All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsZarhym: Artists are "hacking away at" new dances

Okay, so we've been hearing this for a while now. The Dance Studio is coming at some point during Wrath, it's just been delayed. There's been no word about that beyond it though. We're not even sure if they have a rough target patch for it. It's just sort of out there, that unanswered question: Dude, where's my feature?
Zarhym spoke out on it again the other day, and while on one level it's more of the same "it's coming when it comes" type of talk we've heard before, he does say that the art team is "hacking away" at it when they aren't faced with more looming deadlines like Ulduar. This is probably the first time that I can recall that we have had someone from the Blizzard team saying that yes, it is being actively worked on.
Now admittedly, this still isn't a release date, and I'm still not expecting it until at least 3.3, but it's out there, which is the good thing. Here's looking forward to the day when I can have my Human Death Knight start dancing the Matt Dance.

I'm finding myself wondering what sort of customization we'll have if this comes out.
My guess is that they'll have a bunch of short moves that you can select and place in an order to create a full dance. Either that or juts being able to select a dance from another race or something.

I demand that when a DK has army of the dead out, that the DK + ghouls all do the Thriller dance.
IT MUST BE DONE.

This would be proof of a loving and benevolent universe. Or at least a development team that has powers of awesome far beyond natural human capacity.

OMG YES THIS!
Veliaf Feb 1st 2009 6:51AM
This.
Aubrecia Jan 31st 2009 9:45PM
Oh, shit, I want the Matt dance, too.
Leon Jan 31st 2009 9:55PM
Me too.
By the way, thanks for the link to the video. =)

I better be able to get the Charleston, or someone is going to have a very angry Tauren on their hands.

What was that French song when the female night elf was dancing? It sounds familiar but I don't know the name.

Alizee singing J'en Ai Marre
(don't ask why I know this particularly useless piece of trivia)

Wow, first toy train sets and motorcycles, now custom dancing! I'm so glad they have their priorities straight. Who needs bugfixes and class balancing, we got dancing! God I am so glad I quit that retarded loserfest.

Yet you have nothing better to do then troll WI....sad.

Better e-mail your concerns immediately! Blizz needs to relocate their art department to better assist the gameplay balance/bug fix department starting MONDAY!
