Mists of Pandaria Cinematic Trailer

[Multibocks]

Ya I felt let down too. I really wanted it to be hard core horde vs alliance hate.

I liked it. This isn't the epic war that's coming, it's more like the calm before the storm.
The comedy portion to me shows clearly that the monk isn't fighting in anger; he's happy just chilling, and playing with the strangers who just washed up on shore.

I totally agree. I liked it myself, watched it a couple more times and was impressed at the quality, the detail from cinematic to in-game was spot on. Sure there wasn't that big ending bad mofo, but there isn't supposed to be. This is the start not the end!

wait till you hear the shopping music added to the city's! this patch. I mean city music. and the Inn music well.

"happy land"

Thought it was pretty good cgi, maybe they are letting us in on their plans to allow players to box horde and alliance together...was the first thing I thought of when the human handed the orc a weapon.

My favorite is still the dwarf hunter and his bear in the first cinematic.

I can agree with this with Wrath coming in a very close second.

I would like to point out that McKayla was not impressed with the MoP cinematic either - http://i.imgur.com/D5zTv.jpg

Light'n up Chum! Have you played the beta? There is enough conflict to please any war hardened souls out there. Judge the Trailer for whats it is, and that is a damn great piece of art! And its staying true to two major additions of this expansion, the Monk and The Pandarian. And it wasn't funny funny, ha ha either.. it was a touch of humor and a smart introduction trailer to the "lighter" side of this expansion. There is a lot of war and conflict going on though, trust me!

I see you're point, and I'd argue that this should have been a patch trailer instead of an expansion trailer.

My favourite moment in any of the wow cinematics is the night elf druid running through the forest, jumping over the cliff then turning into a panther... made me roll a druid.

Very, very well-done CGI as is usually the case.

This, plus what MiRai said. IMO, we've gone from the hardscrabble, hating, oops-I-stepped-on-an-elite-DAMNIT-rez, war-to-the-knife, dark, brooding, kill-your-guards-to-spite-you place to this fuzzy, kids-movie theme park. Sure, I'm applying a bit of artistic license in describing it (and yes, not everyone saw wow 1.0 that way) but you get the idea.

I was not impressed and felt that it in no way portrayed what they said it was about at blizzcon. It was a quality trailer, but if it wans't for Vecter holding a gun to my head I probably wouldn't play this xpac. Not because of the quality of the game or content, I just feel no draw or need to play, other than to pwn fat chicks with my friends.

Should have had the fat panda Chen slowly scream out 'Pain.. Agony... You are not prepared!' and then summon an ice dragon from under the ground -- top it off with a scary FIREY dragon landing on them all and roaring.

*Should probably add a bit of seriousness to it heh*
I liked the cinematic, showcased what the expansion was about (I thought so anyway). I can sort of see why some people might have been let down, but apart from showing a little more fighting between the always-peaceful Alliance and the pigHorde.. What else could be done?
The theme is exploration/old hatred between factions isn't it?
