Hey look, it's that jackass who fucked off in the middle of a massive project, and he's posting Mists of Pandaria info, despite the fact that he destroyed every computer he had that could run WoW months ago!

Feast your eyes on such revelations:

We're not yet getting a model update or statistical squashing, despite the obvious need for both! Dwarves might get new models in time for Mists!
The pokemon system means companion pets will be account-bound! They're working on account-wide achievements next!
Speaking of achievements, you can earn one for visiting each of the 10,000 waterfalls in Pandaria!
11 characters per server!
AoE looting!
Female pandaren come in Original and Red flavors!
Renewed focus on cross-faction conflict, culminating at the end of the expansion in [spoiler]a siege on Orgrimmar[/spoiler], giving players of both factions a chance to [spoiler]kill Garrosh Hellscream[/spoiler]!

There's so much stuff to look at and discuss! Marvel at the panoply of news while I excuse myself again from the forum!

The stat squashing was a stupid idea and accomplishes nothing but making the current playerbase feel weaker. When you are hemmoraging players, alienating them with too many new concepts at once is not a great way to keep them on. If the numbers all line up with each other proportionally the only problem is the absurdity of growth, and I'm personally not flipping the table over doing 50k dps. The current growth has the added advantage of making raid to raid upgrades almost absolute, so you don't get stuck re-clearing old content week after week to get trinkets and tier pieces because the current tier isn't viable over the old one due to bad itemization. If we did the item crunch we would go back to the old precedent of 4 night a week raiding from BC where you're clearing the tier before the current tier every week to fill out people's sets. I was wearing T4 gear in T6 with no intention of replacing any of it until the mid point of black temple. That's how much of a problem the low ilvl between gear upgrades was. I actually went into Serpentshrine Cavern the first time knowing I had less than 3 upgrades in the entire instance, because all of the shit I was wearing from Karazhan was better. I also remember when we were the 7th most progressed guild on our server and we were spending an hour on Gruul every week despite havnig been done with his tier for nearly a year because we needed like four goddamn dragonspine trophies. That shit was awful.

Dwarves will probably get a model update because I am nearly certain they are sharing meshes with the Pandaren. And I would hope they would update everyone else if they update dwarves. They probably just don't want to commit to something time consuming when they are probably rushing to get this out the door as fast as possible. Activision is clearly losing patience with Blizzard at this point, as evidenced by the mass layoffs.

WORTHLESS

they're hinting pretty heavily at Garrosh drinking the blood of a pit lord again. I'm expecting the last tier of Mists to focus on Fel Orcs, and be a segue into a burning legion themed expansion and the return of Illidan. (but probably not as an antagonist)

Sargeras would be a pretty good way to end the game, and I figure we haven't got a lot more expansions left.

You can expect WoW to have an expansion every two years for the next decade I think. If EQ is still profitable in making expansions, you can expect WoW to keep making them for a long, long time.

Shinra · « **Reply #70 on:** March 21, 2012, 01:56:11 PM »

EQ development is effectively free since the primitive engine puts a hard limit on expenses, and SOE is more or less it's own bubble within Sony, whereas Blizzard is owned by Activision and is beholden to the whims of a publically traded company as a very, very visible branch of it. I imagine it's also much more expensive to maintain, let alone develop for. Eventually WoW is going to reach the point where Activision forces Blizzard to cease development over more potentially profitable products.

I also don't expect WoW development to continue very long after TITAN is released, whatever TITAN is going to end up being.

Have Group, Will Travel and Chug-a-Lug perks removed.

Also, Jesus Bug mounts.

Shinra · « **Reply #72 on:** March 24, 2012, 06:10:02 AM »

Taking out Have Group is so fucking meaningless, esp if they leave any other means of summoning in the game. All it does is inconvenience raiders for an additional couple of minutes during the gather phase of the raid. Raiders are the only ones really using it, except in some fringe cases where you need to get across the world in a hurry and you have a guild mate where you need to be. I don't see that change making it through beta.
