105 Comments

In addition to introducing the new Pandaria zone and Pandaren race, next month's World of Warcraft expansion Mists of Pandaria will bring "dozens" of new mounts, Blizzard has announced. The developer revealed these today through the World of Warcraft website, detailing a host of animal beasts and vehicles.

Mists of Pandaria brings dragon cloud serpent mounts.

New mounts for Mists of Pandaria include cloud serpents (at right), water striders, flying discs, yaks, and a gun-mounted zeppelin. More details and images of the expansion's mounts are available through the game's website.

Mists of Pandaria is World of Warcraft's fourth expansion, and arrives on September 25. The add-on also bumps the game's level cap to 90 and introduces a new monk class.

I still find it weird that you can't get a copy of GW2 now. I think they are waiting for MOP to launch and it's effect on their pop. It has nothing to do with keeping players happy and lag. It's all about $$ and they don't want 15 servers sitting empty. I'm placing bets right now that around Sep 23 digital copies of GW2 will become available.

@buccomatic Come back to me when GW2 sells tens of millions of copies of GW and has a user base of 9 million which will get a bump when this expansion comes out. I've tried GW2, and knew within 10 minutes that the game doesn't hold a candle to WoW.

@Barrakas21 @michaelrjohnson

They said the same thing about SWTOR: "nah it's better than WOW just give it some time it's too new they gotta fix some stuff..." and well we know where it went. i'm far from a WOW fanboy and i've tried to find a new MMO but GW2, SWTOR they all were normal and in my opinion not enough to beat WOW, it's more to compete equally

This is true, wow is a great game regardless which races/classes they put in. The fact that they still update it and constantly work on new IDEA by adding content is amazing, considering the fact that it has been 8 years released on november 24th =)

GW2 is also a great game, but again it was just released and lets see what it will offer us in the next 7 years.

Don't hate, just play!!

@Metallicwolf29 @Winterdawns

If you'd read my comment is everything apart whining. I was just explaining that all these stupid things you're posting (you included) are useless, everyone enjoy different games, where is the problem? But you had to post another useless comment like "Cry moar" without adding anything to the discussion but just confirming that you're a 12 years old child or just another idiot, now just choose.

And since I don't want to insult a child below 18 years of age, I just let you post more useless comments since it's the best thing that you're able to do.

If after reading my previous post all the comes in your mind it's "Cry Moar", well, I don't think you have the IQ to discuss in a mature and civil way.

If a game it's really good you don't have to diss another one to make the other look good and awesome. If some people thinks that WoW is good that doesn't mean that Guild Wars 2 is bad, and viceversa.

Your attitude it's just childish and stupid, you can insult me as much as you want, but the one making the figure of an idiot it's you, not me. Just grow up.

How many so called "wow killers" are come and gone and failed. I don't see Guild Wars 2 being able to overthrow WoW and become the number one MMO.

@gameking5000 GW2 really is different. All the other wow killers were crap. It's early, but GW2 is certainly living up to the hype right now. Most fun I've had in a mmo in ages.

@Stiler @n0matter Actually, since Pandaria was announced, WoW fanboys have kinda taken a backseat to all the folks who've been openly making fun of it with the same jokes over and over again. Yes, it's a silly expansion, but the trolls have been behaving like small children who keep telling the same unfunny jokes, while laughing and running away.

I bought Guild Wars 2, and it's great. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. But it is not the "end-all-be-all" of MMOs. And I'm really amused at the polarizing one-sided stances people are displaying with that game, pretty much saying that since it came out, why bother playing anything else?

You know what's going to blow your mind? And a lot of people's minds in here? I'm playing GW2 (I don't plan on stopping anytime soon).... and I still occasionally play WoW. Yeah, worlds are about to collide folks! There's some CRAZY person who happens no like multiple games! I even plan on cramming Borderlands 2 in between! THE HORROR!

Hell, I remember getting funny looks from people back when I told them I owned a PS3 AND a 360, and still loved playing PC games.

Now, WoW is not the ultimate MMO out there either. That game hit its peak over three years ago, and it will never hit that mark ever again. It's aging, and everyone knows it. But because of these anti-WoW fanatics, NO ONE is allowed to like the game, even for nostalgic purposes. If you show any shred of mild enjoyment out of it, you're labeled as a sheep.

You want sheep? Go to the Madden/Call of Duty articles.

@DragonRift @Stiler @n0matter I was with your positive outlook on gaming, but then you had to do the same thing you are complaining about by throwing a jab at Madden and COD. Kind of hypocritical. You know what's going to blow your mind? Genuine free thinking people enjoy those games too.

A huge reason why I support GW2 over WoW is that ArenaNet WANTS to promote a business model with no subscription fees. I don't see why anyone would want to pay 15$/month to play over having no fees at all. Blizzard is milking all its players and many seem to like it.

ArenaNet WANTS to deliver a high quality product and has invested 5 years in making it so. None of this annual business cycle like other mega-grossing franchises such as CoD. Sort of like CD Projekt Red (Witcher 1 & 2) who want to provide DLC-like content for free.

I don't see why gamers wouldn't be in favour of such philosophies and instead feel the need to defend companies that charge them a steady stream of money beyond the original purchase price to continue to play.

@7_armageddon_7 You will never understand the sheep, many people in real life are similar, they go for expensive stuff when they can have something better for less money (working in megamarket so I am experiencing that everyday)

@Sky_Stifler @7_armageddon_7 Or maybe.... this is just hypothetical speaking here... they still pay for it because they still like the game?

I know this is hard for people like you to understand, since you're obviously hellbent on assuming that all WoW players are mindless sheep that flock together from expansion to expansion.

My heavy-playing WoW days ended in 2008, and I've moved onto other games myself. I'm enjoying the crap out of GW2 like many others... and will for a loooong time. I even bought the collector's edition. :D

But I'm also buying the collector's edition of Mists. Why? Because unlike people like you, I play games I enjoy, not games people TELL ME I should enjoy. It IS entirely possible for someone to have fun with WoW and GW2 simultaneously.

But hopefully this works out better than it did when I bought the collector's edition of SWTOR... boy was that a mistake on my part. :|

@DragonRift @Sky_Stifler For my part, I understand that WoW is a good game and that people pay because they enjoy it. I just get irked when folks slag GW2 and not realize that this subscription free model is really good for consumers (I know that some can afford 15$/month) and, taking into personal tastes, I do really think that GW2 *cannot* be called a "bad" game where the developer did not put effort, thought and polish into their work, where the developer rushed the game out before it was ready in the name of profits, advocate a pay-to-win mentality, etc, etc.

It would be nice if they concentrated on game content rather than lame gimmicks like these mounts, pokemon and pointless achievements. Instead we're stuck with another microscopic sized 5-level expansion. Three weeks of content to last us two years

Ahh, I remember those days when WoW was considered the crown jewel of MMO gaming. It's aging, and should probably stop after this expansion. But they were some good years.

@Dudeinator They're not. They have two more expansions to go, since it's likely they'll stop once the level cap is set to 100.
