Releasing Cataclysm too soon?

This is just a general feeling that I’ve had ever since Blizzard starting releasing expansions. I wish Blizzard would stop releasing new content and just let the players enjoy what’s already there. Many of us have lives outside of WoW and the constant change makes it difficult for us to keep up with the game. At the same time, we feel we’re missing out if we don’t participate in the new expansions.

In my opinion, WotLK was an outstanding expansion and Blizzard is jumping into Cataclysm far too soon. I needed an outlet to voice my opinion. Feedback is welcome.

How is this my problem?

It has had the same lifespan as it did originally :man_facepalming:

I felt naxx dragged on a bit too long, Ulduar was a tad too long, and to my surprise, ToC ended refreshingly early. I didnt expect ICC until late november tbh. I was sure that blizzcon would announce the PTR to ICC.

Not soon enough :joy:

Maybe overall, but Naxx and Ulduar were long and ICC is shorter. ICC was over a year on original release.

I agree with OP in general, but I think Cata release will be just about right. I am curious when RS will be released.

Players 2010 - Present: Blizz release expansions faster!!! We don’t want to be stuck raiding ICC/DS/SoO/HFC/Antorus/Ny’alotha/Sepulcher for a whole entire year!!!

Classic Players 2019 - Present: Blizz this phase is lasting TOO long!! My guild completed this raid week 7 and we’re done! Next phase NOW!!

Players since 6 days ago: omg wow ICC isn’t going to last over a year this time? Blizz is releasing content too quick!! Nobody asked for this!!

There is no such thing as the perfect time for Cata… The time you’re given is the time you’re allowed… That is all you need worry about.

It does say that. People are responding to when they said “first half of 2024”, and that date is clearly in the second half.

That date is for legal reasons and they’ve put similar dates on every expansion/classic expansion release for years now. Blizz stated Cata is targeted to be released in the first half of 2024, so we’re getting at the very least the pre-patch before June.

Its coming somewhere around spring ‘24. This is a very normal timeframe. 6-7 months is not too long and not too short.

OP … while I agree with your message, you know Blizzard can track forum sock puppets … right?

It’s unfortunate Blizz hasn’t implemented realID or locked everyone to one toon like all the other blizzard forums … but here we are. :unamused:

TBC classic was way too short. They cut one season by like 6 weeks or more. I think it was S3

As for Wrath, Ulduar phase really dragged on imo. Also the #somechanges to incentivize running Naxx and Uld, after their normal lifespan, really burnt out pve’ers imo

i agree. i would be curious to check out your “classic char”. You seem to have nearly limitless free time, so I know your classic main can’t just be one dk with 6 naxx runs and no other pve or pvp for the entire expansion

could care less about knowing peoples’ rl names though, that sounds weird

Caught me bro … damn. Too bad I’m a multimillionaire living in Beverly Hills with three different women every night and a body builder IRL. The internet is awesome.

Sad you feel the need to rotate different toons on a public forum. Forum dysphoria?

Your reading comprehension is really lacking. Maybe you missed the part where I said locking people to one character like they do their other games?

Why do you live with a body builder?

Why not?

Just wondering. It’s not something you usually see. How many times a week do you hear “do you even lift bro”?
