Why I want cataclysm beta key
# Jul 28 2010 at 3:59 AM Rating: Decent
I have been playing this game since the first beta of vanilla and i have loved all of the aspects of the game, both pve and pvp.
The most things i see foward to in the Cataclysm is the new races and the zones that have been closed for like 5 years and ofc that we can fly around in Azeroth.
There is so many things that i wanna see and try out before the release of the retail version of cataclysm.
Think this expansion will be great beacuse blizzard have fixed so many stuffs with classes and professions

the world mostly

# Jul 28 2010 at 3:50 AM Rating: Decent
I'm looking forward to seeing the redesigned zones. I loved the old Azeroth zones, so the prospect of exploring them post-Cataclysm and seeing the destruction wrought, that's what I'm looking forward to!
I love Cataclysm
# Jul 28 2010 at 3:46 AM Rating: Decent
I really love the preview i read on different websites, new spells, new warlock soulshard system, worgens and goblins, but what really interested me was the underwater zones and underwater mounts

I really hope I can get a key, to have a closer look :)

Vatheran of Dragonblight, is hence looking forward to Cataclysm, to travel the foresty forests of Elwynn Forest and discover the new and improved Hogger! To be able to finally loot his paw of his corpse and complete the cataclysm!!
Deathwing has returned...

First when Cataclysm was announced, I wasn't too excited about it. But when I further investigated it, I realised how epic it would be. There is two things above all others.

- Extremely interesting lore (Neltharion, worgens...)
- New, improved graphics.

((PS. Would be nice to get a key, it's my birthday 2 days after announcing the winners.))

Why I should be exited for Cataclysm
# Jul 28 2010 at 2:04 AM Rating: Decent
There are many reasons why I should be exited for Cataclysm. However there are main ones that I will discuss here.

1) I am really looking forward to experiencing the new starting zones for the worgens and goblins. I am really pleased that their are seige weapons in the starting zones along with the quest lines.

2) I am really pleased with the fact that we will be able to use our flying mounts in Azeroth. I have been waiting for something to happen like this for a long time. Imagine hopping on your mount and just jumping from it onto your opposing factions' capital city/cities.

3) I am really exited about the new quests and the new dungeons. I am very eager to complete the new quests and experience the new dungeons along with it's bosses.

4) I am really happy with the new Class/Race combinations such as a Blood Elf Warrior for instance. Aswell as a Dwarf Shaman.

5) Last but not least, I am very exited to try out the new PvP areas. A world PvP area ( Tol Barad ) could not sound any cooler. We actually have a place now in Azeroth dedicated for only world PvP.
personally...

im looking forward to the trimmed talent trees and new skills and the removal of the "junk" talents. while the current trees weren't too hard to master, the new ones look a lot funner.

revisiting the old world and seeing the new raid content is also definately something i am looking forward to.

Paladin Changes
# Jul 28 2010 at 2:00 AM Rating: Decent
Although all of the additions made in Cataclysm look fantastic, the changes to the talent trees and my favorite class, the paladin, are definitely my favorites. The redone talents look great, with Blizzard "trimming" the boring talents to make way for the new and interesting talents. In addition, the Cataclysm paladin class seems extremely interesting, mostly because of the new "Holy Power." I have played only one character since the first days of World of Warcraft, and that is my extremely beloved paladin. All of that time, I have never felt fully challenged, even though I am deeply in love with my paladin. This new "Holy Power" brings some interesting new abilities to the table, along with making the class more challenging. In general, the new talents and redesigned paladin class make me the most excited, because it seems to me like I will be having a load of fun with it.
Paladin Changes!!!....

I'm just so excited about everything the beautiful new landscapes, Goblins blowing up several islands (Now THAT WILL BE FUN!) and all the new phasing thats happening in the worgen and goblin starting zones, and most importantly of all, HUMAN DRUIDS yes i know technically there worgen ones, but in human form... Now that is sweet!
Cataclysm Beta
# Jul 28 2010 at 1:47 AM Rating: Decent
First thing im very intrested in is the worgen lore since the day of announcment.

Second, I normally play a shaman I woud really like to see were my main class is heading tword in Cataclysm.

I also enjoy PvP very much it would be really intresting to do a new BattleGround.

I would like to see the new guild UI as I help run many guilda to see the changes and how things work such as guild talents.

I have worked with almost all the proffesions and I would really like to see Archaeology.

I think of it as a great opprotunity to see much changes of were the game is going.

Cataclysm adore
# Jul 28 2010 at 1:38 AM Rating: Decent
to be honest blizzard put some bad class race combo's to cataclysm but a tauren paladin is what i would like to level and enjoy the holycow's judgements :) i think the best tank is on the way with cata some people doesnt like the idea of holycow but the priorty of guilds and pugs are well geared and high HP'ed tanks so TAUREN PALADIN is why i am expecting the cataclysm
Cataclysm I'm coming!!!
# Jul 28 2010 at 1:21 AM Rating: Decent
I'm looking forward to........... I just want to keep it simply. I really really want to try everything in the Cataclysm include the new healing and tank talent's and Worgen and a lot of different things..... I'm really excited to play the Cataclysm beta before Nov or before it come up on live...........

(: I hope everyone win the beta key :)

I am so excited I may pass out.
