Yeah, dont know how I feel about this yet...

*sigh* at Chris Metzen saying he was going to make the pandas the race in Burning Crusade. :/

90 levels of clap? I think I'll pass on this expansion. I have plenty of other problems without adding that to the mix!

She was good, but not THAT good.

Same.

I mean, pandas? Really?

I wish there was more leveling. 80 to 85 went by in hours for a lot of folks.

This is intriguing (From mmo-champ): Update 11:40AM PST - The new expansion will not have a main vilain, it will focus on the Horde vs Alliance war!

The reveal that pandas are neutral and you get to choose which side you want to ally yourself with after finishing your opening quests is kinda neat though.

They also leaked info on WoW 6.0 as well.

The sheer volume of fanboy rage generated by this announcement is hilarious. Humanoid cows, bears, walruses, wolves, birds, wolverines, frogs, buffalo, and snakes? Totally fine. Pandas? OMG WOW IS FOR BABIES NOW WTF I QUIT RAAAAAAARRRGH.

I wonder if there's a way to level to 90 (with your panda or other toons) without having to go through the same zones we've done many many times already.

I think they roped me back in for the expansion.

Also wonder how extensive a revamp the New talent system is, this might be the real deal breaker. All I know is that after 6 years of raiding, I'm done with any form of raiding for at least a few years. Gearing up for raiding, farming for raids, reading up strategies for raids ... it is a part time job rather than a fun evening.

5.0? Already? I assume this is coming out 2013, I hope?

So you can play Pokemon with your vanity pets now?

The dungeon challenge-mode sounds interesting.

Anyone see a release date yet?

And anyone have any good Panda names yet? Pandamonium and Pandemonium are already gone.

Pandamania, though, is available.

Don't forget you can also find Pokemon vanity pets in the wild now too!

Challenge mode does sound cool. I like the normalized gear feature so it's all about teamwork and class composition.

Pandaren Racial- Bouncy: reduces fall damage by half.
WTB Panda for Rag 2.0 plz.

Q2 2012 was on a leaked doc ... I'll see if I can dig up that link.

That's way too fast. Only ~1.5 years, when all the other expansions were a little closer to 2 years?

Have you been playing recently? WoW really needs an xpac, soon.

I have been playing, but I'm not sure about an xpac. Certainly a content patch.

Also, don't forget that if you choose to stick around for the next expansion you basically get Diablo 3 for free.

Take that, Old Republic!

Grats to blizzard for getting the Kung Fu Panda license.

The main thing I wonder about is another talent system. As much as I admire them for trying, it seems like they'll never have something that works for all the people all the time, but they're not content with most of the people most of the time. Is there that much to be gained by overhauls, rather than tweaking.

Personally, I'd like to get out of Cata ASAP. I couldn't care less about DW. They just didn't make this xpac as 'compelling' as Wrath, for me. The actual raid encounters are pretty neat and original-ish, but the rest of the content is boring as hell.
