Goblin/Worgen Fact Sheet

[ketzil]

Basically all the info we know at this point about the two new races in Cataclysm consolidated into one spot.

What will most likely be the Worgen flag:


Sadly, no word yet on what the Goblin flag will look like.

[Zero44556]

May need to add into the goblin parts, they usually only live around 20 years due to blowing themselves up during apprenticeships

And the power of priests come from the faith itself, it's extremely possible one could put a religious faith in money so highly they can control the light of priests

really like this idea, would be a hilarious twist if blizz implemented it.

[MushroomBomb]

I think you might be overestimating the life-span of these things. Even with healers and herbs, the World of Warcraft is probably filled with diseases and sickness that hasn't been cured yet. Kind of like how, only a hundred years ago, the human life-span was much shorter.

But I suppose this is debatable.

[RakuRaku]

You DO know that inaris made a thread already very similar to this, right?


Also, the flag is awesome. Japanese hotspring ftw.

Also.

Human are adults at 15, middle age 35, and old by 53. 80 is -venerable- meaning extremely old. 130 a rare a occurance some magi live to, or paladins.

[dreadrune]

looks nice
maybe you could add the possible racials posted on wowwiki as well
also i think it has been confirmed at blizzcon worgen get a part of stormwind but most likely they wont get their own capital as gilneas will be a BG

Yes I know about Inarus' post, its a very good, In depth one at that. But it is only worgen, I wanted to have both worgen and goblins side to side with the same info, and not as quite detailed as his.

To mush and raku, yes i know all sorts of components come into effect with lifespan. However, I just took the maximum lifespan from the wowwiki ages page for the races. I thought that it was a given what I meant, but I will post maturity age too.

ty

didnt add the racials last night due to laziness :P, but they are now up.

also i think it has been confirmed at blizzcon worgen get a part of stormwind but most likely they wont get their own capital as gilneas will be a BG

I know, I just wanted to write that as of now, before forsaken try to invade, it is their nations capital.

[ketzil]

Great post! There some details in here i do not have in my post! It would nice to see a Goblin post simular to my worgen one.

Thanks Inarus! I lack the initiative to make a post as detailed as yours about Goblins, But because there seems to be a lack of goblin pics on here compared to worgen I will post a few pics of them here.

Excellent post. A couple important NPC's for Goblins you might add though.

Doc Zapnozzle: The goblin who zaps you back to life after you wash ashore on the Lost Isles. From videos that I've seen, he will be a First Aid trainer on Lost Isles.

Maxx Avalanche: Don't know too much about this guy except that he's the Goblin Shaman trainer on Lost Isles

Sassy Hardhearted: "Your Former Executive Assistant" A prominent quest giver on Lost Isles and hints that she might be the leader of the goblins there since supposedly Trade Prince Maldy flees after the ship wreck. I guess he didn't want to be around the people he tried to sell into slavery. :-\ Further rumors I've seen suggest that she becomes the goblin faction leader full time later on.

thanks will, solid info. I'll add these and put description for the worgen ones tomorrow when I get back from boston.

edit: added

[Unholyground]

To the Op, Goblins are getting a floating town on the water in Azshara that will connect to the back of Orgrimmar as far as I know.

[Gamevizier]

both models are a bit ugly if you ask me...worgens dont look ferocious anymore...they look more ... "cute" i guess blizzard cant give alliance any serious race.

I'll give you goblins, but they're going back to what the blood elves defied, fierce and (fairly) ugly looking creatures seeking survival

While I do like the design of the PC worgen, you do have to admit that they softened the fierceness of the ones you see in Silverpine, Duskwood, and even the newer models in the Grizzly Hills. The Dragonball Z haircuts certainly do not help either.

so i guess worgans are Diablo 3 fans LOL

I honestly think that's only due to how blizzard is handling the textures for fur now, it actually looks more like fur instead of a colored jumpsuit like the old cat druids used to have

As well, they're shinier and newer than the models for the old races and old worgen in particular

Goblins

Maturity Age: 20


Worgen

I don't see how these are relevent, or even facts...
