Why Worgen players can't control their form

It seems weird that worgen players still can’t control their forms in combat and Instantly go to their worgen form.

It would be nice change if either we could control it comepletly or it would happen automatically once we got below 50% hp.

Greymane can control it after all.

My headcannon is that the worgen require’s constant supression in order to stay in human form.
During combat you arent supressing your inner worgen because you are fighting for your life.

In theory if you could keep your worgen suppress during combat you might be able to fight as human but i woudnt be easy.
The only time i recall greymane fighting in human form was when he didnt feel threaten and was playing with sylvanas boy toy naranos during legion.

What other times could he fight in human form?

I think they turn instantly in the Worgen form because he’s superior than their human form.

Pretty much gameplay, I think.

But to be fair, the worgen form is probably much better suited for combat in any case.

even for casters?

More mobility is a plus.

I agree, it really ruined the narrative a lead to them just being furry humans.
They should have been the loose cannons of the Alliance, instead they got forgotten about for a decade.

Some guy at blizzard animation team made, the transform effect and was and was so impressed with it worgen ended up been able to transform.

What I think anyway.

Think its to prevent things like people making human druids

I mean you could just make a worgen and never change forms … but then again shapeshifting re-activates worgen form so idk

At the start of Cata, people would bug out the starting zone and force the game to send them to Westfall’s GY, all of this before getting the Worgen form, making them Human druids.

But ironically, we now have Human druids. So, all of those macros which made a player shift into human form when leaving cat form are quite pointless now.

There should be a questline that provides you with a cure that allows you to stay in human form. Krenan Aranas could show up again. Or at least let it toggle itself off when you leave combat, even npcs in Darkshore can do that.

I think it would be cool if there was some kind of “rage meter” to build up to an inevitable form change… players could still do it manually, but sometimes it would happen automatically. Maybe add a subtle screen effect too as the character’s rage builds, although that might get annoying; I could see this being a hidden gauge too, though it might seem a bit too random to the player then… maybe it resets when out of combat, so you’d only see it trigger if you’re in combat for a long time or near death, etc.

Definitely not something that’s a hard game mechanic, more a cosmetic thing.
