Worgen & Goblin Videos from Dreamhack 09′
The Gilneas flag
There are a few videos, nothing overly long and the audio is pretty much comprised of the typical sounds found in most convention halls, so again – nothing to worry about if you don’t have audio while you watch. I originally saw these videos over at WoW Raid and they were recorded at the Dreamhack Winter 2009, a gaming convention in Stockholm. There really isn’t anything new in the videos that wasn’t present at Blizzcon 2009 over the summer.
The first video is a short one that shows basic combat stances and casting animations for a Worgen mage wielding a 1H sword.
The second video shows the Goblin starting area and follows a low level shaman showcasing the Goblin casting animations. This too is a very short video.
The third is more on the Goblin starting zone showing off the Goblin’s Rocket Jump racial ability. Think of it as a hunter’s disengage ability but in reverse. I doubt that this will make it into the final build for the same reasons Fury Warriors were denied Heroic Leap from the Wrath beta.
That pretty much does it for now. There was another video showing the other Goblin rocket racial which fires a small belt mounted missile but the vid is only 7 seconds long and it sucked. Anyway I hope you folks had a good extended weekend, I’m looking forward to an awesome week full of entertainment and news for you.

I cant belive that those pesky goblins will have so much racials and good ones. That will be freaking unbalanced, makes no sense, except if Blizz wants a lot of ppl to play the small dudes. They have a way in manipulating ppl doing stupid things…
I think I read somewhere that the racials will be updated to match the goblin/worgen racials
they will be understandably, but goblins currently have the following racials:
-the gold discounts on vendor costs without needing to grind rep
-the ability to summon a hobgoblin which grants bank access
-rocket jump forward
-belt mounted rocket missile
-mixologist which adds to alchemy skill and potion effects on goblins
that all seems a taaaad bit much imo
worgen get:
-bonus to skinning skill and the ability to skin without needing a knife
-1% damage increase across the board
-reduced damage or length (forgot) from diseases (means they can fuck up DKs)
-built in sprint
-2 forms which doesn’t do anything but let them turn into a human and back to a worgen when they enter combat it does nothing but give a visual/aesthetic affect which i think is pretty badass and do not want to go away
that’s about it
Imo, as it is, goblins beat the crap out of worgen as far as racials go. I’m still gonna roll a worgen when Cata is released, though
