Looking Ahead, What Does This Expansion Need?

Community General Discussion

If nothing were added between now and the next expansion, I’m sure there would be few subscribers remaining. I’m expecting at least a major content patch, then a “Timeless Isle/Tanaan Jungle” type of addition. Also, let’s say flying is added this summer as well.

Would those three things hold you over for the next year-and-a-half? If so, why, and if not, what else would you want?

I honestly don’t know if there is anything they could add… for me they need to return to form and that can’t happen in a patch nor I fear a single expansion.

I’ve already bailed. The systems that are in place are here to stay for the duration of the expansion. While they may tweek certain aspects, we’re stuck with how this expansion plays out at the core.

Going forward-- there’s little out there that suggest Blizzard will making any hard core changes starting with the next expasion. Which means, we’re likely to continue seeing these new systems in future content with minor tweaks in between.

I know an end to these giant 30-50% nerfs to classes would help. There is almost no reason to dedicate yourself to a main this expansion because you can be looking at 40% nerf that comes all willy nilly the next patch or “hotfix.”

Masterloot for guilds.
Allied races for dks.
Islands to be fun and not feel required.
Tier sets/class transmogs.
Less overpriced gold sinks/more gold given to us.
Allow us to pick our race for BoD.
Abilities off the gcd.
More class balance.

A new development team. A team that actually is involved with the community. Playing with us, making changes good for the game instead of spreadsheets, etc…

Really, this expansion probably would’ve been good, if the developers played the game and enjoyed it. Don’t know what happened between Legion 7.3.5 and now but whatever did, needs a 180* turn.

This expansion needs the WoD treatment. Merge 8.1.5 and 8.2 together, and refocus all resources on Team A’s next great contribution.

Things I would like to see added:

Alternative win conditions for Islands content (e.g. first to kill a specific boss (one for each side), defense against waves of attacks, treasure hunter, etc.)

Revamping the game mode for Warfronts and adding more world value to the results.

Using the new Warfront zones in the leveling process

Reducing the iLevel of world content rewards by 5-10 iLevels (e.g. Warfront Chest should award 390 instead of 400) to protect Normal and Heroic Raid progression.

Planned Azerite armor fix seems good.

Increase AP rewards for Mythic + and Raid content

That’s a good start =)

I haven’t played in awhile either. When they talked about being against pvp vendors and continuing with their current gearing system, I lost a lot of motivation to play this game. Currently playing FF XIV and I’m really excited for the new expansion coming out in July.

Devs that care…

The RNG is horrible and has been one of the biggest complaints pre 8.1 Doing raids and mythics multiple times to get… NOTHING!
Then to go into LFR and get drops that i cant even use…

A story that matters, the cinematic doesnt even go hand in hand with the pre battle for for UC. we left off with jania being like anakin skywalker from mop. Now shes like luke sky walker… Most of the horde felt excited to finally have our shot at an ally leader going dark, but nope… We got MOP 2.0 The Sylv change from legion to here makes 0 sense, she was redeeming and felt like she had some emotion to her.

Classes that have more than 5 buttons, priest has never been so boring… its so simple i feel this game should be re-branded as a V tech childrens app.

Azerite… we all know how rough this has been…

Content… Strongly lacking or non existent.

RNG and specifically what you mention about doing raids and mythics and getting nothing has been in game since…ever…Not sure why you are just NOW getting upset about it.

This expansion? Needs more John Wick less Babayega threads. You could even redo the barrens chat and replace Chuck with John.

Need? Who knows. Every expansion is different.

When the allied races and flying launch the forums will have to pivot to a new slap in the face.

Probably spec balance. That’s always a popular one.

I would really like to see some more paid store mounts.

I’ve got all this money lying around and no idea what to do with it!
