Dissapointed with Cataclysm

[Mokoi]

you haven't even played it yet.

garbage thread. recyclysm? yeah - they should totally add another continent or world outside of the main map so we can have 4 abandoned, ghost continents

I played the old world. Since day 1.

I was a little disappointed when Naxx came out, because we finished that, at lvl 60 and it really didn't change, at all. I understand that most of the community wasn't able to do that, so that's fine.

This expansion in no respect warrants the same excitement we had about BC or WotLK is all I'm saying. Remember when you saw the first BlizzCon photos and leaked info on these xpacs? I was excited, like a little girl on xmas. Now, I am seeing a disappointing add-on to a game and not a true expansion. I hope there is more info to come, because so far I feel underwhelmed.

So how will they handle the phasing for the world changes with regards to going back to do low-level quests for faction with capital cities or nostalgia items? An interesting theory. (And yeah, I know you can turn in shitloads of cloth or do BGs or <insert alternate faction method here>. Not my point. Thanks for playing. Please drive through.)

I dont understand... were still getting new zones right? Theyre just revamping the old ones for the 1-60 experience eh?

Or am I misunderstanding?

you haven't played it yet

Excitement of anticipation is a feeling I have before I experience it firsthand. I'm not saying it IS a bad expansion, im saying it doesn't LOOK exciting.

This is not an opinion, this is my true feelings and as such are not subject to YOUR beliefs, I didn't post my thoughts here to reflect how YOU feel about the game, so please don't assume I did.

I find it (so far) lackluster and I haven't seen anything yet that makes me want to buy it. The changes to the game for BC were monumental and probably not replicable for WoW. The changes in WotLK were also big, and there was a great deal of anticipation when it was announced, I do not see this level of excitement in the forums and within the players I associate with on my servers and in my life.

My feelings. Not yours. you feel free to post what YOU feel, and stop telling me that because my interpretations don't line up with yours that either of us are wrong. This is not Belfast and we are not talking about Jesus.

I think you need to calm down. You're welcome to your opinion.

If you post nonsense people will shout you down. Welcome to the forums.

Excitement and anticipation are not linked with touching, experiencing and playing the game. Please do not mistake my disappointment as giving up on it, but I am NOT excited about this expansion to the degree I am for the other 2.

You do know there are 7 new zones and lich king only had 7, so I guess they could lump those 7 new zones in a continent off Azeroth and then you would get excited?

You know I got to thinking about this. Going back to the old stuff is pretty smart of blizzard. Look at a zone like the barrens. It's a HUGE zone and there's what maybe 10 people in it and 5 of them are me =p. By changing zone's like barrens they are basically cutting the fat so to speak. You don't need that huge zone for 10 people. So cut it in half and make the other half high lvl and now it's not just sitting there anymore.

Not entirely sure how they handle servers but I'm pretty sure BC and Wotlk are on there own servers. So basically they are running all that hardware for zones that really never get used.

The nature of any converstaion is to allow multiple individuals to express their view points on any given subject. By making such statements in a forum whose purpose is to encourage discussion, you allow others to make positive or negative statements relating to your original suposition. Given that your original post didn't involve a mere communication of your feelings, but instead made claims to "they should call this expansion Recyclysm" and "I don't see how this is going to be a succeswsful expansion for WoW", you haven't simply invited others to share their feelings on the subject, but have instigated a duo of confrontational claims that engender others to refute them. Chief among those counter-arguments being "You haven't played it yet".

Now, indeed, no one can tell you how you should feel, but in begining a discussion on said feelings, you have opened yourself to comment and speculation that the exposure to the simtuli that evoked those feelings may not have been as up to standard as one would expect of someone to make said original claims.

[Mokoi]

nvm this is a useless argument. You're right, I'm wrong.

I'm just not excited about this xpansion. Seems cheap and tossed together from all angles.
