      ^This! I'm so sick of spending time in a game you pay for doing the digital equivalent of the dishes in hopes that maybe you'll have time to do something you enjoy. If you have extra time to spend in Cata, it is the most alt friendly expansion in the history of the game and class design of Cata/MoP is the peak IMO. There are so many things I want to do and play that I know I won't have time for it all. This is why I hope they don't rush it.

    Cata has been great so far, sort of remembering why I felt cata was my favourite expansion of all time. Honestly, at his stage in life I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, have a girlfriend and a life outside of video gaming - so having the ability to just leave the game for a day or two and not "miss out" on anything is great.

      @@fireandice1860 , it is the most alt friendly expansion WoW has ever had. There are not endless grinds of "chores" to do so that hopefully you will get to actually have fun in a game doing what you want. The emblem system is the simplest it has EVER been, reforging and great catch up mechanics mean you don't fall behind, and the addition of an increased cap of valor/conquest based on TIME since release means it's never too late. I got an alt up to cap in a bout a week (the heirlooms are great for this and you can get some when leveling up your first toon from guild rep as well as the darkmoon faire), and after a few days of running heroics I'm now raid ready minus bracers that won't drop.

    I really gave it an honest try- I leveled, ran heroics, did a raid or two. It just doesn't scratch that "classic" itch for me. Which is on me, not the game- there are a lot of things Cata got right, but enough core Classic elements are gone. I suspect many of the "OG Trilogy only" fans feel a bit homeless at the moment, having played all 18 versions of Vanilla but nothing in sight in terms of new TBC or LK servers.

    •  7 днів тому +4

      Tbh, wrath belongs in the retail category as well and wasnt as great as we thought it was(or at least the beginning of the down fall). Retail is so bad we thought Wrath belonged in the classic category. I started playing when Wrath orginally dropped and when it got re-released, it felt too close to retail. Vanilla and TBC are truly the only two versions of the game that belong to classic.

    • @Persepolis-o2b

      While I understand your position, I personally define "classic" as everything (good and bad) before the world revamp, and I had a blast in Wrath Classic; I was in an amazing casual guild that cleared just about all content at some difficulty. I do think TBC got a lot of things right that Wrath didn't, so I am more than happy to leave Wrath alone for a few years if I can get my TBC fix soon.

      I personally hope they do this to the other heroics as well; with 4.1 we go from a nice amount of dungeons to being funneled into two heroics. Don't get me wrong, they are great dungeons, but we can't have LESS content as the expansion goes on, so I hope they make previous tiers relevant. Heck, even if they just adjusted the item levels of the gear that drops that would be perfect for everyone and make catch up/alts even faster.

I was worried I wouldn't be able to get to that like the Cinderella story but surprisingly enough I wasn't a complete slave in Cata and got my main and an alt set and my professions on several alts done. FYI I do really like Cata bc of the updated areas and going back to older dungeons with harder content is great! My main complaint is stats getting rid of Armor Pen, really???? Uggg but other than that for the most part I can commend the devs for all the hard work they did after WRATH and you can see on many aspects that they thought about a lot. It's kinda crazy to go into retail like the Remix right now and see where all this goes...think ima go for the best of both worlds and try to swing both.... hopefully I will continue to have time for both I still have a raiding toon on SoD but im not going to push that envelope. That one is def the time sink, so for anyone who thinks there isn't anything to do right now just wait for SoD as I'm sure u will be grinding till ur eyes bleed lol.

    Cata is the best after vanilla and tbc imo. The combat is great (as in, rotations/abilities etc), the raids/fights are amazing (at least until DS lol) and the pvp is actually really good. But a lot of people really don't like Cata and it's starting to show. Our guild is struggling to keep up 25 man and we are probably transitioning to being a 10 man guild, because for the first time since the guild launched in vanilla we are having too much trouble recruiting new people to keep up with the attrition. The playerbase is shrinking.
    The biggest downside for me is that there's just nothing to do outside of raiding/pvp. Vanilla and TBC always had shit to do for me. Cata just has me raidlog much more than Vanilla/TBC ever did :P I'm really enjoying Cata, I hope everyone reading this does too

This is also the most alt friendly expansion in the history of the game, at a point where rotations peaked in Cata/MoP. If you have extra time and enjoy alts that is more than enough to possibly be able to do it all.

    My only issue with the game right now is strictly RNG. Ive cleared every raid with my 10 man team every week since they released. But somehow ive only gotten 2 drops the entire time. Plus our raid comp isnt exactly the best it could be, but we still clear everything every week. But unfortunately the only plate that ever drops seems to be Holy Pally stuff (which we dont have). Plus being a Blood DK means I have to roll against almost half my roster for my tier gear plus 2 warriors for weapons... and using the MS>OS+1 means nobody is prio on gear. Ive basicalylly been stuck at 355ilvl for the last month and a half... And since no melee or plate gear ever drops, we cant really do a majority of the heroic bosses because our DPS is lacking.

      Also imagine how much better this expansion would feel with a "timeless isle" type world content dropped with 4.3... Cata has a ton of potential to fix the few glaring issues it had and it's frustrating how little time they are putting into it.

      Cata was always a solid patch. It was just hated for the world revamp(doesn't matter now thanks to Era servers) and Dragonsoul being a horrible raid. There is no redeeming Dragonsoul but at least it won't stay here for almost 2 years like it did on retail.

      Well there are plenty of people still playing and most people I know have alts that they are trying to get into groups... hopefully you can find a guild that fits you. As people drop off they will be recruiting for those spots, so as phase 1 winds down you should be able to find a spot and set yourself up for Firelands.

  • @MrDARKJAK

    My main problem with Cata is there are only 7 new dungeons. Seven! Compared with the number of dungeons in all the previous expansions, that is just sad. They have gotten boring pretty quickly honestly, not even cause they are bad or anything, they are fine, but they get repeated so much that they have already worn out their welcome (Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep don’t count as new dungeons btw, just cause they are newly worked and made into a heroic doesnt mean they are new). Besides that, I do find the raids fun, dont want to come off as just being a downer on Cata, and i personally find alot of enjoyment mog farming

Some of these offheals are way over the top. And being a shadowpriest its pretty dishearthening to see how shitty our heals are when we need to use them compared to others, even hymn is ass. They still have major balancing to do to some spells

    Everyone had an alt in TBC, most raided as two characters, but Cata is something else in that department as people, even in the sort of casual guild I am in, have 5 or 6 characters they’re raiding on. A couple have 15+.
    So far I’ve found Cata to be incredibly mindless, excruciatingly boring, and overall just an endless slog. The leveling content, if you bothered to do quests, is bad with its entirely self contained zones filled with ham-fisted references and armies of mobs that pose no threat to even a naked character starting out. An added bonus to how mindless everything is is that you can simply fly over everything. The dungeons are entirely linear which is something that didn’t begin in Cata (TBC was bad here as well as WotLK) and everything inside of them feel spongy as grinding them is countless hours of rotational "fun".
    Then comes the raids, which not even accounting for the buggy mess the lockout system and boss mechanics have been, have given off extreme Ulduar vibes, where each encounter requires a brand new set of issues for your raid to deal with, and I don’t mean mechanics, I mean figuring out how to drag your weakest members through them. None of the fights are fun or interesting as the shear amount of mechanics for every fight kind of keeps you on edge the entire time kind of locking out any enjoyment. Finally, the loot is real blah, the stat changes and homogeneous nature of everything makes all the loot the same-ish, even if you don’t get mega BiS you’ll be fine, just go to the reforger and you’re 99% of the way there on item level alone.
    I am willing to believe that I could be alone in these sentiments, but I think it’s more likely that I am not. I have really not been appreciating Cata and that the rot that has destroyed the foundation of the game that began in TBC but accelerated in WotLK has been amped up further here to the point where the more "casual" players will completely abandon the game as the only reason they kept playing was for hanging out with their friends, but their inability to track ten mechanics a fight has each other at their throats.

Trying to run a raid but i have 359 gear and cant do heroic with out heroic exp. So getting into a group is so hard without exp. I’m m behind the curve… then i go into a pug and kill like 6 heroics. The players were super un welcoming and if people didnt get a spot early it was hard to find one. I think alot of people grinded to max lvl then didnt have a raid spot reached out couldnt get into a raid. Or tried to raid then quit. Idk i had to perservere some bad raids and bad attitudes and probly like four u don’t have heroic exps. It was a super grind to raid wothout a group or team. I can see alot of solo chara just stop logging in

    I enjoy not being pressured to be forced playing the game. It's fine how it is, but i dont see myself playing Dragonsoul that much. I dont think people who struggle with 365 gear in Hc will kill them with 378 or higher, since some bosses are not gear dependent, like Council or Sinestra.

    I started cataclysm now and it plays amazing I'm just worried about there being enough players on max level as the world seems void of people not even seen a single player outside cities.
    Playing wotlk the first time there were always people leveling at any time always.
    Splitting a community on multiple game modes, then multiple servers and multiple level contents.
    It's weird at his point as the world is the biggest weakness in wow now. No-one likes an emty world and few playing alone in an MMO. Just remove the world and make it instance based.
    Because all everyone does anyhow is dungeons/raid unless they want achievements how many actually quests lvl15-max

    Always said the big downside for classic iterations of the game (outside of Vanilla) is there is nothing to do outside of raid except pvp. Mythic+ was the greatest thing ever to be added to the game. MoP started to add additional things to do but prior to M+ this is just the game.
