How would you update Exodar/Silvermoon City?

Me, I’d have the Draenei probably with gnomish help figure out a way to get the giant spaceship out of the earth and floating. Fix up a lot of the damage and turn it into a paragon of Draenei civilization as it seems they are here to stay.

Silvermoon, fix that giant gap that split the city. Maybe replace all the Fel burning crystals to reflect that they aren’t relying on Fel anymore.

Most important, enable flight.

Well not to be controversial, but I would allow flying in both…

And update Silvermoon.

And retcon the lore to get rid of that ugly dead scar.

Nuke the latter from orbit.

Only way to be sure.

The exodar should be retired and they should create an actually city instead of living in a crashed naaru ship.

I have BIG plans for Silvermoon. They should fix the harbor and have ships that take you to org. There should be a barber shop, run by blood elves, and the city should be expanded to restore the city to it’s former size and glory, bridging across the deadscar.

Pretty much this.

They would both be better as smouldering craters.

Keep it the way it is, but after you hit level 70, it updates to a new more current lore version. Higher quality, A few Nightborne mingling with the sindorei. The scar is starting to show signs of healing, The damaged parts are repaired. Flying is enabled, the usual luxuries of main capitals. Maybe a barber that specializes in blood elves and has a couple extra unique hairstyles that can only be obtained from the silver moon barber (Would be cool for all races to have that in their racial city)

Since Draenei and Blood Elves are the floozie races of Azeroth, they should both get a Vaudeville type city with endless performing stages to strut their stuff off with feather boas :wink:

I don’t think it can heal. When you do quests in Eversong, an ambitious blood elf botanist is trying to repair the damage and it turns out it’s actually getting worse. Can’t remember the name of the quest off the top of my head, but she’s near the deadscar outside the city so I’m sure you could find her if you check out the zone.

The Exodar’s core Naaru should go critical and the Draenei should evacuate to the Vindecaar. When the former explodes, the Vindecaar could crash in Elwynn forest and become the Draenei district of Stormwind.

As for Silvermoon, with the deadscar advancing rapidly the Sin’dorei would be forced to employ the Shal’dorei in a teleportation experiment to relocate the Sunwell. They warp it to Durotar and then start reconstruction off Orgrimmar’s south gate. With the Sunwell and the wild druid energies still surging to the west, life springs forth in the barrens and a jungle follows.
Boom, Orgrimmar gets an appealing facade from the south, the Elves get to start incorporating their architecture into the greater Horde design, and the area is already prepped for flight. Ditto for Draenei.

More triangles. Higher resolution textures.

It would be cool if after you finished the starting zone you had a condensed scenario summarizing the end of the burning crusade expansion. Then the new, updated cities would be visible.

That’s the problem. A botanist instead of a druid :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Mana bomb Exodar from existence, send supplies and peons to repair silvermoon, and mages to create a portal to Orgrimmar now that Lordaeron is basically chernobyl.

as a true update I would make them part of the world not different zones. Then I would add player housing in the areas that were repaired and call it a day.

The Exodar was repaired in the Velen short story, so would be nice to see it with less gaping holes and shattered crystals everywhere. Maybe show the clean up after the Legion invasion and things.

Silvermoon, definitely repair the Dead Scar through the city. Maybe take down the giant Kael’thas statues already.

Have Kerrigan and the Zerg wipe out every major city on Azeroth within 5 minutes of invading Azeroth.
These two cities become major hubs because Kerrigan never finds them. No NPC ingame actually has directions.

Delete them both to cause some actual faction tension

My ideas for the exodar and the surrounding isles to to update it to be like AU shadowmoon valley. odysseus’ landing would be turned into a full alliance naval base with a small fleet docked or sitting in the harbor.

The exodar itself would be fixed up more. The docks would be expanded to loop around it much like the karabor harbor with ships going to various locations such as one to stormwind, one to menethil harbor, and one to boralus. Possibly another if gilneas is ever updated.

For silvermoon the entire city needs to be remade. tear down a lot of the walls. Make a port on the northern side of the city that links to places in kalimdor.

Both of these changes would be on top of bringing their updated zones into the actual old world servers. azuremyst would be an island chain off the coast on kalimdor that anyone can fly to or just take the ships or portals. quel’thelas would be connected to the plaguelands after doing some terraforming with the mountains and creating a mountain pass to travel through on foot or just fly.

It wouldn’t even be hard. Just copy and past for the most part and then update from there. The old zones can be kept intact for players that are starting a new draenei or blood elf character.

I’d be willing to sacrifice a raid tier to update Exodar and Silvermoon to other major city status. :wink:

Fix upthe other half of Silvermoon to be a mix of Nightborne/Blood Elf aesthetics and a place for magic users (both Elves, Forsaken?) to advance their studies. Basically the Horde version of Dalaran.
