Mists of Pandaria

[Willson]

Have you seen a Draenei (not the Lost Ones) pre-BC? No. I guess retconning them into existence is TOTALLY impossible.

and tbh atleast we could see a draenei even it is lost we heard the names of it and high elves to but NOT panda's.. they do not belong to the real history

[Gurbz]

Ow Sideline Story Re think this for World of warcarft Have you seen a PANDA not as a compain pet in world of warcaft History NOT warcraft
srsly never seen a panda patroling around so no thanks...

and what we will search for new Brews?

Because there were a ton of Draenei wandering around before TBC, right?

Why is everyone so scared about playing as giant ****ING BEARS???? Thats right. BEARS. We already have giant cows....one of the most docile and boring animals on the planet. And now we finally get a race based off a cool animal and what does everyone do? They CRY!!!They wont be cute and adorable most likely (even if they are who cares? They're pretty big anyways.) They'll probably look like the figurine they sell in the blizz store:

Why are you so certain that Pandaren will become a playable race?
In fact, I would call it extremely unlikely that they become a playable race given the title "Mists of Pandaria"; if either faction were granted the Pandaren race there would be a blatant bias towards that said-faction.

Amusing how people don't know that Pandaran are super Switzerland. Why get involved if they don't want to nor have to? It'll be interesting to see what Blizzard comes up with to break the extremely neutral faction of Azeroth.

We saw Pandaren in WC3 bro.

I love how so many people here are jumping to conclusions and passing final judgment on something that we only know three words about, one of which is a preposition.

Because adding a new race means it has to be playable.

Why are you so certain they wont be? And where did I say they'd be playable? I said we'll get a new race. Didn't say they'd be playable. We got the walrus guys in Wotlk for example. Didn't say they were playable though.

Kirby it doesn't matter what they look like... It's the Concept... The Lore... The thought of HOW you could incorporate this and still have a Crazy awesome Antagonist, Protagonist ect ect...

Like even if you never saw a picture of Deathwing.. You knew he was a magic wielding, Dragon badass... I conjured up an image of Lord Prestor in my that's for sure when I read Day of the Dragon. Same applies for Illidan (Demon), Lich King/Arthas ('Humanoid-Undead') This is just a completely absurd concept and any conceivable Protagonist would be a JOKE.

Edit : Unless Panderans had nothing to do with the Stories Main group of 'Baddies' and then WHY the FK would you call the expansion "Mists of Pandaria"

Didn't you hear? WC3 apparently isn't Warcraft.

The thing is we don't knooooow the lore yet. Why hate/like something before knowing ANNNNYTHING about it? It could make perfect sense once they shed some light on it! It might not. It probably will though. None of the playable races have had totally outrageous reasons for joining their respective sides. And this is Blizzard we're talking about and not some nobody indie game company that makes crappy "Early Childhood" games.

Welcome to the pre-Blizzcon Xpac jitters.

[Willson]

Okay what ever... even the ponys take control of this game i will be still playing this game so no need to argue about this anymore i accept panda's were in warcaft history which sucks but nothin to do i love this game

[Siam]

I think you missed the word Switzerland. Neutral. Very neutral. No reason to be on a faction. That is all.

[Kuja]

Woot! So the old "leaked" expansion schedule is right after all! Or at least partially...

And that's where the speculation comes in. Maybe the end of this expansion sets up for Pandaria? Maybe Deathwing flees there? Maybe it could be a huge Alliance vs Horde scenario with each faction trying to settle on Pandaria. Hell, for all we know, the Burning Legion is invading again and using Pandaria as a foothold because the rest of Azeroth simply does not normally travel to Pandaria so they'd be met with little resistance. It could literally be ANYTHING.

I'm sorry my sarcasm didn't translate across the internet. I was getting at the fact you pointed out the obviousness of it not being a playable race.

People need to stop being stupid

[XKraid]

except we -have- heard the names of them, on several occasions

[Deleted]

So a Humanoid Panda, Master in Martial Arts is just a Joke? I think you see a lot of movies.... go Wowpedia and read a little about their lore, Joke? they are one of the most serious race in WarCraft Lore but maybe I think you can't forget the fact they born in a April's Fool.
