Dissapointed with Cataclysm

[Multibocks]

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.

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.

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.

What about Goblins not having a special engineering race buff. WTF is that gnomes have it and it would just make sense if the goblins had some sort of buff also. I was really hoping that one of the racials for goblins would be throwing a net like the guards in gadgetzen throw.

I think I read in a picture there is a special +15 skinning race buff they get. Talk about lame.

[Multibocks]

Skinning was worgen I thought? They can skin without a knife too!

[Lyonheart]

The phasing issue that concerns me the most is the inability of a high level leader toon to boost low level toons through the old world instances because they are no longer in the same phase.

Aside from that, I'm OK with the reuse of the old world.

They addressed this concern( at the systems panel) and said they will have a way for people to be in the same "phase" even though they might be on different parts of the quest.

[Tonuss]

Goblins get a ton of racials, and the one that guarantees that they get the best prices from vendors regardless of faction is worth more than any buff to engineering skill.

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.

Flying in the old world will be a pain in the ass with phasing. If it's anything like wotlk it could be a total pain in the ass to fly everywhere. The old world zones are not very big if your flying so I would expect phasing everywhere. It does seem like Recycleclysm. I bet every raid will be recycled again in the old world.

[Coltimar]

Blizz expressly said they aren't going to recycle all of the content. In fact, the said Onyxia was unique. From the trailer it looks like lots of geography is going to change.

Goblins have a personal servent that allows them access to their bank as a racial! Also Rocket boots and launchers. They will be just fine.

Besides, when is the last time you made something that took 451 Engineering?
