Mists of Pandaria Login Screen Preview

I have a feeling this isn't legit.

This looks too peaceful

Why do people keep mentioning Russians?

Wow.. it doesn't have a dragon in it... yet...

far too plain and boring.
Not enough animation.

looks like this guys? so it's ukrainian, not russians)

I'mokaywiththis.jpg =P

Love it. Looks really nice and peaceful!

Yeah there's not enough movement... at all...

I like the idea it's really nice and i like the whole idea of this place awaits you etc etc... BUT Other than a few leaves (which btw look so out of place it's infront of the whole screen - not even in the background) moving about, it's just a picture...

So we basically got a STILL background picture and they made some leaves scatter over your screen while it happens. Looks kind of half assed if you ask me - but i bet it'll change like the Cata one did.

Cata used to be Maelstrom, then a Twilight Hammer cultist portal and finally deathwing on Stormwind. This will probably change too.

Not gonna lie, I like it. Someone said not enough animation, but I think it's a good representation of the desired tranquility in the land.

But did those others ever actually make it to beta? I thought those were just prototypes they worked on that wouldn't have seen the light of day if they hadn't shown them at the Blizzcon art panel.

Fju-- no dragon at last.

My guess is reference to yet another of those cheap TV comedy series that shape up the mind of the yanks ;D Same as "in soviet russia". Only the yanks can use the same retarded TV-show joke for years and still think it's somehow witty/funny %)

It's there! Behind the statues!! Watch closer!
j/k

Does it matter? How much time will you spend looking at it? =P

I was hoping for an idle panda in the screen just looking around or bobbling or something, then every few minutes roaring... damn I are disappointed.

Eh... I find it kind of boring. Not something I really want to keep staring at like Wrath and Catas screens. I really like there to be something "living" and moving in the login screens... like the dragons? Love em. Maybe if there was a cloud serpent that flew by every once and a while it'd be more interesting (no, it doesn't have to roar, shush).

Told you so:

...though I had also envisioned a more vibrant one with two of them sparring while changing colors in a Shifting Seasons scheme depicting Alliance vs. Horde, Pandaren vs. Mogu and Heroes vs. Sha(Light and darkness etc.)

i rather like it.. reminds me of the vanilla days. also as many have stated it brings the tranquility of the pandarens to the front, with just a hint of trouble with giant statues holding spears

No screaming dragons, thank you Blizz.

Peaceful and simple!
