New Expansion?! (Douche sucks)
« on: October 21, 2011, 09:14:24 pm »
According to MMO-Champ ( and Blizzard ofc ) there'll be a new expansion called Mists of Pandaria!! No main vilain just a war between the Horde and the Alliance.

Just going to c/p the rest from the MMO-Champ!

Features

    The pandas were actually going to be the alliance race in The Burning Crusade but Blizzard changed their mind.
    The pandas will be playable by both Alliance and Horde.
    Level cap raised to 90
    New class: Monk
    New race: Pandarens
    Pve Scenarios
    Pet Battle System (Pokemonnn!)
    New Talents
    New continent
    Challenge Mode Dungeons

- Pandaren Racials

    Bouncy: reduces fall damage by half.
    Inner peace: double rested XP.
    Gourmand: +15 to cooking.
    Epicurean: double stats to food buffs.

What is Mists of Pandaria?

    The goal is to combine new gameplay with most fun parts of the past.
    The plan is to get people back into the world, instead of having players roam around Stormwind and Orgrimmar all the time once they reach max level.
    Developers want you to do what you want to do to progress your character. They really want you to feel like you have a menu of content where you can pick whatever you want to do, and you shouldn't feel forced to do something to progress your character. For example, daily quests will reward you with valor points but it will still be faster if you raid of course.
    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.

Pandaria

    5 New leveling zones to explore
    Single, unified continent
    Influenced by Asian landscapes
    AH, Bank, and Central Questing Hub
    No flying until max level
    There's 5 leveling zones but they are very large zones, and you won't have your flying mount.

Lore of Pandaria

    A long, storied history.
    Magically hidden since The Sundering
    A new land to explore....
    Pandaria was discovered during the cataclysm, a naval battle between horde and alliance was taking place close to it.

Pandaren starting zone

    It's a turtle! It left Pandaria 10 000 years ago and never came back. Pandarens who wanted to discover the world left on that turtle.
    Story focused with simple mechanics
    Cross faction, choose Horde/Alliance at level 10.

Creatures of Pandaria

    The Jinyu are fish-like creatures and will be in a wide number of zones.
    The Hozu are a monkey-like race, they stand up on their legs and can walk around. They play tons of pranks on the local pandarens and are also in a lot of zones.
    Verming are ... new kobolds, they kinda look like evil bunnies.

           -- UPTADE --

New Features

    The pandarens are the new race.
    The female model isn't done yet.
    At level 10, you will get to choose between horde and alliance.
    Pandaren Classes: Hunter, Mage, Monk, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warrior
    Racial - Epicurean - Increase the stat benefits from food by 100%
    Racial - Gourmand - Cooking skill increased by 15.
    Racial - Inner Peace - Your rested experience bonus lasts twice as long.
    Racial - Bouncy - You take 50% less falling damage.
    Racial - Quaking Palm - You touch a secret pressure point on an enemy target, putting it to sleep for 3 sec.


Monk New Class

    Brewmaster - Tank spec
    Mistweaver - Healer, a healer who can stand up in melee and will let players experience a "new healing style"
    Windwalker - Melee DPS
    This is not a hero class, and it will start at level 1
    The class is very martial-arts based
    Lots of monk-only animations, the healer and tanks will have different stances they can stand in, etc ...
    Monk Races - All of them except Goblin and Worgens

Cataclysm Talents

    Pro - The level 10 specs were really nice and gave you a role early in the game, definitely a keeper.
    Pro - Removing junk from the talent trees was also a very good move.
    Pro - Having some kind of choices for optional skills/subspecs worked out pretty well.
    Con - You had a risk of "skipping" important talents
    Con - There wasn't enough junk removed
    Con - There wasn't enough choices, you might have a different final talent point than another combat rogue but it just wasn't enough. The cookie cutter build still persists.
    Con - No enough customization, no true hybridization (Using a little bit of 2 different trees)
    Con - Players got grumpy


Talent System 2.0. The talent system is gone! Ok, not really, but it's greatly changed.
You now have your class abilities, your spec abilities, and your talents.
You still choose your spec at level 10, and you get a spec ability at level 10.
You will get additional spec abilities later. There are anything that you really need to function, they will just be given to you to make sure you have all the tools you need to have.

Example - Prot Paladin

    LVL 10 - Avenger's Shield
    LVL 20 - Hammer of the Righteous (Prot and Ret)
    LVL 30 - Judgement of the Just (Passive)

Talents

    There is not talent points or ranks.
    There is one talent pree per class.
    You earn talents every 15 levels.
    You get to choose 1 out of 3 every time you get a new point, you can only pick one of them and can't go back to get the other ones.
    There will be no mandatory talent.
    You can now change talents as easily as you change glyphs.

Looks really good IMO.

I like the idea of a break from the whole Main villan side and focus on fighting each other.

Sounds very cool. Will be odd to have friendly and enemy pandas, though. Wonder if they'll be coloured differently. Blue and red? :P

Is there an ETA for this yet?
Now I run a tech website.

There's so much in our lives.That stacks up in our heads
Things that make us sad.Things that people say
And as the time goes by.And all that we have left
Are moments we regret.Moments we forget
