loads of stuff (as usual) coming
I've been an avid WoW player since release. Enjoyed the original WoW despite not progressing as much as I would have liked, absolutely LOVED TBC, didn't like WotLK that much and have hardly enjoyed anything about Cata so far, but this new expansion definitely signals the end of my WoW career I think.
Pandas? - What the hell? Neutral to both races, how will that work in PvP?? What an annoying race choice...
Pet Battle System - trying to appeal to more kids who watch that damn pokeman thing?
Resi as a base stat - possibly a reasonable change to make it easier for undergeared players in BG's but just doesn't feel right
Hunters minimum ranged distance removed and ranged slot gone for all other classes - no idea what purpose this serves
Warlocks have a diff resource for each spec - pointless
Druids will have 4 trees - don't mess with my Druid!!!
Messed up talent trees - no idea why they are doing this, you get like 6 choices now
Dungeon challenge modes - for even more e-peen waving
Heroics easier for PuGs - come on, they are already a doddle!
No normal dungeons at 90, just heroics - so they aren't heroic anymore...
SM HEROIC - OMG YES, ONE VERY, VERY, VERY GOOD THING!! (sadly I won't be around to play it :()
Scenarios - CBA to find a group, this is your answer
Seriously, some pointless and messed up stuff they are doing to WoW. I guarantee in a year or so WoW the average skill level of WoW players will have reduced dramatically as there appears to be hardly any difficulty left in the game (except finding RL time to compete with kids who have nothing in their lives if you are so inclined).
Yup, I've not played in months (real life getting in the way), and the last time I did, I got very, very bored..
I think I'll just suspend the account and leave it there - I might get a figprint for nostalgia, but that's about it for me for WoW now.
Well I'm a sad panda....
I stopped playing a while ago but have been secretly hoping they would add the ability to solo dungeons or duo with a mate. Obviously the loot would be heavily toned down but would allow those of us who work crazy hours and only have the odd hour to play, the ability to have some dungeon fun.....
i have stopped playing a while ago but keep up to date through my friends YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/mikepreachwow) - i think this is a bit of a 'cop out' expansion.
No penultimate villain to kill, and its based on the new race. I think Blizz knew the masses would be divided with this expansion and that's why they are offering DIII for free if you sign up for a years worth of WoW
who knows, maybe when more details are released it will hopefully smooth over a lot of the negatives.
I have been playing WoW on and off since realise and i have just got back to it on Saturday. After i have paid and played I have seen new upcoming expansion notes... Only one thought came to me mind... Kung Fu Panda!! :)
I agree that it’s become more and more obvious hat new expansions are done for commercial reasons than anything else...
How do you sign up to get D3 free?
I stopped playing after WOTLK (Which I loved) mainly due to reaching a plateau where I had got the best gear I possibly could with the time I had available and anything after that meant that I needed to invest a rediculous amount of time. I will be going back eventually, but, whether I will stay or not is another thing (However free D3 + a year, depending on price, could be worth it!)
You have to pay for a year's subscription to WoW and have owned WoW before 18th Oct 2011.Quote:

Haha i was going to say there is plenty of elk!
Going after the Asian and younger children markets IMO.
I stopped the day after Cata released.....couldn't stay alive for more then 0.0000000001 seconds after each rez thanks to ridiculous server population imbalances that Blizzard felt I had to not only pay to fix but also leave my friends to do so.
That stopped my need to logon immediately and I have never once looked back.....and had been playing since US launch.
It was pretty obvious that they would have to re-target the game at some point.......just a shame they went in this direction.....
They lack the elegant features of the graceful Moose!:pQuote:

We previously introduced the ability to form cross-realm parties with Real ID friends, and now with Patch 4.3.2, we're adding the ability for players to use that same functionality to form raids to run older normal or heroic raids, or participate in Battlegrounds!
This will allow you to join up with your Real ID friends from other realms and:
Form a cross-realm raid and use Raid Finder
Jump in to any classic dungeon or raid and be automatically placed in the same instance
Join forces and dominate the Battlegrounds
Please note, you will not yet be able to run normal or Heroic Dragon Soul with cross-realm Real ID raids.
As we look forward to the BattleTag system, it’s a very exciting time for World of Warcraft. No matter what realm you and your friends are on you’ll be able to team up and take on group content throughout the game.
pet fighting is rip off from pokemon...
