Cataclysm Closed Beta Key Contest!Follow

I'm exited as ever for the expansion. Every part of it is amazing. Azeroth is long overdue for a change, and the cataclysm is the perfect addition to spike up the epicness of warcraft. Flying, dragons, amazing lore, Worgen conflict, explosions, rise of new villains and threats, and much more.

But if I had to chose one part of the non-stop epicness, which is harder than anything, would probably be the phasing and questing changes. Questing through azeroth has gotten dull and worn out with the same old stories over and over, so it is obviously in need of a bump up. Right now questing simply implies you to "Go kill 10 of X" "Collect X of this" or "Bring me X's head" most, but with the advancements Blizzard is making questing fun and interesting. With huge battles, storylines playing out, buildings getting destructed, actual NPC interaction, etc. Phasing allows changes throughout quest lines and makes questing more fun. With every quest having a story to it, it looks like an amazing ride. I can't wait.

I am most excited about the upcoming lore changes and new raid content especially how 10 and 25 man raids will drop same lvl loot

I'm most excited with the death knight changes in cataclysm, I really like what they are doing to the class in general despite the QQ from a lot of people. Female worgen look awesome too, really looking forward to race changing or rerolling one!

Flying in Azeroth is going to be a blast for me - taking off from the ground while standing in SW, I can hardly wait.

I've avidly tracked new youtube videos from the cataclysm beta - the quests are amazing! I can hardly wait for the expansion.

after watching all the cataclysm beta videos on youtube i just cant wait for the expantions. i seen most of the new artwork and thay look amasing. from tank spot's and totalbiscuit's chanials.but the main thing im looking forward to is the goblin, and the new talent system sounds good because you can get high ranked spells at lvl 10 and it will help alot in questing.the the best think of all it that you can fly in the old worlds. :)

I look forward to playing Heroic Deadmines. As someone who has played WoW since Vanilla, it is good to see the Defias Brotherhood get some long overdue attention. They are probably one of my favorite memories from leveling up my original character, and a lot can be done with them as a faction. I honestly would not mind seeing them return full force in a raid setting, but to see the original dungeon get some love to replay as a high level character is most exciting. Almost makes me want to dust off my old rogue just to play through it on him to venture further into the cloak and dagger story of the defias gang.

And I soooo hope Edwin shows his ugly mug as alive and well.

I'm most excited about rolling an alliance and finally killing Garrosh :P I'm pretty sure even hordes will want that happen!

I'm also excited to be in the same zone of a being of epicness, such as mr crowley.

and also, of course - flying everywhere :)

10 reasons why (not) to wait for cataclysm.

1. I just want to see, if blizzard did the same like they did with wotlk. unfulfilled promises.

2. The new water engine, looks amazing on videos, but DAMN I wanna see it before it hits the stores.

3. Naked female goblins dancing on mailboxes?

4. I mean like, you play wow for over 5 years, you get so used to azeroth the way it is and then suddenly BAM! Deatwhing returns, Ragnaros attempts to burn the worldtree (it aint even close to the winter yet)

5. Ive seen these... racetracks all around, I'm actually verry curious about what theyre going to do with it. and flight masters? epic flying, will it be cheaper?

6. Dungeons, OH MY GOD... new dungeons, FINALLY. A place to farm some heroism points. goddamn I cant wait for those, I mean, skywall, have you seen it? seriously, LOOK IT UP NOW!

7. Neat changes to the major cities, except for undercity, nothings been released on that yet. I wonder whats actually going to happen with it. I mean, beeing so close to a lake, and the world getting screwed over like that all of a sudden, might it become an underwater amusement park or something, I mean, with goblins jumping in the game all of a sudden, who knows?

8. Lets get down to bussiness, this is the real thing... GEAR, I mean, vanilla wow was awesome, you had to work for your gear, actually grind sh*t... TBC was alright, the raids were hard, fun & rewarding but the grinding aspect became less of a part of the game (ezier gameplay means moar kids & nubs) And then well, wotlk, tbh, it was good, as I just said. WAS good. they made it lolface-able, it became so damn ez to get your gear, it isnt even fun anymore. Go to icc, farm badges, buy gear, the end... Raids got left out (except for the weekly) it just got worse then you can imagine.

9. New dances, AH MA GAWD, finally, NEW dances!

10. cmon' guys, cut me some slack alrdy... I just gave you 9 reasons! thats 8 more then you asked for! Hrrm, okey, here we go for the last reason... its the goddamn brand new f*****g expansion?!?!

(PS: roll horde, we got tastier fish feasts!)

Kind regards,

Im most excited about flying around azeroth and raiding like 40 people into an enemy capital while flying. Also the goblin starting area looks sick

The hotness that is tauren paladin and getting to play through 1-60 like it's a new game.

I am excited for one simple reason, i miss the "wow" feeling of WoW. I remember when everything was so fresh and new and so amazing. The world was such a big place, and not being able to get a mount until lvl 40(if you even had the gold) just made it seem that much bigger. I loved exploring STV and all its islands, or going all over Winterspring, or even seeing if there was anything out there in Azshara. I miss being a lowbie and discovering all the areas and looking in every little nook and cranny, and avoiding mobs and such. I remember logging on just to see if it was raining, and if it was raining i'd go under water to see if the rain hitting the water was visible. With cata, i have heard of so many changes and so many epic things, i just want to be able to log on and start all over and explore through a brand new world again. I can't wait, Beta would be so awesome right now. Thanks for doing this, and i really hope i'm picked.

I am most excited about the changes that are being made to the old world. Being able to fly in the old world is going to be amazing. All the questing and raids that will be introduced will really invigorate the old cities like SW and IF. Its going to feel more like War now, since you wont necessarily be checking your bank account while standing next to your mortal enemy.. the Troll!

Changes to instances like SFK and Deadmines will be incredible too, I hope.

Thanks for reading

I'm looking forward to the revamped zones, as well as the new talent trees and other systems being implemented. I'm stoked about trying the Goblin and Worgen, definitely planning to have a Goblin Engineer, just gotta decide a class. :)

Zombie Onyxia and Nefarian as bosses! <3
