Pre par nedelje, korisnici na zvaničnom Cataclysm forumu žalili su se što Maelstrom ne izgleda dovoljno epic, izgled je bio prosto jednostavan. Valnoth, (WoW Lead World Designer Alex Afrasiabi), navodno se složio sa ovim i odgovorio na sledeći načim:

the waters and Arthur Fonzarelli jumping across it with water skis. And
dinosaurs. [...] After reading this post I called for a meeting with TOP TOP MEN (that's two tops) in order to figure out a solution to the problem at hand. Frankly, I think we hit a home run. The next 4.0 build (or the one after) should have a Maelstrom that's between 10 - 50x more epic than what currently exists.
