Dornogal was a literal hole in the ground.

depends on what you mean worst, worst design, worst optimized, worst looking.
Other then the optimization i think itās decent not the best but far from worst.

Oh if weāre talking about prettiness and artwork - I think it looks fantastic. Iām mostly discussing intuitiveness and navigation.

I can never find anything in Orgrimmar. For me it is still peak terrible city design, and piss ugly to boot. Itās like an overgrown murloc encampment that got sacked by Huns and then rebuilt by drunk goblins.

I mainly play Horde, but have a handful of Alliance characters and I can never find my way around Stormwind. While I like the looks of the city, its way to confusing for me. LOL

I donāt mind silvermoon. Thereās probably things that I donāt know are there but itās whatever.
Boralus was peak, though.

People forgot the Shrines in MoP exist I guess. Also the WoD camps lol.
Will say, their modern city design seems to be trying to emulate Suramar in a lot of ways, but without the talent to pull it off. Obviously the majority of the art team has cycled over since Legion, and the replacements are nowhere near that level.
Weāll get cities that are āgoodā but theyāre usually empty. Lots of dead space, unused areas, and generic NPCs. Feel like this was most evidence in Dornogal and current Silvermoon.

SMC isnāt great, not the worst though.
I think Undercity and Oribos are the worst, 2 circle cities, hate them both.
I mained an Undead Priest for 10 years, still got lost in that hell hole UC.
Daz was annoying, looked good though, but pales in comparison to Boralus.

omg what aā¦omg
No, dude. Oribos was by far the worst hub city weāve ever had. That place was one of the biggest headaches this game has ever had.

Oribos. The design was ok, but the implementation of it was horrible. One way ports, no mounting, ugh.

this is the only clear winner

IMHO the worst city is Oribos. You canāt fly. Silvermoon is an amazing redesign. Absolutely captured the essence of the blood elf opulence. I appreciate all the little things that Silvermoon has. The details are absolutely amazing. There are things that I donāt like, such as itās missing stuff that old Silvermoon hasā¦guild hall being one of them.
Undercity is a close second to the worst, merely because itās very claustrophobic. But the layout makes sense.
Thunderbluff is a close third because they removed the portals and itās so far off the beaten path.
Daz isnāt even in the running, IMO. Yeah, it is spread out, but you have portals. The only thing that irks me about Daz is that the flight whistle takes you closer to the docks instead of how it originally wasā¦the portals.
Editā¦the Exador is tied for second. Itās technically a capital city, but itās not treated as one. Thatās sad.
Second edit: after considerationā¦Daz is a close third.

I donāt know about the worst, but the Sanctum of Light should have the highest piece of architecture visible from anywhere on the ground.

It was a long run to get anywhere. I completely blocked that from my memory.
Editā¦ok Daz is is a close third on my list.

Worst? No, in Shadowbane there was a city that had the stairways to the ramparts on the outside of the city so that the enemy could bring trebuchets up there and destroy the entire city while leaving the walls up.
