Stormwind and WoD

[StrayFox]

Okay, I am all for having a giant crater in Stormwind. (It looks great, right?) But I was curious if anyone heard anything about Stormwind getting fixed?

Also, if the crater was fixed, what will be in it's place? The park again or... something else?

[Verdugo]

You cant fix a gapping hole leading into the sea.

In a world where we have floating cities, I don't think making some large pillars to hold up a structure would be overly difficult...

[Somnium]

Yes, yes you can. The outer-wall can be rebuilt, the slope doesn't have to stay burnt black forever, etc.

[Togarox]

Doubt there will be any changes since WoD won't take place on Azeroth.

Indeed, fixing a crater is just too much of an ask in this fantasy world.

An expansion filled with mindless undead, another filled with demons and giant gronns, a third expansion with a huge dragon raping the world and destroying everything on sight, and finally a mysterious land home to pandas, mogu and talking insects.

But god forbid they fix a giant hole, I mean that is just asking way too much, couldn't possibly imagine that to happen. Ever.

In a world where it takes more than 5 years to fix a bridge you can not expect a whole district to be fixed within 4 years. Proper craftsmanship takes time!

they could always just park dalaran in it.

At some point it'll change, just as Stormwind and many part of WoW has over the years

[Feali]

Then I want some changes to Orgrimmar, too.. It can't be under construction forever.

I always thought it'd be good place for airship docking spot. Show off Skyfire some more, it's awesome

[Therougetitan]

You know, there was a reason they removed it right? While lore-wise sure Deathwing blew it up because he's insane, they removed it because they didn't want it there. Instead it is now part of questing.

Even if you could fix a hole, there is no point. It would add nothing, all the Park ever had that was useful was a druid trainer and they just moved him out. There is zero point in filling the hole with something new. The best to hope for is putting out the flames and building a wall closing it off.

Making Stormwind look whole is point enough for me. Plus before Cataclysm it was quite busy rp hub.

[PomPomPop]

I see them clean it up, get rid of the fires and debris but surely not put something new there.

Most main cities have four districts and Stormwind City really doesn't need five again. They already have the harbor and the lake which has some quests, a pumpkin farm and the druid trainer but they are still a useless patches of the city... just like the Park was.

Just put up a low wall there, plant some trees and benches and you have a nice seaside view.

Now I feel bad for killing Deathwing

that's a great idea !

Fixing the crater in Stormwind might require more resources from the blizzard team and result in loss of a raid tier so which do you want crater fixed or raid tier? Kappa

This.

I think one of the hidden benefits for WoD being next (at least for the devs) is they don't have to do anything with Azeroth. They turn the Dark Portal red and the expansion is set to go. No need to handle the sticky situation of how to remove Garrosh from his Warchief position, replace him with Vol'jin, and then update Orgrimmar to fit until at least 7.0.

I've been wanting to say Kappa so much on here.



But yeah, I get the sneaking suspicion that that's their excuse for everything these days. I mean really, you'd think we're dealing with the Flappy Birds guy and not a multi-billion dollar company.

Well, it's probably a choice between fixing Stormwind and a raid. I mean, Blizzard only has so much dev time.

What does "Kappa" mean?


OT: Ye I want SW park fixed ^^
