If this really is set as the focus for an upcoming expansion, I’d ask if the play style be built similar to Pandaria.
We aren’t some famous name that appears and is hailed as a saviour. We’re an adventurer, on a new continent, learning about its people, culture, riches and dangers. We’re trying to get by as we can, disconnected from our major representations until some time later.
Yes I want to be a nobody there and build my character up, in a foreign land with new customs that I need to figure out.
Make it a wonder and an experience of discovery and danger, rather than about our accolades.
if the new residents of the next expansion don’t spit on me and call me filth just for daring to cross their path i’ll consider it a failure on blizzards part to immerse me in the adventurer roleplay.
also i want every npc to worship the ground i walk on and unquestioningly follow my orders for easy money making.
This is hilarious, but honestly when you think about it, that was similar to our pandaria sequence.
We were remnants of a scouting force, scavenging in a new land trying to survive. We were told to leave several times. We weren’t even allowed in a Pandarian village until someone gave the thumbs up.
It took a patch or 2 before we reconnected with our forces from the main continents.
Yea man I want to be so unknown on this new continent that every factions is marked unfriendly so you gotta grind mobs at 1 rep at a time to show them how helpful you plan on being!
No questing at all until level cap when you have the rep required to be neutral
We weren’t remains of a scouting force at all. If you payed attention, the whole situation us on finding Pandaria was by accident when Anduin’s ship was attacked by the Horde and ran ashore and reached the new place. This is seen on both side’s cinematics, Garrosh was furious that an alliance ship was there first and sent a horde force to paint the land red by his own words. Meanwhile, Varian was concerned about finding a single ship that carried the “White Pawn” which was Anduin so he sent a rescue force to make sure he was safe thus sending an airship.
Both the Horde and Alliance commanders of those two forces then met new allies and brought the war to Pandaria way before our the secondary forces arrived.
Now fast forward to this day, both sides will send an expedition if Avaloren becomes a whole expansion onto itself as a neutral body then Horde and Alliance sending seperate teams and landing spot unless something happens between the two factions till that point.
With Il’gynoth’s Whisper of the Blind Queen wielding a staff of bone and the Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron’s Whisper of the Drowned God with a Heart of Black Ice…I strongly suspect that the Earthmother is in Avaloren.
Furthermore Azshara’s name has the word sha in it just like Mu’sha does… Mu’sha is one of the eyes of the Earthmother and Xal’atath(who we first see as an Eye attached to a Dagger) claims that the Moon Goddess Elune is an upstart “goddess” practically suggesting Elune is a usurping Mu’sha’s position.
The Tears of Elune in that case might be a dropped Lo’sho which would mean that Mu’sha/Azshara created the Naaru not Elune who is merely mistaken for Azshara.
If Azshara is a former member of the Pantheon of Light and the creator of the Naaru…
