[Official Thread] Mists of Pandaria!

[Bombkirby]

not the whol post, just the part about voice overs.

and trust me, i like the look and feel of WoW, but i think cartoon panda's cross a line in my book.

We already have giant cartoony cow men. I don't see why yall think giant ****ING bears (thats right...BEARS) would be any less awesome. And hating something just because you think it's not violent enough/mature enough is....very small minded. Why let such a stupid pet peeve stop you from enjoying something fun?

Don't know if this has been posted or not, but Wrath of the Lich King's trademark was filed July 28,2007 then announced at the following Blizzcon. This seems to be a real good indication that Mist of Pandaria has real potential to be the next expansion. They have to file a trademark before announcing it in a couple months and it fits exactly with the timeframe of Wrath. For reference, Cata was first filed June 26th, 2009.

On top of that, the Pandaren Brewmaster hero class in WC3: TFT was able to hold its own against most of the others. I remember Chen regularly crunching out more damage than Cairne and the shadow hunter whose name escapes me when I did the Battle for Theramore.

Amen Mr.Kirby!

[Calzaeth]

Am I the only one thinking that they may intend to create a new game, different from WoW, with pandaren as the heroes? I mean, just because we know of WoW, Diablo, Starcraft and Titan, doesn't mean that they can't juggle other balls, right? :P

[Sauredfangs]

Wheres Boubouile when you need 'em?

[Deleted]

so the question is : will the pandas be a neutral race who can chose both sides and some of the exisiting classes, or will the panda be a special class

[Herecius]

He's furiously calling his ultra-secret government and Blizzard contacts via direct satellite uplink.

[Black Rider]

Please give Pandarian Monk class!!!
Boubouille
Tell us that is true please

[Kathandira]

<so going to get flamed and hated>

so, just speculation and assumption, will this separate the ones who like traditional fantasy and those who like disney? i mean, with SwotR becoming an option soon will that be what makes those who would rather not be playing hello kitty island adventure leave and not come back this time? and would the furries stay for the hott panda on cow sexxx?

Don't be silly. We all know that Blizzard and the ultra-secret government are the ones calling him/ her/ it.

A class that lets you morph into a panda? What? XD

Unrelated Fun fact from WoWpedia. The rumor about China being against playable Pandas is 100% myth as there are several games out in China with playable Pandas that are susceptible to death.

[Zentul]

This could just be a flash game for all we know, lets not get TOO excited just yet :P

[Deleted]

Boub will tell the same as we have, the trademark is real. You can't fake trademarks.

[Suikoden]

Hmmmm well this find is certainly interesting...

[Cactrot]

Not too shabby, but an expansion based on Pandaria just means this game is really leaning towards casual.



I mean:

Who's the Raid boss?
Is Pandaria really that dangerous?
Expansion centered on Pandaria? I sense lore disapointment.
People Fighting in Pandaria?
Will this Expansion focus on Social aspects?(because there wont be lots of dungeons and battlegrounds)
Sucking up to China?

People seem to forget that not every villain in WoW has always existed. Did you know that Arthas, the big baddie of Wotlk WASN'T a big baddy in WC2? Amazing, I know. The lore changes. They are constantly adding to it. The fact that you/we don't know of a big pandaran baddy doesn't mean there isn't one. All the worry about "running out of villains" I see is hilarious. Like they can't just add in more. Lore in mmos updates constantly, if you want it to remain with what was established before the game came out, you're playing the wrong kind of games.

The problem was that Samwise made Samurai Pandas.
