It will be great. It’s funny how many people say it was trash just because it’s trendy.
It followed up wow’s magnum opus but compared to other expansions it wasn’t that bad.
Some of the best raids in all of wow!
I am looking forward to it, and being a worgen mage 
I think Classic Cataclysm will be better than Classic WotLK, or at least better than Cataclysm in 2010 same goes for most classic expacs really.
There’s a whole lot of people who are going to make that claim. The greater majority are still going to play it but sit around and complain the whole time, which is exactly how retail goes. Pay attention to the names on the forum whining about cata, they will be the same ones you see all next expansion.
I’m going to bookmark my comment here so I can come back and use it over and over on the forum next expansion.
100%
everyone raid logs and cata has better raids
better class/spec refinement
better pvp
better leveling
lfd!
I mean LFD is going to be in with ICC but I guess you mean that it’s going to be in Cata from the start?
Or do you mean LFR and personally I’d rather not have LFR.
Hey, to be fair, initially I wasn’t intending on playing Wrath Classic, and I probably have spent more time playing it than any expansion to date!
I also wasn’t intending on playing HC, and I’ve got like 8 characters going.
We’ll see what happens for sure.
I don’t know if your case but retail makes it easy to stay here lol.
The most exciting thing of late was man’ari. Fun to level but that leveling leads to level cap. Ugh…lol.
I am not a member of the church of metzen. But I have read some of the brochures they give out lol. We shall see at 11.0 I reckon.
Lots of fun. Improved on many Wrath issues.
Stop following the echo chamber. Classic stopped being Classic once TBC hit
Doesn’t change the fact that TBC had around the same population as Cata and calling Cata dead or the end of WoW makes no sense. Every game in the market has a steady growth and a steady decline.
Let’s be fair - they are the same ones who complained last expansion.
Have no interest in playing past Wrath and even with Wrath I’m deadly bored out of my mind. Classic and TBC were the best xpacs by far. Idk how some people can want to do it all over again.
I never played WoW before classic and had a blast throughout. Raids felt like raids with 40 people and we had activities after raid nights (Among us was huge at the time). I enjoyed my time travelling the world collecting consumes for the raid since resources were semi rare and kinda expensive. Felt good.
I never planned to seriously go into TBC but I figured I would check it out. As expected the guild fractured with the 40 to 25 shift and the vibe shifted but it was still good. Wasn’t much to do outside raids now as most consumes were cheaper now and limited. Just kinda wandered aimlessly in TBC as there wasn’t much meaningful stuff to do.
Wrath rolled around and it’s still fun, but less so. Less to do in raid as an off-tank as trash damage is a joke and aoe threat and damage is through the roof. Consumes are essentially free since the resources are on hyper spawn and gold flows like water. The focus shift to acheivements for world content makes doing those things less special and more of a checkbox.
I’ll go into Cataclysm as well if the guild holds up, but I’m expecting the trend of less a engaging world to continue, which is was the big hook for me initially. The change to tank damage/healing sounds interesting but I’ll probably dip once my gold bought tokens run out if it doesn’t hold up.
TL:DR
Had a blast in vanilla, but TBC and Wrath is leaving me skeptical of Catas world and combat design.
I like catas PvP,raids and dungeons more than Wrath’s.
Dislike the scattered new zones and the tightened skill tree.
Yep, the loud ones on the forum spreading doom and gloom are always the last to leave. Then they always have an excuse of why they are still here. lol
Lol even if they do officially announce Cata Classic… It’s gonna be a totally different game as we have seen with Wrath… All of this speculation seems premature.
Good, improvements should be a thing.
I’m just amused by the speculation and argumentative responses without proof of anything.
Cata just improved on Wrath issues.
That part is true at least.
Cata Classic may be totally different - but this seems like premature speculation uh?
They shouldn’t do it. Classic + is the future of World of Warcraft. They should release new Classic expansions and stop making Retail ones. We always wanted WoW 2 and now we have a chance to get it with Classic +
The could do a Pre-Vanilla expansion for Classic + or maybe the Classic + Awakening leaks are true and we don’t go into the Dark portal and get new Zones, Raids, and story.
WotLK was the pinnacle of Classic WoW and no reason to do Cata. Launching a Classic + expansion that takes place instead of Cata that is fine.
