Title: Mists of Pandaria
Post by: Azunai on October 22, 2011, 02:25:11 PM
So.... we're definetly going to be the laughing stock at the LANs now aren't we? First just pixies, but now we get Kung Fu Panda ( I don't care if Pandaren came first, this is how the uninitiated will view it) and WoW pokemon thrown at us ;-)

Thoughts on it? Personally I think I'll like the challenge system. Keeps dungeons a bit more interesting - it's what I've been doing regardless, keeping up the pace. Nice to see it gets rewarded now :-) And these player scenario's sound kinda cool as well, curious to see how it pans out (pun intended)

I'm not so sure about the Pandaren content either. Very distant from the WoW-theme of the past... Espcially the whole Chinese architecture. When watching that video of the zones yesterday I kept trying to imagine WoW characters in that environment, and had a pretty difficult time doing so.

sod that panda's and pokemon, time for me to hang up my gaming gloves when the next expansion hits. going a bit to far for me now. Looks like blizzard thought "hey lets get some kids in to design the next expact"

Blizz Dev: " hey kid one, what would you like in the next expansion?

Kid one: " Kung Fu Panda's!!!!!"

Blizz Dev: " Sure why not."

Blizz Dev: " Hey kid 2, what would you like in the next expansion?"

Kid 2: "POKEMON!!!!!!!!!!!"

Blizz Dev: " you sure? why the heck not its not like we can think of anything else. cheers Kids, we will call on you for all the patch content aswell!"

^-- Sorta that. I'm hesitant to play the 'omg kiddy' card too soon, but to be honest I'm more interested in the DIII/SC2 news from Blizzcon at the moment. Especially that DIII CE looks incredibly sweet!

what a BS about the panda, they are part of the game(I know they are in WCIII). I actually like them and what do they have to do with pokemon?

You get to battle other ... I was about to type trainers ... players in turnbased battles with your vanity pets. You can level them and get them to hold items. Even the interface looks almost 1:1 to the Pokemon game. Hence WoW Pokemon ;-)

I know they are part of the game, but my point is so are gnomes. Doesn't mean I have to like it ;-)

They are raising the cap to 90.... :P

On topic, this expansion looks pretty good and a lot more vibrant than previous expansions. I can's wait to roll around as a fat Panda.

Is it 1st of April already? Panda Bears? Whats next? Cap to 95 in 2014 we gonna get a new class, the Donaldians? Ducklike mean fighting machines who got the Lich King rebirthed and he is now a giant chick,
throwing raw eggs at enemies? DXE and Teaell yell at you when yu step/stand into the yolk too often/long? Shamans can win a legendary one hand weapon with 1560 agility/600 expertise/1400 hit rating/2300 crit strike: "the mighty drumstick"?

T15 will be all feathers!

DIII looks really good right now...:devil:

The new WoW, is just like the new pokemon. They restarted the whole deal....
As for pokemon, it now really sucks, while wow is still pending until its released and I've played it for a month or more.

Though not 100% sure I will buy it. Diablo III looks awesome, and I don't really want to spend 4 hours a day no more for a "game".

I am intrigued about the monk class though, looks great.

Isnt an April fool sadly to answer above, Panderan's have been present in lore for a while (with the whole chinese thing going for them too) to be honest from what ive seen this expansion probably wont get me back gaming (that said its early days lol) Diablo 3 tho is looking brilliant (hope they keep the blizz link from WoW/SC2 to talk with friends etc on)...

Mists of pandera.....Meet SWTOR :D

Post by: Azunai on October 23, 2011, 11:00:50 PM
Of course they're going to keep in RealID :P The whole point of the system was to make that work across all future Blizzard games ;-)

Päls is happy over the Pandas in one way.. finally something that looks fatter in fur when Päls in bearform :D
otherwise Im not so sure what to think, more then its a bit too cute for me.. I do like new areas but pandas?
and karate? I would like something more like lizzards.. they would look great in game :yahoo: hehe.. i just feel like Blizz is tryng to take in something sweet looking into fights
and then maybe ppl won´t complain that WoW is responsable for many stupid things some ppl done and then blame it on playing WoW as media now been writing about for years.

Playing the beta i think the zones are pretty awesome. Torg says about the eastern theme....dont worry its not like a market town in bangkok!.... What i have played so far has been amazing! As a panda monk and transferred the druid but was laggy as hell.

In regards to the pokemon. TBH i thinks its silly but....you dont have to do it! It isnt in the blizz agreement that you must play 10 matches a week or you cant raid!....You dont like it...dont do it.simples....people dont like pvp so they dont play it.... Its not that much of an issue in my eyes....

Yes blizz want as much money as they can....which business doesnt?...!...?....So they have thrown in some crappy things like this to widen their market. Puttling other bits in like the dungeon challenges will appeal to the more "hardcore" "grownups"....

From what ive experienced playing i think its great. Cant wait for it. Gona fill my time with D3 and achieve grinding :P

@vlad....SWTOR is poop :roflmao:

Please don't post posts like Switchback's, or I might have to buy the expansion once again...



How does the Monk play then?
Title: Mists of Pandaria
Post by: Switchback on April 16, 2012, 07:02:32 PM
Its fun....dont really like the panda's tbh but :P....Yeah havent got her to high yet. But quite fun,just rolled as dps....works similar to rogue/feral....basic moves to get "points" up and then you can use those for other finishing or filling abilities.

Once im bit higher gona roll tank with her to see what thats like.

Have to say the environment has had alot of work go into it,the water,trees mountains look amazing even on my crappy comp. I honestly cant wait for it,yes some things i dont like about it but meh :P

Enough said, i like SWTOR, but not enough to drag me away from studies, or other games.. its just.. ok, but... "missing magic pixie dust appeal"
you know, that "something"

story line, its pretty damn fine, yes i`m not level 50 yea, no, i`m in no hurry to do so either, just rolling about
also some of the stuff, single player is hard, really hard, like vanilla wow, you vs 2 elites.. yes, they paste their fist into your face, then stamp on you when your down, not good, no, not at all sir !

I`ve used the new UI stuff, aye its a much bigger improvement upon the old one, but still, no addons, is making it a bit frustration, more so if your raiding, you cant really tell who`s slacking etc..

still if you love SWTOR or wow, or any game, then good on you

as you a gamer, nuff said

Totally agree with you amber was just having bit of fun with vlad ^^

My oppinion on starwars....i think its good,i loved the questing with choices but that was but it....like you i havent "raided" on it it just seemed to miss something for me....

Back on topic though,MoP is touching people in many ways :P good and bad but really we all just need to wait!

I, for one, am loving an addon-less experience :D

Well, we can now see who is slacking with MOX combat log parser.

We used it in the raid last night. It turns out the biggest slacker is Vargen!

Post by: Azunai on April 19, 2012, 04:42:23 PM
Ha! The game is utterly unplayable at the moment. Constant 4k+ ms, takes ages to kill anything or talk to q givers etc.

I guess it may be slightly better outside of the Pandaren starting zone as that's in a different instance, but until I have Torgen copied over I won't know.

It went well, btw :-) Hoping they'll call me up with positive news in the next few days, we'll see.
