Fun until you reach level 90.
PostedOctober 30, 2012
I had a lot of hopes for this game at first. However I was deeply disappointed when i hit the level cap and to see how much blizzard had to offer in terms of gearing up. The leveling process from 85 to 90 was mostly a grind, but i still had fun doing it with seeing all the new content blizzard had released. However when I hit level 90 for the first time and started to gear up my character, I found that the ONLY way to do that is to do daily quests EVERY DAY! Its plain and simple, if you do not do your dailies, you will not get gear, or at least you won't be on par with everyone else if you don't. Why in the heck would blizzard do this? They knew players did not like dailies in Cata, and now the whole bloody expansion revolves around them. I'm sorry but with 2 weeks of constantly grinding rep from dailies I quit. I do not recommend this game unless you love to grind dailies every day for about 2-3 hours per day.

Great but repetitive and extremely time consuming
PostedOctober 21, 2012
I've loved WoW for 7 yrs now. I love the MoP concept however once you hit 90 you're opened up to hours and hours of dailies to earn "must have" rep for gear and prof recipes which is ridiculous for people that can only play a few hours here and there or daily. It's been a month now and I see very few Pandas at 90 because most people are still grinding out their main characters for rep and gear. I'm not expecting it to be easy but they really need to change rep I hope blizzard changes this with patches but as of now it's extremely time consuming after 90. Otherwise the lore, questing, leveling are great they just need to really work on fixing the end game content.

Im glad i was optimistic.

I was really suprised how great this exspansion was. I figured it would be good but not great. They really made the questing more interesting with the new voice actors; so its easier to follow along the story. I dont really care about the new talent system. Its not bad, very simple, kinda boring. Thats my only complaint. Other than that, i loved questing in Pandaria, the dungeons are fun, the new challenge mode is awesome and competitive. Havent raided yet but ive watched some live stream and its looks epic. I dont see how some are saying it is ruined when all this new content is so great. Questing was improved, new challenge system for runs, dynamic raids and dungeons(as usual). What else do you want? Pet battle system is fun to mess around with wen ur board or in a que. I love this exspansion way more than Cata. Ill wait to see if its better than WoTLK when i get some raiding hours under my belt. Otherwise, i recommend it completely. It feels fresh, its fun, new challenge system, Guild vs Guild pvp, pet system and some nice looking raids. Whats not to like? Seriously...
Mists of Pandaria has been quite a let down unfortunately, showing that Blizzard has lost its way. The basic gameplay hasn't changed since the game first released in 2004. Although now the quests, reputations and justice/valor rewards are all locked behind an extra large serving of grind served with a side of uninteresting dailys. The storylines are for the most part interesting but you quickly forget that when you're trying to get the last yak bladder that you need to complete your quest. One of the new big things that was being hyped were the pet battles. Although once again Blizzard missed it's mark trying to create something that's like 'Pokemon-Lite', fans of pet battles will probably find it shallow and not terribly interesting compared to the source material. The graphics are being pushed to their limits with this expansion and it really shows. While the new zones and races look pretty nice no work has been done to make the older resources look any better and at times they clash and it just looks incredibly ugly. The sound in the game is done rather well; the voiceacting that I've heard so far has been good and the music is always fantastic.
