Cataclysm Classic Launch Notes - Updated June 4

[Tablespoon-wild-growth]

I do like all of these changes, but not allowing valor points the first monday night really sucks because I took tuesday off of work so I could powerlevel and do just that lol

[Boraah-benediction]

I also disagree with no world boss spawns on launch. Once the heroic versions of T11 die they have no use except as pre-raid bis. T11 normal drops 359. I’d like to relive the world boss days of classic era.

[Ktitan-whitemane]

Why delay the 5 unique epic items from world bosses? This is the first progressive itemization we’ve seen in classic and its on these 5 specific unique items. To what end?

[Neoxide-atiesh]

Do you still need your vanilla rank/RBG rank to transmog the old pvp gear or not? Because if not, you just killed rated BGs.

[Tablespoon-wild-growth]

That’s not entirely true, there were a bunch of items added to level 60 dungeons in phase 5 or 6 of Classic that weren’t there beforehand that were all really good prebis items.

Fix our professions. This thread has nearly 300 replies and you’re still selling boosts that brick your character’s professions (making them unplayable) and have said NOTHING about it.

[CATA] Professions showing 0/0 after boost

Boosted one my characters that had 375+ Engineering and Tailoring, but it is showing 0/0 as my current skill level for each profession. I still have all the patterns and recipes, and am able to craft them. However, I am unable to train new skills or get the benefit from lightwave embroidery. Let me know if there is a fix. Id rather not have to re-level my professions…

Fix our quests.

[Cata] Questline “Never Again!” not available to horde

This is a copy of the EU thread (https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/questline-never-again-not-available-to-horde/510522). I am reposting it here to get more eyes on it. I am holding off on buying 7 faction changes due to this quest being bugged on Horde side. For horde players it’s currently impossible to begin the questline that ends with “Never Again!”. An item called “Diabolical Plans” that starts the quest is supposed to be on the loot table for certain demons in Ashenvale which it sa…

Fix the TOGC dailies.

[Cataclysm] "Exalted Argent Champion of the Alliance" achievement is bugged, daily unlock is not account-wide

The “Exalted Argent Champion of the Alliance” achievement is bugged, as reward it should unlock the Argent Tournament dailies and the vendors on all alliance characters. WoWHead says only that you’ll get the Crusader title but the in-game description is: “Title Reward: Crusader. Unlocks Crusader dailies at the Argent Tournament.” (The Title reward works but the daily quest unlock is bugged.)

You’ve already taken our money, now give us what we paid for.

[Disenraged-malganis]

It’s bad grammar due to how they structured the sentences.

Valor will be obtainable following the reset on 5/21
Conquest will be obtainable following the reset on 5/28

Basically they’re just stopping people degenerating day one and having a massive advantage by valor capping. 1600x3= 4800, which is 400 valor over what’s required to get 2 piece.

[Ktitan-whitemane]

adding new items is not the same thing as changing the stats on items

[Tawnos-mannoroth]

still no transmog for warglaives tho?

[Ravenblade-living-flame]

Who cares about any of this stuff when glaives still cannot be transmogged!?

[Vlestat-whitemane]

So does that mean all warlord/high warlord gear will be transmogable regardless if you originally got the rank/title? Because if so that’s kinda messed up to all the people who grinded for rank 13/14

[Whitco-grobbulus]

Please add Glyph of the Stars. So many Druids would appreciate this now that Tmog is in the game. Would be so much appreciated

In Cataclysm Classic, 2v2 and 5v5 will no longer be eligible brackets for earning Gladiator titles or rewards. In the 2v2 and 5v5 brackets, you will be able to earn non-Gladiator titles and Conquest.

i get why these had to go, but i think killing these brackets is kinda lame

maybe no rank 1 titles for these brackets instead? feel like everyone loved 2s(even tho they were trash) because of the accessibility, finding 3s in cata is gonna be brutal

[Bigslappy-benediction]

no 2s titles? way to kill arena for last 300 good players left lmao

soo… SoD dead, Cata dead, retail dead.

GGWP, it’s officially over.

PvP Availability and Rewards

In Cataclysm Classic PvP, the weekly caps for Valor and the seasonal cap for Conquest have been increased by roughly 60%. The rewards granted for certain activities have been adjusted:

• The weekly cap for Valor is now 1600.
• The initial cap for Conquest Points is now 4000 and increases by 4000 every week throughout the season.
• The Random Cataclysm Heroic reward is 240 Valor Points.

Please note: Valor will not be earnable between the launch of Cataclysm and the first weekly reset in each region. Conquest will become available starting with the second weekly reset on May 28, with the launch of the first Cataclysm PvP season.

In Cataclysm Classic, 2v2 and 5v5 will no longer be eligible brackets for earning Gladiator titles or rewards. In the 2v2 and 5v5 brackets, you will be able to earn non-Gladiator titles and Conquest.

Thank you for these changes!

[Beastaftv-faerlina]

@Resist-benediction

Can you get 2200 weapons/tabards/elite gear from 2s or no? Kind of vague wording.

Think that falls under rewards, no ?

[Jotamarioqt-benediction]

Why are you killing 2’s bracket??? ong lame changes

[Alwaysx-benediction]

yes bro i agree

[Lockdotcomxo-benediction]

ikr 2s are better bracket

[Bestcatamage-benediction]

Yeah, its so bad for the game, how blizzard is killing cata, sad.
