Whos Excited for MoP?Follow

That would be kind of awesome in a messed up way.

Seriously though, it's good to see them doing something to rectify the mess that is Holy Nova. That spell is ridiculously pointless. I can't even kill **** at level 85 in a disc spec in Stratholme dead side with that spell.

Many years ago, I ran cross a kid at GenCon who was describing this great spell he and his little buddies had thought up - he called it the blade bolt - a ring of flying blades that surroundef the caster doing some godawful damage to any enemy who got too close. I got back home and had a great laugh with my own D&D buddies about these stupid kids and their "pocket nuke" spell.

Danged if TSR didn't bring the thing out on their own the following year.

I would not get too excited about anything, especially talents and skills. You will see the further we get away from Blizzcon and the closer we get to release, that the skills will become increasingly more "realistic". Blizzard knows how to play its fan base. Having gone from BC to Wrath to Cata it's pretty obvious if you pay attention that they throw out a few out of control spells so everyone is like "Wow! Look at what I'll be able to do!" Come release, though, most of those skills will be nerfed into the ground and GC will make a comment about how it was "only beta" and that "in practice it was too strong, it'd force us to redesign boss encounters from the ground up."

Mark. My. Words.

I'm excited.

I'm a more casual player, and the idea of the farms and the pet battles might mean that there's something new to actually *do* in-game.

I'm not always in the mood for Heroics, don't have a raiding guild, and I don't really enjoy PvP.

As it is, with most of my characters on 85, I'm already running out of things to do, some days I'll log onto the game just long enough to do 2 characters' Cooking/Fishing dailies and then log right back off. Sometimes I do a dungeon run for my human paladin's judgement recolor just to laugh at the 30th time I've killed Rokmar, Capt Skarloc, or Nazan and their pieces *didn't* drop. Sometimes I get *really* energetic and decide to kill Anzu for the 300th+ time only to ooo and ahhhh at those awesome rings, necklaces and crap that he drops.

Ah well.

Hopefully MoP will change that -- hopefully Scenarios don't go down the Path of the Titans, hopefully Pet Battles are actually decently fun to do now-and-then, hopefully they upgrade Archaeology, hopefully the farms are something interesting to do, and hopefully they deliver on their promises of smoother heroics from the start, instead of the Cluster-*beeeeep* that early Cataclysm heroics were.

Hopefully they don't break our classes in doing so; I've seen some awesome changes in Paladins; other changes (no targetless AoE for Ret!?!?!?) have me a little less-than-excited.

Hopefully the positives will outweigh the negatives.

The only skill like that for rogues is raid-stealth, and I think as much as it would be cool, it mainly sounds game-breaking for PvP, and Blizzard would probably never allow it in PvP.

After poking around in the beta yesterday.. I will happily put down my lightsaber for a few hours here and there and play with the pandas. The new engine seems to work great. Even with the vast amounts of people crammed in to the starting area I never dipped below 25 FPS. The biggest thing I noticed was how dated the original character models are. Anyone know if they are gonna get a facelift?
