Notable Differences Between Cataclsym Classic 4.4.0 and Original Cataclysm 4.0.3a

Cata Posted 2024/04/29 at 8:03 PM by PopularTopular

As Deathwing approaches, we want Classic progression players to know about some features from original Cataclysm (4.0.3a) that are going to differ in the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch (4.4.0).Hunter PetsHunter pets will function differently in the 4.4.0 Cataclysm Classic Pre-patch than they did in original Cataclysm patch 4.0.3a.In original Cataclysm, Hunter players were able to place 5 pets in their stable and summon them anywhere in the world.Initially in patch 4.4.0, Hunter pets will work the same way they do in Wrath Classic. Hunters will continue to be able to summon 1 pet and will need to go to a Stablemaster to switch to a different one. We will update this Hunter functionality with the Cataclysm Classic expansion content launch (or sooner).Additionally, original Cataclysm launched with Pet Aggressive stance, and Pet Assist stance later replaced Pet Aggressive stance in patch 4.2.0. We plan to have Pet Aggressive stance in place with 4.4.0, and then add Pet Assist stance in a future update.Void StorageVoid Storage was originally added to World of Warcraft in the 4.3.0 patch. In Cataclysm Classic, we’re implementing a new Collections feature, as well as account-wide Transmogrification. This makes Void Storage largely unnecessary for holding your Transmog items.It is our intention to not add the Void Storage feature to Cataclysm Classic.Guild PerksThe Guild Perks system has been streamlined for Cataclysm Classic. Guilds themselves do not gain levels, and item rewards are granted as players level up their guild reputation. In Cataclsym Classic, many perks are granted to guild members immediately upon joining a guild, and many perks that were associated with Guilds in original Cataclysm are now granted to all players by default.Two perks from original Cataclysm will not be available in Cataclysm Classic: Have Group, Will Travel and Cash Flow.Guild Finder and Guild Events CalendarIn original Cataclysm patch 4.1.0, a Guild Finder system and a Guild Events Calendar were added to World of Warcraft. We intend to add the Guild Finder and the Guild Events Calendar to Cataclysm Classic in a future patch, after the launch of Cataclysm content.Barbershop Closed Temporarily for WorgenAt the start of pre-patch, Worgen will not be able to access the Barbershop. Access will arrive in an update soon.Increased Drops in Wrath Classic DungeonsAs detailed here, these increased drop rates for Wrath Classic dungeons will continue throughout the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch (and possibly thereafter).

Comment by ErorBoyWhat about the dungeons? Are we getting pre-nerf or nerfed?
When will raids open?
Can we get the epic archeolgy items in pre-patch already cause they only need 450 skill to be discovered?
What about the Beta and every class still having massive bugs like not being able to Crit etc...Comment by GolgorothThoroughly disappointing. Regardless of the design intent, players use Void Storage for more than just transmog items. Things like seasonal items can't be transmogged, and this time we've gone in with much better knowledge around vanity/aesthetic items that get removed so the amount of things players want to keep is way higher. Also just because Transmog exists doesn't mean we necessarily want to delete items that CAN be transmogged. I kept my tier sets in retail because they meant something to me, and I intend to do the same here. Such a crap decision.Comment by WunMoreTimeYikes...Comment by jnightrainhttps://www.wowhead.com/news/hunter-class-updates-in-cataclysm-151953

4.0, Hunters had an expanded stable. Why is Blizzard lying?Comment by Gazagoblini dont get it, whats the bad news ?Comment by AlthyrFeels like they're trying to walk back on the auction house update by being hush hush about it. Sad, I was really looking forward to it...Comment by Gazagoblinif u having the "hoarder mindset, then u need to get some sun ^^Comment by CarlBarkerThis isn't a list of differences. It's mostly a list of things not ready for release. Not implementing void storage is extremely questionable.Comment by JainasIf I hadn’t play the beta I would have said ok fair enough but after playing it I know these changes were not intended they are just too buggy and not ready for release.

Btw guys on prepatch day you gonnna have fun if some remember cataclysm exploits they will probably be thereComment by zoobisblizzard seems to have forgotten that people still use void storage in retail to this day, I myself an a very sentimental person and have used it for items that have a story behind them such as:
- every big drop that I was stoked to get at the time.
- the pvp set I wore the first time I got glad.
- that darkmoon card with intellect that I created and equipped by accident as a Ret / Prot pally.
- the first purple cloak my gf crafted for me while we were still leveling
...and many more. but sure blizzard, pretend you're not implementing this feature because of reasons other than saving dev hours for a launch you rushed. pretend that it's only being used for transmog even though in the original feature preview you described void storage as a "location in which to store important keepsakes including treasured armor sets, unique quest rewards, and gifts from friends, as well as other valuable items they've collected on their journeys throughout Azeroth."Comment by rafeyWhat is void storage ?Comment by BloodyBajazGood changes,there is enough gold in the game without that perk.Comment by HaelsynnTwo perks from original Cataclysm will not be available in Cataclysm Classic: Have Group, Will Travel and Cash Flow.

Why remove a quality of life advantage and another which generates a low gold profit but while leaving the GDKP authorized?

We're going to have to stop hiring people who just graduated from clown school.Comment by CrimsonDawn1Honestly based on the state of beta we will be lucky to get a working Cata pre patchComment by NotNorthstriderLmao, they are essentially cutting features they couldn't finish in time and call it 'intentional'.Comment by GreyrainAll these people complaining over nothing. The hunter pets and the Worgen barbershop are the only real problems. Void storage is pointless and the guild changes are fine. Will cut out the dead end scum guilds. “I want to save my rare item”. You know that the rare item in your bag and the transmog in the collections tab is literally exactly the same thing right? It is 2d pixels in an icon that generates a 3d model on your character. You hanging on to it in your bag is your own psychology messing with you. Wait for the transmog collections tab and then delete it, you’ll feel better.Comment by ikechiStill no single mention of the pre-patch event - meaning it is going to run after all?Comment by ned71crohunter pets like in WoD always a problem, looks like there are not many dev's who can handle the pets issues :DComment by ned71croand HOW ABOUT PERSONAL LOOT, when is that feature coming ?Comment by FrancoportoSo Blizzard is just saying "We were bad, we prefered working on Classic SoD, so we will find an excuse to not putting the correct Pet bar in the game yet"

Also no Pre patch event.

Blizzard you are so disgusting.
