EDIT: Larisa (yeah, like you guys need me to give the url for Larisa) pointed me to a commenter on her Angry Tree Post, who linked this thread: in which Ghostcrawler says:
Art is very subjective. We’re very used to the phenomenon of half of a class loving say their tier set art and the other half thinking they are the worst thing ever.
Messing with player models is always risky and we know the current Tree of Life model is one of those things that is either loved or hated. That is why, as promised, we are offering a minor glyph if you just prefer the older, treant-based, version of ToL.
So, kudos Blizzard. Restos only have two useful minor glyphs anyway. Ok, I’m glad you thought about this and for once didn’t just ignore us. I’ll glyph my old tree, and use the cooldown. I do wish there was a way to make it permanent though.
THIS is our new tree form?
The one they took our permanent, happy little tree away for? Yeah, sure, our tree was scrawny. And a bit sickly looking. It’s an uprooted tree that spends all its time in dungeons. But it was mine, and I loved it.
This… this is an abomination. Where to start? The size? The ugly face? The hunchbacked effect? The fact that it is somehow terribly terribly masculine? Look, Blizzard, I’m a girl. I play female toons and I like it that way. I don’t want to turn into this abominable, obviously male thing.
I hate this tree. Hate, hate, hate. I do not EVER want to see it on my screen. Ever. I’m boycotting new tree cooldown. If I can’t raid in Cata as a resto without it? Fine. I’ll level a priest, dammit. This – thing – no. Just no.
I’m going to start calling it Pedo-Tree. Because it looks like a molester. The kind that lives down at the bus station. This tree has to register with the cops every time it changes addresses. This tree tells long, meandering stories while you try to edge away without making eye contact. It is not, in fact, a healy tree. It is a tree of ugh.
Zelmaru at Murloc Parliament is giving up resto druiding entirely. I’m not ready for that yet – but I do refuse to use this tree. Call me a conscientious objector, if you like.
I just got a comment on my hate-the-new-tree-form post. Apparently there will be a glyph that allows you to stick to the old treeform. Yay for that!
That would be excellent. I’d like a confirmation of that – I remember hearing that as a “might”. If they do that, I will take back this QQ and publicly thank them.
Pedo-tree….hahaha. I actually like it, but I will still refer to it as pedo-tree from now on.
The purple tree is a girl.
My shiny new worgen druid will be a kittybear and mark his territory upon these abominations.
I sort of like them, but I can understand people have grown attached. These are very Warcraft III looking. I don’t think it’s bad, but the glyph is a good idea, so that Analogue isn’t freaking out on us and rolling a priest. 😛
Actually I think I’m gonna bring over my 72 priest…. just in case…
And what’s wrong with her having a priest? The more the merrier! In fact, some days I think we could almost be Crits and Priests instead of Crits and Pallies.
I’m going to move over my priest. I need to rename her. Something that goes with “Analogue” and “Invariant”, for a bubble priest who will be a gnome someday….
If I wasn’t so attached to Elgar he’d totally be rerolled a gnome. But I cannot do that to such an Epic Moustache. Maybe I’ll just roll a gnome priest anyway, make him Shadow and name him, Badelgar or Naughtypants.
Naughtypants? Seriously … NAUGHTYPANTS?!?
/facepalm

All female sounding name in my opinion.
Yes priests may get some love in this expansion.
We get full starship class shields now. 🙂
The glyph news was the best thing this morning. The new tree is beyond ugly and I honestly liked the old one… Even when my RL made me angrytree for our guild banner… 😛 (http://www.soulbound-guild.com/templates/bad_cataclysm/images/logo.png)
They took away my perma-form, but at least I’ll be the old “me” when I transform.
And /dance works when the cooldown is acive…. Maybe I will make that offspec resto again after all.
