Mists of Pandaria World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria is a name trademarked[2] by Blizzard Entertainment[3] that will be the next expansion[4] after Cataclysm Cataclysm. Details were announced at BlizzCon 2011. Blizzplanet reported the announcement was to be made at BlizzCon 2011 from sources during gamescom 2011.[5] MMO Champion speculated that "Mists of Pandaria" could be the name for the next Fail:WoW Icon 16x16.gif expansion[3] and turned out to be correct. Kotaku pointed out that a similar early registration of "Cataclysm" turned out to be the new expansion name.[6]

A release date for the expansion was announced to be September 25th, 2012 with digital pre-orders starting on the announcement date of July 25th, 2012.[1] Details about the Collector's Edition and the Digital Deluxe Edition were included.

MMO Champion's speculation that it might be the next expansion was met by skepticism by several media outlets.[7][8][9] 1UP actually tried to contact Blizzard about this and the reply was "not ready to reveal any details at this time".[10] Strangely, a gaming and technology blogger said that there was a leak about the next expansion being focused on the island of Pandaria back in March 2011.[11]

Finally, Medievaldragon of Blizzplanet wrote a very nice, comprehensive article about the speculation surrounding the rumors and Pandaria in general.[12]

Some analysts doubted it would be released in 2012.[13] Also, in Activision-Blizzard's 2011 Q4 financials call, only Diablo III was confidently predicted to be released in 2012[14][15] with a possible second release being either Mists of Pandaria or StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm.[16][17]

In early April 2012, WoW Insider turned out to have a very accurate prediction of the end of the beta as September 27th being only 2 days from the actual announced release date.[18] Technically, they were more than 2 weeks off, however, because they placed the release of the patch at August 15th.

Debunked?[]

Blizzplanet interpreted a brief comment by Tom Chilton as potentially debunking Mists of Pandaria as the new expansion, something upcoming in World of Warcraft, or something like that (it was all pretty vague).[19][20] The interpretation turned out not to be a debunking and apparently just vague.

BlizzCon 2011 announcement[]

At BlizzCon 2011, Mists of Pandaria was announced as the fourth expansion to the World of Warcraft series.[4] The expansion is set to include a new race for both factions, the Pandaren, as well as a new playable class, the Monk. Other features include a new talent tree system, challenge mode dungeons and a revival of classic Horde versus Alliance warfare.

Launch dates and times[]

Mists of Pandaria Launch Times | 2012-09-18 17:20 | Kaivax
The official Mists of Pandaria launch times are as follows:

With this expansion, we’re using a new bit of tech that will unlock the expansion content, make the intro quest magically pop up in your quest log, and allow you to begin playing the expansion immediately without the need to log out and back in. If everything goes as planned this will be a smooth transition to the adventures that await you in the new continent.

See you in-game!

Players will discover a new continent of Pandaria with a rich new source of creatures, environments, and lore.[4]

Cross-realm zones[]

Main article: Cross-realm zones
  • Some zones, depending on population, will allow players to interact across realms.[38]
    • The specific determination for when a zone will become cross-realm has yet to be revealed, but well known high population zones (quest hub cities and nearby zones) will not be cross-realm.

Pandaren[]

The expansion will introduce a new playable Pandaren race that will be available to both factions.[4]

  • The Wandering Isle starting zone is actually a giant turtle!
  • Pandaren characters will start out Neutral Neutral and choose either Alliance Alliance or Horde Horde at level 10.
    • Alliance Alliance Pandaren are led by Aysa Cloudsinger, a leader that believes the ends never justify the means.[39] Aysa promotes the life philosophy of Tushui through meditation, rigorous training, and moral conviction.[40] New from March 2012 Press Event!
    • Horde Horde Pandaren are led by Ji Firepaw, a staunch defender of home and hearth.[39] Ji, who is outgoing, passionate, and not one for deep thought, leads in the moment by following the more direct Huojin philosophy, believing inaction is the greatest injustice.[40] New from March 2012 Press Event!
  • Pandaren will be able to be the following classes: Monk, Mage, Priest, Hunter, Rogue, Warrior, and Shaman.
  • Pandaren have 5 racial abilities which include the ability to knock out opponents for a few seconds, and less damage from falling.[41]

  • Monks will use Cloth and Leather items.
  • Monks can use the following weapons: Hands and feet, Fist Weapons, One-Handed Axes, One-Handed Maces, One-Handed Swords, Polearms, and Staves.
  • Initially it was announced that monks would not have an auto-attack, but that was changed and they now do.[42] New from March 2012 Press Event!
  • Brewmasters and Windwalkers will use energy, which in turn will fill their chi. So far it looks as if chi will have three "spheres" to fill, and abilities will cost anywhere from one to three.

Races[]

New from March 2012 Press Event! New info from March 2012 Blizzard Entertainment Press Event!

New character creation screen[]

As of the beta Patch 5.0.1 build 15544[citation needed], a new character creation screen was announced and feedback requested.[46] Here are some of the new features:

  • New gear preview during the first step of the character creation process.
    • We now display your character in a high-level armor set specific to the class you've selected. Your character will appear in its normal starting gear only after you've confirmed your race, class, and gender and moved to step two (appearance customization).

  • Thumbnails for each character customization option.

Stat changes[]

  • Spell resistance is gone.[47]

  • PvP Power replaces Spell penetration and PvP Resilience replaces Resilience.[47][48]

Talent revamp[]

See Talent calculator for links to latest expansion calculators.

This expansion will make dramatic changes to how the talent system works that Blizzard is calling "Talents 2.0".[4]

  • No talent points or ranks.
  • One talent tree per class.
  • Earn talents every 15 levels, but spec abilities may be available every 10 levels or so.
  • Every talent addition you can choose 1 of 3 and you can't change it without a fresh re-spec.
  • No mandatory talents.*
  • Change talents as easily as glyphs.
  • Talents that appear to have the same name as existing abilities may have dramatically changed in effect.

Talent revamp based on categorization evaluation of current talents:[49]

  1. Mandatory - Talents that were previously considered nearly mandatory will be automatically added.
  2. Very cool, but not mandatory - The heart of the new talent system are talents that are cool options, but won't penalize you if you don't pick them.
  3. Sort of cool - Most of these type talents will be made glyphs.
  4. Boring - Baking into base spells instead of as modifiers.
  5. Useless - These will be cut unless they are requested by players after trying out new system.

Black Market Auction House[]

Main article: Black Market Auction House
  • Black Market Auction House found with the Tavern in the Mists at the Veiled Stair gives players access to bid on items normally not sold by NPCs.[50]

  20. Charles Onyett 2011-08-30. The Future of World of Warcraft - Blizzard talks 4.3 changes, Mists of Pandaria rumors and more.. PC.IGN.comSpeculation swirled recently regarding Blizzard's decision to trademark 'Mists of Pandaria', as many thought it may indicate the name of the next World of Warcraft expansion. Pandaria, in Warcraft lore, refers to the home of the Pandaren, basically humanoid war pandas you may remember making an appearance as neutral heroes in in Warcraft III. Chilton said the speculation was, "wildly overhyped." He added, "if you look at traditionally how we've handled that race it's been in those secondary products because we haven't realized it in the world. Most of the time when we do anything panda-related it's going to be a comic book or a figurine or something like that."

  91. Blizzard Entertainment Mumper (Cory Stockton) 2012-07-22. #8 - Comments: AH effect on Pet Battles and D3. Official Mists of Pandaria Beta > Beta Pet Battles forum (US)We just finished a pass making all pets that are caught via pet battles in the world non-tradeable. This means these pets cannot be put in cages for trading or posting on the AH. We felt that the option to buy these pets on the AH would take away from the exploration/collection gameplay of the system.

    This could always change in a future patch, but this is how it will go out with MoP. You should see the change in our next build.

    We have been discussing this issue the last couple of days and we made the call to make the following mounts account-wide:
    • Traveler's Tundra Mammoth
    • Grand Expedition Yak
    • Mechano-Hog
    • Mekgineer's Chopper
    • Sandstone Drake
    • Grand Ice Mammoth
    • Ice Mammoth
    • Jeweled Onyx Panther (all color variants)
    • Cloud Serpents (all color variants)
    At this point, the only mounts that are not account-wide are either class specific or rewarded from PVP. We feel like both these types of mounts should still be character specific.
