I saw it and was like what the flaming **** are you playing at Blizz...then I read more f the new features, looked at the new talent specs and realised that this expansion is looking to make the game a lot more fun, something that has been missing for a while.

The things people are complaining about (Panda's, battle pets) are things that are optional really. I hated the pandas to begin with but the more I see, the more im warming too them.

Pandaring to the crowd? They may be endanger of losing quite a few people when TOR comes out if this is their big update.

Actually OT, I saw people saying in the comments on the yootoobs saying the pandas are actually quite a standard part of Warcraft lore? From like, Warcraft 3 I think it was said? So this shouldn't actually cause that much of an outrage, right? I mean it's not like people have been playing the game as bipedal cows or anything.

Aye the Pandaren were in Warcraft 3, on the Horde side I believe. Makes me laugh really from the people that are in complete uproar about them especially when you consider that we have:

Cow People
Fish People
Trolls
Dwarfs
Gnomes
Space Goats
Goblins
MANNNNNNNY other different talking things and Pandas are a little too far? lol

I wasnt a huge fan to begin with, believed their general look was a little too 'Disney Pixar' to fit in, but Im getting more fond of them.

Question (I've played WoW for about a week overall and skipped all dialogue and cut-scenes, and I've never played older Warcraft games so I literally no nowt): Is Horde actually evil? As in like, clear definition evil like Rebels/Empire? Or are they just two different good sides fighting for different goals?

Just seems a bit odd to have giant cows and pandas on the evil side, hell, from the few quest texts I've read the Orcs and trolls don't even seem like a bad bunch of fellows.

Nope, Neither one is evil. Fan boys of either side will read way more into the lore than they should and try to convince you otherwise but each side is just as dark as each other in their own ways, both have done really bad things to the opposite side same as both sides have done really great things

Dead Alive · 23-10-2011, 02:09 PM

Aye that's what I thought, just wasn't sure and given their factions name I'd just assume if either, 'Horde' was the evil side.

Angelfromabove · 23-10-2011, 02:10 PM

Yep, the over all aethetics and looks of the races made me assume they were the evil side too when I first started playing!

Maggy · 23-10-2011, 02:15 PM

Horde are evil.

LONG LIVE THE ALLIANCE!

Angelfromabove · 23-10-2011, 03:25 PM

BAHHHH Alliance Pussy!

For The HORDE!

FoxyStoat · 24-10-2011, 11:32 AM

I are excited

Also, anyone signed up for the 12 month Diablo 3? It's a win-win situation AND mount ingame!

People have probably already got that name on a level 1 just to save it now.
