So it would seem that a lot of people got a survey asking things about Cataclysm. I think Cata most of the way around was a pretty decent expansion, most people seem to want to view it as bad because that’s when Activision bought out Blizzard and it became acti/blizz. Sure there was a drop off in player base but the thing people dont realize or honestly even think about is that most of those players left not because the game wasnt good anymore, its just simply because the story to Warcraft 3 was over. We beat kil jaeden, took down illidan, pushed back the scourge and killed the Lich King/Arthas. That was it, with the death of Arthas, Warcraft 3 was over, people didnt feel much of a need to keep playing.
I would say, if Blizzard decided to release Cataclysm Classic, I personally, and I think quite a few people would stand with me on this, would be just fine with it HOWEVER, theres gonna need to be some changes made. The first change is probably the most important and its obviously the elephant in the room that pissed off A LOT of people, and that was the zones that were changed by the Cataclysm. I believe Darkshore being destroyed hurt the most out of all the zones, at least for me it did, I used to love hanging out there. Blizzard would need to implement a feature here that is actually on retail, that would be adding Zidormi, to be able to go back in time and play in the zones BEFORE they were destroyed by the cataclysm. I think that one single change alone would make the majority of people really happy man lol.
Another change that could be done is Vashjir, I remember when it released and holy crap man, the amount of unhappy people was unreal. I dont think ANYBODY liked that zone. Ill admit, at first even I was like “oh yeah, an underwater zone??? seems kinda cool, I might like it” but then you actually get down there and its like “oh my god man, cant stand being in this place” I think for me personally it was just the way the quests were laid out, it was really slow, didnt feel like any of it meant anything, and I dont know it just wasnt fun. I’d honestly say do some work on Vashjir, maybe change up the way the questing is done or something, MAYBE release that raid tier that was supposed to release for Vashjir that got scrapped, and see how that goes.
One last thing right off the top of my head I think would just be to make the leveling experience better for people starting fresh toons. Maybe increase the experience gain by like 25% or something up to lvl 80? Just a thought, but the Leveling experience would just need to be improved a little bit.
That so far is all I got right off the top of my head, I’m pretty sure ill think of more stuff later. What do you guys think?? What are some changes that Blizz could make to Cataclysm that would make the experience better for players?? I personally loved the PvP so thats what id be the most excited for in Cataclysm anyways.
