WoW Moviewatch: Fear and Loathing in Pandaria: The Jade Forest
Baron Soosdon is kind of a legend around here. His videos always feature incredible music and an amazing eye for mind-blowing scenery. Soosdon delivers beautiful graphics and an unmistakable experience, over and over. That's why I was more than a little excited when I saw Fear and Loathing in Pandaria: The Jade Forest. The master of machinima is tackling the beta zones with the artistic eye you would expect. Check out the video to get a gorgeous look at The Jade Forest. You won't be sorry. Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at moviewatch@wowinsider.com.
Mists of Pandaria Beta: Temple of the Jade Serpent overview
The Temple of the Jade Serpent is the first of many dungeons we'll be encountering in Mists of Pandaria, and it's currently the only one open and available on the beta servers. The dungeon is fine at level 85, and if you've managed to level through the Jade Forest and hit level 86, there's a wonderful guy at the front entrance (pictured above) who will sell you a variety of items. These include higher-level bandages, any glyphs you might be missing, and Tome of the Clear Mind, Mists of Pandaria's version of Dust of Disappearance for those level 86 or higher. If nothing else, I'd recommend popping in here just to visit Flaskataur, say hello, and purchase a few things. But that wouldn't be anywhere near as fun as running this starter dungeon. Fast, precise, and to the point, Temple of the Jade Serpent is nothing like the sheer length of Zul'Gurub, and much more like the shortened length of dungeons like Vortex Pinnacle, minus the travel time. In short, it's perfectly ... well, short!
