So, Next Expansion Enthusiasm?
So upon hearing the new race/class at blizzcon through the livestream, I ran up to my boyfriend's room screaming PANDAS!!!! He asked me what was wrong, so I slapped him and screamed MOOOONKS!!!! and ran back out.
Over enthusiastic? Maybe. But I'm gonna love my Blood Elf Monk <3 xD Axes Fists staves of my. How was your guy's reaction(s)? ;D |
New expansion? Do tell. Also, breathe.
|
I forget how to sometimes!
Think most of the information can be found on fan sites by now, Link Quote:

Their Diablo 3 deal is interesting. Not a bad way of keeping those who would have left for Diablo 3.

Hubby and I signed up for the annual pass already, too. :) |
Can't wait.
BRB, freezing myself until Beta arrives. Thaw me out then, pl0x! |
Pretty much lol!

You should see the new talent trees ;D

I fell asleep when they were showing the talents. :(

This is a small sum of it. Reminds me a bit of DiabloIII, where you can just switch in and out abilities when ever. Sounds like a great idea in theory, hope it works in practice. Cookie cutters are still going to be there, no matter how much they want to get rid of them.

HO! LY! CR! AP!
I gave up all hope of Azshara Crater ever seeing the light of day when Cataclysm was announced. HELL YEAH! HELL YEAH! HELL YEAH! BOI! /nerdgasm |
Nerdgasm indeed. Also, I was a huge pokemon fan in the past xD Yay for ingame battle pets!

I love the new changes!
Going from everything is a hunter weapon to nothing is a hunter weapon. Rogue/Warrior will throw their melee weapons instead of bother with ranged weapons. Wands now MH weapons for casters. Warlocks - GONE! (I laughed my arse off when he joked about that) I actualy still play Pokemon, and I'm 24. I have every Pokemon ROM from GB/GBC/GBA on my PSP, even. NOOOOOOOOOOO THEY'RE REMOVING TOTEMS!!!!!!! Aaaaand Druids now have 4 talent trees... BRB, going to delete my Shamans. :'( |
Was just about to quote that lol! The no monimum range is... a little scary. It scares me quite a bit. Throwing my daggers >> makes me think of Kusarigama weapons tbh (google it). New MH weapon for casters will be wands? Interesting.
I will probably be rerolling if I don't like the rogue class still in 5.0. This expansion was boring for me. I guess Polearms will be for druids and monks(?) mainly. Totems didn't need to get removed... just reworked. That might be a bad choice, seeing as how totems are what symbolize that class, especially since they gave each race new totem skins. Druids... 4 Talents? I didn't see this D: What could the forth be? Will Feral have Feral Cat and Feral Bear spec? If it's like that they could of made it so that there was a cat effect and bear effect for each talent like it has been. Quote:

Loving every bit of it apart from the pet battles. I hope that Scenarios will get a higher priority than pets.
|
Pretty much, but the fact that they said that pets will be obtainable through different weather/seasons/time of day makes me wonder if they are going to improve the weather system for WoW.

Think most of my interface pictures are of rogues ;D I got 2 85 rogues a 81 and a 47 rogue. They are my favorite class by far.Though I might try monk just so i have the option of tanking. ESPECIALLY since achievements seem to be cross characters now. Leveling up with DD and Light of Dawn? Win.

I collect them as I go, xD few here and there. Just waiting on the new talent tree for rogues to be released.
Can't wait. But overall my right side of my brain is screaming GO MONK LILY and my left is going might as well, you get all your hard earned achievements anyways! Though, starting at level one is the only thing making me think twice. If it was 55 like a hero class, definitely I would do it. Either way I'll have all my BoA's ready. Blood Elf Monk ;D how amazing is that? Quote:

Totems aren't gone but the buff totems are. They wanted you to feel like you don't *have* to put down mana tide, etc. totems or be a totem buff whore for your raid. They added a couple new totems and some really cool totem mechanics at the lvl 90 talents to choose from.
|
Gees. With the amount of UI changes, it might be time for me to stop UI work.
|
I don't mind them encapsulating features from the "competition" since I absolutely like what they're doing.
Talking about things like: - PvE scenarios + no role trinity required = directly out of GW2 announced features. - No auto-attacks for new class = also lifted off GW2 announced features. I just hope these do make it to live and don't end up as a marketing ploy only to be scrapped on the road to production (like path of the titans for example) with whatever weak excuse. My paranoia aside I'm pretty excited about what I see :p |
I've never been directly against any XP-pack and I am not against MoP either, but I must admit that the "wow this is cool" factor is very low for me, I guess just monks and pandas don't appeal to me -not to mention I kind of miss being given a whole new continent of many zones to explore, I like that, I am born explorer. :P
I guess one cool thing is the DOTA BG, now I won't get my hopes up because I know they show a lot to hype the game but at release some announcements always are removed. Dancing and vashjir raid comes to mind... anyway, I am not too excited, I don't feel this to be as fun as the other once. :( |
The Dungeon Challenges look like it would add a lot more competitiveness and teamwork to it :)
(and also make addons that track that kind of stuff obsolete)  熊猫人给力！！Pandaren FTW~~ |
Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

The new talent system is somewhat limited I think and there's hints developers know it.
(I'll try to justify that statement a bit further down) What we have here is actually a meta-talent system. I explain myself. The exercise for players will not be "which spec is better for the job", leading usually to a cookie-cutter spec with essential talents for prot, prot-pvp, dps, raid-heal etc and a few "floater" points. Instead for min-maxers (and you can bet this will trickle down to the masses) you'll have 5-4 variations to a theme and swap talents per boss (or maybe even per pull). At least that's what the "changing talents on the fly will be as fast and easy as changing glyphs is now" tells me. I'm not entirely sure how this will pan out in terms of fluidity and immersion. I fear it may turn out with unanticipated effects in actual (ab)use. |
Actually, there still is Tank Healing and DPS still, the no role thing was just for the scenarios. And to be honest, I believe most of these new updates were Influenced by Guild Wars and Diablo3 (not lifted off). The only class with no auto attack is the monk. Their entire Talent system is directly influenced by their Diablo3 Set up.
Path of the Titans got removed because it couldn't work. At all sadly. Quote:
They needed to give the "War between the Factions" attention. We've been at this war for ever with no real given thought for it. Hopefully PvP will be given a huge look at, and make PvP a huge part of the expansion. Quote:

Hmm, read the small print for the Annual Pass, must be a resident of USA, New Zealand etc .. No mention of UK. Free Diablo game will be as per your country settings. Erm what if I want to play the US version like I do WoW. Oh well, guess I just wait for it to come out like normal.
But definitely sounds good. Have 7 85s at the moment so will give me the opportunity to have fun with those again getting them to 90. |
Their continuation of McQueues for all the content is a bit of a downer, and their new design of easy+quick heroics. I may have to find an MMO more catered towards my now somewhat outdated tastes >.<

I feel I've put too much negativity into this thread. Time to balance it out. Cookies!! |
We're lazy, most of us. That means the majority will end up with "only" 6 talent points spent and never change it again.
Now my warrior tank has all the selfhealing points and even glyphed it. With 5.0 I have to chose one of the three ... For a new char you have to "wait" weeks before you can spend a new point. I fear that this will lead to less new chars and (even more) empty starting zones after the initial hype. I kind of like the idea but I dont like what it means for wow ... we're moving again farther away from a roleplay game. I personally LOVE spending my points and it gives me a feeling of choice and that I formed this char. They add a new tank/healer so I really am looking forward to it ... but not that exited :) |
LOL! Sure why not xD
For you Australians, can't really help you, but I wouldn't mind quick difficult dungeons. But that's what the challenging mode is for right? Is it going to be Normal > Heroic > Challenging? I'm not to sure. I hope this might be the set up. Quote:

New race and class sound kinda meh, but I am excited about the hunter changes. Maybe I'll give this expansion a try.
Anyone know if you can register for beta if your account is frozen? |
Half of that stuff sounds like an April Fools joke, and the other half sounds like they're changing or removing anything remotely hard, complicated, inconvenient, time-consuming, or otherwise not conducive to mindless instant gratification. I've already quit raiding, and only log on for a few hours once a week. From the look of things, I don't see myself buying the next expansion, or probably playing at all once it comes out. If I wanted to play something with pandas and duelling mini-pets, I'd just play Pokemon, or download some virtual pet app on my phone, or play some zoo game on Facebook. :(

No idea, the No range weapons for melee/casters and no melee weapon for hunters sounds interesting I suppose. I know I am doingthe Annual idea so I can get a free Beta invite and free DiabloIII game. Regardless I am still going to buy the CE box for DIII, it's to sexy not to buy it. Just like the Baldurs Gate II CE nom nom.

I think it looks pretty interesting. It'll be nice to have something playful and silly to do in WoW in between raiding or grinding up a character for the Classy X achievements.

I'm loving the new achievement system. Gives me a reason to change mains PLUS I'll be close to the account 'have every class' what ev's achievement. All I need is to finish leveling my warlock and druid, and then roll monk and I am done :) Might as well get that out of the way. And yes, more things to do between raids will be amazing.

Have you seen that box? I haven't wanted a CE edition of anything since Witcher II's, which I still have in my bookcase in it's little glass case. Kicking my boyfriend out of the bed and keeping the box on his pillow for a few days. ;D Quote:
 -----------------------------  |
They COULD change the player-models... i.e fix the feet/hands, and not to mention the HUGE BAMF weapons female humans seems to possess.
How about the dance styles? More hairstyles like the ones in he CE Artbooks. I mean, those Draenei ones made me just drool. And the list just goes on. |
The reason I play a Human now is because of that. It's the best part ;D New Hair styles would be nice, REAL nice, but I want them to fix hands/feet and the shoulder skeletons right now. Look at orc or human males when they move their shoulders, same with Blood Elf females. Looks pretty horrible.

I was so pumped watching the live stream!
I am really excited about the Monk class, Pandarens as well! Though I will need to see the female model first :P The new talent system looks epic as well :3 I signed up for my annual pass as soon as it was available! The beta got me hooked. I've always wanted to be in one but never have any luck DX SOPUMPED. |
Im watching the raid live stream right meow lol so hilarious. Blood Legion defeated Vodka in a race to kill H Rag. They were screaming so hard xD

Was pretty embarrassing to hear them sling epithets over Vent, but it was interesting to watch it once muted.

Pretty much, reminds me of my old guild back in TBC.

On the whole iam not impressed. Again only 5 lvls. New race but no new slots. So alot of peaple will have to change realms to try one. Iam not happy with what we got. It all end game and very little for the regular players. New talents,again. =(
|
They stated that they didn't want to reach level 100 so fast with expansions when Cata came out.
If you watch the live stream or the Q&A posted on MMO champ they stated that they might take off the character limit per realm and just make it that you can only have 50 characters max overall, so you might get to make more than 10. The talents were changed again because they didn't want cookie cutter builds, but builds you can change on the fly and use for multiple scenarios and won't determine your mass overall DPS. Pretty much why the major talent trees don't have a lot of huge PvE abilities and are Utility abilities, you get the main DPS abilities as you level. Not trying to be rude, but wanted to make sure you had all the information about what you said and clear things up <3 Quote:
Sylvanas Windrunner, Sylvanas Windrunner, A Tree! Sylvanas Windrunner, Scooter the Snail! Sylvanas Windrunner! I wish I could of gotten a ticket to blizzcon and wore my Vanessa VanCleef outfit QQ Totally was going to get my hair done exactly like her's too. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - More than 10 characters per realm?! YES MY BOW! NOOOOOOOOOO! /cry; I just realized this OMG the time spent farming it /cry/cry/wrist/cry Also, Called the Ammo Pouch and Quiver. I was like +10 points. Quote:

ya any realm let see them do that. Again you move away from freinds. Screw the dam 12 year olds. What i read about classes iam looking at other games. Taken melee away from some..so Bliz what do i do whin it smacking me and i cant cast. OH ya die. Again stupid. Whin they going to go ever quest and make the whole dam game group or go home? I for one want to see the Big Zones NOW! not whin i can solo the dam places. There taken all the fun out the game for some new player. We going to get bunch new faction you cant get exalted with? Like i said first on the whole this looks like crap.

Your post doesn't make a lot of sense sorry.
How would you move away from friends? My quote basically says instead of 10 characters per realm with a max of 50 on all servers, they are making it so that you can have all 50 characters on one realm instead. How are they taking away melee? You mean from Hunters who's only melee ability is Raptor Strike? They are getting rid of the Minimum range from Hunter's so that they can use range abilities when a person is right in their face. Good trade since melee was useless for them anyway. They are also giving quiver and bullet bag/sacks for Hunters. Which has been wanted ever since Hunters came out with release. Your post has a lot of things that: a) don't make sense b) hasn't even been spoken of. Please quote or give a source on some things you are complaining about or try to be a little clear on it :< Quote:

I definitely do like the change to hunters. Wands as main weapons should be interesting as well.
|
WOW we get our bags BACK..woot. again well be missing a bog for other stuff. The way it read is (to me) there takeing melee away from any class they dont use melee. That mean you stand and die. Hard to understand. Go back to school. I see NOTHING about more on a realm. If you need to change realms to play a new toon you leave your freinds. How can you not understand. Learn to read.
|
The only class that had abilities unusable in melee were hunters. And the minimum range has been taken away from them, meaning they'll be able to defend themselves.
Re:more characters on one realm: "A) Not sure just yet, might keep the current character cap but let you have them on any realm, so you can have many many charaters on one realm" -- you can have all 50 characters on one realm, if you desire. There you go. I fail to see what's hard to understand about that or why it's necessary to be so completely rude about it. This latest expansion announcement seems to have brought the mean out in a lot of people. |
I love the change, it's been needed for a while. They just need to balance the damage of hunters so it doesn't seem like a huge problem for everyone else. Wands as a MH.. not sohappy about. I liked the current weapons of staff, dagger, sword. I saw if Spell Casters get wand as a MH combat rogues should get Fast OH weapons again that are not daggers
:< Quote:
I posted a DIRECT quote they said about their stance on how many characters they want per server/realm, do I need to link the direct link for the quote? If so I have no problem doing so. Link. It's like 6th Question down. We are the WoWI community, we are not mean to each other. I don't need you insulting me while I am clearly having trouble understanding your hard to read/comprehend English, and being told I am wrong on a subject that I already proved wrong to you. I have no problem with people who do not like the new expansion, this is a discussion thread after all and ALL OF THIS is based on OPINIONS. But not when that opinion is based off completely wrong facts and I am just trying to show you that the facts you believe to be true are not. I'm not talking about the subject anymore, either get rid of the attitude and come back or just leave because this thread will close for off topic discussion and/or for trolling otherwise. <3 Quote:
