Garrosh
First, the biggest news, to me, has been the anouncement that the final MoP boss (in the final MoP content patch) will be Garrosh Hellscream (noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo)
He will be part of the raid called The Siege of Orgrimmar, and the goal will be for Alliance and Horde players to take "the mantle of Warchief" from him.
I'm fine if he's not Warchief. It's sad but I'm really just not invested in any of the leaders in general. I used to like Thrall but then he went all Hippie Mary Sue on me.
However, I am invested in my beloved Garrosh Hellscream, and am incredibly sad that he'll be jumping off the crazy ledge of villian-y and into a raid. It's safe to say I won't be partaking in the raid, even if it involves some really cool scenes, fights or whatever. I'll watch it on youtube.
Um can I sack Stormwind?
In all honesty, I could see this coming. Garrosh has become such a hated figure in the community and in the Horde that his doom was just waiting for him. But to partake in the siege of Orgrimmar? That I am disgruntled by. Sure, Orgrimmar is a direct representation of Garrosh, all black metal and red. Fortified for war. A war machine, as said by Metzen in his interview with WoWinsider. But I think it's the coolest city around, and if there was anything Garrosh did right, it was fortify the capitol of the Horde. Unlike a certain King I know who after Deathwing ravaged the gates of his city, built himself a statue (I'm looking at you Varian). Apparently Varian is going to be coming to his own as well, finally becoming the leader he was supposed to be, ala Uther. I never liked Varian. He is like Garrosh in so many ways. I guess we're seeing two sides to a coin, two different paths. Varian and Garrosh both carry that sort of angry, brooding, hotheadedness. The difference is that Varian will be growing out of it (by some miracle. I'm thinking Jaina's lady parts) and Garrosh won't. It's just unfortunate that I'm more attached to the latter.
So, the Horde goes destroys Theramore and Alliance screams HORDE BIAS. But now they get to sack Orgimmar. Um...so can I go sack Stormwind. There's a statue I'd like to take down.
ASIDE: The Metzen interview is fairly interesting read. He mentions that when they decided to take out Garrosh people freaked out saying that they "loved that guy." Really? Where are these people? I would love to meet them since sometimes I feel like I'm the only one. End of ASIDE
Well, I know what I'm playing: Druid
It's safe to say that, unfortunately, the announcement of the new druid Glyphs have cemented my attachment to druids. Yeah, I am that shallow. Give me cool glyphs but force me to be a hybrid and give me no new spells and I'll still play.
My most excited glyph is Glyph of the Treant which has been confirmed to give back our PERMANENT TREE FORM (pause for squealing and running around). Add to that glyphs of Orca (new swim form,) Stars (caster form instead of Moonkin) and Stag (basically...I have officially become a mount) and I'm totally sold on MoP. Forget Pokemon or ...whatever else they're adding...monks, panda, ASIAN STEREOTYPES....TREE FORM YEAHHHH
Hunter
Cool new move for Hunters is Stampede, which is a move that the hunter calls all 5 of his pets out. It's going to be a super move. This, is going ....to be ...SO COOOOOOOLLLLL.....Glad I have a huntard.
Other
-Uh...No more prime glyphs. The glyph system is weird enough as it is. Safe to say all my glyphs are going to be cosmetic if I can do it. DOO EET. YEAH TREE FORM...TREE FORM!
-Speaking of Pokemon rip-offs...HOW ABOUT SOME FARMVILLE!
-Female Pandaren model is curvy and anime-ish. No comments. I dropped out of the Panda wagon soon after Blizzcon-high wore off.
That's all I really read about for now. I was mostly interested in seeing the female Panda model. I was also unfortunately glued to reading every bit about the Siege of Orgrimmar and must now go into early-mourning.
...
TREE FORM!
