Loving these videos! Cataclysm was where me and my mate played the MOST WoW of any expansion, and we can't wait until it's our time to shine again. These videos are great for reminding me of a lot of stuff I'd forgotten over the years, thanks!
The quality of life changes alone are worth the hype. The difference between Cata back in the day & Cata now is we’re all old & have less time to sink into the game. Anything that shaves off time & makes the whole experience smoother should be very appreciated.
Its fair point but we both know retail is the flip side of this argument. Its too far gone, too much in it to pick it up now. Classic is that happy medium. Quality of life changes should never be considered 'features', they are merely smoothing out rough edges. The new features that are being added to Cata have been scrutinised for years, so its the perfect time to again, tweak them to provide some quality of life. The overall pessimism of the classic community towards Cata is nonsensical at this point. Is Cata that much different from Wrath.. no. Was it smoother to play.. yes! @@TheCrimsonFker
I started wow on a small private server from 2007 to 2009 then it closed and i was depressed but in 2010 i started playing on the official servers a few days after cata release to reunite with my old 2007 guild that moved there (that i'm still with to this day), so even if it's not my favorite expansion it has a very special place in my heart and i'm going to rinse it with the boys again !
Love the video. I’m super stoked for Cata, it’s where I really got into PVE content. Most people that aren’t excited for Cata are people that realize they can’t be carried through PVE content anymore
@@kl0pp1 because of what they did to the overworld. I also didn't like it at all but other than that Cata was my favourite expansion of all time and I did play since vanilla.
@@andrecardoso6941how do you care about the world, when it is you and people like you only running in circles in Dalaran, raidlogging and leveling alts only during JJ buff, crying for RDF? Azeroth revamp in cata made it fresh, and new quests are awesome. don’t be that andy, cata was awesome, just LFR and a year of DS made it a bit bad.
@@Osanve I don’t sit in Dalaran and I don’t really care that much since I don’t spend a lot of time in Azeroth either. It definitely made it better to level alts I just hate what they did with some zones where I had tons of memories. But you do have a point. Most people only sit in dalaran and they log just for raids and yet they complain a ton about the world. I like RDF not complaining about it at all.
the only class/race combo I was ever excited about was Gnome Hunter. I immediately made one as soon as I was able. Survival Hunter. There is nothing more satisfying than watch a gnome harpooning themselves to a mob.
@@cole8834 BFA was a slightly worse legion. WoD was peak quality, with minimum quantity, if it was a 1 year expansion, instead of 2 it would be considered one of the best. Cata is on par with WotLK, if not a bit better.
@@rattlehead999dog... WoD completely eviscerated anything worthwhile at max level outside of raiding. The first time I tried the dogshit dailies where you just fill up a bar I just quit the game then and there
@@cole8834Yeah, WoD didn't have much content at endgame, especially after maxing your garrison. But as I said the content that WoD had was peak, the quantity was very low though. The dungeons, Raids and 90-100 leveling was peak and PVP was also great, almost as good as Cata, but nowadays Dragonflight has surpassed anything before it, except in pre-expansion leveling, but it's so fast that it's good in the fact that you get it out of the way fast.
Really hope they add the legion version of transmog where you just collect the appearance rather than keeping the items and it taking up so much space.
Im sure they Will do like the retail transmog system. In the next pacth (ICC) the Will put the retail colection system for toys and Mounts, so i think the transmog retail system Will be implemented in cata.
The only thing I hate about cata is that its far too addictive 🤣 Been playing on a private server and i remember this being the most addicted to wow i ever was.
@@Scottejaye yea, I leveled a druid after your video, I'm pretty geared for resto and now I'm working on gearing a priest as shadow. Took off work yesterday so I could play all day 🤣
I played on Hades (and all twinstar cata servers after it) at one point in Tier 11 I was raiding 6/7 days in the week and loving it, 4 seperate guilds 😂😂
@@ahetzel9054sounds like me in the original cata lol. Cata is probably my all time favorite expansion. It gets too much hate from the quitters that never even fully experienced it.
aye mate but only if they are exactly the same in terms of what they do, if there is even a tiny change to what they do they can actually change to a completely different glyph, i'll be covering that in a video in the next couple of days on how to check what they are
@@Scottejaye thnx a lot for this already, looking forward to the vid. Trying to decide if I'm gonna make big batch of glyphs to try to sell on pre-patch launch day. But uncertain what I expect the risk to be.
Just saying Vash'jir is an amazing zone. It's beautiful, its got a good storyline, and it basically lets you "fly" all the time and you get the buff/mount very quick. Only reason people hate it is because they can't think in 3D, so the vertically is too difficult to grasp.
Please for the love of god I hope they don’t do void storage. It’s such an archaic way of doing transmog. They should just add the transmog to a collection tab like in retail
Personally not interested for Cata, that was the exp when I cancelled my sub for the first time since release. Now with wrath almost at the end and hard core being up I'm hyped for that and fingers crossed for fresh classic era
You're making me really hype for Cata, love this videos. I have a question for you as you're playing privte server Cata, how is it with proffesion. In wolk i got around 13-14 characters that are currently making JC, Mining and Alchemy dailiy for a nice chunk of gold each day. Does Cata have something similar like TitanSteel ? etc
if i stack a bunch of emblems of frost and they get transfered to the new points means that, i can farm dungeon gear before launch? or are they getting set to 0 on launch day?
I only played classic, then SoD now want to try Cata. I actually liked things like weapons skill. Sure, it was annoying, but it is fun for me because it makes sense in RP. I never used a polearm before, so I gotta practice.
ALL of these changes are great. I've now replayed EVERY iteration of WoW all the way up to MoP several times over. Cata is the most underrated and gets the most undeserved hate. Private servers fixed many issues like no LFR and pre nerf heroics. We need a solution like H++ for heroics to keep them relevant as new patch dungeons come out... the simplest solution is to just increase the ilvl of the items to match the new dungeons, and then you can increase the ilvl of the profession starter gear for PvE and PvP (which would keep professions relevant through the expansion as well). Another issue that should be considered is how easy the leveling content got with the talent/leveling changes (except for Shadow that feels pretty weak before lvl 30). If mobs were made about 3x as strong and the leveling was CHALLENGING, I think we'd have a monster on our hands. Other than that it is just 1) the final raid sucks and 2) as the expansion goes on the amount and quality of raids goes DOWN with each patch. The second one is an easy fix; raise up the ilvl of the gear of previous tiers to match... that way content is simply ADDED on with each patch. So the only thing left that would take real work is to take another crack at that final raid tier. If you were to actually do this, AND execute on all the simple fixes mentioned, then I think people's perception of this expansion will flip completely. The emblem and gearing systems were near perfect (absent something like PvP Power and the 2/2 PvP trinket bonus from MoP being added on). The catchup was great. It was an INCREDIBLY alt friendly expansion. I have my gripes with a few specs but pretty much everything felt great to play, the classes got a touch more complex and the end game content got more difficult. Most rotations feel damn smooth.
These are all looking great changes. Never played cata, saw lotsa people hating it but never understood why, guess they wanna feel themselves marginal. Anyway excited to play the expansion.
I honestly enjoy the idea of weapon skill, it shows you have taken the time outside of raid/dungeon to practice all the way upto max skill with that weapon, but i like new changes if it helps other people
Did not think I was hyped for cata AT ALL but this video defo changed my mind. It does look like this expansion might just be something I'll really like. Just hope they will not progress more in the expansions because unlike Cata, I did play MoP and I did not really enjoy it.. Blizz will probably keep progressing through the expansion but I wanna see just how long they will get away with it. Now they created SoD which they will consider classic+ and have vanilla servers so they satisfied a big chunk of players which is amazing. I just don't think they would be able to manage antoher version of "retail light+" which would be not moving to mop or the next expansion but doing something new. But the question really is if they just literally wanna progress through all expansions a few years behind retail which eventually gonna create the same problems and I can guarantee that by the time they hit shadowlands, there will be less than a 100 people playing so they might as well shut it down. Either way blizzard is doing rather well nowadays imo. Gonna give them the benefit of doubt and hope they will carry on making the right decisions. If RIOT don't fuck their MMO up when it comes out (2028-30 I guess) then Blizz will have a serious competitor in the businness.
Do you need to farm tokens like in WOTLK, to get those legendarys, becose that will suck for pugers. i mean if its like you need to roll for them and thingss like that
I agree alot of parts of this BUT! I think the wep skill is not that great. I liked the RP of getting a new weapon and you have to learn how to use it. Is it abit annoying? yes. But it was one of the parts in classic that i enjoyed. Cause you saw the damage increase and when it surpassed your old weapon you felt greater. Might just be me.
I think keeping the weapon trainers along with a faster skill up would be ideal. You need to learn how to use it… but also gameplay wise auto attacking enemies for literally hours is not fun.
Would you mind terribly doing something that's focused on how healing in general changes in Cata? I never played Cata back in the day but I seem to see a lot of complaints that healing gets more annoying and difficult.
Thank you! Healing is pretty much all I like doing in raids in WoW (2 disc priests, 2 rdruids, 1 holy pally, 1 resto shaman LOL) so have really been wanting a balanced view of it for Cata. Also, I love your content thanks for all you do! @@Scottejaye
@@wowclassic1it's difficult initially as you really need to manage mana. But it makes everyone better as they avoid swirlies (hopefully) :) with gear it evens out. It's really fun.
The only thing that puts me off playing retail wow now is the level squash.. I’m not really looking forward to getting 70 if that means I might still be doing dungeons with level 30s like myself. Honestly I’ll play any expansion of classic wow til they squash the levels. Blizzard might think it’s stupid but I think it would be epic to grind all the way to level 120! Can’t wait to go from 80-85 then 90 a year later. Classic wrath is seeing growth all the time, my guild is never short of healers for 25 raids and we’re gaining way more Guildford than we’re currently losing and the random server crashes must mean there’s more activity than Blizzard predicted.
I never understood why they didn’t add world raid markers into the game at classic BC. How would they negatively effect the game? Come on blizzard. You added a wow token you should added a nice QOL
Each revamp expansion over the original expansion will have some changes. And I be curious to see what Blizzard will add to the original Cataclysm in their revamped cataclysm expansion, Cataclysm Classic. Also be curious when Pandaria Classic will be a thing. Whether the whole pet battle system get revised to be more friendly and accessible for players. Talking about Cataclysm Classic, I guess a concern was with original cataclysm that there was sharding, and that players couldnt see other players, until they did some activity first. So a bit of gated content. But the other thing was that progression was restricted to give players time to get used to the expansion. Later things were better streamlined. I think the early moments of this sharding is putting off players. Maybe Blizzard wil learn from the past and had better servers and tools to combat increased population of players in one spot.
Thank you for the video! I have to say though that for #7 - Engineering is definitely worse. When the rocket boost fail you get a dot that does about 75% of your health. Also probably more importantly, Synapse Spring now shares a CD with all on use trinkets, so you can't stack cd's anymore. Engineering is good in Tier 11 because the helms and cogwheels, but otherwise, it's much worse.
Iirc nitro boosts don't fail in instances so that's only a real con in open world content. And IMO in open world content I'd rather take 80% of my HP through a DoT that I can use a defensive CDs for (Cloak/Bubble/Ice Block all insta clear it for example) than get knocked up high into the air.
Correct, I dont think u gem full mastery, but mostly puissant (green stam mastery), I think DKs are the ones that stack mastery even more cuz blood shield broken.
bm hunters and rogues were the most broken classes in pvp hunters were made op because of the kill command changes and spirit beasts then rogues had their legendary daggers they could solo and get. if your a bm hunter or rogue classic cata will be a great expansion for you im a bm hunter main.
I saw the word epic changes. I see no epic changes at all since this was just cata in the past. Was hoping you got information on new stuff that wasn’t in retail.

Before watching this video I wasn't really considering playing in cata again but after watching your video i'll at least give it a shot!🙂
I honestly dont think you'll regret it, the first tier of content in cata is probably the best there has ever been (imo at least)

What's the name of the addon that shows the raid buffs. that's really nice
I would like to know this as well
you can learn pets, mounts and heirlooms into a seperate tab in the latest PTR. I hope they implement the retail transmog system too
early on transmog would be absolutely banger and would revive the game for alot of players to farm more old content for transmog enjoyers like myself.

It was around this era I started playing WoW, in late Pandaria. If Cataclysm is the closest to it, I would love to play it.

Honestly I’ll play any expansion of classic wow til they squash the levels. Blizzard might think it’s stupid but I think it would be epic to grind all the way to level 120! Can’t wait to go from 80-85 then 90 a year later. Classic wrath is seeing growth all the time, my guild is never short of healers for 25 raids and we’re gaining way more Guildford than we’re currently losing and the random server crashes must mean there’s more activity than Blizzard predicted.
I never understood why they didn’t add world raid markers into the game at classic BC. How would they negatively effect the game? Come on blizzard. You added a wow token you should added a nice QOL
Each revamp expansion over the original expansion will have some changes. And I be curious to see what Blizzard will add to the original Cataclysm in their revamped cataclysm expansion, Cataclysm Classic. Also be curious when Pandaria Classic will be a thing. Whether the whole pet battle system get revised to be more friendly and accessible for players.
Talking about Cataclysm Classic, I guess a concern was with original cataclysm that there was sharding, and that players couldnt see other players, until they did some activity first. So a bit of gated content. But the other thing was that progression was restricted to give players time to get used to the expansion. Later things were better streamlined.
I think the early moments of this sharding is putting off players. Maybe Blizzard wil learn from the past and had better servers and tools to combat increased population of players in one spot.
I loved the skill tab. Cata is the great pruning no need for quality of life now it's just retail just an older version.
When will it be released?
I forgot about the fortune cookie cards! I loved that !
was Cata the xpac that gave xp for gathering and digging? Archeo's xp were insane at one point...
Thank you so much!
You missed the bonus for plate classes getting vonus for wearing all plate not needing to use leather or mail snd so on
Loving the cata content. Mage and warr changes video soon I hope
2nd movie i see from you, saying heirloom leggings are from working as a team, this is wrong. dont think leggs came until MoP
Thank you for the video!
I have to say though that for #7 - Engineering is definitely worse. When the rocket boost fail you get a dot that does about 75% of your health. Also probably more importantly, Synapse Spring now shares a CD with all on use trinkets, so you can't stack cd's anymore. Engineering is good in Tier 11 because the helms and cogwheels, but otherwise, it's much worse.
Iirc nitro boosts don't fail in instances so that's only a real con in open world content. And IMO in open world content I'd rather take 80% of my HP through a DoT that I can use a defensive CDs for (Cloak/Bubble/Ice Block all insta clear it for example) than get knocked up high into the air.
i had totally forgotten about the new glyph system
Btw they gonna remove void storage and you can have tmog like on retail
Seems like you think LFG will be in Cata, but I'm not so sure. All we know will for certain be in Cata is tokens and bots.
i cant wait for cata, i barely remember any of it, and did very little raiding so its going to be like a brand new expac to me
The fishing and cooking quest are convient for sitting in org/sw spamming rdf. Same with the one time balloon quest.
Cata isn't confirmed yet tho is it?
Who else has been keeping things in the bank waiting for transmog? XD i'm excited about it as im a classic andy.
When does cata come out?
So hyped for cata classic. Gonna race change my hunter to human day one and just enjoy the reworked hunter.
i mean the leaks from the source that has been acurrate before says there would not be cata classic
To not get lost in the maze of WC simply always stick to the left in the long part :)
And this is why I am super excited for Cata Classic. It was just Fun to play and so much to do.
I can't wait for Cata Classic. If they don't include LFR, it could be ana amazing experience.
Isnt mastery stacking (till block cap for pal and war) the best way to go? You are greifing your healers if you go full stamina.
Yes.
Correct, I dont think u gem full mastery, but mostly puissant (green stam mastery), I think DKs are the ones that stack mastery even more cuz blood shield broken.
Can you still farm ZA mounts?
bm hunters and rogues were the most broken classes in pvp hunters were made op because of the kill command changes and spirit beasts then rogues had their legendary daggers they could solo and get.
if your a bm hunter or rogue classic cata will be a great expansion for you im a bm hunter main.
Gotta know everything @whitemane so can implement it on cata classic, ty for videos mate!
Other than Wrath Cata is by far the best xpac. I was so addicted.
Cata was my jam!
I saw the word epic changes. I see no epic changes at all since this was just cata in the past. Was hoping you got information on new stuff that wasn’t in retail.
you may aswell just play retail though, i really dont understand the desire for cata classic at all
why would i want to skip several expansions, i wanna go through them all
Cata is nothing like retail. I absolutely hate retail and cata was one of my all time favorites.
I will loose a GCD as a mage because I have to cast Time warp -.-
Better than being excluded from a 10 man because you don't bring ANY meaningful raidbuffs relative to all other classes.
HuuurrrBalists and TabARD enjoyers are bloody stoked now...
While i was watching this video, I was leveling a weapon skill while doing the Oracles dailies. Ironic
I can’t wait for #51 the path of the ancients progression system!!
