So, I’ll make the intro brief. I got my sub back up and started working on pre patch stuff. Obviously went to do the warband bank quests and found myself curious about the location.
This isn’t a gripe about the questline, but the quests being tied to the location is part of what bugs me. Gadgetzan, in lore, is a bustling desert city. Much larger than in game. Yet to this day it is only represented as such in Hearthstone (and yes, Blizz has confirmed the Hearthstone version is the canonical look of the city.)
It was nice having to visit that part of Azeroth again because I haven’t in a decade haha. But, if you’re going to put a questline around that city specifically and highly encourage people to go back and visit, why not update the look. Because as far as I’m aware, this is the only example in game of something appearing non canonically and it’s long past due that Gadgetzan get a facelift. The non faction Goblin hubs are horribly outdated and I like these morally grey NPC’s.
Is it just me wanting a revamp of Gadgetzan?
