I would like reasons to hang out in my class hall.
A new druid who was leveling was concerned he was no longer able to go into stag form (he just hit level 60). I went to the Dreamgrove and went up to the NPC Amurra Thistledew and she sells [Tome of the Wilds: Stag Form] which would allow a druid to use stag form instead of flight form in the open world where flying is enabled. There are also many other Tomes that druids can buy and the level requirement of these are 40. However, a druid can’t get to the Class Hall until level 110? That doesn’t make sense.
Please allow any level to visit the class halls. It would be fun and allow new players to see other players with the same class. Potentially, seeking help or having discussions in the general chat of the class.
You can buy all of those same tomes for druids in moonglade. I got them long before opening my class hall.
In fact, because of moonglade, it can be argued that druids were the first to have a “class hall” and have had it since vanilla wow. Its one of the things ive always loved about the class.
I do agree, though, that the next expansion/update should involve our class halls again.
I’d rather people not afk in a limited instance tbh. Class Halls were neat for Legion, but I don’t see a reason to segregate people like that when it doesn’t have story relevance.
Class Halls really should be continued into future expansions. It made a ton of sense to have a centralized hub for classes and lore. I’d also love to see Artifacts make a reappearance versus moldering in our banks.
They could have expanded it for sure. Just think about the end of your garrison in WOD, you had a freaking Naval fleet - this could have been incorporated/integrated easily with a bit of effort.
Instead of that ship with the tiny mission table in BFA, it could have been a racial sprawling naval occupation courtesy of you the player, that would be some real backup.
NE ships, Undead ships, whatever. It would have looked a whole lot better and felt better.
(for those who didn’t do the garrison, they could have a rowboat with a mission table in the center of it)
One upside would be not having to develop absurd and useless watered down versions of class hall missions. You could instead just alter the missions in the class hall to make them content appropriate.
You could add the ability to choose which era of reputations you want to work on through missions.
They could have, and should have, remained relevant because at the end of Legion there was still danger to Azeroth with that gigantic sword. Instead Blizz introduced a faction conflict and turned the Horde evil yet again. I don’t see how the faction conflict could be relevant with everything in front of us. Especially when it came off forced.
The other good thing class halls did was allow our characters to step well beyond our faction and the faction conflict. It portrayed our characters as true heroes of Azeroth. Not totally mindless zombies who follow an order no matter how dumb it may be.
Something else I really liked is it really brought back class fantasy. It was fun having class specific missions and NPCs to encounter. Who didn’t love going around training that female gnome hunter? She was adorable! I went BM simply because I wanted to meet the dwarf, Grif Wildheart, who is the original dwarven hunter trainer from Dun Morogh. The quest to get Hati was one of my favorites.
Also felt the monk class hall quests were some of the best at showing who you’re fighting for. It didn’t just feel like a class hall quest. It felt like I was fighting to save Pandaria and its people. We had all seen the death and destruction on Broken Isles but here we were fighting back on our own home ground.
Blizz has a really bad habit of introducing important story elements and then ignoring them. Not only did the Ebon Hand attack Light’s Hope they also went around and killed a bunch of red dragons for their class hall mount.
Had to respond because this can be rather annoying. Especially when it seems I rarely get troops with the gun trait. Dwarven rifleman, etc. What makes me laugh is I’m a hunter with a gun and I look like a rifleman. Are they adverse to follow me because they think I’m a poser?
I’m not sure what the devs think is so entertaining about giving me four mounted troops and one melee while all of my table missions require at least one ranged counter, but that seems to happen a LOT this expac. Luckily, I have war resources to burn, so I just murder troops on 80% “lethal” missions they can’t counter, and roll the dice again. And again. And again.
lol Same here. I don’t know what they were thinking but thankfully I have plenty of resources as well. But that’s also because I’ve been really lazy/scared, to do the island expeditions and upgrade.
Another little thing I like. When you use up the last of a group of troops I like how it says they are exhausted so you know they aren’t dead. lol
