5.2 Rise of the Thunder King TrailerFollow

.

So basically any kind of anti-troll racism is thoroughly justified at this point.

Them damn trolls,always zombieing things!

If one didn't know, when they [blizzard] had to figure out a way to write Pandaria into lore w/o breaking it too much...back in the day the Trolls sided with the Mogu.

Sigh. Any *non* youtube links? That still be blocked here.

This is literally the first time I have EVER seen someone say this, and I've been playing online games for over a decade.

Rise of da Dunder King.

I'm sad to see that the Zandalari are brought back - again. The voodoo and animal spirits theme is getting old; I wish they'd go back to the Burning Legion storyline. Metzen is going for a return of Illidan at some point, so why not now? Anything is better than the damn animal gods again. Like farming ZA/ZG for half a year wasn't traumatizing enough, if I have to run around in armor made out of painted pieces of wood and feathers again, I'm going to scream.

It's a matter of principle! ZA/ZG left ugly scars across my soul.

This is literally the first time I have ever seen someone say that each patch generally improves the game. I'm used to each patch making me slightly more and more confused.

Filler content is always a terrible idea. I mean, I guess the alternative was waiting a lot longer for ICC, but it still just wasn't fun.

Mounted combat was/is really bad in World of Warcraft, and I just can't wrap my head around how they managed to @#%^ it up. Of all the MMORPG's I've played, WoW has always been the most polished. The movement and combat in WoW is unrivaled, not because of special effects or physics or anything, but because there's no ability lag and movement is fluid and responsive.

The mounted combat feels nothing like that. From the tourney in Icecrown to the lancing in Mount Hyjal, moving and fighting on mounts is just clunky as all hell. I don't get why. Did they beat the developer who did combat animations retarded somewhere between release of Vanilla and Wrath of the Lich King? It's disgusting.

I hate the part in Mount Hyjal where you have to jump around in the air on a hippogryph with a lance, trying to stab enemies that can actually fly. So bad. And I know it's a homage to some ancient video game - before physics and 3D environments were invented - but it's crap! And you HAVE to do it to get to the next part of the quest chain, so you can't just skip it. And the reward? A choice between two pets that are shared account-wide now. Run that quest twice and there's zero reason (besides xp) to run it again, but you have to, or you won't be able to finish the zone.

Horrible design.

I did it on all three characters I took to cap.

I still did jousting most days. It was annoying, but just mindless once you got used to it. I could clear the champions without paying much attention at all. Gave me my seals and was one of the best dailies for farming gold. Quest NPC is right next to the actual quest content, so...

Still, I can't say I was having fun. But I can't say I was ever really having fun doing dailies. I really hope Elder Scrolls Online learns to use the radiant quest system from Skyrim. The objectives might not vary a lot, but at least the actual gameplay would change day to day.

Wait, there are people who LIKED those?

I just figured there were people who tolerated them...
