- Switch between old and new Northrend zones


Story details

There is a questline planned to be in the Argus patch, that involves a hooded figure, largely hinted at to be Kel'thuzad, who wants you to recover an artifact called the Soulblade of Sargeras, a pillar of creation. This artifact has control over souls and undeath, it is what Sargeras uses to resurrect his demons and it is what Kil'jaeden used to create the Lich King.

Another questline is taking place on Azeroth, where the player (Alliance only) is finding a grave in Stormwind empty. The grave has a Lordaeron symbol on it and is largely hinted to have been Arthas' grave,

>>375739786
Similar to the cutscene with Gul'dan discovering Illidan, there will be a short cutscene that ties the expansions together. The cutscene is still in development, but I have seen the art for it, currently it is planned that you see Kel'thuzad and undead forces, Death Knights etc., approaching the top of Icecrown Citadel, standing in front of Bolvar, Kel'thuzad uses the Soulblade of Sargeras to tear Bolvar's spirit from his body, his body turns to ash and crumbles, the crown falling to the floor. Immediately the Death Knights carry in something, that's covered up in sheets. They lay it on the floor and remove the sheets to reveal Arthas' body. Kel'thuzad puts the crown on Arthas head and uses the Soulblade of Sargeras to summon the soul of Arthas, putting it back into his body. The camera focusses on Arthas face, you can see it twitching and then his eyes spring open, glowing blue, like back when he first became the Lich King. That's where the cinematic ends.


- Old zones completely changed
- Borean Tundra: flooded by the Naga, barely any undead there
- Dragonblight: Dragonflights struggling, losing to the Scourge, undead dragons roam the area
- Howling Fjord: old Vrykul and Alliance and Horde bases overtaken by Scourge
- Grizzly Hills: wolf cult joined the Scourge, led by Arugal
- Sholazar Basin: Titan-forged that slumbered beneath the land have awakened
- Zul'Drak: undead Drakkari trolls try to resurrect their Loa, fighting against the Scourge
- Storm Peaks: Odyn has moved in to the Terrace of the Makers, Twilight's Hammer wants to resurrect Yogg-Saron
- Icecrown: the Scourge has fortified their strongholds, more Scourge presence here than ever
- Wintergrasp: new world PvP zone, two Ethereal cartels are battling over resources here
- Crystalsong Forest: very minor changes, zone remains mainly the same, not a lot of quests will lead here
- Currently 10 new dungeons planned

Just let it fucking die.

The name Return of the Lich King was already trademarked a while ago. Basically Blizzard is trying to focus on lore that people like, that's why they brought Illidan back and since Illidan's return had positive responses, they decided to bring Arthas back, as he is about as popular, if not more than Illidan. The team wanted to revamp Northrend for a long time, it's the teams most favourite content and that of many players as well. The announcement of this will happen soon, so whether you believe me or not, this will soon be made public. Enjoy our trip back to the icy north.

>>375739682
I buy it. Legion was already an expansion filled to the brim with fan service with people wielding ashbringers and child of light illidan so this sounds about right for a followup. Also they can reuse a shit ton of assets from Northrend.

I'm just curious as to what they're going to do with Bolvar who is already the lich king

stupidest shit I've ever heard

brinigng arthas back is stupid

giving alliance 3 new race/class combos isn
t balanced

they said artifacts aren't sticking around

stupid

They said a million times artifact weapons were a Legion Only deal though

There is no way Necromancer will ever be a new class now that Death Knight unholy spec has essentially been revamped into exactly that: they summon multiple undead and can summon multiple varieties of undead. This is a necromancer's core focus, and it's already in the game. Who do you think you're kidding OP?

>>375749854
really makes you think...

>>375749528

This is a good point, and beyond the autism inherently expressed in drafting up an idea for a new WoW expansion. It's not even good, or remotely realistic. It's like an awful fanfiction. The fact that he clearly actually tried and still produced something awful makes it worse.

>>375750203
It's not even the season for the new expansion speculation with bait threads to get (you)s. It's so bad of an attempt, it's baffling.

>>375739786
>- Aside from that no new class Quests, as that took up too many resources that could've been spent in a better way

Sounds about right

>>375749958
This is clearly fake but I feel like shutting down your rebuttal anyway:

>There is no way Demon Hunter will ever be a new class now that Warlock demonology spec has essentially been revamped into exactly that: they become a demon and everything. This is a Demon Hunter's core focus, and it's already in the game. Who do you think you're kidding OP?

>>375739682
>Vrykul ever joining alliance after sucking Arthas' dick for ultimate power

if anything they'd be sucking Sylvanas' dick for close to the same deal

I can see ogre joining horde since it was literally supposed to be a race in beta and they have actual clans
from my small understanding of wow lore the only "new" race the alliance could even get is High Elves cause even when worgen was added it was just cause they used to be humans but are also vehemently against the undead.

panda are just liasons to each faction that's why they got the in for alliance
horde actually accepts new people in cause they get treated like shit by the alliance

>>375739876
>- Crystalsong Forest: very minor changes, zone remains mainly the same, not a lot of quests will lead here
This I don't believe.

>>375750837
Why the Pandaren are still with the Horde to this day confuses me. They should've all defected to the Alliance after the Siege of Org.

>someone actually spent time typing all this garbage

thats alot of shit typed up for some bullshit op
spend your time better

>>375750769

People actually gave a shit about Demon Hunters. They've been the most requested class for years so they found a way to fit them in. Not that nobody would like necromancer, but it's not an iconic "hero class" or something that has a popular character behind it (at best, Kel'thuzad).

>>375750992
idk
i don't really know the story of why pandaren joined each faction besides to show each faction how to bring order to the world or some shit
i played through the starting zone once but i skipped over a lot
there were like 2 friends and now they are split up or something

the way they make the horde just do backwards ass retarded shit pisses me off from cata onward

>>375740145
>- The Frozen Vanguard are an ancient sect of Death Knights not serving the Lich King
Wasn't there already a group of non loyal DKs?

>>375739682
>- Necromancer Hero Class (Every race)
They just had a Hero Class. Why would they do another Hero Class? A new class sure, and Necromancer I'd welcome, but a HERO class?

Also why would Vykrul join the Alliance? Let alone be Paladins? I'd imagine the Nightborne would be a new Alliance race in the next expansion Also your fanfic doesn't mention any racials.

>>375751218
I dunno, I and a massive number of the people I've talked to really enjoy the idea of a true necromancer, and Kel'Thuzad is bae.

>>375751224
All I remember is that the Pandaren emissary to the Horde was tortured and nearly killed. You find him passed out in the middle of the Valley of Strength where the emissary to the Alliance carries him out crying. Then they stuck with Vol'jin for whatever reason.

>>375751401
Yeah, the player faction. The idea that there could be an ancient sect of DKs is bogus however, because DKs have only existed in any form since the Second War. This was only thirty years ago at most.

This is all well and good but there is zero reason to expect any less than the bare minimum from Blizzard, and this is not the bare minimum.

Would be nice, though. Might actually come back. Too bad Blizzard is out of touch.

>>375751402
Neutral Vrykul that include paladins formerly under Tyr are a large part of Legion. The Vrykul were under Skovald's yoke and the Legion's power, but there are plenty that we interact with who are relatively chill. They do however have zero motivation to join either faction but things like that have been contrived before, such as Goblins, Pandaren and Blood Elves.

>>375739682
>Boneweaver, tank, summons a huge skeleton that serves as a tank
How is summoning a big tank NPC supposed to make it a tank role? Do you have any idea how awful it would be for a raid to just leave tanking to a NPC?

I love Kel'thuzad don't get me wrong, but he was a necro for like a third of the human campaign and has been a lich since. He's also not nearly as popular as Arthas or Illidan. It's not that I wouldn't think a necro is cool, necros were my favorite WC3 unit, but DKs encapsulate pretty much everything they bring thematically and are much more popular.

to extend; WoW class additions seem to clearly draw from WC3 heroes. The most popular ones (DH and DK) have been added, and many classes are composites of others (e.g. Blademaster and Mountain King went into warrior). The only one that's really completely missing is Tinker (and before, Brewmaster, which then got added). I wouldn't mind a Tinker class at all.

You didn't even try to sound convincing.

>>375750769
Demon hunters are defined by their agility, twin glaives and lack of eyes - their ability to transform into a demon has always been secondary at best. There was no way to translate those first three aspects over to one spec for Warlock without drastically changing the class as a whole so it makes sense that they're separate. In the case of unholy, they're literally necromancers in every way - they summon varieties of undead for different situations, they self heal using stolen life, and they make use of ranged spells and debuffs. The warlock class could survive the loss of daemonhood because it ultimately amounted to switching over one ability, whereas, in order to introduce a Necromancer class, you would essentially have to gut Unholy in its entirety. This isn't something Blizzard could feasibly do at this point even if they wanted to.

>>375751870
Don't forget that currently the major plotpoint in Legion is
1. Going to Argus to go on the offensive against the Legion for once.
2. N'zoth might be coming back soon.

Yes from the DK Order Hall storyline it seems to hint that something is kinda fucky with Bolvar, but compared to the above plotpoints, especially the first one, I doubt we'll see anything from Bolvar yet.

>>375751851
I do admit that this expansion idea is retarded and necromancer is a pipe dream at best. The most we can hope for is that Blizzard decides that talents like Gladiator stance were worth the effort, and Unholy gets one that makes them ranged and gives them a fuckload of minions. I feel there's enough grounds there for a full class, and make the split between necromancers and DKs just like they did DH and Warlock.

That's how YOU see it. Far as I see, we're doing just fine. Yeah of course a bad vidya comes out, but that's kinda how a regular year goes now. You get games. Some are good, some are bad, some are GOTY worthy, some are hilarious disasters or blunders. But overall there's always at least good games made by competent people.

The key is to not let one big disaster be your reason to declare all of modern gaming as dead on arrival because it's some popular /v/ meme to do so. Besides, I don't see /v/ really doing alot to stop the "bad things" in the industry.

I'll never understand the interest in Vrykul. They're fine as a side race but if we got fucking tall humans as a new race (especially for Horde) I'd be incredibly disappointed. Give me ogres or naga or something else actually cool.

What is /v/ doing to solve the problems of vidya that isn't just sitting together and calling each other shills or reddit?

The only healthy threads are the filename threads and shit like it where you can have fun posting when it isn't your weekly /pol/bait thread or the 10 threads about the next upcoming video game and how it'll either be the best ever or how BTFO it was.

>Level 108 is random as fuck
It's 108 because you level up twice in the starting zone. Same with DK and DH I believe.

>Vrykul and Ogre races make no sense
Vrykul make sense, Ogres don't. It should really just be subraces though.

>Draenei Warlocks? Pandaren DKs? Necromancers as well. It goes against their entire cultures and beliefs
Draenei Necromancers were in BC. Warlocks make sense given that the Legion is about to be destroyed. There was a Pandaran DK already in WoD, and they're getting a new starting zone anyhow.

I don't believe this shit for a second but your complaints don't make sense.

As for me being here, there's no other vidya forums on the internet I'd rather be, other than a certain forum that I'm perma'd from because of me being autistic during the recent American election. So if I'm here and arguing, I might as well attempt to argue since it's better than just giving up and letting them have it.

Arthas is a bitch though. Legion literally has his soul hanging out in the DK's weapons talking shit, and you get them by killing his soul again as he's all like "THE DARKNESS I CAN'T CONTROL IT ARGHG".

>>375755280
He doesn't even write for Blizzard anymore. He just comes occasionally to voice Thrall or something.

>>375755029
Alot of people see the Vrykul as the Faction equalizer.

By giving them to the horde faction balance will finally be achieved because of the Hummie players now have a alternative to play the other faction.

People want Vrykul for the Horde and Naga for the Alliance.

Remember what happened in the first place.

>>375755589

Weren't BE enough of a "pretty race" for Horde already?

>>375752205
>you would essentially have to gut Unholy in its entirety
"As Death Knights can only tank and DPS it made no sense for them to continue to have three specs. In <new expansion> Blood will be the tanking spec and Frost will be the DPS spec. Unholy has been removed."

Not that I think any of this is true, but a quick look at cataclysm through legion shows that blizzard has no problem paring down the game in the name of "simplifying" it (making it smaller and easier for them to develop with the intern team keeping the project alive).

>>375755630
Just make a new version that's easier to animate and write some shitty lore to back it up.

>>375739682
Why would you waste your fucking time writing all this up

>>375755260
>Ogre's don't make sense
they make way more sense than the vrykul

horde already have an ogre faction associated with them while there is literally no reason a vrykul would be part of the alliance

Arthas is actually in legion, so I wont doubt this. They're obviously setting bolvar up for something. But I doubt itlll be this soon. Old gods are next

>>375739682
i only played wow the first year it was out, did i miss anything these past 12 years?

>>375756068
I mean for the expansion OP outlined. Ogres clearly have nothing to do with any of that, while the Vrykul do and it would make sense to add them.

For the Horde either Nerubians or Naga would make way more sense.

>>375739682

Fake as hell. Legion still has at least another year left in it. 7.2.5 isn't even out yet, Tomb of Sargeras is next month, and 7.3 isn't even in PTR stages yet. Blizzard won't announce 8.0 until at least next Fall.

>- Necromancer Hero Class (Every race)
>Starts at level 108

Slightly believable with the hero class as it falls in line with the alternating race - class - race - class since Burning Crusade. Also, the suggestion of a ranged class being next makes sense as every new class since Wrath has been melee-based.

>New Alliance race: Vrykul

Never gonna happen. It breaks lore because Vrykul are so rare in the current timeline. If the Alliance would get a new race, it's going to be a sub-race of a current Alliance member. Dark Iron Dwarves are more likely to happen.

>New Horde race: Ogre

You'd have to completely retcon what Ogres are for this to make sense. They're too big to be a playable race. If it is a new sub-race of Ogre-like beings, I'd believe it. But currently Ogres wouldn't be a good candidate for playable race.

> Pandaren Death Knights, Night Elf Paladins, Draenei Warlocks, Draenei Rogues

Pandaren wouldn't be DKs because there is no real source within the lore of where new Death Knights would come from. The Val'kyr are either gone or enslaved by Sylvanas attempting to raise only new Forsaken.

Night Elf Paladins make no sense.

Draenei Warlocks go completely against their cultural beliefs and what they stand for. If Draenei would be Warlocks, it would be because if events on Argus lead the Eredar to join the Azerothian ranks. And they would more likely join the Horde than the Alliance due to their rivalry against the Draenei. Also, Draenei Rogues make zero sense.

>Main villain is the Scourge, but also Naga and Old Gods

I'd believe it. There's plenty of evidence saying Queen Azshara may be plotting something since she has Neptulon imprisoned.

1/2...

>>375755589

>faction equalizer

Blood Elves did this over 10 years ago.

Alliance can take the shitty Vrykul, give Horde Naga.

>>375756207
Nope and you shouldn't look into it anymore. Leave us to our pain

>>375755807

A spec has never been removed, DH never had a 3rd spec. Blizz is incredibly lazy but there's no way they would literally remove a spec, people would be assblasted.

>>375739682
necromancer class would be totally against lore since most of them are mortal members of the cult of the damned (neutral evil and enemies of everyone besides scourge). death knights are already necromancers to a degree anyways.

But Vrykul are fucking all over. If they wanted to bullshit a justification for it, it could be that the Northrend Vrykul and Stormheim Vrykul reunite.

Nope there are still more alliance then Horde

I'd say there are 20% more alliance.

He's free though. He was summoned to work with the Shaman order Hall for their story line.

You're retarded in a different way from OP, but no less so.

Ogres and Naga are the two safest bets for race addition. You really don't think Blizz would just make them Tauren-sized? Tauren should be larger if we cared about lore, and faction leaders shouldn't be 15 feet tall, but here we are.

>Pandaren wouldn't be DKs because there is no real source within the lore
But the OP outlines a new source for them in the lore. Hell, there was a Pandaran DK in WoD.

>Night Elf Paladins make no sense.
There are literally two Night Elf Paladin followers in the Paladin class hall right now.

>>375756872
Didn't they say Naga couldn't be included because it'd be hard to model armor on them?

>>375756937

https://realmpop.com/us.html

Obviously there aren't 1.5m chars, even this website is a low estimate. WoW had 12 million players at one point and most players have made several characters, I'd bet the number is 100m+

>>375757097

Several races already have fucked-up shoes, I have no doubt if they wanted to they could. Leg texture would presumably be wrapped around their lower body. Sure it wouldn't look great but that's obviously not a limiter, look at fucking Worgen armor.

>>375757256
The Night Elf Paladin follower literally yells "I fight in the name of Elune" and has Elune themed abilities.

Following Elune doesn't mean not using the Light.

>>375757256

I'd love to agree with you but they added NE mages so I don't think blizz gives a shit.

>>375757097
there's a lot of good potential races that fall under this category

here's a list with pros/cons:

http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Race_ideas

I've always thought furbolg should have been the cataclysm race instead of worgen. the worgen should have been an optional variant for humans and night elves.

>>375757478
why isn't he a druid in bear form then?

it is just unnecessary and trying to pander to fans who would probably want humans to have druid class and orcs to have paladin class.

>>375758476
>why isn't he a druid in bear form then?
Because she was a Priestess of Elune before becoming a Paladin of Elune. Bitch just uses a hammer instead of a bow.

If you want to get pissy it should be about the other Night Elf Paladin follower, who is both ancient and fucking UNDEAD.
