World of Warcraft Discussion: Mists of Pandaria

[Crooked Crow]

How is everyone liking the patch differences?

PvP feels a bit wonky, as it's scaled for level 90. But no complaints otherwise.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Healers are wayyyyyyyyyy too powerful in PvP.

Beyond that, this patch rocks.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Crooked Crow]

Yep, healers are finally not too squishy anymore... I doubt they aren't going to patch things up, though.

I think everyone <mages got more> got a 40% damage output nerf... seeing as it's tuned for 90. I don't think it's too bad, but that's because I am a healer.

The totem system is weird. Elemental is actually good now.

 

[Mic_128]

I wish I could use treants and incarnation form

 

[Azua]

i like what they did to destro lock. everything is too easy now though.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I may buy some time to check this out

I just know when I come back though my items will be gone and some hacker used my account as a farming thing

Theramores fall is pretty neat

T
Hyped for future lore based scenarios

When one happens, it'll be the first.


Starting. We're on a boat, being told the siege failed and to get in there and mess some stuff up. Wait, What siege? Why did it fail? What's going on? A cutscene intro would have been nice to start it off, set the scene, make us feel excited and invested.

The actual objectives I didn't mind, other than the severe under-tuning.

Ending. Rather anti-climatic. Goblins rock up, drop the bomb, back in org. No sight of Jaina? Was she even there? No sight of the destroyed Theramore? Why not port us onto the deck of the Zeplin so we can see it and then take a port from the Zep to Org?

Rewards. Mini-manabomb is cool, though part of the transmog lover in me wishes we had a cool tabard or something too, but that's just a minor complaint. The other, tangible rewards however...

Concidering it's end of expansion, the stats on the gear are worthless. But model-wise, some cool stuff, right? Nope. I like having a few things normally unavailable to classes (Mail helms as leather (although there's already pleanty of leather beast masks :/ ), cloth/leather circlets as plate) but other than the white wizard hat and mage staff, everything else can already be obtained ingame, without anything particularly special about them. The most plain swords and axes, a gun from quests... The pre-wrath invasion had recoloured judgement gear for all classes, gear that you can look at and go "oh wow, I know where you've been!"

Overall, really disappointed.

 

[Player-3]

Well i knew the story before hand and was largely dissapointed but i thought it was like neat, just wish the bomb aftermath had looked like it should have lol (im ally)

 

[Crooked Crow]

Overall, really disappointed.

Me too, the scenario was dreadfully boring gameplay wise. And even in terms of lore, it was as you said, underwhelming and not the pinnacle clash of Alliance vs Horde I expected it to be.

Also, check your mail, you get a tabard for completing the scenario. It's a nice tabard. Also, Jaina is not neutral anymore I don't think, she's definitely pro-Alliance. Speaking of drops, ilvl 384 gear is useless, that's like dungeon junk. LFR drops ilvl 390 gear, I think.

 

[Player-3]

you only get the tabard if you are alliance, horde gets mini-mana bomb

 

[Crooked Crow]

you only get the tabard if you are alliance, horde gets mini-mana bomb

Right, I haven't done it on my Horde yet, oops.

 

[Azua]

you only get the tabard if you are alliance, horde gets mini-mana bomb

wonder how long that will last

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Limited time onry; right up until September 24th.

[Asdioh]

oh wow, reading about the big mana bomb and what happens to Theramore is kind of depressing.
also

Spoiler

garrosh

is the final boss of this expansion? I think that's old news, but lol. And why do they even have spoilers so far ahead jeez blizzard

 

[Azua]

asidhdiooishdih what is your battletag

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I've been wondering, any a shaman since the last patch?

I heard they were changing them from being buffers and stuff to the totems being more utility or something?

How are shaman now?

Probably because everyone hated him anyway, and numbers are decreasing so they thought if they knew they were getting a chance to kill a character they hated it would keep some people/ bring some people back despite the apparent hate for pandarians

 

[Asdioh]

asidhdiooishdih what is your battletag

I don't play anymore :O that's why I said reading about it

 

[Smooth Criminal]

>_> Garrosh isn't the final boss of the xpac.

He is a boss, however.

Also, Psycho, you're kinda off-base about Blizz killing Garrosh, with 'kinda" being somewhere on a far-flung planet.

Wampuh#1353 add me guize

Also supposedly most of the raid content in the first tier of stuff is troll related which is neat, i just wish there was a raid about tauren

Shaman main here.

They are a really good choice for healing raids now. Totems stack, and lots of AoE's.

I have never played Enhancement. Elemental has lots of burst damage and crits now.

Shamans excel when it comes to immobile close quarter stacked healing. Healing Tide and Healing Stream Totems <and Spirit Link when you're running out of available CD's> mitigate the squishyness that was Shaman pre MoP beta. Chain Heal is renamed Jesus Heal from now on.

They are still squishy though. We still have crap mobility, too.

IT'S PANDA TIME!

I was the first one in line to get Pandas tonight. Oddly, there wasn't very many people at the midnight launch.

There were quite a few people at my midnight release. I was actually kinda surprised.

I was the first one in line to get the xpac, too. I'm really enjoying it so far. Pandaria is gorgeous.

[Azua]

i'm actually really liking the content so far. the new zone is pretty and they arent giving me too much experience.

in cataclysm i only ended up liking hyjal and that was only kind of, so we'll see.


for what its worth my cat likes watching it

 

[finalark]

I've been leveling my main, I haven't finished Jade Forest yet due to occupation with making a Panda and Monk.

Monkamonkamonkamonk.

 

[Asdioh]

*checks junk email folder*
*MoP beta test invitations*

Seriously how late can these guys be? I don't recall EVER getting a fake beta invite when the game was actually in beta v_v
darn.

 

[JTB]

I changed my email a long time ago when I got hacked while playing SC2 (which subsequently gave more wow time because the hacker reactivated my account), but I still got tons of fake invites on my original email and none on my new email.

 

[Mic_128]

I constantly get junk emails about my accounts having suspicious activity and so on. Makes me chuckle.

Just realised that it's almost 1am. Damn pet battles.

CONSTANTLY dude. diablo 3 account notice, etc. etc.

 

[Jem.]

Anyone cool I know playing? Someone might get me MoP and I was thinking about coming back. I'd be rerolling Panda Monk. Pretty experienced in WoW. Raided in Vanilla/BC/WOTLK.

 

[OBT]

Is MoP worth buying? I really didn't like cata at all, but I've been considering reactivating my account for MoP.

Most people seem to agree that Cata was the low point. I'm enjoying leveling my main right now, I haven't hit 90 yet but the zones are mostly awesome. However, it takes a really long time to get to 90 so if you don't like leveling that might be a pain for you.

As for the Monk its so far the only melee class I've ever really enjoyed and the playable Pandas and their starting zone is freaking awesome.

I have 2 85 toons, so leveling is not an issue for me. I guess I'll pick it up along with a 60 day card then.

i personally don't like monks
