Mists of Pandaria: Introducing the Fish Race

A new type of MOB introduced to world of warcraft in the expansion Mists of Pandaria is the fish people (not sure of the race name as yet). Below you can see a screenshot of Elder Lusshan the waterspeaker, in the background you can see a Worgen player and their rare lion pet posing. 

Mists of Pandaria: Improved quality of beast graphics

I am very impressed with the new models for the beasts that are found in Mists of Pandaria BETA expansion, they are much more detailed and very realistic even with me running World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria BETA in lowest quality on my Macbook Pro. 

Beasts are so much more realistic is very exciting to see them in the game itself. 

Below you can see the increased sizes of certain individual beasts, beasts which when tamed no longer reduce in size!

The below screenshot features the tiger Kung Din which you have to kill in one of the early on new quests in the new zone. 

Mists of Pandaria: Singing Cricket - Temp Model

I noticed that in Mists of Pandaria not all the critter models have been made, this is expected as the game is currently in BETA. So as a temporary measure Blizzard have used a snake model as a temporary Singing cricket model in the current BETA release of Mists of Pandaria. It is worth a mention. 

Mists of Pandaria: New speech bubbles for interactive NPCS

I discovered in Mists of Pandara BETA that certain NPC's which you can talk to now have visible speech bubbles over them and they also now clearly show up in the minimap. This is a great addition to the game, and makes it very clear who you can talk to for sections of quests etc. 

Mists of Pandaria: Blue and white boxes

Little blue and white boxes are scattered around the new isle in the BETA expansion Mists of Pandaria. I am personally not sure yet if they are part of a quest or it is an image/graphic which is not there and the chequered blue and white box is a default graphic for a missing image. Here are several images showing different locations where the little boxes are. 

Mists of Pandaria: Increase of Pet size

Remember when you tamed that massive cat which immediately shrunk to normal size once you caught it. 

Well Blizzard seem to have got the message that if its BIG it should stay BIG!

Here is a screenshot from Mists of Pandaria of my IceSaber which is now larger than before. Yes it is really that much bigger!

Mists of Pandaria: Dusk Stalker - A new type of kitty

Today I have been playing World of warcraft: Mists of Pandaria BETA new quests and came across a really cool looking new type of kitty. They are a large cat, known as Dusk Stalkers. So much realism and so much beauty enjoy the screenshots. 

Mists of Pandaria: Panda Monk Starting Area

So Mists of Pandaria BETA has not yet fully downloaded to my MacBook Pro yet but while waiting I was able to create my first character, and took a quick look at the starting area for Panda Monks. 

As you can tell from the screenshots below the area is very busy on the test server and you start in a martial arts training area. 

I have BETA access to Mists of Pandoria

I have been playing world of warcraft for over 5 years now and have purchased the Annual Pass earlier this year. Today I was happy to find a REAL email from Blizzard saying that I have been given a BETA tester position for their new and upcoming expansion pack "Mists of Pandaria".

I am currently installing the game client which will take quite a long time even with my 10mb Broadband connection as its round about 20 gb in size. 

Here are some screenshots:
