How do you feel about it? My first thought was I hope Jack Black is doing the voice...

    Mine too. But I have much love for the game. I know people usually complain about the expansions, but I like see how the game evolves.

    I don't play WoW, but I love that blizzard are doing this. The Pandaren started off as an April Fools joke announcement of a fifth race in Warcraft III, and has gradually evolved into a real thing in the Warcraft lore. I love that blizzard have done that. It's crazy and awesome that an absurd April Fools joke has evolved to the point where an entire World of Warcraft expansion is based upon it.

    I'm really mixed about this. Blizzard has been great about keeping humor in WoW, and bringing in all sorts of references, which I enjoy. On the other hand, it's really hard to go from saving the world from the creators of the Titans, the Scourge, and now Deathwing, to an expansion that is focusing on a race that has been "hidden" and just likes to beat each other up to see who is the best.

    The graphics look great, and the improvements to the questing and grouping look intriguing, but on the other hand it feels like they are greatly dumbing things down with the talent changes. They say it will make it less cookie cutter, and make people more individual, but from what I can see it is actually completely cookie cutter, with the talent choices only offering minor variations on a theme. It suspect the talent changes will make it a lot easier for the developers to keep the classes balanced, though.

    I don't know how I feel about pandas lol. I'll get it though. I always do. And I always get sucked right back in for months at a time. I'm in a lull right now, but I'll be back in Azeroth when this is out.

    panderan may have started out as a joke in warcraft III but they were a huge hit.

    I'm excited for the expansion, if i'm still playing wow when it comes out. Not just for the panderans either, i'm hoping they succeed in giving us more to do end game and getting people OUT of stormwind and orgimar.

    Looks like a reasonable expansion, the additional features will be interesting. The 'kung fu panda' references that are floating around are tedious, though.


    Talents now -are- cookie cutter. There's always a mathematically-best spec. Just because you can screw it up doesn't make it better than a set that is more fool proof.

    It might be nice to not have to gimp yourself in PVE to have a viable PVP spec, though... if that is in the cards.

    What I find funny was blizzard got offended by people refering to this expansion as 'Kung Fu Panda Pokemon'. How did they not think that was going to happen?

    That aside, I am excited about the new xpac. I have liked every xpac. I find it funny when people complain about the game changing. Isn't that what you pay for? Fresh content? I just hope they don't rush it. Any word on a release date?

    Not yet. But consider that Deathwing is coming soon. Then look at the time from Arthas to Cataclysm and that will give you an idea.

    I hope they wait awhile and really really make it great. I would gladly wait until 2013 for an awesome xpac.

    I might sound like a stereotypical Asian but....

    I LOVE PANDAS!!! :) KAWAIIIIIII!!!!!!!!

    I just want to explore the Asian town.....but....I can't see myself playing a panda character, just like I can't get myself to play my Tauren alt because of it's bulky-ness.

    I too was apprehensive about the Mists of Panderia XPac. But while watching the videos from Blizzcon it looks pretty awesome. Blizz really seems to be trying to revamp the playing experience to keep it interesting. THe idea of a Kung Fu based toon is pretty sweet and the gameplay videos of it in combat are really sweet. Also major changes to the Talent and Achieve system look good.
  • not playing it...........-.- that is all.. idk i think they ran out of ideas....

    Wow.

    I loved WoW, and I love pandas, but ... the term "jumped the shark" came to mind.

    I will probably end up trying it, but really do not like the idea of Pandas as a race.

    Will I play? I don't know... I've quit and gone back so many times so I guess it'd depend on whether or not my other nerd friends go back. I was horde on The Underbad *cough* Underbog I mean. =)

    I haven't really done much research into it but I heard at lvl 10 if you roll a panda you choose between alliance or horde... won't that sorta make things weird for PVP? "Hello my panda brother!" Pew Pew splat... ]

    Also, I am hoping the /dance is Jack Black-esque! And maybe the jokes too ;}~
