Hey there, I’m a returning player after an absence for most of BFA. I haven’t heard a ton about plans for Shadowlands other than the allied race death knight changes and covenants.
Does anybody know if there are plans to reincorporate Legion Class Halls in the new expansion? I think they were really great concept and could really be fleshed out SL. Granted I would rather see it without a mission table, but I really preferred the Class Halls over the Garrison and the current hubs.
For better or worse, once the expansion is over, the features introduced such as the class hall are not revisited.
No
That was a legion only thing
Your “class hall” is the covenants
Thanks for the feedback. I thought I heard they were trying to move away from leaving content behind in future expansions but I might have just gotten bad info.
Please don’t let there be any mission table in Shadowlands…
No. You can get Covenant Sanctums in Shadowlands. Covenants are the rulers of the various planes of the afterlife, and you get to pick one you wish to support and they’ll allow you to spend your time in their halls.
They may return, mutated in some way. But yes, most features don’t live beyond one expansion.
Mission boards survived.
Legiondaries are coming back in a fashion.
Torghast feels like its an upgraded version of Horrific Visions.
Just three examples of things either surviving or being changed in some fashion and returning.
Sadly, I expect that’ll happen. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if they turn our Soul Binds into ‘champions’ or the like we send out to improve our standing with our chosen Covenant.
I hope so, I loved the class halls. Made you proud of your class
That is your wish? Very well. I believe it is granted! Congrats. Nothing for you to complain about any more.
( faint evil chuckle and reassuring wink to fellow mission table lovers )
Man. With how lazily they were introduced in BfA can you imagine what they would be in SL?
Not always.
“We heard the Lich Kings voice once before. It controlled us. We’re hearing it again and we stupidly trust that it has our best goals in mind.”
And then DKs go and do things that couldn’t even be called Morally Grey. Killing a Drake because “We want its power” and when it was raised, it was made clear the creature KNEW it was damned for all eternity.
Also there was the fact that the Class Hall Stories just … stopped. Shamans did all this work to build up the trust of the Elemental Lords and … that was it.
Sorry for Necro’ing the thread - but I think it’s an interesting discussion.
Returned to SL after a long hiatus, and levelling my main. Basically - is there any point in getting into the Class Halls? Most of the gear will be obsolete as soon as you start levelling in SL.
I find the story pretty interesting, but haven’t hit the end. Seems like a bit of a grind too. I’m split between my old Warlock main and my new Demon Hunter.
== John ==Personally I loved the lore behind the class halls and enjoyed going through them all. If you take out the missions required for class halls it’s really not that long of a questline probably less than a couple of hours total of quests and most of that being dungeon runs.
The Lore is great. I wonder if it’s the same thing with the Garrison stuff.
It’s a shame, really, that some of the gear couldn’t have a % bonus; then it would scale. Maybe not as much, but some. Then all of the old lore would still be explored. Most of the lower than max level areas are ghost towns.
