Pick whatever class you want it's free.. ish

Want some great Blizzard WoW news? Of course you do! Well when i first gave you the details on Mists of Pandaria i was excited for the newest expansion and gave in depth analysis of the new Monk and Panda class, Blizzard is pushing into the Free to Play territory even further than being able to play the Vanilla version of WoW until level 20. They've stepped up their game and are now letting us play with all the available races!! (Take a breather i know this news has got you hyped up) That's right guys Blizzard really wants us to get back into the game for those of use who don't have subscriptions or any other reason for not playing the game up until this point.

That's right gamers the entire cast of class and races will be available to play in the Vanilla play wow to level 20, although subscribing still has it's perks like level 90 and open areas and what not but for now this is awesome to know. Yes once World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria drops September 25th the Monk and Panda will also be apart of the free to play till level 20 also!! The patch will be released August 28th it will feature new talents and a trainer that can reset your glyphs and talents.

September is officially Panderen month.. for the ALLIANCE!!

Wow enthusiasts and MMO heads i'm getting my BPD (Blogs Per Day) damage out of the way and get you guys hype for some new news.. World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria has a release date.. and its right around the corner! The new content of Pandaria will become available for us WoW vets to start exploring sooner than we think! That not enough to get you to come back to the game and get your playing the wildly popular MMO, how about brand new quests, the Panderan race, Monk Class and a raised level cap of 90! Man Blizzard sure knows how to freeze our wallets in place don't they? Anyway some interesting things about the new Class and Race:

Monk: Three Talent Trees

1. Tank Tree - Brewmaster
2. Healing Tree - Mistweaver 
3. DPS Tree - Windwalker

The healing tree makes it possible to drop stones similar to the totems shamans drop

You build up Chi for more advanced techniques 

The monk does indeed have an auto attack

Healing spec gives you a mana bar like everyone else

Tank and DPS gives you an energy bar

Monks wear the finest leather armor

Every race can be a monk... except the Goblin and Worgen.. =( 

Panderan can be horde or alliance with the choice to be: Hunter, Monk, Mage, Priest, Rouge, Shaman and Warrior

Really interesting that it has the three best of all around talents to give vets and new comers the chance to make the monk of there dreams and enemies nightmares. In most MMO's i usually go for DPS as my talent of choice so the monk is more than likely getting a shot from me when i eventually pick up the game and cant wait to play around and see how high i can make the DPS and the strategy behind it will be. Blizzard has really made it a huge effort to improve the graphics on the newest expansion pulling the graphics power that much higher on your computer.

Sorry guys going to have to stick with playing with yourself and not other people

So fans of PvP and multiplayer are going to be disapointed but rejoiced at the same time, Blizzard informed us  the multiplayer mode wasn't the way they wanted it to be so instead of making the whole game suffer sadly when it comes out the mode wont be available until they get everything right. I think its good they don't want to half ass the experience by giving us a mode that is incomplete but giving us the game without mulitplayer or PvP seems.. strange, we've been waiting this long for the game i don't think anyone would mind pushing the game back to be complete with both online and offline playability. Another feature taken out and one of my personal favorites in a blizzard game Companion pets (The ones that walk with you or walk with you?) and Reforging scrolls wont make the cut in the final game either until later on either. All these features and the game is in good not great completion with them saying "Good things come to those who wait" meaning we have to wait for the perfect game developers have busting their asses to make this game the perfect game they've been working so hard to make for us the fans.

We dont get a release date but a promise from blizzard that we gon die!

During Diablo III beta playthroughs gamers were complaining about the level of difficulty presented before them.... seriously you complained about how easy a BETA was?! anyway moving on from that later video's of Blizzard and the maximum cockiness they have a video simiply titles "You will die we promise" once reaching higher levels of difficulty the game will depend more on strategy than what you have equipped. (Good thing i grind in RPG's like there is no tommorrow. Still without a release date we are left to sit here and twiddle our thumbs in wait as we think of strategies to prove to Blizzard that we will not die... I'm a Dark Phoenix so i cant be killed i cant think of a reason for all of you.

Blizzard promises console Diablo III wont suck

Look you lucky PC gamers who get to play Diablo 3in beta form.... -Bleep BLEEP bleep- yea i self censored myself just because you get to play the most talked about and awesome game ever but i digress, what about players like me and other gamers who have Xbox and PS3? Months way back Blizzard set out to find the best to help them make a console version of the PC title.... 3 people showed up only -_- should have probably held a reality show or something!.

I'm one of the many that would prefer to play Diablo III on my Xbox on my HD TV rather than a computer that i'm probably sure cant play the game anyway, although i'm sure i remember Blizzard and the other console flops they've had in the past such as Starcraft 64 and the non existent Starcraft: Ghost.

WTF EVER HAPPENED TO THIS GAME!?

Diablo 3 is a title that certainly deserves its console debut and Blizzard knows that and i trust them on that, they don't want to half ass or belittle an already great game and turn it into a crappy port that one gamer side is going to enjoy more than the other. Instead Blizzard wants to go all out with a console release of Diablo III is well planned, greatly staffed and in the best shape of its life when it reaches consoles.... Diablo knows when, pretty sure its not getting Starcraft Ghost syndrome and will come out never check out this quote from the director Jay Wilson:



“People don’t believe us when we say we’re going to make a console game. I understand why they don’t believe us, because we've tried this before. We’ve also never invested in it to the degree that we’re doing now, and we've never had a product that we felt was appropriate for it.


We don’t want to port it. We want to build it for console. There’s a key difference.
Our goal is to make a game that feels like it’s natively made for a console. If we make it, we want it to feel like a Blizzard game and that we built it for that platform from the ground up.”


Always good to hear a gaming company is willing to take things slow and bust there asses to make sure we as the customers are exceedingly hapy with the product we have purchased, my hats off to you Blizzard i'll wait as long as i have to for a console Diablo 3.
