Hey guys, what do you think would be some cool historic moments throughout the lore of WoW that’d be cool to playout in a CoT dungeon / raid?
For instance, some ideas are:
Stormwind and the Gnoll Wars
Pretty self explanatory title there, the major conflict fought between the relatively young and small Kingdom of Stormwind, and an unusually large unified faction of gnoll packs, around 75 years prior to the opening of the Dark Portal.
The war dragged on until King Barathen Wrynn of Stormwind made a daring and desperate gamble in launching a small, elite assault on the relatively undefended base of Packlord Garfang in Redridge Mountains. So we could be the heroes that accompany the King and help him take out Gnoll lieutenants before taking out the Packlord himself alongside the king.
The Aqir and Troll War
Given the scope of this war, you could lead a variety of content & themes for it.
From the Gurabashi, Drakkari or Amani trolls etc, taking the charge to take out prime forces and hunt the Aqir with great success.
The Fall of Shattrath
For this one, I think two dungeons would be cool:
Dungeon One — Where you play as Orcs, invading the city; the warchief commanding you to take out notable generals and defenders of the city so that they can advance further.
Dungeon Two — Set in a different place of the city, where you play as Draenei escorting survivors out of the city whilst slaying the ferocious hoards of orcs, take out various commanders and strive to a successful mission.
The Kaldorei Empire’s Collapse
Instance where you the surviving people, trecking the storm & consqueneces of the collapsing well-of-eternity (The Sundering) alongside Tyrande, Malfurion, Dath’remar Sunstrider and others.
Perhaps you could be one group and the conclusion of the dungeon could be uniting with the masses of others – Face off against a variety of threats on your way.
Raid – War between the titans and the Old Gods
Illusion granted to you would be that of the Titanforged
You fight some elemental lords, old gods and humble their immeasurable forces.
Fight, win, loot, receive cosmetics — Celebrate?
There’s plenty of interesting stories to derive from towards making in-game content, so feel free to share other historic moments you’d like to see or share your thoughts on the above concepts and so on
Yeah I gave your thread a like earlier when I saw it
I think Fall of Quel’Thalas could be interesting from the defending side, despite the result – Both up to the desecration of the Sunwell, and chasing the Scourge out shortly afterwards.
Hey Aussielight! I would be in favor of more dungeons in CoT. I would also love to move the “old version” of zones here and make them all current zones, so if you need the old version, Zidormi teleports you to the CoT instead of constantly needing to swap back and forth in the zone. CoT is very underutilized and your idea could create more activity there.
Besides an excuse to have another instance with King Anasterion in-game there are a couple extra characters who were there in some way (Shandris, Emmarel, that dark ranger captain in one of the BFA Alliance questlines are at least confirmed)
Also I think some of those could be fun to run on the defeated side, tbh.
A Caverns of Time fall of Quel’thalas would largely replicate the structure of the Blood Elf Heritage storyline so I could see why it would probably not make the cut (or why it could make sense for it to since the main thing it would need is, dare I hope, a pristine version of Eversong Forest - a lot of the NPCs already exist as ghosts)
Yeah, that’s why I didn’t include it into the original post.
However with Midnight around the corner, if they did it well – with enough effort, I think it could certainly fit the theme … That being said though, it may be a tad skeptical on whether or not they could do it justice.
I’d be mostly hella keen for the Fall of Shattrath, the pro-troll war and the titanforged war.
