Seeing the images of the Worgen rogue and warrior make me want to roll one. But the fact that Goblins get roadster mounts makes me want to roll a Goblin. Damn you Blizz for having too many cool factors evenly distributed across the board to not allow an easy decision!
Sarakin Aug 21st 2009 5:10PM
have they said what worgen use as their mounts? Or do they just run fast when they go into sprint mode similar to how tauren use to plains run?
Barinthos Aug 21st 2009 5:13PM
I haven't seen anything regarding Worven mounts. The only speed increase mentioned was their passive abiltiy.
"Worgen get "Darkflight" as a racial. A sprint ability."
But I can't really imagine a werewolf using another animal of any kind as a mount. I would think they'd get some kind of fast travel ability.

Sarakin Aug 21st 2009 5:16PM
well they can shift between wolf and human forms right? so maybe they get a mount in human form and use wolf form for fighting?
Barinthos Aug 21st 2009 5:19PM
Can they shift from worgen to human? I didn't read anything about that. But then again i just skimmed most of the text for the panel preview so I may have missed it.
But if that is the case and they get horse mounts that would be a bit...disappointing I think. Just give them an ability to increase run speed by whatever "mount level" they would have. And all the same mechanics apply with a real mount, chance to be dismounted, can be used any number of times and can't be used in combat.
Sarakin Aug 21st 2009 5:25PM
well one of their racials is to like swap into the currently inactive form so i assumed.
I like the idea of them running but blizz might have other plans. After all they changed tauren
cory.mercer Aug 21st 2009 5:27PM
where'd you hear about what kind of mounts goblins can have?
Barinthos Aug 21st 2009 5:29PM
In the Preview Panel Liveblog
"12:48PM Goblins get roadster mounts. Amazing."
cory.mercer Aug 21st 2009 5:58PM
oh ok thank you... i probably should have taken the time to skim that article lol
so just to make sure they're referring to the drag racers in shimmering falts right?
Barinthos Aug 21st 2009 6:02PM
I don't think they'll be that ghetto.

Might be more what Blizz has in mind for the mounts.
cory.mercer Aug 21st 2009 6:40PM
whoa thats a lot cooler than i thought they would be... and to think i was gonna settle for the beat up junk racers xD
also ty bari for answering my questions :D

and I'm all like "ooh, awesome!"
And then my itchy pvp reflex fingers skimmed over and accidentally clicked this one:

...doesn't she look like she's crapping her pants??
Clydtsdk-Rivendare Aug 21st 2009 5:10PM
What's with the pic with Arthas and Frostmourne?
Tori Aug 21st 2009 5:12PM
This...I'm very intrigued by it. It almost looks like a surrender?
Either way, I'm hoping that they do not allow us to kill him. He's my favourite lore character, I'd hate to see him be gone forever.
