  • Cataclysm, the new expansion of Classic WoW is here and the prepatch released about a week ago, however, it experienced a very rocky start with a tons of bugs and a rushed Beta test. Today we're gonna explore the reasons why and try to see what Blizzard might be thinking about when they're releasing content this fast.

      I got a feeling it was supposed to come out in Firelands patch (War of the Elements?). FL was a pretty small/short raid esp in comparison to all the raid content in 4.0 or even say Ulduar.

    Idk, I think the short timeline is going to be a trainwreck. There's so much good content here, and they're going to fly through it with a patch every 2-3 months and be done by next spring. It's a huge disappointment to see, in my opinion, ine of the best expansions get this treatment. If it wasn't for how rushed and low quality dragon soul was, it would've easily been in the top 5 expansions. Bastion of Twilight, Blackwing's Descent, Firelands, 3 incredible raiding experiences! Throne of the four winds was...ok, kinda short, but fun. The dungeons were the real shining star for cata, they actually required people to be good at their class and use their abilities. I look forward to hard heroics again!

      I still stand by Wrath being the best expansion, because I think it was and even in Classic it was the most anticipated Expansion. Cata is where retail was born, while someone in the comments noted it is where Conent got hard, really a lot of H LK was the start of wow getting hard.

      @@concernedcitizen2031 anyone who says Cata was retail, is delusional and trying to hate on the expansion but cant think of anything logical to hate so they cry "retail" which most empty headed wow players will just nod in agreement because its fashionable to hate retail. Legion and beyond is where the modern wow was created, with every subsequent expansion essentially remaking the Legion model with very poor results simply because of how well Legion was received as a whole. Cata is more classic than modern, it still holds onto the old ideology of classic with some minor tweaks but modern it is not. Stop mindlessly hating.

      They hate it because someone told them to do so and they are rushing it because we will going to catch up to retail or will be able to transfer there probably. This is the great reset in WoW people like asmongold talk about prolly. Cata is literally peak WoW where playing the game actually feels nice with all these QoL changes and only 40 year old balding, slow reddit dads doesn't agree with this who treat WoTLK like its their teen girlfriend on a toxic relationship or something.

      I’m really enjoying how it feels like a nice balance between Retail and Classic. I think the problem is Cata was ahead of its time and is more suited for WoW players of today than the players of Original Cata
      The best part is that MoP won’t be too far after so that’s 2 great PVP Expansions back to back. Cata Hype, Cata Hype!

    I feel the timeline from Firelands to Dragonsoul seems too short, especially if Firelands releases at the end of October and Dragonsoul launches in early January. That could be as few as 10 or 11 weeks of Firelands. That's not a lot of time to get multiple legendary staffs for a raid. I'm really hoping we get a little longer time in Firelands before Dragonsoul drops.

      It's plenty of time, on Pservers we were completeting atleast 2 staffs per raid team with additional staffs in 10m (which is faster for certain stages so we will likely see players who want teh staff move between difficulities to collect diffrent parts) alt raids.
      You will complete atleast 2 staffs 100% before DS that i can assure u and equally many before MoP launches. That is more then enough staffs, not everyone is meant to have legendarys.

      You can never recreate the old era perfectly BUT pservers has realised that the community doesnt actually want that anymore after MANY servers like warmane and Nostalrious which were blizzlike.
      Most Pservers theese days add buffs to content in various forms, some do it more extreme then others and add mechanics all together and some just boost the numbers while some just add "dampens" (negative zone buffs, basicly imagine the ICC buff but in the oposite direction) that fade over time.
      This is actually how most Cata servers has been done.
      So your 100% right that Pservers do make changes to their liking BECAUSE their audience wants it. Blizzard will realise that eventually aswell that old content needs buffs to be entertaining long time.

    A single server would be atrocious. To be truthful Azeroth is not big enough for just one server. The sheer amount resource farming, and mobs for quests will be camped so heavily that it would almost be impossible to do. Respawn timers could be tweaked yes, but if mobs respawn too fast then players can get overwhelmed. No, it is better to have to many servers that too little. I doubt they'd add the shared mobs/nodes anytime soon as it's "not part of the experience". So one big server just won't work. Take Albion for example. It's a bloody nightmare to get anything done with their single server only.

    I feel pretty differently about the state of "Classic" in general. They want to consolidate their players as much as possible. I believe they said this in their earnings call, so they aren't going to ever have permanent versions of TBC or Wrath servers.
    I'm kinda fed up with the super toxic min/max 10 man princess runs/incursions culture that's developed in SoD, so I've been playing Cata pre-patch and I think it's great... people just need to give it a chance. The bugs are being overblown... there was some annoying stuff the first few days but it's pretty much all fixed now.
    I think and hope they just keep pumping out content for Classic Era, expansion through expansion, until Classic catches up with retail... maybe they can have them both catch up by the end of the Worldsoul Saga (maybe... that might be too fast though).
    There's really no reason to sit on content that's already been developed and gradually lose players over time, so keeping the content cadence fast and maybe upping the droprates on some loot will just highlight the good things and pass-over the bad things about most WoW expansions. Most of the bad ones were bad because of content droughts and boring gear grinds.. two very easily avoidable things on the Era Servers.

    ur "truth behind" is not even close
    there have to be a timeplan behind everything else.
    wotlk runs like 2 years but cata just for 1 year? i would bet and say theywanna do a combination with the end of season of discovery and with the end of cata classic and go a new path with classic plus.
    i realy think they will go for something like a classic gameplay/elements but go with a fullprice expansion.
    they will end everything with the classic era and try to combine the playerbase again.
    everyone of us realy like the classic world from vanilla till wotlk but we disagree with the retail mechanics. we all would love to get new fresh designed content and i bet we will get the announcement next year for an expension

    Cata always suffers from Blizzard's negligence and lack of allocated resources.
    Cata is a much better WotLK in every way, except it had 1 fewer raid tiers and now proper equivalent to 10 Man Normal Raid difficulty, sadly people will never appreciate it seems.

    Classic isnt gonna reflect anything about the original releases. I loved wotlk in 2009, but wotlk classic was pure garbage. I absolutely hated it, the minmax gdkp meta where youre expected to use €50+ worth of gold in a gdkp is just massively shitty. I played wotlk on private servers for years, knowing i.e. naxxramas 10+25 inside out, but being a couple weeks late with lvling, i was so behind on gear that getting pugs was impossible without splurging gold on shitty gear that'll be easily replaced soon anyway.
    Will cata be different? Idk, but 10 man dropping the same items as 25 man makes it easier for smaller guilds to thrive, and the SoD community i found is going cata 10 man groups, so i certainly hope my personal experience will be (even though im currently only lvl 83 hehe)

If I wanted to level these zones I’d just do it on retail. Didn’t need to kill the one good thing about classic which was the map. I got 55 and just dungeon cleaved cos the last 5 level zones suck ass

    Cata is for sure the birth of retail wow. I think it will attract a ton of players from retail that missed most of the content, also the beginning of when the games difficulty had a fairly large jump, heroic cars was bounds harder than heroic icc. I’m pretty excited about getting back into it and came back to classic for it. Will also likely put retail on the back burner where it’s been the verse with wotlk/dragon flight.
    Honestly they should stretch these expansions out, but also make a few changes, things like a mythic plus mode, mythic raid difficulty among other things would be well received at this point as the no changes crowd is too busy playing sod lmao

    They're speedrunning Cata because they know the appetite isn't there. Given the huge popularity of Classic in general, once Wrath released they started working on Cata.

    3:50 - It was really just last 2 bosses. Rest of T13 was actually pretty good.
    ICC lasted 12 months - no one bat an eye.
    DS lasted 13 months - suddenly the worst thing ever.
    4:30 - for a lot of people, my friends included, they quit during Cataclysm not because the game was bad, but because they didn't know the lore. They played it only because of WC3 and wanted to see it from a different angle. If WC3 had DW patch, Cataclysm would be considered "part of classic":. So, might even argue that WoW Wrath/TBC didn't actually capture the interest of most players.
