Cataclysm Closed Beta Key Contest!Follow

What excites me most about Cataclysm is the graphics overhaul. Players who have a more high-end computer will notice how much better the game's graphics got when Ulduar was released. I'm still amazed when I go into Ulduar--especially Algalon's room--with my graphics settings on ultra. The graphics overhaul can only make things better. I've always been a huge fan of blizzard's art, especially on their cinematics, and from the very limited amount of Cataclysm I've seen, it looks as if it's one giant leap in the right direction! That's probably the biggest thing I'm looking forward to, but of course the brand new content is a very close 2nd. ;-)

I'm looking forward to many things, revamped Azeroth, the use of phasing. Also, talent trees, some look very interesting, pali revamp with holy power looks awesome, also what's going down with the tank classes, notably druid, pali, and DK my preference, which definitely peeks interest in the healing changes. Also the unique 5 mans and mechanics that will be implemented and used boss fights, mobs, and bringing back CC brings a smile to my face. 10 man raids definitely look appealing more so than now and with the healing change and mana intensive fights are going to bring challenge and skill into the equation more. Look forward to the new races, the underwater zones and layout/mechanics of that. Most of all I look forward to good/hard challenges. Good Luck everyone!!

I am looking foward to leveling my 3 80s up to 85, and then spend time trying to use energy on my hunter and get used to the casted aimed shot. im also looking foward to see the new areas that we can quest in and how the landscape has changed.

I have been playing World of Warcraft for nearly 6 years now, and I must say, that it has been a rough experience. I have had my moments, where I am extremely successful in the game, I have a ton of fun, I meet great friends that I keep for quite a while, but it's not only good things that this game has brought to my life. There are times when I just want to leave this game and never look back at it, there are times when I don't have fun or enjoy myself playing, but I always seem to pull through due to the extremely challenging and addictive nature of this well crafted game. Another fact that always pulls me in are the well done expantion packs. I'm not going to lie, TBC was awesome, and WoTLK was very good but not really as good as TBC. Now, to be extremely honest, when I saw that Cataclysm was announced, I nearly pee'd myself in amazement as to what they were going to do with the game. I saw, new zones, new races, a compleatly NEW low level experience from start to finish, new talents, new class/race combos and the list went on, and on. I thought to myself this expantion was going to be one of the most antecipated game releases ever to grace the video game market, and I think I am right. This expantion will give every player, even those without all the expantion, A BRAND NEW EXPERIENCE. I think that is the BEST feature of this expantion, being an avid World of Warcarft player since 2005. We're not only getting an expantion, oh no, we're getting a BRAND NEW GAME, with extremely well thought out changes to the zones we once loved, but I think we all agree are getting stale and kind of boring. I can gaurantee for myself, I am going to enjoy the hell out of this expantion, more so than any others, just because I feel I am getting a whole new game, a whole new experience, a whole new world, that will FOR SURE, keep me hanging on to this game even though I have had my boring and stale moments with it, I am sure those will go away for a mighty long time once this game comes out. Sorry for the big wall of text, but I really couldn't express really how genuinly excited I am for this game.

I'm really looking forward to all the new elemental shaman changes! finally it won't be such a boring rotation, and bringing back some old lore will be great as well..I would also like to try out the hunter changes and see all the new pets for myself =)

The thing I am more excited about Cataclysm is the amount of QQ that will come from the pink department of paladins due to the new Holy Power mechanics.

The thing I am looking foward to most with Cataclysm is the lore. I have always been a big fan of the lore in WoW and to see some of that lore coming to life like seeing Neptulon, entering Grim Batol, and other such things really has me excited.

I've been playing a druid since I started WoW 4+ years ago. I've been balance (& restoration dual spec) throughout WotLK, and I am very excited to see the new changes to those aspects of the class. Before it was all about balancing the eclipse talent, but now that Moonkins are getting 3 new abilities to use in the class, I cannot wait to see how that all plays out!!!

I want to be a good beta tester and find all the model issues or bugs like the seizure pony(the Death Knight Mount in the wrath beta). I also want to have fun and help make the game better.

I'm excited about the rogue class changes: not only of our new abilities such as smoke screen (or whatever that does that prevents ranged attacks from hitting friendly designated party members in arena) and also the new talent changes that should make both sub and assassination more viable.

More importantly, the new changes to vanish being that once a rogue vanishes he cannot be knocked out of stealth for 3 sec. So, you have no way to stop me sapping after blind. Have fun QQing

I look forward to play through all the changed zones so i can see how the war goes for the Alliance. Everyone seems to belive that the Alliance just lose but i dont belive that they lose more than the Horde.

I'm really excited about the new changes to the old world and how they'll truly open up the world from a technical perspective. What I mean is how they are planning to move around mountains and zones, and what they will do with filler space (That can be seen from several exploration techniques (IF, hello)). It will also be really interesting to see the landscape changes but I must say, my biggest question has to be what Skywall will be like. That place looks downright epic.

I'm a huge alt-o-holic, and I'm looking forward to doing every single new quest that Blizzard is adding... Heck, I might even train another toon up to Loremaster!

I'll definitely be leveling another Rogue, too. My main is a Rogue, but looking back at all the mistakes I made 3 years ago, I want to go back and do it again, doing it RIGHT!

And all the new zones... All the new dungeons... Cataclysm info is giving me an eGasm!
