... World of Warcraft next major patch will include a host of new textures for two major forms, cat and bear. And also we are glad that there will be five different designs for each of the forms on both Horde and Alliance. Night elves Night elves can choose to change their cat and bear look at any time they want. The only thing need to do is visiting the barber shop and changing your character's hair color. Tauren Tauren will be able to change which look 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. In most of the time, the hair and skin colors chosen will 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. |
