Cataclysm Beta: Worgen emotes and back flip video

Worgen have recently gotten a little bit of an upgrade in the Cataclysm beta. All of their voice emotes now have appropriate sounds to go along with them, and some of their emotes have new animations. Also, like the night elves, worgen now do a flip randomly while jumping. This is, however, a back flip -- and it looks pretty cool. The video above contains a complete catalog of all the available emotes and audio and shows off the new worgen back flip. You also get a chance to see the male worgen dance in action if you've missed it before -- and it is all done with a spiffy top hat to add that little touch of class.
Female worgen have yet to be fully implemented in the beta, so we will just have to wait to see if they get any special emotes or animations to go along with them.
Be sure to have your speakers turned up a bit, the sound came out a little soft.

Dreyja, I just posted this above, but this'll email you the same info. They made the female worgen's eyes half-lidded, like the example picture I created last week. It looks much MUCH better.

@ pinteresque - LOL touché! XD
@ Shrike - Thanks for that, it fills me with hope. I'd love to see more choices for facial features down the road. I for one would drop the perma-snarl.

"Don't move!" got me scared!

All I can say is...
The /cheer emote action... reminds me too much of Hulk Hogan - http://static.poponthepop.com/images/gallery/hulk-hogan-hypes-the-crowd.jpg
Perhaps it's just me though.

Do i see a worgen /roar-raid in the not so distant future?

I liked the Britsh accent better, that Victoria London sound was cool. Oh well :)

the backflip makes no sense. movements like that don't even happen in mecha anime.

Is he flipping us off with the rude emote?
VioletArrows Sep 27th 2010 5:12PM
First finger, yeah, but gnomes do it too.

1:58 When they say "cry" they mean "facepalm." Or maybe a bit of both....
Draelan Sep 27th 2010 6:29PM
It's the perfect expression for when you can't decide whether to cry or simply facepalm. Now you can do both at once!
RetPallyJil Sep 27th 2010 4:50PM
The dance is meh, but it's the /cry that really disappoints me.
Boohoohoo? C'mon. It should be more like this:

You would have to be old enough or a big fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger to know that the pose emote for the worgen is his pose rountine he made famous during his bodybuilding days and in the movie Pumping Iron.

I wouldn't expect many people to recognize it.
A shitload of idiots complained about the Thor in the StarCraft 2 beta.
"Why does he talk like Arnold Schwarzenegger? What's these comments about thunder and commanders pushing pencils? They don't make any sense! They are stupid!"
"Why does the Thor talk about aliens, and tell people to click him? He sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger, it doesn't make any sense!"
"The Thor is so stupid! They need to change his voice! He doesn't need to sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger! It's so stupid!"
"Hey kids, did you realize that he was an actor before he was a govenor?"
