Brewmaster is going to be the tank spec.

Their taunt is offering up vintage brew.

.... And now that's my monk's taunt macro.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

People are surprised that Pandaren is a race. This is strange, since Blizzard has planned them in WoW since Burning Crusade at least.

I'm also not to thrilled with the Blizzard community having members that call people "Furries" or "Under 5" for liking some of the ideas of the new expansion

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Oh my God.

The Pet Battle System is ****ing Pokemon Lite.

That is hilariously awesome.

I'm not too thrilled with the Pandaren's racial aesthetic either, Psycho. I'm kinda with those people. I do enjoy what the Pandaren are bringing to the setting: Eastern-inspired lore.

Smooth Criminal

 

[fkacyan]

Pokemon lite, psh. I'm most excited about challenge mode dungeons.

I can't wait to be that guy with all the Gold Medals.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

No auto attack! Devs want you to have this street fighter feel where you punch a lot

Well, this is going to be interesting

(Monk specific)

SWTOR is doing it with all of their classes.

I actually kind of like that. I like pressing buttons.

Thio:

Challenge Dungeons do sound like a lot of fun. Cosmetic gear is always nice for RP and Transmog.

Major Class Changes:

Ranged Weapons

Hunter minimum range is gone!

Hunter melee weapon is gone!

AWWWWW YEAAAA

Sounds neat. wtb account wide achievements so I have incentive to play another character at some point in time.

I like the look of the new ability system. Take Unholy Frenzy, then Pillar of Frost, them Vampiric Blood, etc etc.

 

[Azua]

I have no idea what's going on but panda people? Really?

Yeah, I know. I'm with you on that.

...but monks yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Your wish is going to be granted, Thio. :3 *points to MMO champion.*

Me too.

Edit: They're...making the classes even more unique. Take a look at what they're doing with Warlocks...

*head explodes from hype.*

[Azua]

Someone link me so I know whether or not I should be angry.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Druids now have 4 talent trees? Well that's interesting. They always kind of did but I still find it strange it's now seperated

Warlock sounds the most exciting of the changes.

Shaman, eh...I'll see with more info

Check it out, Azua.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Azua]

Thanks.

Talent system actually sounds a bit better.

 

[fkacyan]

Account wide achievements

oh man

oh man

ohmanohmanohmanohmanohman

look at my point count

NOW I CAN PLAY OTHER CHARACTERS

 

[Azua]

looooooooooooooool


World Raid bosses return?? Does that mean we can drag them into SW again? :3

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I have no idea how blizzard think this talent tree is going to stop cookie cutter builds, but I like how it makes it so you have to make choices you can't go back on.

If I get this, I can't get that. Love it.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

They're starting the talent tree panel!

HYPE GET

Oh, geez.

Any Warrior can have Throwdown? Any Rogue can have Shadowstep?

:D This sounds awesome.

Smooth Criminal

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

My prediction is the removal of the distinction between exotic pets and normal pets

 

[fkacyan]

Simplification of talents sounds kinda meh, tbh. wtb talent trees AND ability choice.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

*head tilt.*

Fair point, but still.

It does add a degree of versatility that wasn't apparent in the previous games. I like that you can have a unique array of ability choices.

Edit: ...Druids can ****ing teleport now?

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm kinda confused how having a single talent tree for all specs is going to remove cookie cutter builds/ make differences in players of the same spec

 

[Asdioh]

I have the video linked

oh my gog

look at the likes:dislikes ratio holy crap!

people have been asking for pandaren FOREVER though. blizzard's giving them what they want..? or have they legitimately had this planned, lol

LMAO

Quoting Shrek:

Smooth Criminal

Quoting Warcraft 3 Mountain King: "Can ye put some bonus points in me drinking skill?"


Ahh there's too much to look at right now. Someone should give me the lowdown on the big things.

I don't care about pet battles and stuff, but the ways talents are changing is mildly interesting.

this is exactly why i never recovered my account, this is ridiculous.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Why doesn't Blizzard release cinematic trailers anymore?

The one for Burning Crusade was magnificent.

Now, we get in game crap.

 

[Asdioh]

Whoa, I just realized that.

Surely there will be a cinematic trailer for this...?

._. or is it too late?

The BC, WotLK, and Cata ones were all awesome. aka all of them.

 

[Teth]

Today was a great day, that's all I've gotta say.

 

[Asdioh]

so what big stuff has been announced for each game (obviously i know pandas, new expansion for WoW) and is there anything left to be announced today/tomorrow?

We've never had animated Expac reveals.

I guess not.

What I remember was the commercials they showed in game stores and the likes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp5XsILypYQ

Which is the cinematic opening

 

[Omnicron's Baklava Enterprises]

Mists of Pandaria is the worst expansion ever.
I'm calling it right this moment.

Everything I've read about it up to this point makes me want to believe it's all a joke.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I like the art design I've seen of the world so far. I'm willing to give it a chance.

Besides, Blizzard has been planning on adding the Pandaren since the beginning. Fans have asked for it for every expansion. It was inevitable it would happen

 

[Asdioh]

?

I need to print out the form, fill the stuff out, and most annoyingly get a photo copy of my driver's license and mail it in, just to get my account back. :|

 

[Smooth Criminal]

...you don't have to photocopy your driver's license. Snap a picture from your phone and send it in electronically; it'll suffice.

Trust me, I had to do this with my account before I started playing again.

Yeah, and those are released within months of the release.

Anything specific? Or is Panda-men more crazy than cow men? (And fish men, and bear men, and cat-centaurs and dragon men and raccoon men and...)

The automated thing I linked didn't work?

 

[fkacyan]

Pandaren were a joke race for the longest time. The other content, account wide achievements, and the AMAZING zone design more than make up for it in my case.

I did the one you linked, but I'm pretty sure all it does is reset your battle.net account password and stuff. My WoW account specifically is still banned, lol :/

achievements

So... a digital photo works? Guess I'll have to use a camera since my phone doesn't have one


All I really wanted to do was look at my payment history. I assume I can't do that since my WoW account is locked. To look at your payments, you first need to go to your WoW account on your b.net account right?

 

[Omnicron's Baklava Enterprises]

The biggest problem I have is

>we kill Old Gods
>we kill demons and their lords
>we kill the undead and their lord
>we kill a dragon that's caused massive butthurt throughout the entire Warcraft storyline

>we explore China

Do you not see the inconsistencies? sdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdf
