Shaka, when the walls fell
 that’s how I viewed the reclaiming. So much potential lost, and disappointing as a result.

This CC member puts into words perfectly what I was thinking with my post:

Continuing the discussion from Over 10 Years in the Making - The Ultimate Disrespect to the Worgen Community:

It feels so nonsense, I swear. It is a complete bloody joke.

The Worgen are severely in need in several upgrades. Let alone they haven’t done anything to the claw attack animation says it all. As a Worgen I would love to rip into the enemies as Warrior or Rogue. It’s one of the rare races, which is exclusive to the Alliance but they are treated as humans. It makes absolutely no sense.

Felt like there was about 2 weeks development time spent on it. About as much as I would expect.

LoL, I was going to say “here’s your 10 minutes of Content” now you have all this time (and you’re going to need it) for dragon racing.

Still need a dang flight point for Gilneas

Yup. Would have been better off just releasing a cinematic to tell this story.

Overall, the whole Gilneas/Worgen concept was shortchanged. As one of the main 7 kingdoms, Gilneas should be rivaling Stormwind and Kultiras in terms of scope. Can only hope it’ll be built up more now that it’s been “reclaimed”. But I doubt it.

As for Worgen as a race, I would have been more impressed if they actually resemble the worgens in the game. Anyone notice how worgen NPCs can leap into the air like they’re in a Woo Ping wushu film? Be nice if we could do that in addition to using race specific melee attacks, actually shape shift into a worg to run, and not be forced to shape shift during combat

We need more. Here’s my list:

  • Rename “Ruins of Gilneas” area to “Gilneas”.
  • Rename “Gilneas” banner in the city map to “Gilneas City”.
  • Add an Alliance City crest on the world map with the tag “Gilneas”.
  • Add ships to Stormwind and Bel’ameth from Keel Harbour and Stormglen Village respectively.
  • Add more NPCs throughout the zone: guards, patrols with hounds, hunters, fishers, traders, citizens, nobles

  • Add one or more of the following: Barber, auctioneer, guild bank, transmogrifier,
  • Add trade chat functionality within the city.
  • Open up houses and move / add vendors in the Merchant square to the homes.
  • Portals - at least to Stormwind, maybe Kul Tiras?

This is all I have from the top of my head
 but there’s always more than can be done IMO to expand, add depths and make city areas feel more vibrant, populated and useful. With that being said, it’s unlikely many more things will be added as it’s a Tier B City, or a Major outpost technically
 so most amenities will of course continue to be provided in Stormwind, Orgrimmar and the current xpak’s current-content hub. I hope we’ll see cities revitalized, and even expanded someday. The Seneschal NPCs at the Cathedral and Manor suggest the rebuilding has just begun – so I hope we’ll see more additions and expansions to the various cities in the WorldSoul Saga (probably in Midnight 12.0 with the confirmed Quel’Thalas revamp, or any time after really
). Cities are an important aspect of making the MMO world feel alive :slight_smile:

It felt more like them setting the stage for things down the line. Better than reading about it in a book, but it felt like a deliberate plot point to check off, than actual content.
The biggest win is getting the glasses.

Dragonflight has essentially the same exact amount of content shadowlands has in terms of actual worthwhile content
 adding a 30 minute quest line every few months doesn’t justify that
 we use to get meaningful content updates.

Yeah not anymore we don’t, this whole questline felt really rushed

It would take too many developer resources to make Gilneas into a proper capital city.

That or Genn and the Gilneans/Worgen are just that incompetent, which I wouldn’t put past them

Too many developper to just put a barber, auctioneer, guild bank, transmogrifier, flight point, teleport to Stormwind?

Are you sure about that to place 6 NPC ?

I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if this was the case knowing blizzard lol

If it’s so simple, you do it. :slight_smile:

I mean, they decided to wait like a decade and a half (thanks Dragonflight time skip) to reclaim their home, and that was after like seven years losing their second home, Teldrassil
