WildStar: Final Two Races - Chua and Mordesh Revealed

After months of coyly playing with our emotions, Carbine revealed the final two races in WildStar at San Diego Comic Con today. The Chua will join up with the Dominion, and the Mordesh are siding with the Exiles. Read on for more information and pictures of each race.
Nearly as brilliant as they are sociopathic, the Chua are mischievous inventors of advanced weapons and technology for the Dominion, and join the previously announced Cassian, Draken and Mechari races. The Mordesh are the newest addition to the Exiles; cursed with a degenerative disease, these space zombies have become masters of artifice and deception, plying their dark arts to wreak vengeance on their Dominion enemies along with their allies – The Aurin, Humans and the Granok.
The lore behind the Chua and Mordesh offers players greater insight into how these two races are also part of the ongoing power struggle between the Dominion and the Exiles, and their intentions for the legendary planet Nexus, the setting for WildStar, and the secrets left there by the ancient Eldan civilization.
Chua
Discovered by Mechari observers in the early years of the Dominion, the Chua of the forest world Bezgelor displayed from the start an uncanny grasp of science and mechanical engineering. Introduced to several examples of simple Dominion technology, the Chua zealously industrialized their home until verdant forests were replaced with factories and tranquil pastures were reduced to dustbowls of ash. The Chua joined the Dominion out of a need for resources that their own ruined world could no longer provide and for the past 1,000 years have created advanced weapons and technology for the empire. On Nexus, the Chua look forward to exploiting the planet’s legendary natural and technological resources while devising new and exciting ways to destroy their enemies.
Mordesh
The Mordesh of planet Grismara once were the envy of the galaxy. Their refinements in alchemy – driven by the great Grismaran alchemist Victor Lazarin – produced an elixir that was said to grant immortality. Distributed worldwide, the elixir eventually became unstable, causing those afflicted to physically degenerate and lapse into a mindless cannibalistic rage. The destruction that followed put the civilization a hairsbreadth from extinction and caused the Dominion to institute a brutal and uncompromising quarantine. While Lazarin created a vaccine for the disease, the Mordesh turned to the Exiles, who smuggled them piecemeal through the Dominion blockade. Forced by dwindling numbers and a hunted status, the Mordesh resorted to artifice and deception. Now seen by the Exiles as an unsavory, but necessary evil, they look to ply their dark arts on Nexus and wreak vengeance on the Dominion who deserted them.
More information about the Chua and Mordesh races can be found on the website.

My Review Manifesto
Follow me on Twitter if you dare.
So Chua are basically crazy Gibberlings?
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
Playing: TSW, D&D NW, Defiance (more the tv show than game >.> ) LotRO, DCUO
and the Mordesh look like a spin off of the Arisen race from Allods as well.
And i am totally ok with that.
Well, if anything, there's your issue.
Never treat Beta like it's just a freebie to get ahead in the game before release. That's not what the official use for them is. Yeah-yeah, it's mostly a marketing gimmick now for a lot of games, but serious studios at least understand that it's more than that. Save the marketing crap for "Open Beta".
And if all you're wanting with the Beta is just to find the quickest ways through everything, don't bother until they announce an Open Beta, otherwise you're just wasting peoples time.
Nothing about my post was leaning towards finding the "quickest" way through everything. What's the fun in that? Is that how you treat beta? I mean, it must be if that was your first impression of my post. People that have been playing in beta are going to be more familiar with different features, therefore being more skilled off the start, therefore progressing in a less time-wasting way and being able to help newbies, be effective guild leaders, and taking advantage of every feature of the game. You need to open up your mind a bit.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
Love small characters in a MMO.. I kinda feel like it gives me a advantage in PVP as well.
So that being said, CHUA!!! I shall be.

You see, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith
So true. I was liking the Draken but leaning more towards Mordesh now. I'm liking the undead, cyborg, Lord Byron-ish, punk theme going on with these guys. I also like how different all the Mordesh characters look. Seems like a fair amount of customization options.
Already confirmed hit boxes are normalized.
At the end of the Q&A Chris, lead combat designer, arrives to tell us that the hit boxes are completely normalized, so there is no advantage. This should be a big smile on any PvP player’s face.

What exactly does that mean? Is it that every character will have the same hitbox irregardless of their size ?
ya, most mmos are like this though
