So I am the new kid on the block here at Piercing Howl. And I wanted to talk about Pandas.
Even though it is more important to digest the actual information we have, like the awesome ideas for the new talent system, I want to address an issue with the WoW community. The freakout over things they know nothing about yet.
Even if you are not that excited about MoP as an expansion, to dismiss it because there is a movie that kind of resembles the idea of an expansion is just ridiculous. It is like saying that Cataclysm is just another big bad dragon killing things. That is what some of the community seems to be doing, and I am personally tired of it.
Everyone longed for the days where it took months to kill a dragon because it was challenging. The cries of, the game went to the casuals resonated all over the internet. So Firelands was made a lot more difficult and now you have raiders questioning if 400+ pulls on H-Ragnaros is simply bad design. I mean seriously? You asked for it, and now you are blaming the design because what you asked for is, well, exactly what you asked for?
Everyone thought making things difficult again was going to make them feel elite and privileged, but all it did was make you hate Zandalari dungeons. People can never be happy with anything.
I say enough! let the Pandas BE! They will be awesome, I am going to love them and cannot wait to see how they hold a shield with no opposable thumb.
Stop the madness, consume the content, have fun with it and don't make the call the Waaambulance anymore.
Out of all the reasons for the new expansion pushing more long-term players out the door, I'd imagine the Pandaren is the least important of them. I'm with you; people need to get a grip if they're outraged about the new race.
ReplyDeleteThere are more important concerns and I'm going to hold off on renewing my subscription until I see some shake out.
Oh, and warrior changes to the PTR would be nice. I can't shake the feeling we'll be hit with the nerfbat a week prior to live and just being told to suck it up.
Yea, I hate that warriors seem to get the nerf as a first line of action most of the time. Let us have fun once in a while. What is wrong with the class that has WARRIOR for a name to destroy faces until the next expansion.
ReplyDeleteI mean, don't get me wrong - Fury is clearly overpowered right now, and I (personally) think another nerf is on the cards and would be justified.
ReplyDeleteBut where's the Revenge buff?
Where's the Arms buff?
We've got another three weeks, I'd say, before 4.3 and I don't want yet another round of nerfs just before the patch goes live and we have no choice but to just live with it.
