Peggy is the best.
KennethCarson asked:
Since Pandaren will be in both factions, what happens to faction specific items that are tagged with all the races of that faction? For example if a Pandaren is exalted with SW and bought a horse, learning it, would it change to a wolf upon changing to horde, since the character's race didn't change and it's ok for Pandaren to use horses would they keep it?
Most every item, faction reputation, and title that has a faction-specific restriction has some sort of alternative on the other side of the fence. For instance, my Swift Horde Wolf becomes a Swift Alliance Steed if I faction-change, and vice versa. I would imagine the same is true for Mists of Pandaria.
Faction-transferring pandaren doesn't seem like it will be a huge issue at all.
Uredus asked:
I've spent twelve hours hunting eggs in Kharanos this week - and I was unaware that they can spawn inside the cauldron.
Son of a voidwalker...
Back when I had my Alliance last year, I read something online that told me to look in the cauldrons. No one else did.
If you're Horde and hunting in Mulgore, eggs can spawn in the street light totems' mouths. That's our version of the cauldron. Hoo boy, do I feel dumb.
M2 asked:
Is 64 bit still broke or not? Any news about it?
From what I've heard, the 64-bit client is running fairly smoothly at this point. The newest version of the 64-bit client did indeed get patched up to the most recent patch, and for a while, they thought that it was just going to be broken. However, the client released with the update and fixes and is going strong.
pst.falco asked:
Its neccesary to all healers have:
AOE, fast expensive, slow powerful, hot heal?
One thing i dislike from cata healing was that in someway all healers could do everything. Yeah, still a paladin is good for tanks, but can do good (overpowered?) AOE now. Druid use to be, a constant heal raid wide or for tank.
Probably the boringess is not feeling special from other healers?
Healing, next to tanking, is probably the most varied type of role across the classes that can accomplish or fill it. While each healing class does have the basic kit as you described above, the amount of customization and playstyle differences between each healing class are profound. Honestly, after a decent amount of the healing changes went in, my preference completely changed back to paladin healing over shaman healing as a direct result of Cataclysm's changes. The playstyle and flavor is very important to healers, and I think the game still strikes a good balance.
ArliSunblade1 asked:
I keep seeing the line "...open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria"; does this mean they are going to replace the Stormwind city guard NPCs with something less super-human? Only allowing them to shoot line of sight would be a start, or better still, confiscate their bows and make a Pandarianesque bamboo curtain around the royal gardens.
No. The line about bringing open warfare back between the Horde and Alliance is in reference to the story, locations, and content, with many gameplay implications. Blizzard does not, however, want to make raiding the other capital city something trivial that just a handful of people can accomplish.
FayeDancingTree asked:
What's the best random act of kindness you've experienced in game, either from a friend, guildie, or complete stranger? I absolutely love these stories, and I figure it would be a nice thing to talk about, especially with all the beta related rage going on. ;)
For my birthday one year, after successfully completing A Tribute to Insanity (10 player) for the first time, my 10-man raiding group got me a Black Drake as a gift. I was stupidly excited.
