If you could only bring your Backpack to WoW 2

[gushDH]

Nothing.

If it's wow 2, I want to be feel like it's new. Leave everything behind for a fresh start.

Fortune cards, is that so you can vendor them and have a head start at making gold? I'm surprised no items hold any sentimental value to you.

Sentimental value drops after 5-10 years. Mostly cause the people you played with quitting. Some because they just cant keep up with the times pixels wise. And frankly the last couple expansions I haven't made any new sentimental items, not like it was years ago at least.

Just read this thread. lots of people saying benediction, nobody saying the challenge artifact appearance. while they are as similar as you can get these days.

Then you had no reason at all to post in this thread, yet you still did.

@OP

Hmm. I guess it would entirely depend on what WoW 2 was going to be. If it's just WoW with better graphics on a better engine and nothing else really changes, I'd go with what the guy/gal on page one said about 30 slot bags, plus my Dartol's Rod of Transformation, because the original is so much better than the garbage one they created more recently. So 15 30 slot bags + the wand. I can just farm everything else over again, I have no issues with that. No point in bringing any current gear as things are going to change. The things I'm most proud of in WoW are achievements and events that I've completed myself. Unfortunately you can't put those in bags :-)

I suppose I should have fleshed out this hypothetical further, lol. I envision a WoW 2 as a new story, new setting, better engine/graphics, and starting from nothing as a simple adventurer again. Blizzard says they won't support WoW 1 anymore and announces this new WoW 2. Everyone freaks out and says "but muh pixels" and then Blizzard's like, "Fine, you can bring whatever you can fit in your backpack."

It should be noted that since this is an entirely new setting, nothing will carry over to the new game aside from what you bring with you. So there's no going, "I'll just farm it all again."

Does that change things?

I respect your last two choices, especially. I found it hard to not take some Arcane Powder or a Rune of Teleportation on my Mage. It sounds like WoTLK was your golden era, huh?

I like this topic. It would break my heart too much to try to figure out the answer though, lol.

Aww lol. I understand that, but surely some items are the cream of your crop?

- - - Updated - - -

Mounts aren't items in your bag.. How would you manage this feat?

They used to be items you had to carry, so I've made an exception. Plus I know how many mount collectors there are (including myself), so I had to rejigger for all those concerned.

I probably forget about it take whatever is in my backpack.

A true free spirit. Not even one item stands above the rest?

since all the shit is accountwide, ill simply bring 10 new accounts to wow 2 and merge them there

/thread

Hey! Keep your logic out of my thread lol. Assuming nothing is accountwide and the only things that will transfer over is what you bring on your back. Now what's your answer?

[Nerovar]

Shadowmourne, DK T10.5 (blue), Invicible, Tabard of the Ebon Blade + my frost Artifact so I can grind some more AP in the next game and some artifact research notes WoW-Tokens(just to be on the safe side).

Edit: Also probably haunted memento.

[Polarthief]

Say Blizzard announces a WoW 2, noting that nothing will carry over.

Done, and never bothering to play it ever.

12 years and they give me 16 slots, of which I already vendored all my important mog? What's the point?

[TheWorkingTitle]

everyone would dedicate one slot to a water strider and you all know it.

I guess I'd be jumping through the water like a pleb compared to you :P At least Deathknights, Shamans, and..oh sorry Warlocks, can save a spot and not bring one.

I bet there'd be alot of this response, but just for the sake of the idea, what would you bring? (you can un-vendor your important mog items in my hypothetical).

[Tack980]

A hearthstone tied to a wow location not in wow2, maybe i can trick the game into teleporting me into wow 1 and slowly move stuff over.

Spirit of competition,
Invincible
Onyixa reins,
Crimson Reins,
Glaive 1
Glaive 2
Shadowmourne,
Sulfurus
Haunted memento
Eye of Shadow
The AV tabard, worked my ass off to get that back in the day
Signet ring of the bronze dragonflight (have this on the dk, so I consider worthy to bring )
Tabard of the scarlet crusade
Black War Tiger - first ever 100% mount I ever perched my backside on - pretty funny actually friends helped me for weeks to do the quest line, and the moment it was completed and grated to me, they were expecting the pally mount, kind of worked up to a big moment and I popped the tiger, vent was full of giggles. Good memories,
Onyx Netherwing - My first flying mount that was properly mine,

My last item I'm annoyed about as its not in my banks, so it appears to have been removed from the game... I had the dragon head from the twilight grove, once again it was on my DK, so when that boss got removed from the game I was quite happy having that. I just logged in now to check its name, and its gone *cries*

Edit:

If I can have the above item thats been removed, then possibly one of the quest items from the warlock quest to summon the mount

Haunted Memento, nice. Shame they nerfed it, but it's funny thinking that that bastard of a shade would find his way into WoW 2 thanks to you. Very cool choices about your AV tabard, and mounts. I know those feels, so respect.

P.S. Sorry for your loss. I had completely forgotten that the Green Dragons dropped a quest item. Was it the Nightmare Engulfed Object?

- - - Updated - - -

-something that vendors for a lot of gold, at least 5000g orso. gold will be limited early so AH won't help you much.
-items which increase gathering speed.
-that mount that lets you gather mounted.
-mount with vendors on it.
-flying mount (tho lets be honest wow2 wouldnt have have flying)
-maybe waterwalking mount, probably not.
-at least one 30+ slot bag. (depending on new inventory system)
-probably rainbow generator.
-maybe some toys with QoL value.
-maybe a transmog set if it was available as a ensemble

Your bag sounds like a swiss-army knife of min-maxing, and then rainbow generator. Got a good chuckle out of that What transmog set means the most to ya?

- - - Updated - - -

Mog and 1 mount, that`s all i need.

Some bag slots to spare! You must like traveling light.

Nothing. After 9 years playing without ever having a lapsed sub, WOW2 would be my way out. Fuck them catering to an audience which doesn't even want to play WoW but are hoping to recapture some "magic" in WoW with a different engine...

WoW2 will never happen though, so I'll probs keep going another 9 years without a lapsed sub.

Didn't mean to warrant this sort of response with an innocent hypothetical! I don't think it'll happen either, but this is a hypothetical afterall. If you were to bring a Backpack, what would it have in it?

[sheggaro]

Invincible, Mimiron's Head, Swift Zulian Tiger

And head/shoulder/chest/gloves of my favorite tmog sets

[TheWorkingTitle]

Nothing.

I respect that. Not an easy task for a great many people. There's nothing special to you that would be difficult for you to leave behind?

[Alvito]

Nothing, I'd stop playing both WoW and Wow2, if they did a WoW2.

Agreed. Luckily the closest thing to WoW 2 we will get was BC, then we got WoW 3 with Wrath.......

It can, yes. Some of my items remind me of the people I once played with that have long since quit though. There'll always be value to me in that regard.

Lot of truth in the bolded part as well. Meaningfulness as it pertains to items seems to have some age attached to it for many.

Assuming Artifact Power doesn't carry over, what would you slot instead of the research notes/artifact? You should just learn the tokens to save space, or is there nothing else you'd want to bring? And another memento bringer, interesting! I couldn't find room for mine.

[analmoose]

I hope if there is another WoW that it is in no way connected to the original (carrying over characters achievements any of that, not story wise)

But in the case we could bring a backpack of items I would bring my Lok / Rhok from my first character, as it was my first real big achievement completed in WoW. Other than that, fill the rest of the inv with experience pots :P

Agreed on your first point, although what an uproar that'd cause.

Lok/Rhok is a very special combo to bring, indeed. I remember griefing opposite faction Hunters by attacking the elite demons And XP pots! Another min/maxer foregoing sentimentality for some sweet, sweet EXP. Interesting choice.

[Cæli]

why would you assume wow 2 is automatically something that has to be worth it : P before copying some items over, I'll make sure I'm actually interested first
even as of today, I would rather play everquest 1 than everquest 2, dunno, I got a better feeling in eq1 for instance

The dark Legacy Comic where they found how to fill bags up with bags filled with bags filled with.....

In all honesty 32 slot bags in my backpack so i will never have inventory problems in wow 2

[Radianshot]

If realistic backpack that can really only contain items we currently have... (and are in item form)
Every single legendary over the expansions (no screw the legion oranges)
Swapblaster
My artifact weapons (all 3 specs, so I don't have to refarm this shit)
Biggest artifact knowledge compendium (So i get that extreme headstart when they get back to legion)
Windfury totem harness (the shoulders on windfury mop cmode)
Remaining slots can be used for those 500k bags that are sold in legion so I have bag space in WoW2

[prwraith]

A couple of legendaries that are equipable by confirmed class in wow2, favorite to. Gold cap since it displays on backpack :P

That's all i'd need, start out a major twink char.
