3.2 Druid form impressions.

Long time no post!

Inactive in wow for a few months, and have an active account for a short while prior to returning to university, so I thought I would give my 2c on the new druid forms.

Kitty fo:

Ok… lots of dangly bits, and looking rather… shiny (My models were the white ones because I have white hair.)

Impressions: Transveti-kittie. Took a little getting used to but I actually really like this colour and style of form. Ive always been one for having characters with white hair, or white mounts, or white pets – this seems like an extension of it. It’s a colour scheme that seems to fit right in in Ashenvale. It would have beeen nice to be able to customize somewhat though… be able to choose wristbands, or feathery strap on things rather than have them come as standard (Hey, if theyre implementing bear armour, then whats stopping them?) I mean – I was in ashenvale with the wife on her hunter. She had a Moonstalker (one of the Darkshore cats) and I literally looked like its bitch fighting along side it…

Bear form
Immediate impression: Chubby Funster.

There is something about the bear form, the extra plumpness in the face, that inane grin you would get from the retarded animal in a Disney cartoon... I imagine it spends all day strutting its stuff with its feathery elbow bands reciting to everyone: “Its just so super to be a bear!” and flicking its hair.

Personality match: The retarded Lion King hyena (Ed?) crossed with dumbo.

Random song lyrics pop to mind…


“Its so super to be a bear
Styling all my lovely hair
Prancing about to the bear tanking song.

Yes it’s so fun to be this class
Just look at my gigantic ass
As Im up the front doing the tanky spank
Oh please don’t hit my pretty face,
With your gignantic fekking mace
It may be tough but I don’t like the way my make up runs.
Oh you can spank my hairy ass
But you know youll let me pass
Cos im so super, a super duper bear."

I should probably stop before Blizz finishes organizing the firing squad…

Impressions of the changes: Very nice looking forms, but they make the alliance druids look literally – like Care-Bears. I cant wait to see the new Moonkin forms, I imagine bubble-wrap and baby oil are involved somehow.
