World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Goblin Starting Zone Preview

Garrett Fuller recently had the chance for a hands on look at the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm. In his first hand look, Garrett takes a look at the new Horde allies: The scrappy Goblins. They may be small but they pack the attitude of an Orc.
There are those on the Horde side who are unhappy with the Goblins as our new found allies in Cataclysm. There are others who cannot wait to get back at the Alliance and their annoying little Gnomes running around giggiling. After playing the Goblin opening zone for a while, it looks like the Horde will eventually be happy with these scrappy little merchants who can play any class except Paladin and Druid. The Goblins are fun and offer a new race to the Horde

Well in truth, who wouldn't want a new class every time new races are implemented.
But with the whole scope of Cataclysm, it might have just been a bit too much for Blizzard.
Playing: LoL x3
Played: RS, WoW, SWG, TR, Aion, AoC, EVE, SWTOR
Watching: FireFall, GW2
i would rather see a new class then 2 new races. we already have 10 races, i think that's plenty for now.
No matter how much we all want new classes, this will definitely make balances even more difficult..
Though I always wanted to have worgens on Horde side, I cant stop thinkin about my undead rogue running through the barrens in a goblin hotrod... 8)
err il try out this expansion and renew my account for a month. il try a worgen but just saying wow is going to be ripped apart from the new games coming out mostly old republic and guild wars. like the guy above me said WoW is trying to apeal to the new user which they have failed over and over. It is not the game play that is stopping new people from playing it is the sheer size of it and you have to be pro as soon as you join your you will have a minimum of fun. There might be some people that help you out but the main reason i quit because of the bordem and the fact that everyone wants the best of everything in a raid or pug. Compitetion is too high i might just go with FF or old republic because they will be new releases and everyone would be on the same lvl of game play as me, plus they are popular titles and will have minimal compitetion cause they are new.
So what class do u want a fucking marine or something? There are only so many classes you can have, or you can pretend to have lots of classes, which are infact just mirror classes like in war. Are u going to say a barbarian?, or a kung fu fighter? or what tell me what classes cna be added to make any difference or differenciate them. You think blizzard dont think about this constantly? they have some of the cleverest people in the video games industry and you dont think they think about classes and adding new ones?
I guess killing 50 bears is for the pros right?
Killing 50 bears when there are only 5 on the map and 10 other people want to do that quest, THAT is the only right way to do quests for pros. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a noob.
Hey, you kow what we could do to make it easier. Just inta-port to the quest giver after each compeltion; no more running, no more mounts.
Hey you know what we could do to make it easier, Just talk to the quest giver and you can insta-complete the quest; no more running, no more mounts, no more insta-ports.
Hey, you know what we could do to make it easier, just to talk to the quest giver and insta-cap; no more running, no more ounts; no more insta-porting, nor more leveling.
Hey you know what we could do to make it easier, just talk to the quest giver and insta-gear cap; no more running, no more mounts, no more insta-ports, no more leveling, no more gear grind.
hey you know what we could do to make it easier, just download the game and insta-blue screen; no more running, no more mounts, no more insta-ports, no more lelveling, no more gear grind, no more game.

New classes are awesome, yes... however each 1 of WOW's classes is really like 3 compared to other games. A feral druid is SOOO different from a restoration druid. Like I said, in other games they'd be seperate classes.
They have enough to do in Cataclysm, a new class isn't needed.
Warcraft3 and its plethora of Hero Classes says hi2u.

Im just glad that darkshore is going to change i always wanted to love that place just never could... but i dont play anymore.. i never really got into WoWs raid... it is lame... always having some stupid gm yelling at me to hit harder... im a f@$#ing arm warrior i cant do more damage... but SWTOR or Tera... or Rifts... look alot better than WoW... I just hate how every game has to have balance classes... whats the point of have different classes if they are so even... I want my big ass Warrior to kick a rogue in the face with one shot... there weak and im strong.. the end. WoW does has it own fell to it.. that every other game took... but there world will always hold a place in my heart. But alast I need a new world that look pretty and evil.. and more realy to pull me in..
I enjoyed this retort, spot on.
it bring snothing new, only the new/altered zones.
You level to lvl 10 and start doing instance boosting and you'll be 80+ in no time, then you're off staying in a sanctuary 99% of you ronline time waiting in the LFD line.
"going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win"
I am more amazed that they can get away with implementing Warhammer-Goblins than anything else, how do they do that? (provided that others do file a lawsuit for having a mini-game during the loading screen).
look how well mcDonalds are doing! All they do is feed the community crap, but as long as the flavouring tastes right, the suckers just keep coming in
WoW is replacing quest? and no more lvl requirments for racial mounts? where is that info confirmed? link please. granted I don't dig for Cata info, but this is new to me.
happyfarts you sound like you have the world figured out.
BTW the McDonald's analogy is terrible and really, really unoriginal and old.

Wow is failingto attract new users? I guess they've failed just over 11 million times then.
NEW users. Not existing users. They've been stagnant for a long time. Though being stagnant with 11 million users isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Looking at this preview, I'm kind of wary now about the new expansion, or at least the goblins. I enjoy a bit of light-heartedness every now and then in the game, but this seems a little out of touch with what the Warcraft history has led me to think about it. Is there any hint of seriousness to the goblin story, or is it a WoW Sports Resort until they get taken into the meat of the expansion itself?
I'm going to keep watching and see what else surfaces. These are just my comments brought up from reading the article.
I was really excited about cata until this realID junk jumped off. I am an avid forum user, but I will not allow my real name to be displayed on there. I will be looking elsewhere for my entertainment.
Pussy troll! :-X
Pretty cool review. I agree that they need to add a new class. A martial class would be cool,one that focuses on hand ot hand weaponns more so than the Rouge/War/shammy do.
lol wut? This is what blizzard has come up with for the horde? Some stupid goofy looking goblins? lmao.... I just can't take myself seriously anymore in that game, god let that wow clone swtor come out so I can go play that one instead.
