the simple answer is people (normally teenagers) want to put things down by pretending they are "too childish" for them, so a race that emulates kung fu panda is ripe for the "uhhh casual kids are ruining our game" crowd, I agree it was a fantastic expansion, 5.1 and 5.2 were some of the best content they ever did, but it never got the chance It deserved because people couldn't see past the pandas.

They're idiots who take offense that a game that never took itself seriously to begin with (and that contains numerous pop-culture references and jokes) had the audacity to include something as childish as kung fu pandas... I absolutely loved Mists and it's still my favorite expansion. It looked and sounded beautiful, and Pandaren are so cute.
@kerianhalcyon2769
@kerianhalcyon2769 8 жыл бұрын
Largely because of its timing. By all rights, MoP should never have come after Cataclysm; arguably Cataclysm should never have happened the way it did. Lore-wise it introduced something that was ultimately game-changing, something that should have forever rocked the world to its core and introduce a terrible evil that was hyped as unstoppable...then suddenly pandas, out of nowhere. Given the fact that a sequel to Kung Fu Panda was being released at the time, and the apparent rumor going around that the expansion's trailer was initially an April Fools Joke going over the top, and not to mention the problems that the game had throughout its time (largely an extension of problems introduced by Cataclysm, such as essentially making dungeons a joke and focusing largely on raids) made the natural response to most fans to be to consider it the worst expansion. Granted, however, Pandaria isn't without merit. Like I said, the timing of the expansion is largely the reason why it got so much flak. If Cataclysm/DeathWing/OldGods wasn't a thing, Pandaria probably would have gotten much less hate. The music in the expansion is probably some of the best in the game, it introduced a decent side-story that was completely original rather than following on the hype of the story set down by the previous Warcraft games, and it also expanded some of the visuals to the engine that would later evolve into the visual upgrades we would see in Warlords of Draenor. All in all, it wasn't that bad. This is largely from an observer's point of view. I've never played WoW and I doubt I ever will in the near future, but I've kept track of its lore and progress since Wrath of the Lich King. I'm pretty confident in my knowledge over it.

Halcyon Industries I find it a bit sad that people always bring up the panda movies and claim that's what inspired the Pandaren, while in reality it was most likely Dreamworks who stole from Blizzard. Without Warcraft 3 and The Frozen Throne there probably would be no Kung Fu Panda franchise today.

Filip Daněk In the first sundering (when 80% of Kalimdor was completely destroyed because of the Well of Eternity's implosion) the orcs were not in Azeroth. I think only the Kaldorei were fighting the Burning Legion. In the second invasion the orcs arrived to Azeroth, corrupted by the demons. At that time, Pandaria was already hidden beyond the mists.

Filip Daněk No Very Wrong. Summary: Titans Built Azeroth (+ everything else), Azeroth gets taken over by old gods, Titans return, Kill single old god, Lock them all in the heart of Azeroth, Provide Well of eternity (not sure on this), Make Dragon Aspects, Set Sargeras to defend everything, He got corrupted, made burning legion, gathered army, found Azeroth, yummy well of eternity, decided to corrupt elves and summon him and his army through it, Got rekt by some High Elf (became night elves) heros (illidan, malfurion, tyrande) and dragon aspects. Corrupted night elves took a tiny bit from well of eternity and put into sunwell after a while, became high elves again, meanwhile night elves granted immortality for their bravery and tree of life. Then thousands of years pass, The burning legion (as it was now called) found the orcs, gave them fel blood, led them against Azeroth, sort of rekt humans but not quite.. Humans + high elves + Dwarves + Gnomes won the war. Then maybe another war with orcs and humans i dunno. Then Thrall Freed his people and Grommash's people (clans) and led them to Kalimdor from warning of the Watcher. The Human kings ignored the watcher when he said they were gonna get fucked. Night Elves sort of listened but they were in Kalimdor and in no serious peril. Jaina however listened and took her people to Kalimdor as well (theramore) The orcs were getting ass kicked by night elves so Grommash (and his clan) drank fel blood and killed their demi-god (Cenarius). Thrall came back and was like wtf and then he and Grommash fended off a mini invasion and killed Mannaroth, Grommash Dies, Thrall and Jaina become friends and they reach alliance with the Night Elves as well. Meanwhile Eastern Kingdoms gets anally fucked when their prince (arthas) betrays them and kills the king then leads the scourge to defeat his own people (first DK then Lich King). The scourge moves to Azeroth to try and Kill the night elves and get at the Tree of Life (war of the ancients) They fight bravely and let the tree blow up and kill the Burning Legion commander that was leading the Scourge and the Burning Legion into Azeroth. Arthas becomes lich king when the scourge is almost wiped out, and the High elves get thier well destroyed all amongst this, the high elves become the blood elves be restoring something (I dunno) and the rest is WoW

So in the end, what do you think the Heart of Pandaria really was? Was it Emperor Shaohao, as he believed in his final moments? Or was it something else? Throughout the entire journey, Shaohao learned from the land, yes. It could very well be that it is the land itself that was the Heart of Pandaria. But there's something more to the story that was never discussed. Why was Shaohao Emperor? Why save Pandaria? For himself? Because it was his duty? For his land? No. It was always because of his people. The farmers, the fishers, the scribes, the cooks. The title of Emperor means nothing without the people. They, I believe, are the Heart of Pandaria. They are surely worth fighting for. Alas, Shaohao realised this last episode but it seems something led him astray at the last possible moment...

This is it then. The time has come. The legion is here, but this time we are ready. So this time when the legion comes, they will not find a land divided amongst themselves with petty squabbles, but a land that stands unified. We will stop them, and we will bring down Justice. For all the lives they've taken, all the world's they've broken, and all the destinies they've ruined. This time, we know what we are fighting for, and the legion won't know what hit them.

in shaohao`s defence the story does acnowledge that he indeed isnt perfect and the journey was him learning the lessons of the land to save his people, in that last note i actually understand why the emperor only saved pandaria, think about it, he only knew there where another lands because of the vision and he didnt knew who lived there or where was this land we knew but of course he didnt, he did all he could to save his people and that its a heroic sacrifice worth remembering...

This series has been executed well from the beginning. Your lore team has done a great job telling us the story of the last emperor in a way that is touching. I encourage you to continue this kind of work. Especially as you head into the next expansion, it will be imperative that we gamers see the 'humanity' of the story. If all we see is bloodshed, then it becomes difficult to empathize with the characters.

+Max FX Mists of Pandaria pretty much started the story arc that would eventually lead to Legion. With Wrathion's warning, and his wish to protect Azeroth, and all his plans that ended with him forcing the Iron Horde upon us so that the Horde and the Alliance would be forced to unite and work together, to be strong, and to fight for their home Azeroth.
