No one will make me believe that panadas are more childish than star wars.

Get a grip. Its a video game.

I disagree. Someone who is twelve right now could not possibly have seen the original trilogy or the new trilogy in the theater. They may have been raised with Star Wars as a household name but by and large they certainly haven't grown up with it the way that people in their 20's-40's have. Do you know what these 12 year olds have grown up with and saw in movie theaters? Fat pandas bouncing people around with their stomachs.

I have a grip. I know it's a video game. The objection I have is that Pandaren run counter to the World of Warcraft schema that I have had in my head for 7 years. They cross the line from quirky/funny/interesting/social commentary and sit square in the silly court. Anyways...

I think Monks look cool. Focusing on the Horde/Alliance tension is good. The talent trees look *amazing* for multiboxing. Story wise though, I find a mystical island a hard fit following Illidan, Arthas and then Deathwing. /shrug

On Topic:
The proposed talent changes are almost enough to make me want to keep playing. They look seriously amazing for us boxers. I'm sure lots of them are gonna' go through a lot of iterations before the expansion goes live but so far they look really good.

I guess if they can just fix the train wreck that is rated BG's they might be able to turn things around a bit.

I'm just not seeing how Pandas are that far off the mark for the game.

Amen Sista!

While I don't particularly care for the panda thing, I *am* interested in seeing how the talent and stat redesigns work out. I'm skeptical that they can pull it off with the B team without screwing things up royally but it might just end up being fun to play again.

I'm looking forward to trying out the updated systems as well. We all know that the current system provides little variance if you want to actually be competitive, copy that talent tree from EJ or AJ and go. Having actual choices that you can tailor your game play style will be nice.

Stats are stats. What can you say or do, just have to try them out and see.

I am waiting for the Gnome to announce the plane when we fly into Panda Island. Maybe Blizzard can use this for inspiration.

Isn't he already in the game? Could have sworn...

I can't find talk about the new talent calculator!

Many people, just as many opinions.

Are Panda's the best thing to come to WOW? Who knows... from what I've seen the graphics look awesome, it almost felt like a new game watching the gameplay. The model of the Panda has a lot more polygon structures than any other race and it's definately more colourful and lighter then what we've had so far. This means they move very fluently and in general look cool while doing so. They also said they would buff the other races in the same manner.

So whatever you feel regarding the lore and story... the game is still being updated to appeal to those who don't like Panda's.

So yea, I'll wait it out... see how it goes.

A group of Monks will be on the list for sure.

I wish they would update the older races models. They look like minecraft characters compared to the newer races models.
