WoW: Cataclysm -> New Expansion

[Key-J]

So,

Just saw this from a G4 video.

* Auto-quest complete technology: Players are able to complete quests in the field and immediately begin the next quest in the chain, without running back to the quest giver for the next step in the quest, allowing multiple quests to be completed without returning home.

* Raid boss quantity limits: Every raid in Cataclysm will have no more than six raid bosses per instance. Instances like Icecrown Citadel and Ulduar in boss number are gone, and the Serpentshrine Caverns/Tempest Keep model is back in. With a reduced number of raid bosses per raid, three full raids will be available at Cataclysm's launch.

I really like the epic feeling of 10+ bosses. The decision makes sense though. They have to split raids for the combined 10/25 lockouts to work better for most players.

What the **** is this bullshit? They really insist on making stuff easier? Plus it kills the small but appreciated roleplaying this game have. You should have to run back to the quest giver to get the next quest. Freak its not like the Quest Giver has a cellphone and sends you a text with your next quest

I rather had 5-6 bosses. Something that you can clear in a single raid night.

It also help when you're pugging junk on an alt.

The quest thing is good. Running/flying back isn't hard, but it's a useless timesink.

Full clear 25ICC in a 3 hour raid night. All about efficiency.

imo theres nothing really epic about having to do Marrowgar, LDW, funship, and Saurfang, festerface, rotgut, val, princes, and BQL just so you can start doing your progression bosses each week.

I only raid 10m HMs and we raid from 7-11svt and normally we have about an hour left on the clock to work on progression after we clear through the content we've done before. The same with Ulduar, it was epic at first but i remember the daunting task of having to clear everything just to get back to the keepers so we could keep working on them each week. What once was epic was now just an annoyance and really took the fun out of most of the night.

IMO it'll come down to difficulty. If they do a model where they have sort of an intro raid and the other two are more difficult then i won't mind clearing the easy one and feeling like im working on 2-3 hard bosses per raid in the other raids. If they make it so that in each raid there's just 4 funship bosses and 1 hard boss im going to be pretty disappointed.

I like the new questing change but its not a game breaker. I usually just pick up a lot of quest at once and do them all in as much of a circle as possible until i turn them all in. They seem to be making these new zones pretty big though and it would help each zones story and progression move faster if you didn't have to run back to quest givers each time. We're getting 5 zones and they expect us to go through a minimum of 4 for just 5 levels. That's a lot of questing we're going to have to do which means alot of story and if they want to keep you from getting bored or feeling like its a mountain one of the best ways to to have the experience flow as seamlessly as possible.

New leveling warning:

Code: Select all



Mmmm the NDA is gone for beta.

so some pally news i found

Spoiler!

All Greater Blessings Gone! All blessings now work as both a singular and greater blessing, and instead of casting them class by class, they're now raid-wide. Oh, and they also last a full hour like all of the other raid buffs.

Healing Hands(http://cata.wowhead.com/spell=82327) Imagine something like Wild Growth but always centered on you. This is going to be an instant-cast, but according to current numbers, it will have a very high casting cost. But, if you're able to keep as unlimited mana during intense fights as you can on live realms, this would be a great way to help out yourself and your healers

Seems good HoT for pallys .

Pally is gonna be so much better in cata XD

I'd like to see a SS or two of a zone or place which you just think is super cool. Blizzard showed us a lot of "commercial shots" but nothing really cool.

If you have any signs of Deathwing would be cool too see.

Give us a shot of Garrosh in his new throne. N if you find Thrall let's see how the guy is doing.

Um... yeah...
