There is so much good lore/history in the WoW story without having to add new "hidden" continents every single expansion.....I think people would love new reasons to stay in Kalimdor/Eastern Kingdoms/Outland etc, I mean why cant you just introduce a new "big bad" or villains that set up shop in Silithus or Arathi, etc would also give them agency to rework the old zones
@eboethrasherАй бұрын
That's coming up, if you had watched Metzen's introduction of the World Soul Saga at Blizzcon last year. One of the expacs takes place on Azeroth proper. But new zones are cool. The last true expac to take place in Azeroth was Cata and nobody wants that again.

Classic WoW was the closest a video game has ever come to the original style and feel of DnD, and that’s what I loved so much about it. It was an incredible open ended grind, but the sense of accomplishment when you completed a goal, was amazing. And doing it with a dedicated group of like minded people in guild was even better. And yes, a part of me would love to feel that again. But that time has passed. The game is different, and to be fair, I’m different too. I can’t play the game the way I did 15-20y ago. Just like how I’m not 15 with a players handbook, a bag of dice, and a 2L of Mt. Dew in my friends basement any more either. The moment has passed. Modern WoW isn’t bad. The combat is very good, many quality of life changes have been made that make playing casually much easier. The stories and style went woke and nearly broke the game. Not gonna lie, it was brutal to watch. But at its core, WoW is still the best of its genre. And if we get a new dungeon master (or perhaps an old one comes back *wink) who tells more stories like “dragon bad, assemble team, go kill” instead of “let’s examine the dragons feelings and see where we might have crossed his boundaries”, I think WoW can recapture much of its former glory. I’m looking forward to seeing if this X-pac is the one to do it.

I mean, I get it, but you helped those groups when you were already helping them, you were considering them, of course they would let you help them. Then, when you choose someone else, that would of course be seen as an insult thanks to the mistrust between the factions in Shadowlands. It isn't even that hard to understand the way it works. So many people are just aping Asmon chat and calling Anduin a puss because they have never experienced PTSD. I hope they get to understand it some day, the hard way. People are really just aholes and don't stop to think about things, they just want to pile on memes. Then again, a large majority of people replying are 3heads.

If you care about story, you cant just let past go yourself. I dont think that will work what preach want to do, forgetting the past is like watching lord of the rings but only return of the king. The one who must let past go is blizzard and make wow 2, because they stuck with those old characters what old wow players dont like those character(they are memes like preach said) and new player cant care about them because new player expirience suck and there is no way to expierience old stories in game to know those character.

Okay so I'm gonna say it. One of the biggest issues with WoWs story is that its average target audience are too dumb to grasp a good story. And Blizzard has to cater to that. Often people can't grasp the simple concept that the ingame characters don't have access to WoWhead and datamining. Spend an hour in Taliesins twitch chat during lore discussions. It's an interesting interaction between two kinds of consumers It's absolutely rediculous.
