![]() In keeping with the idea from the strangely fascinating deer MMO, I think the heart and soul of my suggestion is that these things that make your character aesthetically unique should be found out in the wide world of Azeroth. So my answer to this blog topic isn’t actually druid specific, because if druids get it I think every other class should too. But I would love a way to customize my druid so that he stood out a bit from every other bear, cat or moonkin running amok in Azeroth. I don’t personally care to see my armor on my bear. In Wrath we saw the different colors in the different druid forms, and that was a major step in the right direction. Druids sadly all end up looking alike, more so than any other class in my opinion. What would I love to see added to my class? Well, the answer is more customization. In addition to updating the character creation options (which I feel is absolutely necessary to be competitive in today’s game market), a little in-game customization that goes beyond what was available at creation could be really fun.īack to the original shared blog topic. The minor details you picked out for facial features and skin color get lost almost immediately with armor covering 90% of your character’s body. WoW’s character creation is laughably lacking in customization, and regardless of how you randomize your features everyone looks exactly alike anyway unless you get way, way too close to someone. The point I’m making here is that even though every new deer starts out looking exactly alike, with a little exploration and some luck every deer can look unique and distinct. And I realized, as I pranced around the Jade Forest as a stag, that it would be a neat thing to see in WoW, too. This is the kind of utterly pointless stuff I actually fall head over heels for. Some interactions changed your coat color, gave you neat designs on your fur, or put a mask on your face. Find this shining flower and you would sparkle. If you licked this stump, you got flowers on your horns. Especially once I found out that certain areas of the wood would change your physical appearance. It’s purely a “run around and hop up and down” kind of game. There are no monsters to kill, no items to collect. I think there are a few spots in this pretty woodland where you may interact with objects like flowers and tree stumps. The deer have a kind of vaguely unsettling humanoid face. And then you run around some more and do deer things in the trees. You start as a fawn and after a set amount of time, you mature into a stag. ![]() You can sort of communicate via emotes, but it’s very limited. ![]() Basically, your character is a deer, and you run around an enchanted wood. A friend introduced it to me as the most pointless and entertaining independent game ever. Out of laziness I cast stag form instead of just mounting up between mushrooms, and it made me remember another MMO I played a long while back. I was in the little wooded area north of the Terrace of Ten Thunders, where you pick mushrooms and release animal spirits into the wild. I was playing my worgen druid (I have four druids who were at max level in Cataclysm, and in true druid-junkie form I am in the process of getting them all to 90) and I was playing in the Jade Forest. Forgive my “old person telling a story” waffling. It got me thinking about something that had occurred to me earlier today, so in order for this to make sense I have to backtrack a little bit. So this week’s shared topic is about your favorite class, and what you wish you could add to that class to make it better. All my best laid plans for this blog aside, I still like to wax idyllic about WoW. I like to yammer about all things WoW-related, which is kind of a pain in the butt when it comes to knuckling down and actually producing interesting content. ![]() While I don’t usually have trouble thinking up stuff to blather on about, I do sometimes have trouble finding a cohesive topic amidst my own rambling. I don’t visit Blog Azeroth very often, but I’m thinking that needs to change. ![]()
