WoW 5.0 - Mists of Pandaria

You know it doesn't work on monks right?

Not looking to play the FOTM. Thinking more along the lines of Warrior or Paladin.

They're still available, they give you 7 days, a free upgrade to Cataclysm, and the optional promotion of one character to 80. You must not have played since I think March of this year.

Drop me a PM with your email address, and I'll be happy to hook you up - BUT - Thanks to absurddoctor I already have the sweet mount, so maybe hit up someone else who doesn't have the mount yet.

Can I just say how much I hate Dread Wastes? Because I really hate Dread Wastes.
Maybe this will change as I get better gear, but for now it seems like almost every mob there just takes ages to kill and the drop rate for quest items is surprisingly low.

It almost seems like Dread Wastes is tuned more for level 90 questing, at least everything you might kill for a daily quest. The mist monsters in the northwest and the lizard dudes in the south seemed more like normal to me.

I like the look of the Dread Wastes, and the Mantids are just creepy. Creepier than any other bug people in WoW.

Blizzard: Don't bury WoW just yet

Turns out Blizzard has moved 2.7M copies of Mists, and the player base is at 10M.

I don't think WoW is back at BC/Wrath levels of sales or subs -- it won't ever get there, imo -- but it's a boatload better than the 700K in retail sales reported after the first couple of days.

Blizzard still could use another big hit. WoW won't pay the bills forever.

The new talent system, is there a good run-down/guide to what changed in the last 12 months and how the new one works somewhere?

Go here. They'll have you covered.

I was gonna say, I was interested to see how many digital sales they moved this time around because they were really hammering the digital upgrade with this expansion. I'm not surprised to see the digital sales actually did make up the difference that the doomsayer in the other article found.

So far I'm really happy with MoP, exploring Pandaria is just really fun, the zones are interesting and atmospheric, and usually the quests are too. I think Blizz is definitely better when they focus on a cohesive theme for an xpac, Cata was so all over the place, this feels like more of a return to form for what an xpac should be. Good stuff.

Interesting hack if it is confirmed:

or a lead up to the halloween event

I'll need an invite to the Guild if possible.

Post your toon name and I will friend you for the invite.

My Panda is Spyki

Could you add SpyNavy = Spyki and
Ulairi = HaoJun

Thanks Reap

I did a Scroll of Rez earlier in the year.. but could I do another one again? I don't think it was after March 2012 or whatever the cutoff is?

PM me the email addy you use.

I'd love a guild invite as well! My kung-fu panda is named "Faxian."

Spy, you have to declare for the Alliance before I can invite you, which I think occurs around level 12.

Ahh ok - didnt know that.

Yea, it's like that.

I think I will now have to mount up every time I'm at any NPC.

I find this useful in such situations.

So Mists has been live for exactly 16 days and already patch 5.1 is on the PTR. Here are the notes.

So far the only changes are the Ally-Horde campaign, Pet Battle tweeks and this:

5.1 PTR notes wrote:

A search bar has been added to the mount section of the Mount and Pet Journal.

I hope they don't rush anything out....I like it when they move slow on patches since I only get to play every other month XD

Speaking of which...I'll finally be back stateside on Saturday the 20th and can finally start to lvl my DK...or Spriest....or Hunter.....or......

Youko has been rubbing it in that she's having a blast playing MoP while I'm stuck in Africa Someone hop on Horde, kick her butt, and camp her for a while

I'd wager that 5.1 will take ~6 weeks to get fully fleshed out on the PTRs.

Good information on dailies. Bottom line: you only need to do one faction's dailies at a time, because you earn rep faster than you earn Valor.

Do you have to wait until you're 90 to start grinding the dailies?
