Many small things.
# Jul 27 2010 at 7:53 PM Rating: Decent
I'm looking forward to a lot of stuff. Revamped zones will be nice for a change. Many zones are kinda messy today, so i hope that will get fixed.

Condensed talent trees, and not having to visit a trainer to get a new rank of an ability. Neat.

Bear druids getting another button to press -- win.

Lots of small stuff.


But i really look forward to a gear reset, getting to re-explore the classes, and to avoid doing 25 mans while still getting the same ilvl loot.
The feedback makes it better

I'd love the chance to be in the beta because I've never been in wow beta since vanilla. I want the chance to send good feedback to blizzard about feral druids, holy priests, mages,. I'm dieing for the chance to test the goblin starter zone out, and fly around the world, from Orgrimmar to the bay. The guild talent system makes me cream myself mass res who wouldn't be exited about that!
I cannot wait

the thing i am most excited about is making a goblin they have been in the game along time im glad we can finally be them in cata... and level in the new areas
cataclysm
# Jul 27 2010 at 7:05 PM Rating: Decent
What am I looking forward to the most is not so easy. In fact i am looking forward to 3 things the most.

1. The return of fury warriors using one hand weapons. I leveled my first toon, in wow over 5 years ago and i miss using things like first weapons and one handed weapons.

2. I am loving the idea of playing a worgen as fury warrior. It sound so damn cool and awesome, fast and dangerous

3. Last but not least the new talents for the deathknights. Blood tanking will be the best and frost dps will be unstoppable.

beta key zomg!
# Jul 27 2010 at 6:33 PM Rating: Decent
to start off. I have an 80 of every class, a few doubles of some classes at 80. I play on a handful of different servers. all my 80's have epic flying/dual specs, 95% of them bought when there was no discount.

What I am most looking forward to with cata, I am itching to use the new talent trees and relearn some class mechanics.

quick edit: smaller things I am looking forward to. flying in the old world. the new zone structures. the new leveling system. and of course, worgen/goblin staring zones.

I can't wait for the change up of the original areas. Not to mention the ability to fly anywhere I want. It will be such a breath of fresh air to have a new place to grind up all my alts, not to mention the expanded selection of race/class combinations!

I'm most excited about the changing zones. I haven't quested through all of them as horde, and I haven't done much questing past 20 as alliance (I started about 6 months before Wrath came out, and a Blood elves were my favorites for looks, besides night elves). However, I do rather like the themes shown so far. Also another thing I'm looking forward to are the new Instances and Raids! I hope they have new and innovative ways to force people to think, as it seems now, at least in pugs, that people have a hard time not standing in fire (I can only imagine they have their graphics turned down so low they can't see it. I tried that and it does indeed make it VERY difficult to see fire, so I turned that one back up ^_^).

Me I would just love to get one as I have no life and don't have much to do, that is about it :P, but on side note I want to see just what they have done to holy pallys
Cataclysm is gonna be awsome!
# Jul 27 2010 at 5:59 PM Rating: Decent
I cant wait to fly around in Azeroth and make a Worgen character. Cataclysm is gonna be the best expansion out ever. It's gonna change WoW as we know it.
Cata beta
# Jul 27 2010 at 5:58 PM Rating: Decent
First I thought why would i want a beta key? When you can play wow in a few months , but when i saw the warrior talents i suddenly popped my berserker rage and started rampaging :p . Maybe I'm wrong but I wouldn't know untill I tested it . I would love to see the worgen in action because ever since I was lvl 20 I wanted to know what was behind the greymane wall.(at lvl 80 I saw that the only thing behind the wall was a small area with messed up texture). But now I've been told the gilneans have been cursed with the worgen curse and i would love to see the lore behind it all. I am less excited about the goblins but still I wouldnt mind giving them a try.
However i am excited about the the graphics ,the new phasing improvements and the drastic changes to the environment. if I could see what the changes are I would be able to take a last look at our current WoW . Because nothing is gonna be the same afterwards. I hope I'll be able to see some problems in the beta , so that I contributed something to my fellow players. WoW is easy enough as it is I don't want it to become dull and boring :).
Thats all Folks!
excited for
# Jul 27 2010 at 5:57 PM Rating: Decent
Well, I for one am excited for 5 additional levels and the new path of the titans being introduced. I am also excited for the devastation being brought upon Azeroth which is in itself AWESOME! I would like to say also that I am excited for the new Worgen race as I will most definitely be playing one. I am also excited for the Worgen's mount, or at least the concept art I've seen of their mount. THEY LOOK WICKED! I'm also excited for all the new raids I'm going to be able to tank in, woot! <3 tanking! I'm pretty much excited for everything about this game expansion. :D

Hunters becoming ranged rogues with a pet... yeah that is my favorite part of Cataclysm. No more running out of mana and than losing dps versus classes that use rage,energy, runic power,etc.. I know we maintain the same spells and such, but the new reworking of BM is good 2.

--Thank you :)

I am excited for Cataclysm because of the mass changes to Azeroth. The lore is going to be sweet, and I also want Garrosh to get what he deserves. I've always wanted to play worgen since I saw them on my first character in Darkshire. Goblins look pretty sweet too. I had always wondered when they would make these races playable.

Although all of the additions made in Cataclysm look fantastic, the changes to the talent trees and my favorite class, the paladin, are definitely my favorites. The redone talents look great, with Blizzard "trimming" the boring talents to make way for the new and interesting talents. In addition, the Cataclysm paladin class seems extremely interesting, mostly because of the new "Holy Power." I have played only one character since the first days of World of Warcraft, and that is my extremely beloved paladin. All of that time, I have never felt fully challenged, even though I am deeply in love with my paladin. This new "Holy Power" brings some interesting new abilities to the table, along with making the class more challenging. In general, the new talents and redesigned paladin class make me the most excited, because it seems to me like I will be having a load of fun with it.
Many things to talk about
# Jul 27 2010 at 5:39 PM Rating: Decent

Very interested in cataclysm!
# Jul 27 2010 at 5:32 PM Rating: Decent
The thing i am looking forward to most is the gameplay of the new races. I want to see the new leveling areas for the goblins do all of their quests and see what the worgens gameplay will be like . Also i have been wanting to see the echo ilses for the trolls new area for lving since they took it back in patch 3.3.5. Another reason is i have been playing since back in vanilla since they are changing the areas that they made all the way back then. I'm also interested in seeing how lving in mt. hyjal and the abyssal depths will be like. My main is a hunter and i've been very excited that they will no longer be needing mana but focus making it better i think for them in raids and pvp. Since they no longer need to worry about maintaining mana although they will have to think about how to distribute their abilities just like rogues. I've also been wanting to make a shaman because they now can have dual weild at lv 10 when they go enhancement spec. Also I'm excited that they give shaman a melee attack at a low lv so they can use more then just 3 spells. I also have a tankadin and i'm interested in what i've seen if the talents will effect them. If they will be squishier or if they stay as awesome as they are now.

Of course, I'm looking forward to rated battlegrounds the most. I'm going to dominate everyone on my rogue, yes I am. As far as the other content, I'm super excited about being about to use my flying mount everywhere to own noobs all day every day. Don't pick me though, I don't deserve to win because all I do is own noobs all day everyday.
