These are basically the things that would make me feel excited.
Theme ONE: The Void
(Not the expansion name, just a theme)
-New world: K'aresh
-Homeworld of the famous Ethereal race. The planet was mostly destroyed by "Dimensius the All-Devouring".
-We arrive there (Blizzard can find a way to explain why) and find a community of friendly surviving Ethereals.
-There are also unfriendly Ethereals who allied with the Void (as we've seen on Argus)
-Alleria, Umbric & Void Elves have a huge part to play and we finally find out more about Void Elves.
-New playable race: Ethereal (Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Monk, Priest, Mage, Warlock, Druid and... Tinker)
-I dk if they should be neutral, A or H. I know what Blizzard said, but I don't have a problem with being able to choose a faction.
-New class: Tinker (A: Dwarf, Gnome, Draenei, Void Elf, LF Draenei, DI Dwarf, Mechagnome, Ethereal?)
(B: Orc, Blood Elf, Goblin, M Orc, Nightborne?, Vulpera?, Ethereal?)
-Personally, I'm not a fan of "engineering" or any tech-themed stuff being put into WoW, but I can see this one coming honestly.
-We finally find out more about the Void Lords lore...
-Xal'atath gets a cool new Void Elf special model in "nice" armor and immediately becomes fan favorite looking character.
Theme TWO: Dragon Isles
-New continent above Lordaeron that is similar to Broken Isles, Kul Tiras and Zandalar.
-Infinite Dragonflight is the main threat of the expansion.
-Our beloved aspects leaders get a major role.
-Imagine Kalecgos actually getting a new HD humanoid form model.
-Character development on all of them, including Wrathion.
-New class: Still think they would add Tinker first, but if you ask me, Dragonsworn name has been used a lot recently and I like the theme of using dragon powers.
-In that case, each race should be available to be that class and lorewise have it as their humanoid form, while they're actually a dragon?!
I want to point out many things I expect from the next expansion that are not tied to these themes above:
-A perfect moment for Azeroth EK and Kalimdor revamp - including finally adding Blood Elf & Draenei areas to Azeroth maps. A perfect opportunity to give every race their capital city (such as Night Elves getting a city in Hyjal and Worgen retaking Gilneas). The Allied races could get their bigger hubs in existing cities (example: There is a green forest behind Mage District in Stormwind- they could make another district right there and let it only have High and Void elf structures).
-New lore added to each questing zone so that it’s not stuck in Cataclysm era anymore. BUT - I want them to keep the same quest rewards so that we don’t get another “not available anymore” situation like we did when Cataclysm went live and Transmogrification. They could also use this opportunity to finish giving more rewards-items that would finish some tmog sets (that have missing stuff such as boots, etc.).
-After heritage armor is finished, they should add heritage weapons (each weapon type) for each race. They should also use this opportunity to update Vanilla armor to HD. The other Vanilla model creatures should also be updated. I would want updated Gnolls to be on Dragon Isles just like the Killboars were on Kul Tiras when they got updated.
-Continued customization for Allied races and Core races again.
-If they really don’t add the new customization for Allied races (I can hear that Nightborne cry), then I don’t want to be disappointed in 10.0. With Azeroth revamp, they should allow some races to get new class combo such as Night Elf Paladin, Draenei Rogue, Orc Priest (shadow lorewise - just like Mag’har), Goblin & Worgen Monks (with Exiles reach, I still find it weird that they’re not available now).
-I want them to add class skins - such as Void magic skin for Holy/discipline VE priests. Light skin for Lightforged Shadow Priests, Elune blueish skin for priests, etc. Could keep going.
Thanks for reading!
