Crix's Interview with Clayton Stone and Linny Cooke
Cataclysm Classic
Dungeons & Raids
Blizzard is happy with the decision to release the Cataclysm raids in their post-nerf state. They say that the challenge level they have landed on is a better fit for more players compared to the pre-nerf difficulty.
The devs still want feedback on raid difficulty and are open to making future raids (namely the Firelands raid) more difficult if that is what players want.
There are still no plans to implement Looking For Raid during Cataclysm Classic.
There are currently no plans for Dungeon modes similar to M+ in Cataclysm Classic, but they are considering difficulties similar to Alpha/Beta/Gamma Dungeons from Wrath Classic in later Phases.
Class Tuning & Gear Acquisition
While there are no plans to change Class Tuning from Patch 4.3.2, the developers are willing to balance any outliers in case they crop up.
There is currently no official announcement regarding increased loot drops or Valor gain, but we can expect more communication on this topic soon.
Similarly, there might be changes to PvP Gear acquisition, but no word on what that would entail.
Archeology
With the hot topic of the Archeology grind, the developers are considering how a "Bad Luck Protection" mechanic might impact players. There will be nothing implemented before launch, and maybe not even before Raids open, but they are considering it.
Phase Cadence & Communication
The plan for Phase lengths is to keep each Phase at a similar pace, but they want to ensure that players have adequate time to enjoy each Phase. They are willing to adjust the cadence as needed based on player feedback.
Because players have enough experience to "race through" Classic content, Blizzard decided to go with a faster pace compared to previous Classic expansions.
Blizzard hopes to bring more, and earlier communication regarding Cataclysm Classic in the future.
Season of Discovery
Because they don't want to take away items and gear that players have earned on SoD characters, or diminish what they have accomplished, the developers don't feel that transferring these characters to either Classic Era or Cataclysm servers is the right thing to do.
Similarly, they do not want to delete the characters or SoD servers. Clayton wanted to assure players that they would continue to have access to their Season of Discovery characters even after the Season ends.
Mists of Pandaria
Blizzard currently has no announcement to make regarding Mists of Pandaria Classic.
However, any potential future version of MoP Classic will be different from WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. Linny confirmed that they want to stay true to the original MoP experience.
