Is there a specific biome/environment that isn't in the game?

[willtron]

Or one you would like to see more of?

At this point of the game, I think we have most of them covered and are actually getting more specific with the zones and their real-world geographic inspirations.

[Verdugo]

Something from H.R. Gigers deepest nightmare maybe?

Rainforest? That's about the only thing I can come up with, but I admit I'm not entirely sure

I think it technically is, but for gameplay reasons a nearly impenetrable canopy would be a turn off to players especially since most rainforests also span larger areas.

Mmmh...an icecap maybe ? A frozen continent?

[Sencha]

I would love to see a (Central-european perspective here) normal forest with normal-sized trees, kind of what you see in Zul'Aman.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temper...ciduous_forest

Also, a salt-flat / volcanic landscape mix would be awesome, like the Afar Depression:

Yes it would be cool. Tired of 10-meter-large trees.

The salt flats one has kinda been done in WoD with Gorgrond.

[Arrashi]

Suramar "kinda" fits this bill, but i would like to see a whole city zone that it more similar to kaineng from guild wars factions rather than just constant "an illusion ! What are you hiding".

[Kokolums]

There's no Big River like the Mississippi and its massive delta. I don't know if you never been to the Mississippi river but its really really REALLY wide. its ridiculous.

There's Icecrown. It's basically a massive sheet of ice, lore-wise it's said to be a glacier that collided with the Northrend contient thousands of years ago. Icecrown Citadel itself is a glacier with fortifications build around it.

What do you think Stranglethorn, Sholazar, and Ungoro are?

Uldum and it's river delta?

[Deleted]

Deepholm sort of is, but a cave zone without the massively high ceiling would be new.

Theres also no real post apocalyptic zone, i.e. trashed urban area everywhere.

gorgrond has the salt flat/volcanic, i would go there to show you but... i cant go in game to take screenshots so here





it is not a whole zone, but it is some pretty big areas (i dont know if those are the exact locartion, but i know that top right most one is 100% one, and the left side has an area, but idk what of that water it is)

and a whole zone like that would be hard and weird to traverse

[McNeil]

Maybe a Wild Western kind of desert. The deserts in game don't quite look like it as far as I know.

Northrend is barely a frozen continent, there are forests, a varied animal life, and there isn't even snow everywhere etc... By icecap I mean a floating chunk of ice, with nothing on it (which is different from a glacier; glacier are found in valleys) and by frozen continent a continent with Nothing but snow on it just like antartica.

The problem is, there would be very little to do in a place like that. That's why Northrend suddenly became a lot more than a land of simply snow and ice.

I haven't, but we have this other thing over here called the pacific ocean lol

But how would you utilize a massive river like that? They already did a lot of underwater stuff in cata.

Someone said a massive frozen continent. lol like Northrend maybe???? bwahaha
I'd say something outer space and galactic and so forth, but outlands much?
I don't think there's much they haven't covered if I'm honest and fair.
That's something I should be really happy about but now i want to think of something they haven't...grrr lol

[Lochton]

My request would more be, more of something they already have. More places like Deepholm, more places like Vashj'ir, more places like Surumar city (yes, I said it, come at me! Need city scape questing zones, ruins or not).

Northrend was a frozen continent up until they decided no one wants an entirely frozen biome as the entire new gameplay area. Also an icecap by definition is a region of any sort covered in ice, doesn't specifically mean overland or water or even one 'continent'.

So technically... Icecrown could be regarded as an icecap... hell Zul'drak, stormpeaks, and icecrown are mostly frozen over except for a few spots.

on topic:

otherworldly biomes out of fantasy settings aside... WoW seems to have them all in some form. Though not all as huge zones and many seem to get forgotten cause they're really only present as a small part of a region many people tried hard to avoid. Salt flats for example have the same graphics tied to them as hot springs in WoW and are present in a few locations... and if it's not sharing graphics with hot springs then they use the same textures as deserts or sea floor.
