[Official Thread] Mists of Pandaria!

[Deleted]

Lol that would be cool. It doesn't seem like it is serious though. They go from Demons, Scourge Undead, Cataclysmic Destruction, to.... PANDAS!

at this point blizzard could sell turds with top hats and it would be taken seriously.

Other side? Please don't say you... Oh god.

I always wondered, if the map is actually the whole world of Azeroth, wouldn't Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms be RIGHT next to each other? And that before the Sundering, almost all of Azeroth was land?

I would hope they are not playable.

Which faction gets them?!?! Whichever one doesn't is gonna QQ big time.

"Blizz loves horde cause they gave them panda bears!!!"

Give enough differences between two different clans of Pandaren and have them be part of a succession war in Pandaria, and you can have both factions with Pandaren. Maybe give one side the military caste and the other side the priest caste (but don't limit classes either way, it just results in one caste being bulkier and the other being slimmer to subscribe to Blizzard's policy of silhouette recognition).

Sounds like they might be horde..Would make sense to have a horde this XPac with out a mount.

" Pandaren are bipedal creatures, but their ursine forms allow them to move at tremendous speed on four limbs. When a pandaren drops down to all fours, his speed increases greatly. He must have nothing in his hands to use quadrupedal movement."

I have some speculation!

I believe the "Mists of Pandaria" is an expansion.

Maybe a certain dangerous mist came from Pandaria and will be in the sea, maybe we'll go to islands and explore the cause of the mist. We can say Azshara did this!

Small speculation.

Always were

Um, no. Panderan were an april fools joke a while back

I'm so calling this Panda.

F T P.

we should it mits, much better. it would probably go with mists or MoP though

[Ascius]

They'd probably look like that figurine on the Blizz store...

Blizzard... Shut up and take my money!

[Treesuss]

Btw if this is true OP is a pretty awesome guy and should be noted as the person who found the next expansion...

[TaylorGang]

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.

Yes I see where you're coming from. Cartoon orcs. Undead people, Blood elf and night elf, Cows that walk on two feet? Sure... But pandas? HOW DARE THEY TOUCH PANDAS....

well, we don't know who the enemy would be, as the pandaren don't seem like they'd be too evil-kill everyone-chaos-ish. it could be a return of the legion, old gods, naga, maybe even some enemy we've hardly/never even heard of before

[Nerraw]

Um, no. Panderan were an april fools joke a while back

Have you ever played Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne? The bonus Orc campaign that pretty much set up the Orcs' history in Kalimdor prior to WoW.

They are giving us a new continent that we know nothing about and people are raging about pandas...

The Pandaren are also very gentle. Garrosh's behaviors would be a major turnoff. My personal belief is that we won't see them as playable unless, like I noted above, Blizzard gives physical differences to two different factions and one joins the Horde, the other joins the Alliance. Pandaren are.... really damned popular, it would likely be seen as a major insult if one faction gets them and the other doesn't. A hero class available to all, with a starting experience taught by pandaren, would be much easier to work with, thematically speaking if not in terms of game mechanics/balance.

Awww jesus, not this pandaran shit

WHY BLIZZARD?? WHY??

[Deleted]

This looks strangely real, but I'm not completely convinced, yet .. the whole idea of pandaren going canon sounds outrageous to me ..

Then again, this probably means it's real. When there was speculation about playable worgen I thought it was BS, too.

[hammock]

and this time if Boubz says it's true I believe him, no running naked around Paris for him.

darn

OT: Looking possible. I hope Kul Tiras is in it aswell...........been wanting to go to that place for years

i think hes refering to a comment from blizzard, they said before somewhere that pandarians were sort of a joke and wont make an appearance in WoW. i think they made that comment, sure i heard it somewhere :P

[DaHomieG]

Calling the expansion "Pandaria" and not giving Brewmasters/Monks? No.

I know that the Brewmaster was in WC3 and it was a Pandaren.. But I mean anyone can be a brewmaster, think of it. Dwarves and Orcs already are.
