Started this a couple of days ago.

Obviously wanted to try out monk as it was an entirely new class.

I rather enjoy the dps aspect of it.
I have not tried out healing (there's currently a bug where you are impervious to heals, seems like a moot point to try after that) and haven't as of yet given tanking a go.

The talent trees are completely different.
If you watched Blizzcon you got a taste of what to expect.
From what I've seen this far, you select a spec and there are 4 moves you can choose from with that spec.
As to how far in between you can add other talents, I am not aware.
I did however pick fists of fury, and it's pretty damn op.


The starting area for the pandas is amazingly beautiful.
The quests aren't near as many as with the Goblins but they also aren't as fun/funny.
It's a much more nature themed experience which ties into the race rather well imo.

There is a huge glitch when you get to a quest in which you need to light a torch.
Get as close to the brazier as you can and switch your graphics from ultra to low and click.
It will allow a split second of clarity while it reloads the character textures.

I thought the clothing they gave them was really interesting looking, I hope there are more of those models in the later levels.
It seems that they are one handed dual-wielders and they utilize energy like rogues and kitties.

I'm not sure what mount they will give them for ground travel, I personally am hoping for Yakks because they're too cute.
I have however seen the flying mount, and it is amazing.

I played a little at blizzcon, but I'm sure it's changed since then. They were pretty fun to DPS with, though it felt a little faceroll-ish.

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Every class is faceroll-ish in some way. >.>

All I know is they are goddamned adorable.

I have one with bun buns and whiskers. :3

I mean it felt like pre-nerf DKs, roll finger on keyboard - receive kills.

They are adorable. ROLLY POLLY PANDAS.

I might pick WoW up again when it comes out.

This is true.

Oh man.. remember when you'd respawn as a ghoul when you died?

~.~ Glorious.

You should. XD

I can't wait for it.

Finally bothered to buy me a new motherboard and such. downloading the beta atm. Just looked at the talent calculator and WTF. why are there no talent trees anymore! wtf is going on!!!!

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

How do the pandas look while walking? I'm intrigued by the fact Blizzard is going through with this. Can't wait to play when it hits open.

Nevermind, I googled it and saw that the mechanics seem to flow just fine. All it does is make me wish I could play one now though xD

They are absurdly adorable.

And the areas are beautiful.

I tried to find my ss to post, but I have no idea where they are.. :(

Mmmk.

I founded mah ss.

I have to go through them to figure out which I want to posts for aesthetics, because I have many..

But for now I'm posting what I thought to be the mounts in game, and what people are showing them to be online.

Personally, I kinda like both.
I enjoy turtle mounts in the game, I have the little one on my goblin.
I just thought the Yakks would be interesting to have.

I hope if nothing else, they turn them into rep mounts for the little guys you do all the quests for nearby.

Mhmm.

I like the new snapping turtles they made for beta a lot.


Also, for everyone wondering about the fliers..

This seems to be them:

It seems like you buy an egg for them, and then start taking care of them as they grow.

This is the only other step I'd seen of the maturity to adult, not sure if they will add more in between.

I think it's a pretty neat idea.
I always enjoy the mini pet things they do in game, growing my own mount seems like fun to me.
Especially when it's a smoke breathing dragon. >.>

Just found out for the battle pets they are bringing back warbot fuel.

As someone who has stowed away a stack of either color since I drank all that damn Mt. Dew, I am a pig in shit right now.
