I am looking forward to the new graphics (the water screenshots look amazing) and content (hard 5 mans woot!), both for post 80 and for new characters

I want to see how CS can help pally tanking, what and how effective will the Guardian of Ancient Kings be, Healing Hands while tanking woot. I'd also like seeing the gobelin starting area as well as the new architecture of dongeons, the egyptian like Uldum and the new water effect. I would also like to fly over the Barrens and all over azeroth.

Thanks

I have to say I'm excited that Azeroth is getting a face lift. It will be nice that Org is the cool place to be again. I'm glad that they were able to bring us back though a great piece of lore as well Deathwing coming back is a fantastic concept.

I'm looking forward to seeing all those quests we all took part in so long ago actually having an "effect" on the world (ex: the spreading of life in the Barrens from the oases connected to Wailing Caverns). I've always loved doing all the quests for the stories involved, and to see those stories evolve and actually affect the world they're set in is really exciting, to me. I'm probably going to spend a ridiculous amount of time just exploring and taking in the changes.

It kinda boggles my mind though that people who join after Cata won't really know what it was like beforehand. It kinda makes me feel privileged, but sad, too, because they won't really be able to appreciate the changes (then again, as is inevitable with any sort change, at least that'll mean less people to whine about it, too ;).)

I think the thing I am most looking forward to in Cata is the new leveling experience. I really like Worgen and I am psyched about Goblins. Even the Deathwing story gets me excited. But, above all of that, I like to level characters. I have seven level 80's (working on getting 8 and 9 done before Cata), and I really enjoy the leveling experience as it is. Once I heard they were revamping the entire old world, I knew I had to play it. I have even set up characters on a second server so I can level even more!

As far as what I would look forward to most in the beta.... I like witnessing (and participating in) the growth and development of this game. I was in the Wrath beta and it is amazing how different the release was from the original implementation of the beta.

I'm looking forward to the ability to fly essentially anywhere in the game, giving the opportunity to explore the secret and little-known areas in the game, the strange designer areas where things have been left to be found by people randomly swimming off the coast of a zone, i wonder if they'll create any easter eggs in the old world for any avid flyers?

Well im most looking forward to seeing all the changes to all the content in azeroth mostly, seeing some new raids also will be a bonus. Also i cant wait to try out the new races as some of them wil be real fun to play i can imagine, cant wait to lvl all my 80's to the new higher lvl mark to try out all there abilities and stuff will be really fun to see that :)

I'm looking forward to the new raids and exploring the new Azeroth, and not having to run around on ground mounts.
Hopefully BRM will still be mount-free so I can get some decent world pvp there like in vanilla.

Im really excited to see how fun the boss encounters are. Im also excited for how the whole world is going to change and im ready to explore it all. In cata id be willing to start a fresh toon just to go through the new lower level zones.I like how they are changing the talent trees and how it explains what each tree will give you b4 u even choose. Im also real pumped up for learning my classes again. Thats what made WoTLK fun for me :D

I am mostly excited about the change in the healing dynamics, ive been playing since Vanilla wow and ever since burning crusade the healing dynamics have changed a lot. At level 60 raiding Zul' Gurub you had to actually use tactics in your healing. Not just press the big flashy button. I really want to experience a change in the dynamics and to enjoy the healer class that bit more!

- First of all, the best thing with cataclysm is that Blizzard brings back the vanilla feeling (atleast the zones)

- The new talent rewamp is brilliant, if you want to lvl a affliction warlock you will gain som special abilities directly when you lock to one tree, so imo it's the next best thing.

- The stats, ratings replaced with rating gains on e.g agi.

- Tanks don't need to stack defense rating anymore and be as lycky as Druids always been.

I'm really looking forward to the new lore.... Seeing how everything has changed is what got me in Cataclysm. I'm especially interested in the development of the night elven story and also the new tension between the horde has great potential of turning into a great story. There's also the new stuff ... Deathwing and the aspects going all out on eachother... atleast i hope that's going ot happen. Another thing is the nostalgic return to the old world... harder content less handholding and really that's about it!
