Into the Void [Fan Expansion Concept]

[Gamevizier]

I really love the idea of playable ethereals. you seem to have a gift for giving character to races and make them appealing for players. you have my vote.

[Ragnarocket]

Always love these!

Great atmosphere!

[Deleted]

Great job, really impressed with the detail etc.

[tratra]

I dont think anyone at current blizzard is as competent as you so we prolly wont see what you are proposing because it requires work... which they definitely hate.

[Deleted]

You going to update this, or give some info on the 1st patch?

[Varx]

Dude, seriously, you have a gift. I've read many fan made concepts before and yours take the cake. Been a fan since I read your Reign of Azshara concept.

Those ethereals... I've always supported ogres, vrykul, and nagas as possible playable races but never ethereals. You have changed my mind, your ethereal idea is awesome, absolutely love the mask idea.

I could see their racial ability now...

Corporal Form: The user activates their pure energy form, limiting action but granting immunity to further harm for 2 seconds. 5 min CD.

Keep up the good work and hope you update soon.

[MHMabrito]

Any chance you're going to update this anymore?

I will, I will! I have the whole rest of the concept planned, I want to do more art to go along with it. I'm going on vacation tomorrow for a few weeks, and when I get back I will start working on updates to finish this concept.

If anyone is interested it what I was working on in the mean time, check out my Fan Chronicles concept thread here: Chronicle of the Titan Worlds

I came up with some Spell and ability Ideas for the bosses of the Siege at Darkbreach Dungeon for some time killing.

Void Knight

Void Strike: Deals large damage to the target with most threat, knocking everyone in range of the target back.

If the chains are still there after 5 seconds, the rooted player is charmed and begins attacking other players.

Shadowy Slayer: Charge around the arena, in a straight line thrice, targeting a random player with each charge.
If a player stands in the way, they take much more damage from it, but are knocked back and stunned for 3 seconds.

Painbringer: Drags the highest threat target towards him, dealing increasing damage to them. If players all go
within range of the player being hit with this ability then the ability will end.

No matter how I look at your Ethereals concept, I can't stop thinking about the old cartoon show Mummies Alive. Loved the show and liked your concepts a lot. Specially the WoW Purple Logo and the World Map for the new zone.

By the way, you think you could make color variations for the Ethereal Energy? I suppose they're like hair or skin color or something like that and I would love to see how they look in other colors and which colors you think would be available.

Great job man.

[Magistrate]

Vegathis sounds wonderful. I think we're long overdue for a sweeping desert zone. I picture lots of wind trails over the dunes, and little ramshackle camps hiding where they can as waypoints. Ruins kind of tipped at odd angles as they're overtaken by the dunes.

Makes me think of old Hellfire. I absolutely love and still love that zone. Just maybe more variation. I like the idea of a red miasma hanging over everything, or that kind of dull glare from a dying star with clouds stretched really thin. A really gasping-for-breath kind of vibe.

[Deleted]

I don't like the Egyptian look of the Etherials

[Master Guns]

I read the idea, and while I love it, I just have to ask why you put so much work into something that is literally never going to happen? Or is this just your creative release? If so, I understand.

But so many people do things like this (the bethesda forums are flooded with "NEW GAME IDEA FOR BETHESDA" etc threads and I just can't stress enough the 0% chance ANY of this has to be in an actual expansion, or any "fan idea". Ideas are created within by a team of creators and writers and game directors, no "idea" thread made on any forum has ever evolved into anything more than mere hopes and dreams.

[Zilano]

This is really neat, I'm a huge fan of concepts like yours. Thanks for sharing, you've got a superb imagination. Keep it up.

Because not everyone works for the fun police?

[Dartz1979]

Sounds like a fun theme.

[Kayb]

Anything new coming this way soon, Yak?

[Golden Yak]

Anything new coming this way soon, Yak?

You know, this concept's writing is actually finished? It's all on wowpedia, all the patches and story and everything. I've just been badly dragging my heels when it comes to art. Hell, I'm already halfway through writing the next concept, Emerald Dream, and I still haven't done anywhere close to the are I want for Void. I've just been wrapped up with work and other projects.

Here's a sample of some Void stuff I've been working on:




I promise there will be some more soon.

I read the idea, and while I love it, I just have to ask why you put so much work into something that is literally never going to happen?

Cuz it's fun. Also, there are artists working for Blizzard right now who started doing fan art for Blizzard games they loved, so it's not like a love of fan art and fan creations is pointless. It might wind up being that little extra bit of passion that opens the door for them. You never know.

But mainly the fun.

[Kayb]

Awesome stuff. I didn't realise the writing stuff had been complete, I'll have to go check it out.

More eagerly looking forward to Emerald Dream stuff

[Servasus]

"Vegathis - A strange and frightful desert region of blood red dunes and ancient ruins, where crumbling, eternally burning undead scheme."

I want a zone like this more than anything in WoW. I imagine a mostly blood red scheme like Blasted Lands but with a more Saharan Desert feel to it, with plenty of ethereral machinery and purple electricity strewn about. I don't know why but that kind of aesthetic really appeals to me. Also, ever since they kind of turned Uldum into a meme back in Cataclysm, I think it's time they did a proper desert zone RIGHT this time.
