Pandaren (And other stuff about the upcoming expansion)

Kael-Fu is just using ninja demons.
I also almost named it Karl Fu.

Kael-Fu, 99 ways to turn a defeat into just a setback.

I'm expecting that there will be some reason (magic, duh) to prevent communication between different faction pandas. I've got fond memories of using mindcontrol and emotes to chat in crossfaction meetings between elves and taurens.

Anyway, after sleeping for the night...pandas still don't excite me. They look too much like... furred tuskarrs in screenshots! Though I kinda like those fellows, but as their walrus-selves. I guess they could eventually turn-out being actually fun to play. Sadly that has been the case for me so far with just goblins of four xpack races. But that's me and my odd taste!

Also, below is the list of all the surprised people, if female pandas turn out looking all slender an' curvy:




Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm really hoping for proper plump female pandas.

I'm going to laugh if it's another female worgen fiasco.

How long will it take for a fanart of a female worgen and a female panda making out?

Derp, haven't taken a look at all the talents.

I'm so glad I've stopped playing this game, you cannot possibly take this seriously right now.

It's a game. You shouldn't take it too seriously anyway.
Why are pandas so bad when cows and wolves (just to name few) aren't? No pandas in traditional western fantasy?

People seem to forget there's more than just the Pandaren in the expansion.

I personally don't mind them being a playable race, nor that we visit their island.

Infact, I loved their landscapes etc, beautiful. And I aint nay saying the pandaren.

However. I'm not quite fussed over them, and might actually not play one, atleast not past their starting zone (for sake of lore).
I feel rather neutral towards them. I'm more interested in the monk class to be fair.

I do dig the other races that they showed. I expect some good old god stuff behind the Mantids.

You just rule 34'ed it.

If it exists, there is pron of it. No exceptions.

And those pet pokemon fights....come ooooon!

This is going to be last expansion before game dies, i'm telling you.

Yes! I'm damn excited...in fact so much I had a dream about Pandarens tonight! Looking forward for the whole expansion!

Hm, I may start a pandaren and roleplay him as a guy who sells cheap copied weapons (mass produced by cheap panda workforce in Pandaria) in Orgrimar to gullible orcs:]

Anyway, since I play recently rather cruel and bitter character, having a pandaren would be like having a character 100% impossible to act in any shade of evil:-)

I was excited until the class/talent changes.

Yeah, exactly

Just allow Blizzard the chance to explain themselves before you discard it.

I've found some of their community managers actually make a frightful lot of sense.

I applaud this in particular. I for one will experience it as a fresh, casual breeze to not have a big baddy a lá Deathwing-Lich King-Illidan looming over everything everywhere. Just a magical journey trough unknown, mystical lands. That is the sort of game I enjoy, anyway. And the more varied said mystical lands are, the better.

This was the part I was excited about.

The talents are pretty fine for me as well....like there is much variety in talent choices anyway....or has ever been.

Zarhym is making an aweful lot of sense in that thread. I suggest you all read it.

Why, Thelos, must I always agree with you? Silly philosopher.

Because I'm using an image of Plato as my avatar. You cannot disagree with Plato.

So it is Plato... interesting.

Anyhow, should I still be playing WoW at the time of release... I'll most likely be founding a 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca' (bear with me should there be a typo) RP-guild for the Alliance.
Any interested?

Pandas for life.
