Can we finally have new druid forms after 18 years please?

And no, more bear and cat reskins do not count. I’ve been looking at that god damned cat model for nearly two decades! And its front paws still look nothing like a feline’s paws.

Don’t get me started on staring at a bear’s a** for 18 years either. Or that gorilla bear hybrid.

What druids need is three things and if there are still hidden forum dwellers from Activision here who relay information to the team, I hope they take it with.

A Mimic skill. You use this on any beast or nature elemental like a treant and you can then see which possible forms this beast could serve. Use on gorilla, devilsaur, or hydra. This form can be a guardian form. Use on raptors, wolves, or lizards, this can be a feral form. With some blend of all for travel forms and flight forms.

Then you hit it again and you ‘slot’ that form into one of 3 slots per form you can have memorised. 3 free slots for guardian, 3 for feral etc. To prevent bloat.

At the barber, or maybe with a skill you can use anywhere, you can now select these learned animal forms for your guardian and feral forms. Et voila.

“But the animations…” I hear you say. Don’t use it if the animations bother you. Even so, many beast have plenty of animations that can be used for various attacks anyhow. And most animations in bear and cat are very minute.

This fixes the 18 years and going on cats and bears omg… make it stop.

Glyph of stars to not make us a hologram but just add swirly whirly moon-magic around us and maybe a mark of Elune somewhere hovering over the head… Pretty simple right? This isn’t star wars, we aren’t princess Leia. Okay okay, the tauren women can RP as Leia, but the rest of us cannot! And should not.

Glyph for specific humanoid forms. Glyph of Goldrinn for feral form. This allows druids to use a worgen form as their feral form. Or lets worgen use their own form as feral form. They have all the requirements physically and were quite literally creates to be a feral form. So what gives?

Or that cat model everybody was so hype about, which is a worgen reskin so it doesn’t even demand much - or any - work. “But then all druids can be worgen?” Yea, just disable it in PvP, in fact disable all of this in PvP if it’s so bothersome and there we go.

If I see one more cat reskin added, I’ll catch my neighbour’s cat, flay it and send the skin to Activision HQ and tell them to wear it. For 18 years!

Shouldn’t exist.

Embrace being a fat chicken, this is the best part of playing balance.

Go away naysayer. The only seal I want you to use is the Seal of Approval.

I’m okay with most of your ideas.

But I don’t think people should be able to opt out of being a fat chicken.

I want all classes for all races, it’s about time after 19 years, Druid for all races, but especially for Dwarves, Dark Iron, Orcs, Mag’har, Bears, Wolves and Rams for them, and Raptor Feral Form, Direhorn Guardian Form, for Trolls and Zandalari.

There is lore about druids remaining for too long in their feral form and becoming animals.

It could be nice if there was a questline that allowed you to do the opposite. Basically, you get in such harmony with nature and yourself that you can even use feral skills in humanoid form.

That would explain the OP perfectly.

Sorry, I mentioned the return of Seals initially. Which I also think would be fun. :slight_smile:

I know mate. I know… :frowning:

That makes no sense, sorry. Harmony with nature doesn’t somehow give you huge fangs and claws, animal-like abilities to pounce and prowl. As much as I don’t wanna gatekeep fun, this would just be nonsense.

What’s that?! GRRRRRRRRR! :smiley:

Update its model, Give it customization, Allow it to Be awesome, if u insist on every druid embracing their forms, make Druids WANT to use the forms

I don’t mind the moonkin form, but the Kul Tiran one is just ugly. And it’s the only form you can’t edit with Legion artifacts.

I fully agree, I even made a thread a few days ago asking for Pandaren/Vulpera druid because I wanted a panda-pattern chicken, and a chicken with a fox tail.

No, and they don’t, do they? But look, if they added an option tomorrow for feral druids to be able to ‘grow fangs’ and animal claws or attack with fist weapons in feral, I’d be “Okay, weird but aight.” But I don’t really think it makes sense for Tauren, Kul’Tiran or trolls who don’t really have fangs or claws to just be able to do it as is.

I think the only way to make this happen is to widen the array of options. Many people don’t like the moonkin. I personally think its nickname - while - funny indicates that it’s a silly form. Iconic, but silly.

Even if they make moonkin as customisable as Drakthyr, lots of people will still use the glyph. In fact, almost every balance druid I have seen in years is a blue hologram. That says something.
