Mists of Pandaria Login Screen Preview

I love it ! Good job Blizz! Reminiescent of Vanilla!

Usually you only hear the first 15~ seconds of the login screen music. Glad that I don't have to listen to a serial killer murder scene every time I log out. Love it!

Shortest forearms ever...

Absolutely love it.

Not to mention the music - It's the vanilla soundtrack remixed. It's awesome.

God, remember Wotlk when you would frantically hammer in your password to avoid getting shouted to death... And if you misstyped a single letter ROOOOOAAAAAAARRRHGGHGHGH!!!

*Not sure if Pandaria login screen or Blood elf loginscreen* :x

Looks terrible

When ingame trees will wave in the wind ?

Yeah, I feel you on that one, wish they would use more of the colour scheme from The Jade Forest and such, with lots of colours.

Blizz have some nerve to rip off LoTR like that.
That's all I'm saying.

a bit bland compared to deathwing laying an egg in stormwind however it is nice and peacefull and i like the leaves floating past :S

Can you explain how that is in anyway "amazing"?

It's like looking at a screenshot with some flowers in the foreground.. Totally disappointing.

Bland, hideous, boring, uninspired.

After two different versions of the Dark Portal, a vista of Icecrown and pretty epic imagery of Deathwing on Stormwind's rooftops, this is a rather paltry offering. I would have expected them to capitalise on the bright, vivid colours that the Chinese-inspired architecture and landscapes could display and make Pandaria seem a beautiful and mysterious place to discover. Instead it's a dull pallette and unremarkable statues of an unremarkable new enemy they're introducing. Even something highlighting the increasing tensions between the Alliance and Horde would have been better than this.

Says a lot about the direction of WoW; while I won't say that gameplay is slipping - obviously it's not, a lot of people still love to play - but for the story aspect, it's now picking through a mire of humdrum new enemies and storylines to find the few interesting scraps. The MoP login screen makes Pandaria look, to me, uninteresting and not worth renewing to play through. It doesn't sell me on the Mogu as a fearsome enemy to be reckoned with.

The new remix of the WoW theme music is pleasant, at least.

You mean staring at the horrible Deathwind model?

When I'm looking at the other Aspects, they look amazing. Deathwing looks like he was modeled by a infant.

I love how Inabu infers gameplay related factors from his subjective assessment of the login screen.

That's actually exactly what I didn't do. If you bothered to read the post, you'd know that.

I think this is pretty baller in comparison to the previous login screens. In my mind, a login in screen should be what it is, an entrance into the game... and with this they have done that. With cata and wrath login screens, you were confronted by bosses which was cool I guess, but didn't really leave any mystery as to what you are stepping into. This, I feel does that.

On a side note, it's just a login screen so it really wouldn't make a difference to me either way. Giving that 'entrance' design does however give an epic feeling of upcoming adventure.

That music.....the only thing that ever makes me want to go back to WoW

Love the music, as always. Good job on that front. Utterly woeful log-in screen, in my humble opinion. Obviously it screams LotR Pillars of the Kings with inferior/different graphics, but that's not really the point. As far as epic/mystery goes, they could have chosen so much better. Color-wise, awful, no way am I looking forward to gazing at that every day for the next 2 years. Almost zero chance it'll be changed, obviously, but here's to hoping.
