Any news yet on the goblin/worgen racial mounts in beta yet?

There is speculation that these will be Goblin mounts:

Still no word on Worgen mounts and not a single potential model that comes close to the concept art or otherwise.

I'd rather the Goblins didn't have a roadster for a mount really. yes it may be fitting, but i'd rather something with legs to be honest. a modified shredder ever, or even one of the beasts native to Azshara. Tarantulas maybe

Goblins on tarantulas? thats like gnomes on yetis!

it does even out the sides in reguards to mechanical mounts...since gnomes on mechanostriders, goblins on roadsters.

I'd very much like to see what the worgen mounts are going to look like, asides from that one beta artpiece...there doesnt seem to be any info to be found on them.

Ooh I would so love to have a shredder, that would be awesome! I think spiders may have to be optional, I know they terrify some people so much that they can't even stand to fight them in the game. :p But I would love me a spider mount.

Those are the Goblin racial mounts, according to Wowhead. They're called "Goblin Trike" and "Goblin Turbo-Trike".

I think Gnomes should have been able to create a new type of mount by now, especially after they saved Gnomeregan- i hate those chickens.

Goblins are looking more and more OP - IMO - with the cheaper vendor things, bank access pouches or whatever they are, and multiple rockets...

You don't see a Gnomish racial ability that ultilizes a Mind Control ability - or some sort of Zapper that does alot of damage on mechanical units. Gnomes need more than just flippin' escape artist.

I disagree. I love those chickens!

Every old race needs new racials. They need new graphics too. We're unlikely to get anything.

HAHA i think they should have shrink ray, causes enemy to shrink and have the effect panic (AKA Fear)

I feel the same way. I'm just not big on car/motorcycle things.

Especially as the current motorcycles have horrible animations. Just try to turn with it, or something.

Agree. Especially Gnomes!

At least the original races need racials (besides Humans). Draenei and BE's I think are OP compared to the originals.

And to remind you two; Blizzard has admitted and said the old racials suck and they well work on them- but again class balance is going to come first, hopefully, and fixes for classes, before racial tinkering.

Ignore stun, the fear/charm break+immunity, Shadowmeld which is almost as op in pvp as the draenei heal and honestly the heal tbh is only op on twinks as I've had whole bg's rollercoastered by one twinkadin draenei.

And as I said before Blizz has admitted old racials suck and that they will look into them.

Shadowmeld is annoying in pvp tho bleh.

And Warstomp is good Fael, saved me a fair few times in pvp and pve.

Warstomp+FD+Disengage+Deterrance

AND RUN LIKE FUCK TO THE PALLY AND DROOD. God the amount of times it's been a pally, drood or DK saving my ass on my hunters <_>
