department has been crossbreeding wolves with Hogger for that snort.
