I like playing around with WoW Model Viewer as I believe I have mentioned before and when I was looking through it to get a good picture of a female Worgen the other day, I noticed that they had all new hairstyles! I have made a few Worgen ladies since Cata’s release, but have deleted them all so far mostly because their hairstyles were all so horrible, looked the same, and had to be black. I am thrilled if these new hairstyles and hair colors are destined to be available in game, and will definitely roll some more Worgen women, and may even race change a Night Elf or two into Worgens (since I have so many, lol). I really think these new styles feel Worgen since some are a bit Victorian-esque, and I hope they add them to the barbershop for some of the other races because they look so great!
Perhaps this is a sign of what Blizz has in store for characters in the near future! I’m sure I’m not the only one visiting the Barbershops on all my characters again and again with crossed fingers hoping new styles have secretly made their way into the game! One of my first posts here was about race hairstyles, and as I mentioned back then, some races really are lacking in the hair department! Oh, I would be so happy if they updated the older race skins and added a bunch of new hairstyles! Here are the new styles and an example of what they are now.

I mentioned this to a friend and he got quite excited. He also told me that he found out this week that there are different hairstyles available in the barbershop than on the creation screen. He was able to get his blood elves a pigtail updo that is not available on the start screen. I haven’t logged in yet to check anyone else, but definitely true for blood elves, at least.
I’m hoping that the Worgen hairstyles will come soon… thanks for sharing!

Aliciana : Next Tuesday perhaps!

Laniri : There are hairstyles you can get from the barbershop that aren’t available from the character creation screen for all the races! They are only styles from other races, like the pigtail updo you mentioned for BEs is actually a gnome hairstyle for example. They became available almost as soon as the barbershop was introduced I thought, but it could have been later. Hopefully some of the other races get access to the new worgen styles!

Cool. Are there new male Worgen hairstyles in the Model Viewer? My husband hates the male Worgen hairstyles.

Amy : There aren’t any new male worgen hairstyles no
Hopefully they will add more for them as well down the road though, as their choices are pretty limited right now! “Do I want long beard pig tails or short?” lol.

lol i had to check, because i hate the goblin preset hair styles…and they had it…bald….how could they not have that as a preset hairstyle lol..everytime i think goblin i think bald..but all the preset hairstyles look like old men with receding hairlines…but glad they have bald lol =p

DeMeNtEd : Hehe yes I’m not a fan of the receding hairstyles, but bald does seem to work for the little green men!

they should make a plastic surgery clinic where u can go to redo ur facial features lol i think that would be funny =p
February 14th, 2011 - 4:43 pm
DeMeNtEd : Lol I wish they’d add that too, though I doubt it since you can pay for it out of game… I wish I’d chosen a different face for my paladin though, she always looks sad, lol.

yea kinda sucks u gotta pay real money lol especially to just add a smile…totally not worth it =p o n another idea they should do is let u “dye” the color of ur armors n stuff..i hated the end of wrath when every class looked the same because they all were wearing the same armor lol..but once again doubtful that’ll happen =) o well…i can always use my imagination n pretend lol “why yes, as a matter of fact i will choose to dye all my starting dk armor black…ha, look at that copy cat choosing the same color scheme i did…loser…” lol totally random sry lol

DeMeNtEd : I have always wished for this feature too and hated how all the armor was the same subdued dull tones all the way through Wrath. I’ve always wanted to run around in bright pink armor, possibly while killing people in pvp, hehe.

Aren’t these the cataclysm alpha models?
I remember seeing these pictures already.
But not quite sure.

Nean : I’m not 100% sure how the model viewer works in terms of what’s in game vs was in game vs will be in game, but these styles are in there now, and weren’t before as far as I know, lol. It sucks if they were just the alpha models as they look way better and more polished than what the Worgen ladies are running around with now!
lol

Passing through : … crap… lol
Thanks for pointing this out! I was wondering why they hadn’t gotten around to putting them in yet. What I don’t understand is why they would go from hairstyles like this, to what they gave the worgen ladies!? Their hair is so bad now.
