Essentially a timed dungeon run, the challenge mode will automatically scale playersвЂ™ equipment to the proper item level of the dungeon. To encourage players to revisit older dungeons and to increase some friendly competition within a playerвЂ™s own server, Mists of Pandaria is introducing a dungeon challenge mode. In addition to the seven zones on the Pandarian continent that will take players from level 85 to 90, nine new dungeons and three new raids, and multiple end-game faction quest lines, Mists of Pandaria will also feature a number of new systems designed to appeal to end-game players. Greg Street, Lead Systems Designer, told me that one of the major priorities for Mists of Pandaria was to provide much more end-game content for players, particularly since the primary focus of Cataclysm was revamping much of the original world and the starting areas. Instead of just introducing another dungeon that brings you one step closer to defeating the вЂњultimate boss,вЂќ the patches will advance the story as the war moves from Pandaria to the mainland, culminating in a full-blown siege on Orgrimmar.

The future patches for Mists of Pandaria will be heavily story-focused, with each update being described as essentially a вЂњstory sequelвЂќ to the one before it. Mists of Pandaria begins with the Horde and Alliance both landing on the continent of Pandaria, and conflict breaks out between the two almost immediately, as each group fights to rally the Pandaren to their side as they prepare for war.

As Lead Designer Cory Stockton explained, the central story arc of Mists of Pandaria concerns the tensions between the Alliance and the Horde finally coming to a head and erupting into an all-out war.

Unlike previous expansions, Mists of Pandaria will not feature a single вЂњbig bad bossвЂќ at the end of the patch cycle. World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria tells the story of what happens when the Alliance and the Horde discover this new continent, its resources, and the people who live there. The events of Cataclysm ( World of WarcraftвЂ™s most recent update) have caused the southern continent of Pandaria to emerge from the fog that has hidden it for the last ten thousand years. World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria (PC, Mac) Last week I was invited over to Blizzard to take a look at WarcraftвЂs upcoming expansion, Mists of Pandaria, and I was able to get some playtime with the game and speak to some of the members of the development team about whatвЂ™s in store when Mists of Pandaria is released later this year. ItвЂ™s been out for a little over seven years now, but World of Warcraft is still going strong.
