Mists of Pandaria Zones
We will hear more about Mists of Pandaria in the upcoming weeks, but while we are waiting for new announcements we can review the new zones that are coming in Mists of Pandaria. We continue with the zone information that was announced so far, using dedicated threads in our Mists of Pandaria forum.

This would actually be a step backwards in my eyes, the ability to choose the location you will land on Heroic Leap is a great offensive and defensive tool. I cannot count the number of times that Heroic Leap has saved my warrior from death by it being defensively, and on the other side, you can use it offensively gain ground on fleeing opponents or any of its many other applications.

I feel that adding a targeting requirement would lower the manoeuvrability of the class and remove the unique feel given by this ability. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Scroll of Resurrection Temporarily on Cooldown
The Scroll of Resurrection will temporarily be unavailable while it goes on cooldown. As of January 11, 2012, you will no longer be able to send Scroll of Resurrection invites to your friends with lapsed accounts. Never fear, once this ability refreshes, we’ll let you know. Keep an eye on the official World of Warcraft site for more information.

Trading Card Game Art Gallery Update
The Trading Card game art gallery has been updated with ten new pieces.

    Stop getting me excited. First it was reading 4.3 as 4.4. Now it's reading this and thinking Blizz revealed more info.

    I should like to point out that my post will always be at the top of page 1.

    Infracted; "first" posts are not allowed, even if you word it creatively.

    When I see this I literally have 0 interest in playing WoW. I've always loved the game and been so pumped for every expansion but there is no chance in hell I'm playing this. I was glad spending hours in front of my computer when the product was amazing but this is just sad. I still love Warcraft lore so I'll be picking up any books and keeping up with wowpedia. As for me actually playing MoP, there is 0 chance.

    I grinned pretty eerily when Finland's biggest gaming magazine's latest issue had nothing but a huge picture of a Pandaren along with "Kung-fu pandas strike!" on the cover.

    Man I mean seriously they got all they got out all they gonna get out of the US and EU market so they are doing this x-pac to hit the Chinese market hard. It seems like their target market for this x-pac. It makes sense because after they released WOTLK didn't wow get about 2 million more subscribers? They are segmentating it because this x-pac has more potential in the chinese markets than the EU and US combined though the US and EU will probably get it first not sure how blizzard does its release dates for China, Can it really be described as segmentation marketing when there are 1 billion people they are target marketing? INB4 some noob says, "their target market is everyone."

    Maybe if we add another more black/green/red the expansion will be more targeted to the vocal community?

    Why does everyone see this as beautiful? Look at the trees. Look harder. Notice how almost all of them are instanced versions of one another? Look up SpeedTree. Then try and figure out how after more than 7 years their trees still look like absolute junk.

    Whoever proposed the Heroic Leap should work like shadow step is the most moronic warrior on existence, the ability itself works awesome, he/she propably is having issues clicking or KB turning and wants daddy blizzard help in order to not fail at warrior pvp, lol...

    Why does something have to be new for it to be beautiful?

    For me the Landscapes are really great, many old memories about nagrand come to mind =)Definitely a fresh approach. Lots of green/blue colours

    I loved Vashir, Deepholme but Highlands, Uldum and Hyjal were a bit weak imo. I'm glad for these new zones, they look really fantastic. Will be taking my 8 characters through these areas and looking forward to it.
