Deathwing Shirt Hints at Cataclysm Classic Announcement at BlizzCon 2023

Recommended Posts

Blizzard has put up a Deathwing-themed shirt for sale in the Blizzard Gear Store ahead of BlizzCon 2023. Could the shirt potentially hint at a Classic Cataclysm announcement?

Blizzard now sells a Deathwing black t-shirt on the Blizzard Gear Store for $35. One of the images even has the BlizzCon logo in it.

With only Phase 5 left for Wrath Classic, many probably wonder what's next in store for Classic. The next chapter happens to be Cataclysm and BlizzCon's just around the corner.

Are there many people so eager to play Cataclysm again? It's usually regarded as one of the worst expansions.

Cata was really underrated but had the major World Revamp Neltharion aka Deathwing was really masterpiece from the books . I would play that instead WOTLK  Everyone was like "oh Lich king  dead wow is over, no more" in cata.

Exactly my reaction.    If you keep going forward at some point it's hard to call it "classic".    And Cata definitely suffered with the amount of time they spent on world revamping vs. other stuff, and where the story really went off rails in places, etc.

In so far as how the hype compared to the actual product, no expansion ever disappointed on the level of Cataclysm.  The trailer was badass AF and made Deathwing seem like the most incredible, amazeballs pure BOSS that we'd ever have the privilege to face -- someone to rival or even surpass the Lich King.  What we actually got though is a whiny, sniveling, petty, immature, poorly voiced, astoundingly obnoxious, pieced together brat of a dragon who forced us to pop his back acne and paint his toenails.  Never have I felt so freakin' let down in the history of the game.  It still angers me to think of it.  And yes I did say poorly voiced, because he was.  I don't care what other accolades that voice actor has, because he absolutely sucked pure donkey ballz with Deathwing.  The character is unequivocal, pure unadulterated obnoxiousness incarnate.

Yeah, it doesn't have the same following as TBC and WotLK had. I also don't remember it having any great mechanics, playing my class during this expansion felt rather annoying (also something personal, my original guild and my old server died during Cata, game became like a solo experience, no pugs, even capitals barely had any players there so I decided to take a break).

I hated both Deathwing fights, annoying mechanics!

Sounds like this is the Blizzard incident for Blizzcon this year. Instead of releasing classic+ they go with Cataclysm, seems like a terrible choice and is highly possible.

If they were to release it there may only be one server for it not multiple.  Same for MoP, WoD, and Legion.  Just 1 server to do a slow expansion release to give players some ounce of nostalgia and something to stay subbed by monthly.

It's WoW playerbase you're talking about. They'll be whining and complaining about thing even if those are good. 

As it is, Cata's first half was pretty good, Cho'gall and Ragnaros being among my favorite bosses, it's the tail end where thing started to go south. Plus the (in)famous 5-man dungeons at the beginning of the expansion where suddenly "pull 10 packs and AoE" stopped working - you can say Blizzard probably started to think up of a better way to make 5-ppl more intreresting whith all the whining, so the next expasion we got Challenge Mode, and one more later - M+.

Cata sucked. The final Deathwing fight was horrible and even today it is a pain to try and complete.

Deep Freeze on a frost mage on a boss and see absolute crazy dmg. Hearing Nefarian satire comments in Blackwing Decent on boss kills to. His experiments raid is defo idea form 10.1 Raid today. Getting blasted and killed by Deathwing in Uldum leveling up, To actually seeing his scale was nuts! It's not the worst expansion in my opinion.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
