They were created by the mogu as soldiers, but now live as nomads just causing havoc. As to how they got on to the Wandering Isle, no one knows. The quest text just calls him "deep horrors from the sea's depths", though considering at one point faceless ones were supposed to be what attacked the isle I think that text might just be left over.

It looks like the Warlock's tier helm's mouth will move. Look between the pictures (especially compare each shot's other color versions) and you'll see it looks different in some of them. Some its almost closed, others its wide open.
Yup, definitely moving in some capacity. Man, that's the kind of thing I'd have expected for an Old God theme, but it definitely makes the Sha that much more menacing...good stuff.

It certainly has character, that's for sure, heh. And really fitting for them, I think. Though I've seen some complaining about how Blizzard isn't going with a zodiac theme for warlocks like they did with paladins and priests. Can't please everyone, of course.

Also, some changes:

Quote:
Stormlash Totem: New. Summons a Stormlash Totem with 5 health at the feet of the caster, empowering allies within 30 yards with lightning. While empowered, allies' spells and attacks will trigger bursts of electricity, dealing additional Nature damage to their target. Lasts 10 sec. 5% of base mana, 5 min cooldown, Instant.
I like. Seems like a nice burst buff.

Quote:
Glyph of Winged Vengeance: Your Avenging Wrath depicts 4 wings.
So imagine a paladin with that challenge gear. Eight wings!

Am I the only one who gets a White Power Ranger from the paladin tier?

Okay, I just need to roll a paladin, get this and that Onyx panther mount and I will finally be able to be a Power Ranger.
Nope.

Hmm, the Ring of Valor is listed as a zone, specifically not an arena and as Horde Territory. Maybe Orgrimmar is getting some updates?

http://mop.wowhead.com/zone=6298

Also, Heart of Fear has some hilarious placeholder text. Sha of Naps...

Yup, you are. I see the cat ears, large fangs in the curve on the helmet, the usual excessive pauldrons, and the overall generic feel of yet another unappealing Paladin set. There's subtlety and then there's "I can't tell the difference between tiers without the pauldrons breathing fire at me." If your helmet looks like it belongs in a JRPG and your shoulders cover more of your body than a shield, it just looks gaudy. The sad part is, for once they made the other pieces on the armor look decent if not distinctive. All the jazz of the shoulders takes away from the rest of it.

The patch is now on the downloader.

I also had to agree to a pre release user agreement.

From MMO-Champion.

-There is now a "Black Market Auction House".

-The Ring of Valor might be a scenario, LFD lists "Hellscream Arena" under scenarios.

-The "Varian Gets Punched" spell seems to involve Aysa and Jojo.

The Varian Gets Punched thing is for the Pandaren Alliance intro where you hit Varian after he asks you to fight him.

Black Market Auction House: Speculation time!

A real-money AH.

A second neutral AH, or they're renaming the goblin one.

A remote way of accessing the AH.

What do you guys think? I am going with the remote way of accessing the AH.

What'd the agreement entail?

Black market AH may just be a new name for the neutral one, I suppose.

Also I dearly hope that loot list for SM/Scholomance is incomplete because to bring SM back and not have an updated Illusionary Rod? Sadness.

edit: Looking through added items, I do see an int staff from SM, so yay!

Varian getting punched is for the Alliance Pandaren after he asks them to fight him for fun.

I'm thinking the black market will probably either be a neutral AH or a real money AH.

Basically the same exact thing as the normal ToS except it says Beta and tells you there will be bugs.

Ok, so I just used WoWHead's model viewer to look at the warlock tier 14 on a male worgen.

...if anything its creepier, with how the muzzle pushes the mouth forward.

I love it.

For some very odd reason I don't like the choice of non-compound eyes on Mantids. Just makes me think I'm going to be hacking away at some cute Pixar character. The overall model though is gorgeous, especially the proper use of segmentation. Makes it so much creepier in its more realistic nature.

IIRC, mantis don't have compound eyes irl. Which is why they probably don't use compound eyes in-game.

But, I'm all for screw reality!

I was about to click on that when I remembered that you're right and that their eyes scare the hell out of me...

I do think the eyes on the mantids look odd though.

And so Pandaria's open, eh? Looking forward to seeing more of it. And hopefully we see a new wave of invites soon.

They have compound eyes; the coloration and glossy sheen just doesn't always make it readily apparent.

You can even be the White Ranger with the Tiger zord.
