 Blizzard revealed on the official World of Warcraft community site that they're finally addressing one of the more cosmetic complaints held by many players of the Druid class: Every character in the game has the freedom to customize their appearance, but Druids are stuck looking identical to every other Druid when they shift to bear or cat form. Furthermore, a shapeshifted level 80 Druid looks exactly the same as they did four years ago at level 10. As of the next major content update, that should no longer be the case.
The developers posted the following details on their plans to update Druid animal forms:
There will be five different designs for each of these forms for the Horde and Alliance. Night elves can choose to change their cat and bear look at any time by visiting the barber shop and changing their character's hair color, while tauren will be able to change which look they use by switching skin tones in the barber shop -- a new feature for tauren in the next major content patch. Given that there are more hair colors and skin tones than unique form looks, some colors and tones will overlap with these new textures. The hair and skin colors chosen will, in most cases, correspond with the color seen in the look of each form. Some similar colors that may share a particular cat texture will not necessarily share the same bear texture.
They also released the above picture depicting the new and improved tauren bear forms -- the first of four teaser images detailing the new Druid forms. Blizzard promises a closer look at the revamped night elf bear form later this week, as well as updates on the new cat forms further down the line.
