Mists of Pandaria Unveiled for World of Warcraft

Posted on Friday, October 21 @ 13:41:20 Eastern by


Continuing coverage of Blizzcon, Blizzard Entertainment has unveiled the fourth expansion for World of Warcraft called Mists of Pandaria, which features the Monk class and the Pandaren race who all must have been inspired by Jack Black.

Players will explore "the long-lost continent that has been newly rediscovered following the events of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm", all while attempting to reach the new level cap of 90 (which will likely happen in something like a week within its release). Mike Morhaim, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment, explains that the Panderan race originally in Warcraft III was included because of the fans:

Players have been asking to see the pandaren in World of Warcraft since the game's launch, and we're excited to finally be able to give them a proper re-introduction to Azeroth. In addition to the new playable race and class, Mists of Pandaria contains a huge amount of new content, and we're looking forward to sharing more information about all of it at BlizzCon and beyond.

Along with new PvE scenarios, there will be dungeon "challenge" modes with five-player time trials that will earn prestige rewards for completing them. Players can battle each other using companion pets in a tactical mini-game and the talent system has been overhauled.

    I'm fairly positive about this new expansion. Pandas have in fact been part of the lore since WarCraft 3 so I don't see what the fuss people are making is all about. Monks sound really fun and honestly, the whole faction selection during the intro questline has the potential to be very cool if done right.

    I'm just not game on the one year pass deal. I'm too sporadic nowadays. Not if it were back in 2007 or 2008, it'd be a whole different story...

    Of course it is, and I'm sure those 7 million plus subscribers agree with you completely.

    Is it really that high? I've been playing it safe and quoting 7 mil mainly because at least that way no one could say I was over-exagerating.

    Yup, trust me. I still play WoW (and now for another year at least thanks to the 12 month lock-in deal), and everyone made a big stink about how the game lost a million subscribers in Cata compared to the 12 mil they had during Wrath.

    I remember the story in Warcraft III. I actually really enjoyed it. I remember playing WoW and thinking "This is an excellent game, but I hope they don't screw up the lore so Warcraft IV will be good!"

    Then they had a band of random adventurers kill Illidan and Arthas and pulled **** like this.

    At least there's still Starcraft...

    Deathknights multiplied and scattered the landscape in too large a number, like cockroaches... they ended the idea of hero classes before it even could begin. Im just curious how Pandarens for ALliance will differ visually than those for Horde.

    The whole "hero class" idea was stupid in the first place. Technically you would have to acknowledge paladins as the first hero class and they've been in the game since vanilla.

    Many WoW subscribers will probably rejoice at the news of this new playable race. Finally a race they can relate to. Hairy palms, dark circles around their eyes, chronic masterb....er.

    Just like how they can relate to the Worgen, because they too had to undergo a lot of strange changes such as their voice altering, growing bodies, and growing hair in places it didn't before.
