Cataclysm Closed Beta Key Contest!Follow

I'm excited about all of it. I love how they are overhauling so much of the game and I think that these changes may bring back some of the excitement that I used to find in WoW. The think I am most exited about is the changes to Azeroth. I'm really looking forward to questing through all of these redone zones and seeing exactly what they have changed.

I'm excited about playing as a Goblin Warrior and exploring as much of the new quests in the Goblin zones as well as the new abilities and talents Warriors will get. The best part is, I'll be playing alongside my brother, him being a Goblin Shaman!

I'm most excited about focus and how it'll improve the overall hunter experience, as well as the new races. :)

And yes I did make an account for this, I think it's pretty cool. :)

Although there's many, many things I'm looking forward to in Cataclysm, I have to say I'm most looking forward to exploring the newly changed world of Azeroth. Rather than rushing straight to 85, I'll be taking my time to explore both old and new zones in great detail.

Hmm...What I most like about and can't wait for in Cataclysm? I'd say the epic changes to the talent trees. I myself having quite a few characters have been looking at the various changes to each class and so far am amazed, and awestruck at what Blizzard is doing. Introducing "Orbs" for the mage class will be neat. Always liked blasting away will be a nice change to see something new. Also playing a paladin I'm especially wondering about the "Holy Power". It looks like it might be cool. Each class seems to be getting a much needed boost and at the same time maintaining balance between classes. Blizzard's hit the spot with Cataclysm. Can't wait for the release.

I'm excited about Cataclysm because I can get another run at getting into the story of the game. I have become so reliant on quest addons that I don't even read the quest text anymore. This time around I am not going to use any addons for at least my first two new characters.

I am most excited about how Cataclysm seems to be bringing, in my opinion, WoW back down to it's vanilla roots, by revamping everything and learning from mistakes made in the past. I feel this expansion is going to be the best expansion yet, and I can't wait.

Looking forward to trying out the new class / race combos and seeing how the changes towards stat scaling will effect bosses / instances. After watching some videos on Tankspot I got really pumped, and seeing how raids (10 / 25 mans) will share loot, I am glad to see casuals or even part time casuals and small guilds can rejoice to seeing high end gear.

I also can't wait to see the new zones (mainly Uldum) and how the older ones have changed =D.

I'm mostly looking forward to the revamped talent trees, its been a long time coming, and I'm really excited for them :) Including removing some of the annoying secondary stats like armor pen. Also, I plan on creating so many alts. The new updated quest mechanics excite me quite a bit. Like phasing (terrain and NPCs). All really exciting stuff!

My main is also a DK, I like what blizzard is doing with the rune revamp. Gives me a more enjoyable experience as a DK. Reforging seems to be pretty exciting also, being able to change your gear to more fit your character is pretty cool. Also, I'm REALLY exciting that they're making 5 mans more challenging than they are currently in WOTLK.

The goblin and worgen (especially goblin) leveling zones seem to be really innovative. Stuff like shooting alliance planes down and shooting a ball into a valcano (both goblin examples) are pretty neat.

Thanks for reading!

I'm incredibly excited about dwarf shamans.

Back when enhancement shamans got dual wielding, I thought it would be awesome if dwarves could play that spec. The more I thought about it, the more I thought shamanistic dwarves was a really cool concept. Fast forward several years and I finally get the chance!

I started WoW on release day wanting to play a paladin. I leveled to 35, hated it, and rerolled a dwarf hunter. In TBC, I leveled a dwarf paladin to 70 since they had crusader strike and were much more fun, but it was still an alt to the hunter. In WotLK, retribution paladins were finally fun to play (talking rotation/play style, not power!), so that became my main. As soon as Cataclysm was announced, along with dwarves being able to play shamans, I knew what my main was going to be.

Now, I have a full backstory for my character. The dwarf hunter, paladin, and future shaman are all the same person. Born from a Bronzebeard mother and a Dark Iron father, he grew up mostly in Loch Modan and became a hunter. Ultimately, he overcame (most) suspicions about his loyalties to the Bronzebeard clan, and was allowed into the order of paladins. However, he continues to experience suspicions from some. In Northrend, he sees Ulduar and the origins of the dwarves, comes to believe that the dwarves should pursue knowledge of their past, and feels that the Light is more for humans than dwarves. When the Cataclysm happens, Magni's sacrifice will confirm his thoughts and he becomes a shaman. Adding to that, the return of a faction of Iron Dwarves into alliance with the Bronzebeards via Moira allows him to finally return to Ironforge without facing suspicions about him personally.

I even used a wolf almost full time for my entire hunter career. The backstory has the wolf dying just before he goes to become a paladin. It ties in perfectly to enhancement shamans using feral spirit!

Between the coolness factor, gameplay, & backstory, a dwarf shaman feels like the character I've been waiting to play, and I can't wait to get started!

There is so much I am going to look forward to in Cataclysm...the extra levels, the changes in azeroth, the mounts, the redone dungeons and especially the talent tree changes. I think the one thing that excites me the most though is the fact that there is actually a new expansion. The 2 expansions I have been through have both just got me really looking forward to just playing again! Chosing who to level first! What professions are going to be big! and to get away from the whole waiting for ICC and that's it. I love this game and I can't wait for more!

Well what i'm looking forward to most is being able to quest through completely new areas with completely new talent trees!

I am a terrible alt-o-holic (i've probably leveled every class to at least 40 twice) so i'm really looking forward to getting a new "spark" in my play area.

Also, one of my favorite parts of games in which there are "talents" is trying to find out what each talent does and how it goes together with others, so i'm super excited about being able to do this all over again!

Being able to fly in Azeroth is also a big point to me, i'll finally get to see what cities look like, as well as, some previously unaccessible areas look like!

And, as a side note Human Hunters!

Well if you pick me awesome, if not... well if not i'll have to wait another couple months but... that would suck!

I'm *currently not* at all "excited" about Cata - in fact, I'm leery of it.

After working 2 great characters upto lvl 80 (and several other lowbies) - I have always thoroughly enjoyed the diversity the game has offered. The multitude of decisions one can make regarding talent trees, rotations, gear, and so on. With the new changes (specifically talent tree modifications) - all that seems to be gone. The simplification of stats/attributes is also disappointing and lastly, the drive towards guild bonuses is a bummer to those who like to be singular/individuals and not be cast into a group/guild in order to reap the bonuses when they don't want to socialize.

I've spent as much time outside the game , researching and doing various studies on gear/rotations/talents and reading msg boards for insights - that seemingly - are all going to be severely handicapped in the expansion due to the simplification of many areas (talents/stats/gear).

I *will* be excited if cata proves my trepidations wrong. Otherwise, it will be easy for me to finally quit the game.
