Expansion 5 - The Utimate Speculation Thread [INFO & RUMOURS]

**Adam Jensen** · 2012-11-12, 05:01 PM

Burning Legion is coming to Azeroth and we have to unite to save it. Maybe once the initial threat is pushed back, we'll head to ARgus or another bastion of the BL to kick some names and take some ass (wait . . . that doesn't sound right)

Actually the Emerald Dream would look completely different to Azeroth seeing as it's Azeroth without the Sundering. The problem is that it would all look very homogenous and to allow us access to all of it Blizz would need to make a landmass about twice the size of the rest of the game put together. I don't see however why we can't go to parts of the Dream in an Old God's themed expansion, were we perhaps visit Nyalotha at last. World of Warcraft: City of Dreams.

-Blizzard has actually made improvements and added new textures in the Emerald Dream in Cataclysm. See this

(skip to 7:20)

and

for comparison.
If Emerald Dream is same what is Azeorth now, This zone (what's done so far) isn't alike any aviable zone atm.

If there is any justice in the universe, then yes.

Legion is the most popular choice for speculation, as Wrathion's questline in MoP hints at them making another attack on Azeroth.

Emerald Dream forever, tho.

But honestly, how much can they change to make it look like a new continent, wouldn't think it would be as different as say going to Outland.

Actually, a lot of the lore describes it as being a pretty weird place. Floating trees, stone giants big as mountains, and this stuff:

It's a world of dreams. The laws of nature are just guidelines there. It'd be even more bizarre than Outland in some ways.

Seeing all the hints for the legion i (along with many else i guess) find it more possible at the moment ^^

**dokhidamo** · 2012-11-12, 09:49 PM

Emerald Dream is at best a raid.

It's story was mostly ended in Stormrage. Plus we have a history of destroying pristine lands. See: Karasang Wilds

You just gave me an idea of an entire zone made up of a stone giant.

Yeah, I still like the Dream, but I agree that Legion seems more likely. Though who knows, maybe they'll wind up trying to invade the Dream - there's no place on Azeroth left to attack!

Stormage reset the corruption of the Nightmare, but didn't destroy it. As of Cataclysm, the Nightmare has begun to spread through the Dream once again, reaching as far as the Barrens and Mount Hyjal.

It could happen! See? It's the best place.

Wow, I would love to have expansion with visuals like straight from the dream, it could be amazing.

Hmmm what could it be after kungfu panda?

Angry birds? Mickey mouse? Bunnies?

I would buy an expansion that has us invade the Magic Kingdom.

Between Kingdom Hearts and Star Wars, I even think Disney would put up a decent fight.

Bunnies we already have alot of in MoP.. angry birds too... Great white ones in VoTFW were a bitch untill they nurfed their aggro range.

Haha

They sure do have a lot of characters to throw our way at the very least

**killidan** · 2012-11-17, 12:33 AM

Burning legion, Argus, Sargeras, Emerald Dream, Azshara...

Any one is fine with me. Just waiting for the pandashit to be over. Looking forward to what comes next, so I can come back to the game.

**Mojo Risin** · 2012-11-22, 09:26 PM

Well, Blizzcon is confirmed for 2013, 100%. I wonder if it'll be in the spring or fall, though. If in the spring, then we could expect more clues on the next expansion early next year I guess.

**Tazzak** · 2012-11-22, 10:23 PM

I think it should have nagas and ogres.
