Leather Armor (Agility or Intellect) [/quote It was expected... but still. Damn it,, more competition on gear for rogues T_T. It will be a very bad time to be a rogue in dungeons, because there will be 3 pandaren in every group.. T_T

With the lvl cap raised the food buff will probably be increased to 120-180 for everyone then the pandaren get X2 so 240-360 food buff! that's = to flasks almost!

[Daxos]

Hahahahahahahaha.

I don't know what's more insulting, the fact that they took an old joke and turned it into an expansion, or the fact that they're dangling what I expect will be an amazing mount in our faces to get us to subscribe for a FULL YEAR.

"Hey, we're about to release some really shitty content... BUT, if you commit to a year of putting up with it, we'll toss you an overused mount for your $200."

Your point would be valid, if it weren't for the fact that you also get a free copy of Diablo III, and guaranteed beta access into MOP, the fact is. taking this deal with a 6month sub plan only costs you about 150 bucks, and DIII will run pretty close to $60 by itself. The way i figure it is you're getting a year of WoW, a bad-ass mount, and guaranteed beta access for $90, or 7.50 a month

Pet Battle System - Battle PvE and PvP Battles It will be turn based. A simple combat system. Fight with a team of 3 pets Queuing system, you will be able to find a fight pretty fast depending on the level of your pets. Pet Battle System - Customization You will finally be able to name your pets, and see that name in battle. Items for your pets, you will have an item slot for your pet and might be able to socket gems in those items, etc ... Individual builds of abilities and different teams. Masters and Masters abilities, there will be different NPC pet masters in the world who will let you earn abilities when you beat them. For example, beating the master of mechanical pets will get you a new ability for your pet!

Just in case no one has said it yet.... ehhh heemmmm... POKéMON Gotta catch 'em all!

[Maltorio]

I dont know, guys. This whole expansion seems a bit improvised, dont you think?

[kolz4ever]

Well since this game is turning in to the world of bonsai like the free to play korean games I would like to play for free on this also. Would be even more fitting since we are bringing pokemon and kungfu panda in.

[Laughriot]

Firstly, Pandas LMAO HA HA HA HA Ok, feeling a bit better. Not to be mean, but TBC was where they peaked. It has been a downward spiral since then. Do you not remember the devs saying that they considered wrath to be a failure. They tried to bring in more casual player base and in doing so dumbed down the game and made it even easier. All the raids since wrath has just not been as fun and I have played from vanilla till recently. I remember waiting to go into BT and being excited even though we have cleared it tons of times before. The game has had a nice run, but It's seems that this patch is more towards the younger kid crowd. They will probable get decent amount of sales, but with bigger games such as GW2 and swtor coming out they will probable loose more subs. I don't doubt the long time players, like myself from vanilla, will want something different after playing a game for 5+ years.

Yep, I remember TBC clearly. I started playing a bit before BWL was added to original WoW.

TBC was a turd of an expansion, in my personal opinion. It catered far too much to far too tiny of a demographic. Everything was pink/purple. The gear looked absolutely atrocious. End-game raiding had one of the most ignorant, pointless, overly convoluted attunement models in the history of online gaming.

Old WoW was excellent. TBC was a sophomore effort that flopped.

[Icro]

Alright... So let me get this straight... Blizzard has basically said, with a straight face, we're adding pokemon. Ripping off GW2's cool new skills system, we're using this new monk class an example profession from GW2, oh and you know those PvE events in GW2 we're taking those too I'm not saying it doesn't sound awesome or they couldn't have come up with the idea on their own, but seriously, Master Trainers. (derp derp derp, time to go to the next gym Red)

[tostitos]

I like every idea except the pet battle thing could stand to be a little less pokemonesque and less races should be able to be monks. Tauren, orcs, trolls, pandaren, dwarves, night elves, and humans would make more sense

There isn't a single part of that post that I agree with. Also you give me diabetes with your ignorance

[Raleik]

I love how everyone is complaining about VP for dailies without taking into account other things that have been said. This for example,

Valor Points will follow a new philosophy with 4.3, as a parallel way to gear up alongside the Raid Finder, but not as a fill-in for boss drops.

VP gear will be parallel to RAID FINDER. As in, lower ilvl than actual raid gear. They're making Valor gear worse, so it will be useful as a stepping stone to raiding, but will be replaced by normal and heroic raid gear. So earning valor for doing daily quests make perfect sense when you think about it. You should earn stepping stone gear for questing.

[Bladesmith]

Anybody else think the Pet system is kinda Pokemon based?

[FrozenFlames]

Companion Pet fights = Pokemon. Gotta catch em all. I'm so glad TOR comes out on 12/20. I couldn't stomach leveling through this stupid expansion. Really? Split faction races? Pokemon? Valor points for completing quests? At least they're getting rid of min range for hunters. Wow. Blizz is making everything stupid friendly nowadays.

What is wrong with:
split faction races?
pokemon?
valor points from quests?
And what is so noob friendly of these 3?

Thanks for your original post, have you even read any of the other forums?

This is pretty much the attitude and "talk of the town" of all the MoP bashing kids who've only played the game since WotLK.

If you don't like the idea of pet battles then don't do them, simple yes?

Is the monk class going to heal with there energy or?

They'll use mana for healing.

[Otaka]

Worgens actually have the prefect build for monk style fighting. They should make Monk not available for Gnomes and Goblins. Also the new talent tree sucks balls.

The new talent tree is good, you have to make crucial choices in abilities and not have them all at once... like frost mages can have 5019283 novas now, but not in Mop...rogues can have shadowstep and preparation, not in Mop.

For pvp its gonna rule.

[Spargon]

I liken the Pet Battles more to Monster Arena in Dragonquest 8 myself but meh I think its a fun idea better than "gotta get them all" for the last 7 years to sit uselessly in your ui or beside you after you get the achieves which reward....*gasp* more pets.

What I find absolutely hilarious is how much people put TBC up on a pedistool and hate the Pandaren yet Blizzard said Pandaren were originally going to be in TBC for Alliance. If they had would people still think TBC was the best?

Personally I've been playing wow since MC and I was a hardcore raider through Wotlk and TBC was some of the crappiest raids and by FAR the worst dungeons I've played. I loved Vashj Kael and Illidan and Sunwell but getting to those bosses was agonizing SSC im looking at you you steaming pile of garbage. People love TBC heroics so much was spending 2 hours in the dungeon (after spamming for more in trade for an hour then trying to get someone to come to the stone to summon) cc'ing every pack to get maybe a blue drop and some badges? mind as well have called them 5 man raids but I digress. But I have had absolutely ZERO interest in raiding Cata the raids look boring and uninspired and sweet jesus enough fire already.

MoP is going to be a great xpac IMO and once people realize Pandaren aren't the only thing on Pandaria they will get over it or go and play World of Starwars-Craft either way im excited.

[Tristan Khan]

This will be the first expansion I don't buy. Can't believe Blizzard is doing this to their fanbase. Or actually I can believe it when I look back at the incredibly dissapointment that Cata was. MoP should be some free to play junk on Facebook, not an expansion for WoW.

[Vorticough]

What I find absolutely hilarious is how much people put TBC up on a pedistool and hate the Pandaren yet Blizzard said Pandaren were originally going to be in TBC for Alliance. If they had would people still think TBC was the best?

I remember TONS of QQ about Draenei and Ally Shaman. And almost as much for Belves and Pallies. Honestly, that seems worse, if not just as bad as the current QQ with Pandas now.

[Judgeu]

Fellas u rly should stop complaining like little kids(which half of you probably are), omg this omg that, whats there its there its fun u dont like dont play, allu do is troll it all of you will play it at the end, its just a game accept it, they make it they way they think its the best which in the end allways is new world new class new fun, i am looking forward to it cuz promises lots of fun, whatever they put in it as allways was))
