all very neat BUT WHERE IS IT?

[Zaelsino]

Darkmoon Deathmatch sounds like the most uttrerly brilliant thing ever.

quote from the blue post


we’ve got an island all to ourselves now, and what an island it is. Mist-shrouded Darkmoon Island is a conundrum wrapped in an enigma. It’s a place of mystery and wonder! this for me sells it that the next xpac is going to be "mists of pandaria"

[solari]

if only they introduced something to make the playerbase less horrible at pve, i'm tired of getting bad dps and healers 9/10 times when i queue heroics on my tanks... oh and i heard that arena participation is at an all-time low? apparently everyone hates rbg's too. but hey at least all the bads will look cool while doing crap dps.

[Noomz]

More grind for rep and items. More "fetch this" and "kill x of these". All in a 'new' package.Sigh.

Nobody notice all the hints to pandaria in this?

No, I did not.

Where do you see that, because you read the word "mist"?

Personally, I think this is just what WoW needs. It was a loooooooooooooooooong time since we had anything "new" and fun to do aside from raiding, which in my honest opinion has been really, really boring in Cataclysm (Not because of the raids, but due to the fact that I've been doing it for 6 years). I've wanted an updated Gurubashi Arena thing for ages, I remember back in Vanilla when over 60 people would camp for the chest and killing each other. The fact that you'll be able to get old stuff back is also neat, I just hope none of this will end up being a disappointment.

Edit: To all the people saying they should use resources/manpower to develop PvE and PvP things instead... You don't seriously believe that Blizzard only has one giant group of people doing everything? It's quite obvious that they have different teams for different things. It -is- possible for a company as large as Blizzard to do several things at the same time, y'know.
... Now look at what you've done, you made me defend Blizzard.

As interesting as all of this sounds, I'm hopping in the "this kinda blows" category because I'm not going to be all gung-ho-happy-camper over some mini games that I can amuse myself with for ONE WEEK out of every month. The only really fun thing I can see out of this is the deathmatch, and unless they ban groups in the pit, it's just going to turn into a clusterf**k, wherein the same few groups of PvP savants farm it, and the rest are left to die. This honestly sounds like a flashy Argent Tournament, but one for which you get to wait three weeks to get back to grinding for tickets. I'd much rather see them dedicate the man power from this to go for something new and original. Just my thoughts. I know they won't be popular.

[Yunru]

So where is rollecoaster?

[Grithmir]

Holy shit, please don't let this be yet another "daily quest isle with a rep faction". Can we have some content that doesn't involve daily quests for once? They were cool in TBC, but they've gone crazy on them since Call of the Crusader. I for one miss a goold oldfashioned "grindy" faction that doesn't involve questing.

[EpicMJ18]

No...........

yes............ its so obvious.

[Snuffe]

3hrs Arena pit?? eeeeh can you even imagine that shit..it will be like 100+ players jumping down there. [server explodes]
or what?

[Bombkirby]

all very neat BUT WHERE IS IT?

Exactly my thoughts. Seems like its in the Gilnean woods..... but who knows?

[shimargh]

you know what's beyond the forest??..
...pandaria...


i'm just kidding here, btw. just contributing to the paranoia

That'll be hilarious. I'll be sure to be on during the late hours.

Monkeys with feces are classic. Hope they can throw them too, preferably at other pets and sparkly ponys. Your character should wear a sign while the pet is out though.

Or the 3rd Island of Tol Barad that's been there since Cata came out? The terrain does look the same as TB/Gilneas.

[Easo]

I am going to be soooo happy. Plus, i just love all the QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ......

[Deleted]

Ooh, sounds WELL neat! I'm gonna assume the mention of Heirlooms means those Heirloom legs & the rings are whats on offer in that respect? & I'm hoping the profession skillpoints means a way to level your professions without the need to grind for greens & such. maybe I'll be able to finish my mains smithing/mining... I still remember my first visit to the Darkmoon, ah memories...
