The reveal trailer for the new expansion for main WoW got about 1 dislike for every 6 likes, while the reveal trailer for WoW Classic's Cataclysm expansion got about 1 dislike for every 4 likes. This new video for WoW Classic is sitting at 32 likes for every dislike, hugely more positive. Seems like people were largely worried that Cataclysm would be forced on them in WoW Classic, and since many old WoW fans felt like Cataclysm was the expansion that started WoW's decline, they were understandably worried that Cata would destroy WoW Classic just as it destroyed WoW. Now that we know vanilla WoW Classic will be maintained separately from Cata WoW Classic, I guess people are much less worried. Also helps that they are making some needed changes to Cata for Classic which will make it a better experience than it was originally in main WoW. Xbox really needs to get WoW and WoW Classic onto Xbox somehow, would love to get back into it again after more than a decade, but my PC doesn't even meet the minimum requirement anymore. |
In Chris Metzen we trust! I'm not too worried about the new trilogy of expansions. The worst received expansions for WoW like Mists of Pandaria, Battle for Azeroth, and Shadowlands, Chris didn't have any involvement in, so I trust he'll be able to turn the franchise around now that he's Creative Director over the Warcraft universe.
Cataclysm definitely started out strong at release, but as more content was added is when players started to turn sour. Still the sickest box art in the games history imo lol. I personally wasn't a fan of how much Blizzard changed the landscape of the game with Cataclysm and the Dungeon Finder. The game started to feel like an automated experience with that feature. It would be great if we're eventually able to get to the point to where Blizzard has servers available for every expansion, but that's a fever dream lol.
As long as the traditional vanilla WoW experience remains untouched with Hardcore and Seasonal servers for vanilla WoW remaining separate experiences, the playerbase will be happy. It's funny how many love that original experience.
Bruh, is your PC a potato????
