So will you be able to talk to the pandas that are on the other faction?like if i make my panda horde and i meet a ally panda will i be able to talk to him?
The "happy-go-lucky" version of Warcraft LOL? WTF? Sounded almost like he was gonna say "kinder, gentler" instead, and then caught himself. Is there ANY possibility that this is still a joke?
Pull out the pandas is an idiom, first employed to describe a moment in the evolution of a massively multiplayer online game when it begins a decline in quality that is beyond recovery.
i have been playing since burning crusade and i don't care if they were a part of wc3 or anything else the pandas are lame and childish...wtf is metzen on some kinda hippy zen buhddism kick...this xpack is gonna be like asians taking over wow everything will be poorly made in pandera
Everyone who's saying: "They're putting pandas into WoW, Kung Fu panda rip-off!". Learn your facts. Pandaren was in Warcraft III, even before the Kung Fu panda movie came out, and "panda's in warcraft" has existed for a looooooong time.
@JockenN who cares its still stupid as fuck...i have been playing since Bc and i dont give a damn if it was in wc3 its still really lame and childish!!!
pfft when i go to my friends house to play WoW i dont f want to see or hear f pandas "shove the panda up yo ass and brew" as Hitler puts it epicly In his reaction to MOP.
@cfwbdude Dude you've posted so much shit on this video lol no one cares about the fact you're an idiot who QQs over a new race lol un-subscribe and do us all a favor dumb ass.
@RainbowChewz you can see Chris with fists clentched and passionate about the creation, I question him on what the hell was and is he smoking to allow the pandas to be in WoW.
Probably wants to reach out to a wider audiance to kiddies and girls lol.
@cfwbdude certainly no stranger than native american bull-men, tentacle-y goat-gypsies from space, or just about everything else in WoW, all of which is really retarded when you think about it too much
I love that you put "too much" at the end there :)
So you CAN put SOME thought into it, and it'll make SOME sense, but put TOO MUCH thought into it will have you'll go "Okay, this is just freakin' ridiculous!" LOL
@TheVanillazilla If you actually bothered to do a bit of reading, you'd know that the main story doesn't even involve the pandaren. The war between the Alliance and Horde is the main conflict. We go to Pandaria for resources and the natives just get sucked into it.
A "neutral" race eventually has to choose a side anyway. So , whats the point? Oh wait, with one race that can choose they only have to come up with one starting area and character design.
The whole china theme.... omg what did blizzard just singed a deal with china? Probably going to transfer some of the jobs there just like any other industry. Goodbye to the dark western civilization days of knights, dragons, kings, etc
This expansion has made a lot of people look for other games. I dont think they realize how much of an economic disaster it is going to be for them.
For all of you who say i'm qqing about this, have fun playing your pokemon style pet battles. lmao
@milas1976 Um, i'm sorry, but what is wrong with the Asian culture that this mimics? Don't be so butthurt. but hey, i wouldn't want someone like you getting so easily angry playing a game that I like anyway. So, i guess this expansion will weed out the ass holes?
@milas1976 No, it's not that you don't have the same taste as me. It was quite offensive to just attack China like that. I'm not even Chinese and that offended me. Also, you think that other's care about your opinion on the game, when the truth is, that everyone could give less of a shit than they do now.
well i didnt attack china, i simply stated the fact that i liked better the medieval theme. If you get offended by that then it is your problem. And if you could care less about my opinion then why bother replying to me here? lol
@milas1976 You did attack China lol. That is medieval for China. And what no one cares about is that you don't like the expansion. That wasn't my reason for talking to you.
Huh? Please re-read. And fyi there is nothing wrong with liking european medieval times better than china's. That is not an attack idiot. And I really could care less if you dont care that i dont like the expansion. Obviously I'm not voicing my opinion for morons like you.
@milas1976 I'm not going to assume you understand what I meant, anymore. Have a good day, sir. Also, you might want to resort to adjectives other than the common insulting words. It lowers the liklihood that people will think you are actually intelligent.
@milas1976 you are just thinking at the people leaving, but you are forgetting about the people coming back and new players interested in the game which are way more than the ones that are leaving. As for your pokemon comment, it is one of the most lucrative franchises ever, so they did a great job in that case since it will bring them way more money. If you don't like it just quit playing it, no one is forcing you to play it, live and let live. :)
@TheSwanquill Lol wtf would anyone that left want to come back for pokemon panda island less they are 8 to 12 years old.I still cant belive any of the devs think any of the ideas in this expasion were any good.
@IRONSKILZ For the reason that WoW has the huge potential to become a Role Playing game which with the past few expansions they didn't focus AT ALL on that aspect, they kept pleasing people like you (i am sure you are a PvPer you sound like one) but there a LOT of us who love WoW for its Lore, Role Playing, landscapes, vanity pets, adventure, questing and having fun inside the world. I don't care about dungeons, i don't care about PvP. I am happy to get more story and character development.
@TheSwanquill You dont like dungeons.pvp and id bet raiding either you should fit right in with the kiddies this expansion is going to draw in. Enjoy your role play with an 8 year old but watch out chris hansen might end up on your door step.
Wow... it really amazes me that so many people can complain about the pandas. Personally im more excited about wow than ive been since TBC.
You can say whatever you want about wow now becoming a parody. That's just not the case, Blizzard have always delivered and they will continue to do so. WoW on it's worst day beats any mmo tenfold and that's just a fact.
If you don't like it than that's your loss, i expect too see you soon, If not at launch then a few weeks after. WoW is untouchable atm
@Truedisciple6 Well aware, but Warcraft in World of Warcraft is less and less gruesome and serious, it's WARcraft after all, it's not a joke. The worgens went from savage looking beast as ennemies to cute playable wolves, I used to fight over the books in Karazhan to get the worgen morph, it was badass. The dranei should have used the broken model, the playable worgen, dranei and blood elf don't fit the univers. And now pandas. Metzen isnt convinving me when talking about it, no enthusiasm atall
The key to this video is between 3:59 and 4:30. Its evident that the long-run idea is to have the two factions realize that they need to sign a truce if they plan to survive whatever bad ass menace shows up -Sargeras, maybe?-, and at one point you will be able to raid and team up with players from the other faction in some fashion.
This is fucking fail...that's all Im gonna say....seriously what happened to Warcraft I fell in love with in Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne....
Yes, I know very well that Pandaren Brewmasters were hero unit in Frozen Throne, but that was meant to be inside joke of Blizzard, not something to be taken seriously as part of Warcraft's lore....until some WoWtards actually whined to Blizzard that they want to see Pandarens in WoW....
@Balnazzardi Metzen himself said that they always wanted to involve the Pandarians in WoW. They wanted to make them the playable race for the Alliance in BC. They had it in their heads all the time that they're canon. Just because they didn't put them into the game doesn't change that. Just give them a chance. We haven't had the chance to really see them yet. Maybe they turn out better than you think. Still, it's not like everyone has to like every race... just try to accept them as part of lore
@Shritistrang It's kind of hard to when Blizzard themselves used Pandarians to troll people every April 1st...How I am supposed to take them seriously, when Medzen and rest of Blizzard clearly are not....
And sorry for a bit "flameheated rage" comment, , but that was my first reaction to this (as it is with many others). I know I never should judge book by it's cover, but I really dislike the idea that the whole expansion is built around Pandarians and their chinese culture, something that imo
just doesnt fit into Warcraft, atleast the Warcraft that I felled in love with....I mean when I watch that trailer, not one thing in it reminds me of the WoW that I liked....I know I should give it more time and not be so narrowminded, but I can't help shake the feeling that the whole landscape, art-desing and scenery look exactly like Kung Fu Panda movies, thus the first look into this expansion made it feel more like Kung Fu Panda online than Warcraft.
@Balnazzardi Well, certainly it feels like way. Its just natural that both pandas and martial arts are being associated with Asian culture. Its natural that several people have that idea. And there were a lot of new cultures added with the past few expansions. We had Egypt with Uldum, Scandinavia with the Vrykul, then there are the Taurens that live like Native Americans and the trolls that are like Jamaicans even though they build Inca-like temples. So why not something Asian, too?
@Shritistrang But the BIG difference is those others that you listed didnt have an ENTIRE expanison built around them....If Pandarians were only small part of the expansion, had new low-level starting areas like any other new race to WoW, and the rest of the expansion would have taken place somewhere else, THAT would have been perfectly ok with me...but to base the entire expansion around them is just too much for me and many other people.
@23Sirus23 I know that very well, and that's why my hopes are on Warcraft IV...I really do hope that when Warcraft one day returns back to RTS, it will become more serious again than what WoW is.
@Balnazzardi You know what... I disagree. Diablo and Starcraft are both very dark in tone. Let just Warcraft do it's own thing.
Right now they are running with RTS, Action RPG and a MMO. I like how they are in different genres, instead of just having been in isometric space for so many years.
WoW is hyper fantasy. I agree that in-game with people flying on rockets and space goats and all that wacky shit, that it has gone to far, but.. Warcraft was always goofy. WoW is not to blame for this.
@Kalferzu Well that is your opinion...but the Warcraft as we now see it today really isnt the Warcraft I lioved....for me it wasnt this goofy shit, it was this epic and even bit dark fantasy of Warcraft II and especially Warcraft III, with great and interesting storyline and characters....characters that are now killed one by one as damn raidbosses....
If you ask me WoW can do it's own crazy shit, IF ONLY Warcraft IV will continue where Frozen Throne ended and properly continue the storyline.
@Balnazzardi Fair point, but you're comparing raid bosses to playable characters. I think what makes blizzard blizzard is their sense of humor and light heartedness. I can't tell you how many times I'd click on peons just to hear their jokes in Warcraft 3. Blizzard has always, and will continue to put a little fun and personality into their games. I for one praise it... but to each their own.
@Duckdamage1 Well I have nothing against bit of humor, I've appreciated that too in Blizzard's games, but Mists of Pandaria is really something that doesnt feel anything like Warcraft for me (and apparently neither for many other people)
Anyways, it's true that it's kinda pointless to compare WC RTS games to WoW, but still im bit worried about what Blizz is going to do with the RTS series (if they are going to do anything with it at all)...I really do hope that WC IV would continue from TFT
@Balnazzardi So, you mean that that kind of look of Asian culture only reminds you of Kung Fu panda and not the fact that Pandas are native there and that the culture if beautiful and should be respected?
@cutekillerofwow Nope, but the art-style, Pandarian people and landscapes that I saw in that trailer really did...there was not A SINGLE THING that would have reminded me of Warcraft there.
I dont dislike Asian culture or Pandas themselves, I love those both Kung Fu Panda movies, but I find it bad idea that the WHOLE expansion is built around these Pandarians and their Chinese culture....if they were only small part of the expansion, like any other new race to WoW, that would have been ok
the only reason the horde and the alliance are two different factions are because of GAYROSHH HELLSCREAM AND THE HOMO KING OF STORMWIND!! if it was thrall as the warchief and proudemoore in charge of sw then they would put aside there differences and work together for the sake of the world like this did in the battle for mount hyjal.
@studdmuffen8 Man agreed. If you played Warcraft 3, you would understand why. 'Gayrosh' only cares about the orcs and fuck all the other members of the Horde and 'The Homo King' Varian doesn't do a shit. Thrall is the best Horde leader cause he doesn't only care about killing people and having gay sex with Blood Elfs, and Proudemoore would do something nice, instead of just standing in front of a throne and saying how aweasome he is.
Hmm if pandarens can be both horde and alliance, then im curious but will panderns be able to speak to panderns of the other faction? like a horde one speaking to a alliance one.
To all those saying bye wow, hello swtor, many of my star wars nerd friends have played the beta and said it was a big flop. Not keeping you from leaving or staying, but i for one welcome Mists of Pandaria.
The fact that horde and alliance cannot communicate is just balls out stupid. Name one war in human history where there was no way to communicate with the other side, no translators after thousands of years of battle...really? I realize at game origin it was decided that talking amongst factions would create an unfair advantage with spies n such. But as technology has developed, find a player without a voice communication program (Vent, Skype, etc) so this logic is simply no longer sound.
I hate these two as hosts because both of them are freaking stupid. Neither of them know anything bout the game and they don't seem to pay attention to what is said
@ShichirouSuzume He is the man who has been doing everything in his power since Wrath to give the horde and alliance any flimsy excuse to kill each other he can.
Pandas being cool with each other is no different then all the druid races chilling in Moonglade.
We? Who the fuck do you think "we" is? I hope you're not talking about wow gamers, because not only is that false, you're also CLEARLY not one of us as most real wow gamers, believe it or not, actually know that this "stupid idea" is not a new thing and that pandaren have actually been in the game since WClll, not to mention they've been in the lore for even longer than that. There is no "we" in "noob". Just noob,
so if you were to leave, that's only one less melee hunter to gank.
I love how you people are going off the rails about this just because the Pandaren are 'Pandas'. Would you have done the same if the Tauren had been announced as a major race, because they were 'cows'? Stop hating on this for one obscure thing and wait to see how Blizzard shows Pandaren culture and lore. Only then can you actually judge this race.
@leankilian It might actually be great but.. Looking at the changes Blizzard want to make in the new expansion... It's not going to be World of Warcraft anymore. Despite all the huge changes since vanilla, the game has always been recognisable and simply improved the game to what it was ment to be (Cata). Now they're overhauling the whole fucking thing and re-making EVERYTHING. It might aswell be a new game/franchise really. Should leave wow and make pandas another game.Or give us Emerald dream.
@Nepistol That would open up alot of fun (but also exploitable) pvp-stuff for sure. If this is actually gonna happen though, I do hope they disable it in bg's/arena's.
I love the concept of how the Pandarens are supposed to make us think about why we really fight (for honor, family, love etc. not for small petty things).... but.... WHY PANDAS?!?!??!?!??! =_=
@XerxezsX - it's either a joke, or a really weird ploy by blizzard to get people to stop playing WoW and start playing Diablo III or Titan when it's released, especially considering they are offering annual passes at reduced monthly rates. That gives them a year to make something off WoW before they open a new game.
What I find most strange about the expansion though is not the Pandas. It's the fact that there was no conflict introduced.
YEAH Panda horde style! ... Oh wait, there allso on the alliance... There's a panda GO GET HIM! ... oh wait, that's the panda from our faction. failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail failfailfailfailfailfail

This is fucking fail...that's all Im gonna say....seriously what happened to Warcraft I fell in love with in Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne....
Yes, I know very well that Pandaren Brewmasters were hero unit in Frozen Throne, but that was meant to be inside joke of Blizzard, not something to be taken seriously as part of Warcraft's lore....until some WoWtards actually whined to Blizzard that they want to see Pandarens in WoW....
Balnazzardi 4 months ago
@Balnazzardi Metzen himself said that they always wanted to involve the Pandarians in WoW. They wanted to make them the playable race for the Alliance in BC. They had it in their heads all the time that they're canon. Just because they didn't put them into the game doesn't change that. Just give them a chance. We haven't had the chance to really see them yet. Maybe they turn out better than you think. Still, it's not like everyone has to like every race... just try to accept them as part of lore
Shritistrang 4 months ago
@Shritistrang It's kind of hard to when Blizzard themselves used Pandarians to troll people every April 1st...How I am supposed to take them seriously, when Medzen and rest of Blizzard clearly are not....
And sorry for a bit "flameheated rage" comment, , but that was my first reaction to this (as it is with many others). I know I never should judge book by it's cover, but I really dislike the idea that the whole expansion is built around Pandarians and their chinese culture, something that imo
Balnazzardi 4 months ago
just doesnt fit into Warcraft, atleast the Warcraft that I felled in love with....I mean when I watch that trailer, not one thing in it reminds me of the WoW that I liked....I know I should give it more time and not be so narrowminded, but I can't help shake the feeling that the whole landscape, art-desing and scenery look exactly like Kung Fu Panda movies, thus the first look into this expansion made it feel more like Kung Fu Panda online than Warcraft.
Balnazzardi 4 months ago
@Balnazzardi Well, certainly it feels like way. Its just natural that both pandas and martial arts are being associated with Asian culture. Its natural that several people have that idea. And there were a lot of new cultures added with the past few expansions. We had Egypt with Uldum, Scandinavia with the Vrykul, then there are the Taurens that live like Native Americans and the trolls that are like Jamaicans even though they build Inca-like temples. So why not something Asian, too?
Shritistrang 4 months ago
@Shritistrang But the BIG difference is those others that you listed didnt have an ENTIRE expanison built around them....If Pandarians were only small part of the expansion, had new low-level starting areas like any other new race to WoW, and the rest of the expansion would have taken place somewhere else, THAT would have been perfectly ok with me...but to base the entire expansion around them is just too much for me and many other people.

@23Sirus23 I know that very well, and that's why my hopes are on Warcraft IV...I really do hope that when Warcraft one day returns back to RTS, it will become more serious again than what WoW is.
Balnazzardi 4 months ago
@Balnazzardi You know what... I disagree. Diablo and Starcraft are both very dark in tone. Let just Warcraft do it's own thing.
Right now they are running with RTS, Action RPG and a MMO. I like how they are in different genres, instead of just having been in isometric space for so many years.
WoW is hyper fantasy. I agree that in-game with people flying on rockets and space goats and all that wacky shit, that it has gone to far, but.. Warcraft was always goofy. WoW is not to blame for this.
Kalferzu 4 months ago
@Kalferzu Well that is your opinion...but the Warcraft as we now see it today really isnt the Warcraft I lioved....for me it wasnt this goofy shit, it was this epic and even bit dark fantasy of Warcraft II and especially Warcraft III, with great and interesting storyline and characters....characters that are now killed one by one as damn raidbosses....
If you ask me WoW can do it's own crazy shit, IF ONLY Warcraft IV will continue where Frozen Throne ended and properly continue the storyline.
Balnazzardi 4 months ago
@Balnazzardi Fair point, but you're comparing raid bosses to playable characters. I think what makes blizzard blizzard is their sense of humor and light heartedness. I can't tell you how many times I'd click on peons just to hear their jokes in Warcraft 3. Blizzard has always, and will continue to put a little fun and personality into their games. I for one praise it... but to each their own.
Duckdamage1 4 months ago
@Duckdamage1 Well I have nothing against bit of humor, I've appreciated that too in Blizzard's games, but Mists of Pandaria is really something that doesnt feel anything like Warcraft for me (and apparently neither for many other people)
Anyways, it's true that it's kinda pointless to compare WC RTS games to WoW, but still im bit worried about what Blizz is going to do with the RTS series (if they are going to do anything with it at all)...I really do hope that WC IV would continue from TFT

@cutekillerofwow Nope, but the art-style, Pandarian people and landscapes that I saw in that trailer really did...there was not A SINGLE THING that would have reminded me of Warcraft there.
I dont dislike Asian culture or Pandas themselves, I love those both Kung Fu Panda movies, but I find it bad idea that the WHOLE expansion is built around these Pandarians and their Chinese culture....if they were only small part of the expansion, like any other new race to WoW, that would have been ok

the only reason the horde and the alliance are two different factions are because of GAYROSHH HELLSCREAM AND THE HOMO KING OF STORMWIND!! if it was thrall as the warchief and proudemoore in charge of sw then they would put aside there differences and work together for the sake of the world like this did in the battle for mount hyjal.

TheMrMetallicA123 4 months ago
@studdmuffen8 Man agreed. If you played Warcraft 3, you would understand why. 'Gayrosh' only cares about the orcs and fuck all the other members of the Horde and 'The Homo King' Varian doesn't do a shit. Thrall is the best Horde leader cause he doesn't only care about killing people and having gay sex with Blood Elfs, and Proudemoore would do something nice, instead of just standing in front of a throne and saying how aweasome he is.

The fact that horde and alliance cannot communicate is just balls out stupid. Name one war in human history where there was no way to communicate with the other side, no translators after thousands of years of battle...really? I realize at game origin it was decided that talking amongst factions would create an unfair advantage with spies n such. But as technology has developed, find a player without a voice communication program (Vent, Skype, etc) so this logic is simply no longer sound.

There is no "we" in "noob". Just noob,

I love how you people are going off the rails about this just because the Pandaren are 'Pandas'.

Stop hating on this for one obscure thing and wait to see how Blizzard shows Pandaren culture and lore. Only then can you actually judge this race.

@leankilian It might actually be great but.. Looking at the changes Blizzard want to make in the new expansion... It's not going to be World of Warcraft anymore. Despite all the huge changes since vanilla, the game has always been recognisable and simply improved the game to what it was ment to be (Cata). Now they're overhauling the whole fucking thing and re-making EVERYTHING. It might aswell be a new game/franchise really. Should leave wow and make pandas another game.Or give us Emerald dream.

XerxezsX 4 months ago
@XerxezsX - it's either a joke, or a really weird ploy by blizzard to get people to stop playing WoW and start playing Diablo III or Titan when it's released, especially considering they are offering annual passes at reduced monthly rates. That gives them a year to make something off WoW before they open a new game.
What I find most strange about the expansion though is not the Pandas. It's the fact that there was no conflict introduced.
