Blizzard Hints at Pandaren Expansion
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
Blizzard's Pandarans came first, back in Warcraft 3, so if anyone is being a copy cat, it's...PunkRex said:I just got back into WoW, im a big fan of the art/story, but arnt Panda folk in Wakfu. I have not played it but I like its art, not that im saying theres no room for two panda races out there but then how can they copyright it?
... who made Wakfu again?
They had to pull some serious butt strings to make the Goblins on Horde make sense also.Aeshi said:
And Blood Elves...
Dranei were a bit of a stretch.
Worgen might be the only one I get and even that one is hard.
Trust me, they'll slap Ethereals on Horde and Pandaren on Alliance and the story will be whacky as all hell. Because they refuse to do anything interesting when it comes to factions. Binary racism is so old and tiresome :/.
"We hate them!" "Why?" "BECAUSE!" "Ah. Sounds good."
Generally a faction is judged by the actions of its leadership. Even in the real world people tend to hate the US because of actions amongst a small group of people.SirBryghtside said:Pandarens were awesome in WarCraft 3! *rants about how they made it an MMO*
So EVERYONE in their respective races is neutral? EVERYONE?Aeshi said:
Is there some vital bit of logic I'm missing here?
In Warcraft there is no discernable reason the Pandaren race or its leaders would join either faction.
Similarly there is no event past or present that would inspire the Ethereals to join forces.
The only Ethereals that have been met in game were either aggressive to both factions or neutral to both factions. Which in either case makes them neutrally observant seeing as their actions do not differentiate.
Pandarens mostly just seem to get drunk when they visit.
Desperate to add content they made from 2002?MajorDolphin said:
Also I agree no Murlocs has always been a great disappointment for me. They even have a group of friendly ones in Northrend that we could branch off from.
If the Pandaren were ever to be made playable, they would have to be a cross-faction race. The world could simply not handle the amount of tears and righteous indignation if one faction was denied Pandas, and would tear asunder. The howls of the forsaken would bellow out across the globe, rending the fabric of our existence at the seams. Rivers of lava would boil up from the center of the earth, the seas would run red with blood, and the damned would rise from their eternal sleep to reap horrible vengeance on the living, should either the Horde or the Alliance be forced to choose.
so Blizzard, it looks as though your subscriptions are down about 100,000. that's ok though, right? You still have 11+ million subscribers.
Blizzard: NO! RELEASE THE PANDAS!!
Blizzard: NO! RELEASE THE PANDAS!!
have you ever heard the phrase, "give the people what they want"? I'ts Blizzard- they'll make it work
Ethereals and Pandarens becoming playable might be interesting. However, another expansion being planned when this current one isn't even a year old yet? Cata was designed to bring new players into the game by revamping the old content, and to get to 85 (unless they grind Azeroth or BG's like crazy) they still need to play through the BC and WoTLK content. Geeze Blizzard, give us a chance to get caught up before you set the bar higher again, for God's sake!
I don't play WoW, but can someone tell me if the Pandaren are Horde? 'Cause if they are, then I'm in.
I can kinda picture the builds based off the Ultimate in Warcraft 3.
Earth for Tank, Storm for DPS, and Fire for PvP.
>_> Don't Ask. I really don't want to bring up the facts that make me think what the Draenei really are.

Draenei never struck me as Russian. But...no I'm not going to say it. There is just a bunch of circumstances that point to that >_< No! It can't be Blizzard's nudge nudge wink wink.Gerhardt said:

I've always, always wanted to play a Pandaren in WoW. This should happened years ago. Too bad it wasn't in the days when gave a shit about WoW and could afford the original game plus 4 expansion packs.
