Travel is fairly convenient in WoW, so this is hardly a necessity. But given the need to juggle multiple hearthstones, and the current capital is effectively mandatory, I can’t help but wonder if the Hearthstone system should maybe be overhauled?
My thinking is that clicking the Hearthstone would instead pull up the world map. Maybe just your local continent by default, but functionally operating the same way. You click on whatever zone you want, and it shows what hearthstone locations exist for said location.
Maybe you “unlock” Hearthstone locations the same way you unlock Flightpaths. Your “Home” would simply decide when map screen you’re shown by default.
My thinking is simply that it would offer a bit more variety and usefulness, and ideally eliminate the need for additional hearthstones like the Dalaran or Garrison ones.
Or heck, maybe even just allowing use to any of the Capital cities?
Another option could be something like the Hearthstone taking you to your Class Hall, with each one getting portal areas just like the Portal rooms in SW and Org. I really miss most of the Class Halls, and would love to see them made a bit more evergreen anyway. In fact, it could be cool to unlock Class-specific Hearthstone visuals too!
