The face looks super cartoony in the red-panda image they released, mostly due to the haircut and the eyes. I think it looks considerably better in the second image.

They are a gazillion times better than female worgen, that's all I really care about. Well, and they're not weirdly skinny to the point where you wonder if they're even the same fucking race as the males. I care about that too.

http://www.fluffyfrenchy.com/?p=73A lot of you keep asking, let’s try to answer.
The Mists of Pandaria Beta is “soon” as far as I know. I don’t mean “probably in a month” soon. I mean that if Blizzard is still following their original plan, you will most likely see it this week. If it’s not this week, it will be the next one. I don’t think any Friends & Family Alpha will be involved this time, however, Blizzard employees are still able to invite people as far as I know.
Stay fluffy. It would certainly explain why bnet has been dying all day yesterday and they're having a real maintenance today in EU. Or it could be diablo stuff :)

As a matter of fact I swallowed one of these about two hours ago and the explanation is that it is, in fact, my hand.

At least the female pandas don't have ridiculously enormous breasts, impossibly tiny waists or built-in high heels!

I know, right. I remember when Diablo III was soon, about three years ago.

I was more shocked when people were saying there wouldn't be an item flattening/ reset. That's not their previous MO or the way you appeal to casual folks.

Yeah, I thought GC wrote a fancy blog a month or two ago talking about flattening the numbers a bit?

The Yogscast have got into the beta, naturally. Here's some nice footage of the starting area, the Pandaren animations and two brit's gaming incompetance. Don't worry about spoilers, there's nothing you wouldn't expect.

Wasn't BC -> WotLK the biggest hardcore->casual transition so far? People in sunwell epics entered naxx without redoing their items (or so I've been told). No flattening this expansion, luckton. GC confirmed it in the media blitz thing, maybe for 6.0 or 7.0 "if there's demand".

Those people did it with one or two pieces from Sunwell, not the majority of their gear. Those pieces that weren't replaced were because nothing had dropped or the slot wasn't itemized well, not because of a lack of gear reset.
Let's not forget that early WOTLK people were wearing greens and non-heroic blues into Naxx instead of the ilevel 200 gear because of some shitty itemization. Regardless of that, Sunwell gear was only ilevel 164 so even a shitty green was still better in most cases.

I can now confirm this is correct. And as a result almost all the female pandas I have seen so far are red pandas. Dude pandas do not get that option, I think I will suggest RED PANDAS FOR DUDES TOO DAMMIT. Now I am going to make a beautiful blood elf man monk.

Male pandas seem to have better animations overall so their loss. The sleep animation is

I haven't really looked at all the lady panda animations but my lady panda rogue's combat animations do not fill me with rage, nor does her run, and those are the most important ones. :P
EDIT: Ah, lady panda does not even HAVE a sleep animation yet. Well whatever!

It looked like they did, it just wasn't very interesting. Both are at ~5:20 in the video Mattemeo posted above.
Edit: Ah, they have one but it's incomplete.

They used /lie specifically. I don't know what kind of person would type /lie instead of /sleep, but whatever.

The difference is ... Are you ready? Your eyes will close (well, maybe not if you're a lady troll  ) if you do /sleep instead of /lie. Madness! EDIT: Also, oh my God do they need to update the older models. So bad.

They're working on it. Also: Demo warlocks can be tanks now. Also 2: Blizzard forgot to put the bikini onto female pandaren.

It's how they are going to attract a new player base.
Demo warlocks tanking is like, my idea from 5 years ago.
