Btw, if a pandarian rogue strolls into booty bay could you get pirates vs ninjas?

You know, even though Blizz introduced this concept before the movies, it's Kung Fu Panda being ripped off is what people will think. Blizzard is short on ideas and this makes them ( incorrectly ) look worse. Perception is everything.

I would have gone in a different direction....dragons or something that seems to have a long history in the story as it exists today.

I'm okay with that perception.

The perception I have right now though is that they are doing one race, one class, and 5-levels instead of two new races, a hero class, and 10-levels. In Cataclysm, they only did 5 more levels because they were planning on changing the entire leveling experience from 1-60 again.

What are they doing this time? Streamlining talents even further? Making a new Panda starter area?

I'm willing to wait and see, but I can't say I'm very excited this time around...

One major, major point I read in the proposed changes that no one here on the boards has jumped on yet is their plan to flatten out the stat curve on all characters and mobs. So basically they are going to try and rebalance every.single.thing. in the game.

I temporarily forgot how gay combat looks in WoW compared to GW2. I need to get into the "retro" mood more.

I've been wanting to play a monk since 1999 when I first picked unarmed in Ashron's Call. All have been a disapointment. I'm really looking foward to this. I'm not so sure about the Panda but I'll learn to live with it.

IMHO, Pandaren and the whole Far Eastern look of Pandaria will be a refreshing change from classic races and additions like worgens and death knights. The preview videos look great! I am looking forward to the expansion.

thinking

I mean, it's already butchered. Unless they go back and redo everything stat-wise from start to finish in the game, it's pointless. It was manageable in TBC/Wrath, but Cata blew it out of the water.

You shoot up like 120k HP in Cata, does flattening the curve mean you'll just go back to 20k HP jumps?

the one thing about the monk class i'm uneasy about is it has no auto attack. everything is going to be button mashing.

Some people will probably do something more than just button mash..maybe there will be some cool combat moves that require setup moves and additionally have other follow up moves.

For all of the grief we hear about dumbing dwn the game..this should stir the pot from the other direction.

as long as it doesn't require furious button mashing to get adequate dps i'm for it. i've just got enough issues with nerves and joints around my hands and wrists that i hate anything that makes you button mash like crazy. basically the special moves should make up for the autoattack dps in damage so really your not hitting buttons any more frequently than the current global cooldown already allows. as long as it still works on the global cooldown i think it'll be okay.

I wonder if it will be the 1 sec or the 1.5 sec global cooldown. I can't imagine it being worse than the Rogue in regards to twitch play, but we shall see.

from the very short bit where i could see the action buttons it did look like the moves had the normal global cooldowns. so it won't be worse then most melee classes as far as button mashing from the look of it.
