Blizzard Developer Reveals Newcomer Appeal for Mists of Pandaria


With the launch of Mists of Pandaria Blizzard is aiming to give World of Warcraft a shot in the arm, and one of the main ways of doing it is by adding more gameplay features for veteran players while also trying to attract new players.

One of the more controversial new ideas is the pet battle system, which is clearly inspired by Pokemon and seems to go against the structure of the game world.

Scott Mercer, who is a senior software engineer at Blizzard, told VG247 that, “we’re planning new content for it. We have trainers in the world, like master pet trainers that you can take your team to battle them or get quests from them, and we’re looking to expand that too. At the moment there are so many pets you can collect in the world, and that really is now such a big part of the game, and there’s still a lot of room for expansion there.”

He also detailed the appeal to newcomers, saying, “It’s so much more about experiencing much of the game, and it helps that the starting area on the Wandering Isle is much more friendly for players. The guys have done a wonderful job in giving players a lot of stuff that helps them understand the game’s core concepts.”

Both old and new players will also have more options when it comes to customizing their character, including purely cosmetic abilities that will differentiate them in the game world.

Mists of Pandaria is now out and players can get it both as a retail package and as a digital download from Battle.net.

Gamers who get it will be able to play as the new Pandaren race and as the new monk class, and there’s a whole new continent filled with raids and dungeons to explore.
