Blizzard Previews Kun-Lai Summit

[Talolan]

You’ve learned about the sprawling Jade Forest, the sun-soaked plain of the Valley of the Four Winds and the inhospitable jungle of Krasarang Wilds. Now we explore the majesty of the Kun-Lai Summit. We recently sat down with Dave ‘Fargo’ Kosak, World of Warcraft’s Lead Quest Designer, to talk about this new location.

was fun place to quest in the beta

Kun-Lai is the largest zone in MoP I believe. You start by saving a village, and then you recruit Pandaran to your faction (alliance/horde), and build a new village with them. AFter that you'll get directed to 4 different quest hubs that spread out across the zone. I've done 1 of the four. But after doing that 1, I found 2 more "off the beaten path" hubs.

I'm not done with this zone yet. So I can't say more.

Finished this zone now. Its changed slightly since the beta.

There is a chain of 4-5 quest hubs in this zone that are completely separate from the main storyline. Most of it has to do with the Grummles being attacked and abducted by Hozen. It was pretty fun. And the final "event" of that chain is very fun.

The highlight of the main storyline is the section involving Lorewalker Cho, your constant guide. Not spoiling anything but the Zandalari (the oldest most powerful tribe of trolls) have united with the Mogu in their quest to retake Pandaria. If you go back to patch 4.1, the Zandalari reunited the Troll tribes in the upgraded Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub. With the Zandalari in Mists, I saw Gurubashi (Zul'Gurub), Amani (Zul'Aman), Drakkari (Zul'Drak) and Frakkari (Zul'Farak) trolls.
