Next Expansion " Mists of Pandoria"

Before Blizcon started, I did not think they could announce anything that would get me excited. I was wrong. Almost everything about this new expansion excites me. When i predicted Monk as a class.. that was wishful thinking..well wishes come true 8). The pet mini game sounds fun..the senarios..the new talent system etc.. SWtOR will keep me busy for awhile.. but I am looking forward to MoP 8)

On that note.. i will be starting some new Bnet accounts so i can get 5 betas. I have 3 now. so need 2 more. When you commit to a year, you get Diablo free ( only need one of those ) but you get guarantee beta invite to MoP beta. I have not yet been able to box an expansion beta..this time I will 8)

What is Mists of Pandaria?

• Character builds are going to be entirely revamped. Talents were still too cookie cutter, so the developers want to give players more choices in their talents.

LULZ

"Still" too cookie cutter? Newsflash: YOU MADE THEM MORE COOKIE CUTTER IN CATA YOU MORONS!

I'm laughing so freakin hard right now. :D

[edit2] http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/ has more up-to-date info than I did on the talent/spec/etc. revamp. Should be interesting to see how all that pans out.

The spec info looks really awesome. However, I must say... Pandarens? Freal? *This* is what you're going to put up against The Old Republic? Like, freal? Frealz?

My mind is officially blown. I'm waiting for the entire thing to be a troll. Like, for Mike Metzen to come out on the stage with a Troll mask on lol'ing all over the place.

I also find it hilarious that they're trying to sell subscriptions to WoW as another way to get D3. Way to pad your subscription numbers for your investors, Blizz!

Totally lost all respect I had for Blizz with these announcements. Upside is that TOR will be out in 1.5 months and is amazing. Let's just say, if TOR was around when Jesus was getting in trouble and had him on his side things might've turned out differently.

EDIT: Also, Pokemon? Really? Is there plan to just attract all the 10 year old kids who didn't grow up with Star Wars?

I hear ya, I have the opposite reaction I guess.. I think the changes are awesome.. including the pandorions and the pet mini game. I like the idea of getting Diablo for free and a spot in the next beta for committing to a year sub. .

SWtOR is a great game.. but for me.. until a new MMO comes out thats as fun..easy..smooth...supportive..etc. to box as WoW is, Ill always come back to it. SWtOR might be the first game in a long time that i wont mind not playing a full group..

Well, if they make the game play/progress more or less like it did in WotLK, I might just resub. I have no interest in more Cata dynamics.

Is this available now? The free Diablo 3 thing with one year sub and beta access?

edit: nm I see it splashed all over the website

Aura mastery totem fuck yeah

looks quite good so far with the new talent system, shamans can make a mix of elemental and resto, oh and some old friends are losing quite some cc, mages have to choose between ring of frost, cone of cold and deep freeze (renamed to frostjaw afaik)

Will be interesting on how the the talents work out. I like the massive changes because cata sucks horribly and they need massive changes.

As for swtor, I liked bit and pieces of it. However, instead of fighting dragons youre fighting robots and pvp will be way out of whack going by what I played in the beta. So I will wait until the kinks are worked out first before I give it a try.

bf3 is where I will be playing until then

So looking at the druid changes I'm not too excited for my druid team. Looks like lots of the boomkin bullshit made it into the ferals too. Fuck.

edit: Rogue stuff looks like fun. Too bad they are hard to box.

edit2: Warriors have an AoE silence of 4 secs on 40sec cooldown. Yeah GL shaman in arena. Also: they get to charge a lot. =/

edit3: Warlocks look to be super annoying in PvP. Almost every talent has some way of healing them or making them immune to all damage. WTF.
