What would you like to see in Shadowlands?

I’m not familiar with runescape but I like the SWTOR housing

I’d like to see permanent increases to our class power, like a new ability or two through leveling and a new talent row (it’s been coming up on 3 expansions now since our last one)
I also want to see some QoL abilities for movement when you enter a raid that’s at least two expansions old, farming old xmogs on immobile classes is torturous.
And I’d definitely like to see far more returning abilities than like, one. That’s not good enough.
The top of the list for things I don’t want to see is something I equip at the start of the expansion and never replace. AP grinds are banal, and low effort.

Oh damn, you’re right. It has been a while since we’ve had new permanent abilities. Another talent row is definitely due. Bringing back abilities would also be great. Excellent points!

I would like for Arbiter to hijack the Plot from the Jailer then reveal herself as Samir Duran as he becomes the God of Death…

Furthermore I would like for Yogg-Saron’s statements about the God of Death to turn out to have not been about himself but of Duran and for us to find out and realize he is on the side of good and resurrect him followed by him leaving Azeroth for the Shadowlands serving as one of the Final Zones of the Expansion with Azjol Nerub being another.

I also want his vision of a future where Azeroth is reborn in Darkness to be the Twilight’s Hammer under orders by the Void Lords successfully Re-Originating Azeroth with N’Zoth’s Blueprint and not Yogg-Saron’s plot.

Incidentally the only evidence we have that Loken did kill Sif is his own word while disguised as a crone and he called himself cowardly when doing it so he clearly was using a story that would gain Thorim’s trust even if Thorim himself killed Sif!

Chronicle Vol. 1 is the account of the Titans, Ra-Den and the Disks of Norgannon combined(while Chronicle Vol. 2 is the account of Aggramar after being grabbed by the Legion) so Loken’s story could easily be fake and he could infact be a good guy!

Yogg-Saron should eventually realize that we are a hole in his visions just like Elisande’s Echo did and decide to side with us against the Shadowlands Pantheon of Gods(including Duran) and the Void Lords!

Bringing back a lot of the abilities taken out of our classes would be nice.

Seriously without Life Tap I’m just a mage. I’m a warlock dangit. If I wanted to be a mage I’d go play one.

This is thought out really well! The statements about the chronicles and titans are definitely possible.

people remembering the lore for once and realizing blizzard has been building up to this since at least wod. heck these voice dialog videos themselves have a crap ton of foreshadowing.

Nice post! Blizzard definitely plans out things way in advance. There are reasons clues have been set in place from prior expansions.

I still support sylvanas fully even knowing all of this for ages. I know sylvanas is evil and im more than ok with that I have always seen the horde as the evil faction and have not liked it becoming to cuddly and cute.

I want Garrosh Hellscream

And for him to be the proper warchief again since he was the best one

Rest of the xpac wouldn’t matter if that happened
