World Of Warcraft: IGN's patch review and Tauren's Plains Running

IGN wrote up an article on the new patch, it covers the talent system for the most part, the author raves about the depth the talent system adds to the game several times. Here's an excerpt...

We're looking forward to seeing the talents for the other classes, as it really seems to add some depth and fun into the game.

A beta tester also posted a great topic on Tauren Plains Running on the beta forums. It seems that if you are attacked by any critter when Plains Running you are stopped, and the only way to continue to Plains Run is to get out of combat! The beta tester was wondering if this was a bug or not, as this is specific to the Tauren. In other words, The other races do not stop if attacked while on their mounts. Naturally, this is a huge disadvantage for Tauren in both the PvP and PvE environment, Kat had this to say...

This is not a bug and is currently working as intended. Tauren use their Plains Running ability any time they run, which is a huge advantage over a normal mount (Tauren can also use Plains Running indoors, where mounts can not be summoned). With any advantage, a disadvantage may exist. In this case, the disadvantage is that getting hit will take a Tauren out of Plains Running until combat ends. All in all, the advantages outweigh this one disadvantage.
