Mists of Pandaria Opening Cinematic Revealed

Mists of Pandaria Opening Cinematic Revealed

You've ended Deathwing's destructive rampage and saved the dragonflights from extinction. Now you must unlock the mysteries of the lost continent and discover the dark secrets of Pandaria's past. Explore ancient kingdoms hidden since before the Sundering, plunder vast treasures from the depths of the forgotten vaults, and rise to defend Pandaria from the shadow of a long buried evil - before it's too late.

We are pleased to present the opening cinematic for Mists of Pandaria as presented at gamescom 2012. Whether you’re Horde or Alliance, there is one question we all must consider: “Why do we fight?”

I really wish Blizzard could somehow make a WOW movie, their cinematics are way better than anything else I've seen, within the scope of what's out there today.

@Ryedawg: That is because of how short the clip is, If they made a movie it couldn't have as much detail as this. But a movie would still be awesome

@Ebonist: they can't be dk because they where secluded in the mist during the event of the lich kings conquest. also can't be druid. that's all i know. hope it answers you question.

To ask why we fight, is to ask why leaves fall. It is in their nature. Perhaps there is a better question.

i will prolly be flamed up the azz for this...so here goes. (and yes. i do have a few 85s)

i have played this game since Sept '05 and i am, unfortunately, giving my farewell to this wonderful game. i have had some great/good/bad experiences throughout my time playing this game and by no means will give it a bad rap. the "challenge" is just no longer there for me.

Classic (i refuse to call it vanilla) was an awesome experience for me and was a wonderful challenge going into the end game. BC only improved (massively imho) on what Classic had in place. LK is where i started to lose interest in the game as i felt like the challenge was gone once you got to the end game and felt like it was too easy to get good gear. Cataclysm restored some my interest in the beginning, because of how challenging everything was, but eventually lost it in the end as Blizzard started to make the game "easier" again and therefore removed the challenge from the game for me.

after seeing what is coming in MoP, my interest was not restored in the slightest bit. the game feels like it's casual now more than what it was in the Classic and BC eras. don't get me wrong. i've known of the padaren, Cheg, throughout the game and have been wanting to play a pandaren for a while. now the time is here and i feel like the game isn't challenging anymore.

awesome game Blizzard, but the challenge, and interest, are no longer there for me. Still have the best cinematics, imho.

@Munek: K one if you lost interest in the game why did you bother to level a toon to level 80? And 2 this game is and always has been a team based game . So for you to say it's not a challenge for you individually is completely retarded . You want a challenge go into ds and solo the whole thing on heroic . Then you can say it's not a challenge to you.
