Gotta say as someone who played wow for 6 years and just quit this year, i'm GLAD I quit. Pandas? PANDAS? REALLY? Ugh, what a dam shame this game has come to this, pandas. Out of the 13 friends i have in wow, who all were the most hardcore of wow players, ONE PERSON likes this and its juts cause they have a monk class! Pandas, really Blizzard? So sad, I really feel bad for those players who probably died a little inside when they heard this. I do wonder how China will like this news, cause we all know how important that market is to Blizz.
Monks look awesome, from the description MMOChamp is giving. :O
Love the pet battle system (especially the "find and battle wild pets" thing). Love the PvE challenge system. Love the DOTA battleground (unless it's too much like PvE), love the new talent system (so far; I'm skeptical), and most of all...
Resilience
Devs like the way Resilience works in PvP, and how it gives a nice goal for players looking to progress/upgrade their gear in PvP
Resilience is a pretty huge barrier for people who want to start PvPing.
Resilience will become a base stat, and will increase a little every time you level.
Could a moderator clean up this thread a bit? All these posts containing pretty much nothing but "pandas are stupid lololo" are crowding out all the legitimate posters who actually have an opinion of their own (whether negative or positive).
LOL do you think they are pandering to the children ? hahahahahaha
Its going to be pandamonium at Blizzard when they lose the millions of subs they are most likly to lose now . lol
Thats it I'm all out of Panda jokes .
I think whoever thought of this pile of steaming dog poo up really should start thinking about looking for a new job because hes soon for the chop ( yeah a kung fu panda chop )
2) Panda's have been a part of Warcraft since WC3. Lots of people have asked for this race as playable for years. Good for Blizz for finally sticking it up to China who censors everything to hell anyway.
3) WoW has always been rated PG12... Ain't that also what SWTOR and GW2 is going to be rated as? The most childish thing here is the smell of all these insecure people.
Wake the hell up - It's a silly computer game. they do it for the lulz. World of Warcraft is a game with cow men paladins on motorcycles. the joke is on you for crying all "buuhhh they ruined the game".
This looks wicked. And the pet battle system sounds cool. Kudos for Blizzard. I doubt I will play again, but I think it's a fresh direction. Sure as hell look more interesting than a lot of those "serious" games, that take themselves way to seriously. Just forget about pretending to live in a fantasy world because you feel inadequate!
Am I the only one who caught the "pet battle system"???? F*cking Pokemon WoW lol... this game is a disaster.
I'd like to hear your opinions about this further. Why is the pet battle system a bad thing for the game?
It's wow pokemon, and it is utterly retarded... the fact that I even need to explain this speaks volumes...
I know you think it's retarded, but why is it bad for the game?
Because it is decisions like this that make players like me, never, ever, want to resub... Which cannot be good for a game trying to hold on to their ever slimming playerbase...
Wow if all it takes is some pandas to get rid of the human-filth from WoW.
I kind of wished they had done it sooner.
Unfortantely I think its just the opposite. WoW will be flooded with even younger people now. Get ready when your vent has a majority of kids on it. Sure, there was always that one kid who you raided with. But now, just wait. Good business move for Blizz, bad game move for the gamer.

And Kalfer wins the thread.
I've still yet to hear why everything they're doing is some terrible atrocity. 80% of this thread is filled with "x feature is bad," but not one of them has given a legitimate reason.
Personally I'm very excited, not only for the expansion (which I may buy... maybe not; depends on the gear grind), but for the fact that they're coming out with awesome new features. Almost all these features could be thrown into another game and it'd work just as great.
They're trying to move away from autoattack; good! (though autoattack isn't really a big deal unless you do away with spam abilities like TOR has). They're obviously listening to what people want, and are using WoW as their test platform. This will spark all the other MMORPGs in the future to adopt/create new features.

I'd rather game with a 13 year old who likes fun looking artwork.
Than a leet dood who's mad that he can't wank off to the new polygons.
I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

pokemon battle thingy sounds cool, like a guild wars 1 Polymock is

I'm wondering what kind of graphic update they are talking about.
By Blizzard's standards that can only mean one of two things:
-new and exciting Dx11 underwater blur
-instead of needing a 12year old PC to run WoW, for the panda-addon you'll need at least a 9 year old PC
Not really, AD&D 1st ed monk was quite cool.
Panda monks on the other hand...
/facepalm
As WoW players get older Bliz targets ever younger audience. Smart.
Oh well... it's all about the chinese market nowadays so...

Fuck yeah!
I may just resubscribe.
Sarcasm is not a crime!
Really......this game is a joke. What's next, we can play Elmo or Ronald Mc Donald.
My vote is for Teletubbies or Barney.
panda... LOOOL!
This is depressing and hilarious at the same time.
I'm still trying to figure out if this is fake or not...it has to be, right?
=P

What's the problem?
WoW was never serious in at the very least the art direction....
Am I the only one who caught the "pet battle system"???? F*cking Pokemon WoW lol... this game is becoming even more of a joke than it already is.
I'd like to hear your opinions about this further. Why is the pet battle system a bad thing for the game?

Guess I wasn't out of Panda jokes after all .

I know you think it's retarded, but why is it bad for the game?

No auto attack! Devs want you to have this street fighter feel where you punch a lot
Didn't take them long.

I kind of wished they had done it sooner.
I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
A lot of you sound like you are in denial.
Here is the scope;
1) Panda bears are freaking cool.
2) Panda's have been a part of Warcraft since WC3. Lots of people have asked for this race as playable for years. Good for Blizz for finally sticking it up to China who censors everything to hell anyway.
3) WoW has always been rated PG12... Ain't that also what SWTOR and GW2 is going to be rated as? The most childish thing here is the smell of all these insecure people.
