dissapointed on that new talent system.
way too simple, I mean, basically, you get to choose 6 out of 18 spells, and they think this will create more diversity between each spec?
if that's the case, they need to come up with more mandatorial ACTUAL choices because I took a look at the talents for all classes, and its fairly obvious what option to take on each tier depending if you're doing pvp, pve, and what role you take (DPS heal or tank)
like the last tier for DKS.
Gorefiend's grasp is a DUH for tanks, as it allows to pull multiple mobs together and get snap aggro on them, Remorseless Winter is a DUH for PVE Dks (regardless of spec) to kill adds and general trash pulls, and Desecrated Ground is DUH for pvp.
I'm hoping this changes before the expansion goes live (and its posible it happens, given how much cataclysm changed from what was shown in 2009 to what actually made it live, including the worgen models which look VASTLY different than what was shown initially)
also, they said that the "no auto-attack" thing for monks may or may not be final =(
this is the one thing that made the class THE most unique form of melee class posible, I mean, you dont ever see casters having to wand the target between casts (wanding is their equivalent of auto-attacking).
casters ALLWAYS have a spammable attack that they repeat to fill the gaps in their rotations. It would had been awesome to have a melee class that functions like that, ALWAYS spamming a move, rather than rely on white damage to fill the gaps while their resource reloads, or refills itself.
it would also remove proc-dependance (something I loathe as it makes your DPS too much RNG dependant)
I hope the monks end up having no auto-attacks, besides, having no white damage would mean their skills would have to hit harder to compensate =D I love seeing big yellow numbers.

T_T ohh god, just looking at the temple of the jade and the shodo-pan monastery videos makes me drool WAY MORE than the b-roll for cataclysm ever did, (The zen music helps TREMENDOUSLY)
this is gonna be a longer than usual wait for me, I'm SO FRIKKING EAGER taht this expac is released.
What is the motivation that the Pandaren have for fighting each other?
Something that is hard to get across in the demos is that the pandaren that live on the turtle have been seperated from the pandaren on the mainland for ages. Its almost like a splinter culture. They are the ones that you as players you are going to play. They are going out to the world. You can see these events in the 1-10 experience. By the time your Pandaren gets to 85/90 you have traveled the world fighting for the Aliance and Horde.
When the Pandaren meet eachother on the field they are more of WHATS UP instead of being pissed at eachother. They would probably be drinking beer right after. All the sort of anger, hatred and other negative energies become the Sha. It literally can come and bite you in the butt.
They dont want to bring all that bad bagage into a fight. When a Pandaren fights he fights to reach a conclusion. When things are settled you take a beer.
wow, you know what? even though I love the battle-culture of the orcs, I'm starting to REALLY like the lore behind the pandaren. This is a very intresting and nice aproach to combat. Fight but dont hate :P
You wrote the book Blood and Honor, are you planning on writing something else in the future?
Writing made me nervous and was exciting, it is different than the writing we have to do for the game but maybe one day I will do another.
I wish he'd wrote another one, blood and honor is one of the best warcraft books there is, even if it was a tad bit too short.
Heres what we are going to do: I dont know exactly where its going to drop, we are tyrying to get this for 5.0. Varian has the possibility to be a very awesome char. There will be a really awesome questline where Varian really shines out as a character. You will be his squire and will help Varian be an awesome character. And all the Alliance races WILL
worship
Varian as a true king.
ugh :S /puke
why coundn't they just focus on a more badass alliance character? come on blizz, everyone with half a brain knows that Muradin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> varian.
I read the shattering and the short story and Cairne Bloodhoof seems like he's walking the Sunwalker path.
It can go a lot of ways. The sunwalker thing, everybody had a fit when it came out. It just did not feel all that right. Sunwalker was an attempt to atleast try and realise the lore and make sure it would fit as well as it could fit and the quest designers did a good job figuring that out. I dont think its appropriate for a tauren leader, I like the idea that Baine and Cairne are not supernatural people, they are just Tauren. Im not a huge fan of making them a sunwalker. I dont think we have solid plans yet of where Baine was going to go.
aww dammit >.< there goes that dream. I was kinda hoping Baine would become a sunwalker (specially since he now wields a light-blessed hammer)

humm delt, I hadn't looked at it that way, but yes, you are right, its 80% likely that the talents we've seen today will NOT be anywhere near what will be available once MoP goes live.
Also, while it has been stated elsewhere, I find it ironic how the acronym for Mists of Pandaria is MoP; given that this expansion will have to mop the mess made by cataclysm. xD
still pissed off that they will be focusing on VARIAN out of all people on MoP :S why coudn't they have chosen Muradin? not only he's my favorite alliance hero (I lie, Lothar is my favorite alliance hero, but he's dead, so yhea.....) he's THE most badass character in the alliance, come on, he's the closest thing the alliance has to a saurfang.
and unlike varian, Muradin is actually a likeable character with plenty of redeeming qualities, :S

This is a fan created female pandaren model along with the official male pandaren model. I.....actually like it.
Edit: This works too:

o_O I AM impressed, you actually want a model that does NOT feature any dimorphism? :P
gotta say I like the first one you linked.
Sadly as someone else said in this forum..........
Female pandaren
SHOULD
look like
this
but considering the trend they've followed with all females of bulky races (such as draenei, worgens, taurens, ect) they will
PROBABLY
look like
this
which I must say woudn't surprise me in the least......
=/ if a race is bulky, males and females SHOULD be bulky. You CAN have cute females in a bulky race if you know how to draw and design them, you dont need to make them xerox copies of a barby doll to achieve that effect. Said models MAY work on females of more humanoid races (like elves, and maybe even trolls) but on more bulky animalistic races, it feels weird to have males and females that are so vastly different from each other.
Seriously, if you showed a screenshot of a male draenei and a female draenei to someone who doesn't play wow, at first they'd think they are 2 different species.
o_O where did u heard that bit with garrosh?

ok this is just insulting >=(
http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2011/october/art03.jpg
so we're not a class anymore? we're not good enough to be standing there with the others?
>.<
Maybe because... IT'S NOT READY YET?
its not like its a complex science you know? as my friend from the guild says: "when in doubt, just grab the first piece of plate you can think of, and slap some skulls on it"
and there you go.
And then you would $%^&* and moan that it looks like ass compared to the rest.
NONE of them look good.
It is like someone vomited all over their computer screen and called it T13.

sigma, they said that the model update IS happening.
they stated that they are concerned that some players wont like the change, but said concerns wont stop them from doing it anyways, because at this point, they badly need it.
for example the bone structure of the pandaren model has 10 times more complexity and pixels than the other races in the game, and they want other races to be just like that. Hell, they are so detailed that belts, boots and gloves have their OWN animations on them, rather than be a skin-tight plain thing on them.
They've stated that they want all armor pieces to be as striking as the helmet and shoulders (Who use their own animations separated from the body) and for that to happen, an update to the base model of all races (except maybe goblins and worgens who are already detailed and complex enough) is needed.
that being said, they can add new animations to old models without updating them, the human models now have an animation for going into 4 limbs if you are a worgen and use running wild while still human. That's new, and so far the human model hasn't recieved any updates.
