If WoW was to copy/iterate on feature from another game, similar to Dragon Rising and GW2 Flying, what would you want to see in the future?
I’ve always been a housing guy but when I thought about it I actually thought of something else I’d like to see.
In FFXIV, when you are in combat there is a static list of enemies you are in combat with displayed on the screen. You can also see their casts and such (image below)
Idk about anyone else but I would love to see this as an option in wow for two reasons.
Reason 1, easier mouse over interrupts. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve I’ve gone to interrupt something and right before I click the nameplates move and I interrupt an NPC who isn’t casting anything at all. I know I know, skill issue, but still. Sucks haha.
Reason 2, finally being able to see what in blazes I am stuck in combat with >.>’ it’s not often but some times it’s a pain and usually an enemy engaged with another NPC I got too close to and can’t tell I’m in combat with. I’m looking at you Siege of Boralus…
Anyway, curious what y’all would want to see in WoW from another game. What feature do you think would be a great addition to the game?
I’m sure this thread won’t devolve into wow sucks/is dead/throw out the devs hostility…

I think I’d like WildStar’s housing system.
Everyone gets their own plot of land that’s instanced, and has a personal hearthstone to go there, and can invite others.
Garrisons don’t count because everyone’s was the same. Not so much a house as a gold generator.
I mean real player housing, choose your roof, doors or maybe hanging beads in the doorway, house structure type, could be a Tauren tent or a Gnomish hut, anything like that for example.
And of course, furniture that’s obtained from pillar content like PvE & PvP.
Oh, and similar to FF14’s Chocobo Racing, I want some kind of ground mount race event in WoW. Dragonriding is nice n all, but I crave racing.

ESO companions. They can be as bad, I dont care, as long as I can get them at level 1 and take them anywhere in the game not just select areas.

DAoC let you collect trophies from rares and raids that you could display in your house.

Honestly there’s a lot I’d like to see taken from FFXIV and brought here, and vice versa. But some of it is fundamental, like WoW’s transmog quality of life, or FFXIV’s mechanics consistency and tightness.

Since player housing has been said, the golden saucer from ff14 and don’t tell me the darkmoon fair is the same that’s like comparing pizza to a bottle of vodka.

You do realise that the main response to this is player housing.
Player housing done well, with the best cherrypicked from every game that has had it and the worst avoided at all costs. Sadly, I’m unlikely to see it in WoW before I get to the end of my playing days, which is a time not all that far off. It’s unlikely during this worldsoul saga and I’ll be lucky to be still playing by the end of that. Sighs
I’ll take the FFXIV style of mechanic markers. I’ll take visual clarity any day, especially when they’re so set on making every mechanic look the same as every other mechanic in this game.

The cinematic questing and RPG choices of SWTORs leveling experience.
Having my character talk and change the course of the story based on choices would be cool.

You know what? FFVII’s materia system…
That’s right, now gems are spells, enjoy.
I don’t care about housing, but if they do it. It must be like this, i will accept no substitutes. People laud FFXIVs housing system, but it’s actual hot garbage. Getting a house at all requires a ton of money and an available plot, and even then you have to win it by lottery. All for the sake of having in-game neighborhoods.
Meanwhile wildstar was like “What if we put Halo 3’s forge mode into an MMO”

Rifts transmog system where you could mog the slot, not the piece of gear and dye items and open up the menu and change your outfit anywhere and you didn’t have to redo your mog everytime you got a new piece of gear
Rifts large scale zone events with the huge world bosses - some of those were awesome.
