Legendary: Disco Lion

i have a feeling when people start playing MOP they will be extremely disappointed.  The new area is about the size of Durotar your talents have been downsized so instead of spending talents every level like i used to love you only get a talent every 15 lvls.  Your talents are chosen for you because one talent is pvp another talent is pve.  Your spells are completely different.  You cant access any part of your spell book except for you specific classes spells.  I used to love enhancement shaman and all the totems are gone.  The only totems you have have a CD so now you have to make sure you are always putting them back out.  You cant put all totems down at once so now you will lose dps cuz you have to pick each one and use when needed.  No more windfury totem now you cast a spell that last 10 sec that increases your haste rating by 30% and has a 2 min cd.  The game is ruined for me i thought blizzards Titan was going to be for Casual players but wow has become the game that is the most casual and easiest.  The only good thing about MOP is the graphics are better.  I have two gts 450 crossfired and i was getting 40fps in MOP i got almost 100 fps in Cata.  That will piss people with weak systems off if you cant play swtor then dont expect to be able to play MOP.

Do you think the reason why Blizzard won’t support the tool for spectator in Arenas is that they cannot control the possibility of it being used to “spy” on the opposition while the game is in motion? For example: The extra person(s) could warn their team mates when someone is healing.

Love playing my resto druid in the MoP beta.  Never had so many options on how to configure my character.  With LK and Cata never had much flexibility on how to configure my resto druid, maybe a single talent point and no real choices on glyphs. 

With the MoP beta, I get so many choices.   It really depends on the boss encounter, BG or Arena.  I will be tweaking the hell out of my Primary Talents.  Eye of the Storm, I need Typhoon, OMG a resto druid with Typhoon.   For Warsong Gulch,  Mass Entanglement, rooting up to five enemy players while healing the FC, priceless.

Pandaria is huge and gorgeous.  Everytime I log in, I see something new.  Just truly amazing to walk, ride and fly through.  The mountains are spectacular and the Sha-touch areas are earie.  I almost expect a little turbulence while flying through the storms, so much wind, so much rain, love the low hanging clouds.  With the old game engine, its going to take a lot of processing power to do this game justice.  If anyone had problems with Cata performance, MoP is going to drive their PC into the ground.  

The dungeons look great, the encounters and fun to play and regular mode difficulty is fine.  Looking forward to heroic difficultly dungeons.  BTW, several of the dungeons have outdoor areas, so the CE mount can still be used there.

The raids look interesting, hope they get the difficulty right before release.   

While not a big fan of the pandas, the questing is good.  It’s still WoW questing, so not expecting a lot of changes there.  Do like the quest mini-boss don’t require a group, you can solo them or if more than one player is around you don’t have to be in a group to get credit for the kill.

I do find the story in the first few zones to be soft. Hopefully the re-design of the first zone fixes some of that problem.   Maybe World PVP will bring the necessary tension to the questing hubs.

So looking forward to World PVP in MoP, I resto druid has so many more tools for PVP.  Should be a blast to play.

I think Blizzard has too much bad press and PR for record MoP sales.  Seems like alot of hard feelings out their for a game. Think the open MoP beta was mistake, to many players are just touching the starting area and making sweeping comments about the entire expansion.  Hope the starting area re-design fixes that.  Will be interesting to see if MoP can build buzz over time and see growth over its release. See if it can bring back players to WoW.

Cosmetic minor Glyph must be rewards for really hard heroics encounters , so the pro players have a really cool ability

blizz is going downhill :/ this is sad… imo it will be even worse because blizz have so loving community (fanboys) that will buy/pay for everything.

Not allowing people to transmogrify new weapons to look like their legendaries is basically like giving legendaries a “-1 inventory slot” debuff. It just forces players to carry their legendary with them, and to press a button to equip it in cities.

I wonder if Blizzard’s real reason is not “because legendaries are rare”, but because they know legendaries _aren’t_ really all that rare, and the reason why they’re rarely seen is that people are lazy and don’t feel like carrying theirs around and equipping them.

hotpei, you are just so silly. 

The mount is a Foo Dog/Lion Dog aka the statues you see outside Chinese buildings, it’s supposed to be one come to life. Qilin is the Chinese term, Kirin is the Japanese term (think bad to RPGs Schaff), but both are names for the chimera described which is most often referred to as an analog to the Western unicorn. Also, it won’t need wings to fly if it does, think of Eastern dragons.

I think the mount looks fine, but that pet is fugly. You buy the CE for the whole package, not just the pet.

Looking at the raids so far, to me, they look fine. I may have seen some mechanics before, but as long as they are in different combinations, it can still be a fun encounter.

D3 is a fine game. Sure it’s had bumps but so did it’s predecessor, it’s just been so long that no one remembers them as being a big deal. The new players who just went “Oh, free game!” and expected it to be something it wasn’t are just delusional and need to be educated.

do it for the box B do it for the BOX

sorry for the newb question, what’s the song at the very start of the podcast itself? :>
