C’mon guys be happy for ONCE in your pixels lives, nothing is enough? Its clearly work in progress and the first thing some says is that is bad… yeah they will not copy darnassus nor should they, its a new city.

Im predicting that there will be a Suramar-style series of portals around this location here

I’m assuming that they’ll be ships to Stormwind and Darkshore. Possibly the Exodar to replace the boat path from the city to Teldrassil.
Speaking of the Exodar, back in Legion Horde characters were visit for the quests defending it and the visit to reach Argus. Now from what I understand the “New Beginnings” chapter in the Emerald Campaign involves Amirdrassil after it emerged on Azeroth. So I can’t help but wonder if Horde players would be allowed to visit for the quest chain and then barred from the Alliance guards, afterwards, or just be allowed to visit whenever since we helped defend it.

it looks like a village
Where is the bank, the auction house, the temple, the different districts?

Cannot really say anything about that as there are no NPCs. The Island does not seem to be complete, which is why it likely kicks you out if you try to enter.

Even if there are no NPCs, the buildings generally have signs or architecture that makes them appear as what they are supposed to be. Remove all the NPCs from Valdraken and you can probably tell what sort of NPCs are supposed to appear where.
Well, if you’re expecting a bank and an auction house, I would probably get a head-start on the 7 stages of grief.

I lived through BFA. I have had a head start already, point is this isn’t a new capital city, its just an asset dump.

So they did nothing with the actual tree and its branches.

I mean the leaves are more purple? Otherwise no… What were you expecting? From the start this was pretty obviously a Nordrassil style world tree, not a Teldrassil one.

Something like Lothlórien
This is just emerald dream with couple legion assets plopped down here and there.

It’s pretty questionable whether that expectation is reasonable or not

If I see low effort then I am going to call out low effort.
And this is low effort.
Unpaid fans do better crap than this in their private servers and I am meant to be impressed by this?

Seems like quite a bit of effort for a zone that is purely cosmetic in nature and has no gameplay significance whatsoever

I do not see low effort. They could of just copy pasta’d the emerald dream zone over. Instead they custom built a second zone map, and then modified it with buildings and paths. Were you expecting Suramar or something?
I do not understand why so many people on this forum are like negativity black holes.

Thats the problem isn’t it?
I was expecting at least a Darnassus equivalent, instead its something significantly smaller in both breath and content.
I could do this in a week part time in a private server, just use the draw tool to draw the path, plop down some assets and done.

Like ultimately people will go to Stormwind for the same reason they do now. It has all the portals, transmog, trading post. So the amenities are really whatever. But visually looks pretty cool. And really that’s the real use other cities serve these days.
Only thing I would have really, really liked is redoing the old bear tree of the bank.

Is it really though? They didn’t even have to do this to begin with. It’s just a nice little bonus. Expecting a full blown new city and zone after you finish the raid is a little unreasonable. The forsaken don’t have a proper city last time I checked. They’re just hanging out in the courtyard above the undercity.
