Apparently Blizzard registered this name.

I thought they couldnt have panda's in WoW because of China, also this is raping the universe even more. But I guess they are beyond caring now. Prob lots of people will come back to play as Brewmasters.

didn't the last expansion had something like werewolves with top hat? and we are worrying about panda's?

am i missing something?

chronovore · « **Reply #2 on:** August 03, 2011, 06:46:03 AM »

You're saying they're panda-ring to their audience?

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #3 on:** August 03, 2011, 07:44:05 AM »

Magus, one of the most popular things in WC3 was the Pandaren unit, a Panda Brewmaster.

Appernetly they couldnt add it to WoW because the Chinese wouldnt approve, now it seems to be back in.

The problem is the Pandaren were a tiny portion of WC, it would be weird to base an entire expansion pack on them. Blizzard is really destroying the lore even further.

Isn't WoW dying? They are probably trying to add every gimmicky, fan requested, feature before the cow shrivels up.

magus · « **Reply #5 on:** August 03, 2011, 07:53:18 AM »

oh i didn't know,i thought this was something like "panda are too wacky for a game like WoW!" or something

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #6 on:** August 03, 2011, 08:08:53 AM »

Yeah I thought so, anyhoo. Pandaren where an Easter Egg in WC3. Kind of like the Cow Level in Diablo lets say.

But now Blizz seems so desperate to cash in they could base real expansion on a joke.

@archie: I think it has hit a ceiling yes, but it will remain bigger then anything for quite a while.

As initially stated by Bashiok and confirmed by J. Allen Brack, production director of World of Warcraft, you will be getting an 11th character slot for your monk. Players without the Mists of Pandaria expansion attached to their account will be restricted to only 10 characters. You must upgrade to Mists for #11.

The format of how Blizzard tells its story will change in this expansion, too. Mists of Pandaria itself, the game that comes in the box, will be a full, contained story. The entire arc of Mists of Pandaria will be there when you install the game, before any content patches at all. The content patches will be treated as sequels to that story. We will arrive on Pandaria when we install the game, have our adventures, and then see that story end. When the first patch hits, we will see Pandaria begin to be truly ravaged by our war.

While the steps taking us there are still unknown, Metzen did reveal that the war waged in those patches will reach a massive conclusion: We will lay siege to Orgrimmar to remove the mantle of warchief from Garrosh Hellscream's shoulders. It didn't sound as if it would be an Alliance-only venture, so it seems the new Warchief of the Horde will get a little too Old School Grom for their taste. However, there is a possibility that the Horde will get to deal a similar blow of their own ... Knowing the fate of Garrosh Hellscream, it's possible nobody is safe this expansion.

But the biggest surprise? Kosak ended the preview with the following: "So ... we're not talking about release dates yet. But I will tell you that, um, all of this (gesturing to Kun-Lai Summit, then Vale of Eternal Blossoms, then Jade Forest, then Krasarang Wilds, then Valley of the Four Winds) is completely quested. Full of content."

Xmas release so?

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #11 on:** March 19, 2012, 01:09:05 PM »

I wonder how long they've been working on it, and how many new zones/areas it has in comparison to Cata which felt kinda of small.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #12 on:** March 19, 2012, 02:18:16 PM »

Well Cata felt small but it was kind of a reboot of the whole pre TBC game so that it would remain a viable option for newcomers.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #13 on:** March 19, 2012, 02:43:18 PM »

In five years, WoW will probably consist of just PD playing a mantaur pvping Manabyte as a panda. It still won't be a game, either.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #14 on:** March 19, 2012, 05:16:59 PM »

cant believe i was suckered into buying the annual pass $:-\$

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #15 on:** March 19, 2012, 05:40:20 PM »

Well you get D3 for free now, so thats cool.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #16 on:** March 19, 2012, 05:40:56 PM »

From waht i've played of the beta I don't think it's that good. $:-\$

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #17 on:** March 19, 2012, 05:46:12 PM »

To each his own, but why did you get an annual pass then?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #18 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:29:29 PM »

If he actually had, I'm guessing for the same reason he's claiming to have got one in the first place- so he can troll like a little bitch.

Since 4.3 was the final Cata patch, I doubt Blizzard is going to make people wait until Christmas for more content. July/August probably.

May=Diablo 3, July/Agust=MoP perhaps? Seems too optimistic. And it makes me wonder whether HOTS is being delayed :'(

i thought i'd play it for the year but i barely put anytime in after completing LFR once. it was like "yup this is stupid"

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #23 on:** March 21, 2012, 12:36:37 AM »

Challenge modes sound awesome. We used to time instance runs back during WoTLK, especially the Halls instances which could take time regardless of your gear.

Beta is about to start:

If it's as complete as the previews made it sound and if beta is starting very soon, it probably will be a July/August release.

Cravis · « **Reply #25 on:** March 21, 2012, 12:03:04 PM »

When I first saw the pandas I was thought maybe Blizzard had cut a deal with Dreamworks and added the Kung Fu Panda license to WoW.

Beta starting very soon. Mac users can download it now:

Panda mount:

Doesn't make sense to give Pandas a flying mount as there is no flying until max level on Pandaria.

People are saying this is the actual Panda mount:
