March 7, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. – Data miners are now digging up more and more information about Cataclysm Classic. The new edition of WoW's 3rd expansion may get a graphics update.
There were already signs last week that the WoW Cataclysm Classic Beta would be starting soon. Things are now becoming even more concrete and data mining for the classic new edition of WoW's 3rd expansion has begun. For example, signs of the Void Camp Cataclysm features, the transmog feature and the reforging feature have already been found.
The Cataclysm beta is getting noticeably closer. And apparently Cataclysm Classic gets one Grafik-Update. At least that's what the data miners speculate.
Graphics upgrade for Cataclysm or preparation for WoD Classic?
The data miners from WoW (buy now) Head found the following global strings in the game files:
NEW OPTION_TOOLTIP_UPREZ_GRAPHICS
uprez tooltip placeholder
NEW UPREZ_GRAPHICS
NEW! Uprezzed Graphics
With Cataclysm, half of Azeroth was devastated by Deathwing, which the developers used for a graphics update in these and some other zones. The strings discovered in the game files could also already be the revision for Character models in WoD anticipate.
In WoD (5th WoW expansion), among other things, the Worgen and goblin character models pimped up, the first with Cataclysm (two expansions before) came into play. You may want to throw the new races directly into the Classic version with a graphics upgrade or are already preparing them for WoD.
If the devs are already preparing for WoD Classic, that would be interesting. But so far these are just speculations. It could also simply be developer leftovers in the game files. Are you excited about Cataclysm Classic? Or do you have a little trauma from Cataclysm like some other players?
