The evolution of Blizzard’s blockbuster MMORPG has been a six-year spectacle that has been impossible to ignore. The remarkable strides World of Warcraft has taken over the course of 3 expansion packs have put an ever-growing chasm between it and its closest competition. The latest expansion for WoW is Cataclysm, and as well as adding the expected new high-level content, it reworks large portions of the original Azeroth.
At this year’s BlizzCon Blizzard revealed Mists of Pandaria, the next expansion for World of Warcraft, and one feature will be a new playable race, the Pandaren, inspired, as their name implies, by panda bears. This struck many people, including myself, as an odd choice, and complaints abound on the official forums about the Pandaren being “too childish.” Quite a few actually thought it was a joke. Is it really that far out there for the Warcraft universe, or are some people simply put-off by the cuteness of it?
It’s hard to say whether Blizzard has ever been, or will ever be, happy with the Talent system in World of Warcraft, but it has been relentlessly reworked and reinvented since the game’s launch. While there are many reasons behind these changes, and in many ways they are expected in a MMORPG, not everyone likes the outcome. Hold onto your hats, because the most sweeping changes we’ve seen yet will arrive with Mists of Pandaria, the upcoming expansion, and it has already provoked heated discussion in the WoW community.
The idea behind the Talent system is to give players a way to customize their character’s abilities within their class. Without Talents, the abilities your character has would be practically identical to everyone else in your class at that level. Although there are several other ways to customize your character, the actual skill sets within a class would not vary much, if at all.
“Elamism, Savior of Azeroth” has a nice ring to it. For the first time in my time raiding, I’m officially done with a tier of raiding before the next has been released, and I’m pretty psyched about that. (The fact that I picked up two heroic No’Kaleds for my enhancement spec has me grinning ear to ear.) With Dragon Soul behind me, I can start focusing on the future, which makes it very timely that my invite to the Mists of Pandaria beta came last night.
