HOLY BALLS LOOK AT THIS THING GREATEST MOUNT EVER

Want O.O

by **Thelos** Thu Mar 22, 2012 7:07 am

Coverage of gaming and gaming news has evolved to the point where millions of people are now watching a handful people play Mists of Pandaria trough livestreams.

After looking over a limey Brit's shoulder for about five minutes, I decided this is one bridge too far for me, and I'd rather just be a little more patient and play it myself, when the time comes.

Music gave me goosebumps, though. If only the limey tosser would stay quiet, rather then to revel in his twisted sense of self-importance. Bleh.

...If that is the racial mount for Pandaren....*grabs cloth to clean screen and keyboard*

HOLY BALLS LOOK AT THIS THING. WTF IS THAT FLYING STEAM TRAIN OF FAIL?

by **Zouyo** Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:48 am

The smoke coming from it is in the art style, its not supposed to look like real smoke genius. And what's wrong with it? In what way does it "fail" ?

by **Mikasa** Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:07 am

That's just my own opinion, really. I'm not liking the whole 'Flying Chinese Dragon Noodle' and now this 'Chinese Dragon Thing' for Pandas. I'm not one good at explaining but it just rubs me the wrong way.
Sorry if I by chance offended someone somehow somewhere.

Good that some people look forward to it. I just don't like dat dwagun.

by **Zouyo** Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:15 am

No offense taken, I just like it when someone can actually give me a reason beyond saying "Its fail herp a derp".

Obviously the reason is there's no dopamine being released in their nucleus accumbens.

I know it's properly too early to see anything like this but, if anyone spots the monk animations for the other races. Please spam post them here, repeatedly, in the face.

That's not a reason you uncouth reductionist swine!

Keep an eye on this youtube channel, guys. At the time of writing it is constantly being updated. They've just now uploaded the character creation screen for Pandaren!

by **erwtenpeller** Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:34 am

It's not the racial mount. It's the mount you can earn through quest chains for a certain faction that tames those motherfuckers.

Yes. That means that if you want one... You'll get to tame one yourself. Whoop Whoop!

by **Dréfurion** Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:37 am

Reductionism ftw!!

No not really, my point is just that alot of these reactions and feelings of "it's such a fail" are not based in any sort of reason, they are just an emotional response.

If they don't like the dragon, they don't. Hater's gonna hate, and all that.

Venomhide raptor is still more badass, atleast that one can proc a poison application.

by **Zouyo** Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:38 am

Well, when I get out of Uni today, I'm going to see if I've got the Beta thing on Battlenet. Can't get onto it here due to the network firewalls or something.

Planning on doing stuff on my own channel for MoP Beta Smile

by **Amaryl** Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:43 am

And the stream of excitement has commenced fully.

Everyone shouting that is going to be awesome, its going to chance the game for the better. only to find out two weeks in its just the same game. and people will cry death again.

Hype get over it.

Just find out when you find out, and live your life until it arrives. No point in pining, it will only make the disappointment bigger

This pessimism makes me sad.

What is it with people and threads like this?

Stop telling people what to do, it's non of your business.

YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!!

...Anyway. I'm excited as shit, get over it.

HEY

I may as well drop this notion here, for now...
I'm going to want to explore pandaria in character, preferably in a group. This means containing your initial glee and taking your time to really explore and "feel" the continent as we explore it. I don't know if this is common practice, as i started roleplaying with cata... But it just seems like an opportunity too good to pass up on.

Fixed

But can't wait myself to get on the Beta Smile

One would have had to have purchased the annual thingy pass in order to get into le beta, amarite.

Well, that's the point of hype isn't it?

Inflating expectations.

Get dragged along with it, how could you not be anything but disappointed?

People can do whatever they like, just like I can post my opinion, on this topic that's both Laughable and sigh worthy in the same place. Since I really doubt the reaction a month after release, will be anything but the same like they were with cata, and wotlk.

It'll make me all giddy inside, see the hopes crash Very Happy

, so in that way I should be encouraging the hype... Since that would give me more entertainment later.

by **erwtenpeller** Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:02 am

I suffer from blizzard fandom to such a degree that they can not do me wrong. Sucks to be you.

...Well okay starcraft 2 was a bit of a bummer, but that's mostly because I realised I dont like to play RTS games.

by **Dréfurion** Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:04 am

Even if MoP is a letdown

atleast we're having our pre-MoP glee now!

by **erwtenpeller** Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:07 am

I'm loving this guy. Dre, I'm loving you. I'm loving Dre.
