Notable Differences Between Cataclsym Classic 4.4.0 and Original Cataclysm 4.0.3a

Wrong. That was barely its original purpose. Add it back.

This really sounds like Reforge all over again :^(

Arbitrarily taking out Void Storage without any announcement until just before prepatch despite Void Storage being for far more than transmog? Nice one Blizz.

Is the part about Void Storage a very late April Fool’s joke?

Legitimately… pathetic. You should feel bad about this release. You are doing progression players dirty.

You probably should rethink this.

Even in Retail, Void Storage is still very useful to clear our banks by putting old armor (such as T3) and other weapons we don’t want to get rid of but don’t want taking up space in our Banks and Bags.

“Notable differences” lol. You guys really take us for idiots.

This is not “notable differences”. You clearly ignored Cata in favour of SoD and now you scrap features because you don’t have enough time. You can’t fool us.

I’m sure the real reason is “we can’t get any of this stuff working but we need to release the game now for monetary/quarterly reasons”. Given how their prior posts about Cata have information that is just flat out wrong and claiming things that were never added/removed from Cata to begin with, it seems classic is being run by a skeleton crew of interns that forward blue posts like these to more senior devs.

Why would you delay hunter pet changes? Did anyone even ask for that?

Why are you just going dead silent for ages and dropping significant changes without even gauging the community? There’s not a single beneficial change for any of the removals in this post. All you did was remove void storage, leave hunter pets in WoTLK state, and kill guild leveling and the the most powerful perks with zero replacements.

I think the real reason is because of a bug they can’t solve on the beta. This is just a band-aid fix they are going for

Crazy idea maybe push back the release till it’s fix?

And release Cata properly? With an actual pre patch event (Elemental Unrest)

but yet fire mage is still a gutted spec. Ignite and Combustion dont interact. Flame orb doesnt stop at a target and keeps floating making the lvl 81 ability useless. Delay the prepatch and fix the game

This is just sad honestly. Why was this rushed out exactly?

It seems they’ve got some speed runners on the dev team. This is what happens with “GO GO GO mentality” gets applied to game development. Sad the state of the game to come. Shame on those in charge. I feel bad for the developers.

EDIT: Also its blatantly obvious to everyone that you intentionally withheld this information until the day before the prepatch so that you could weasel your way into “just making it go live on time”.

What is the harm to wait to fix these issues. Why make people who hate Cata hate it even more? You have the ability to pause the pre patch. Isn’t that a better choice than releasing this buggy and unfinished patch?

Void storage being removed… how is it that in tbc, wotlk, and now cata you managed to take out the specific system i was most excited about… people are not gonna be saying cata killed the game after cata classic, they are going to be saying the dev team killed it this time.

Can we take a moment to discuss the fact that for the entirety of Wrath Classic hunters have been using an ability called “Call Stabled Pet” which has a 5 minute CD and can be used out of combat anywhere the hunter is located to swap pets? It’s a little bit gaslighting to tell us that we have spent all this time going back to a stablemaster to swap pets.

Removal of core features of the expansion feels bad. Guild Levels were a big part of how Cataclysm felt and I liked the system a lot.

Having no void storage is a bad decision as well, it stores a lot more than just transmog for many players.
