Class "Capital Cities"

[Samsara]

How about adding a "Capital City" for each class, it doesnt have to be only for the class for example Dalaran, it served as main city in WotLK and also serves as Mage Capital City, another example is Moonglade and Nighthaven, the only difference between these 2 is that Nighthaven is only a Druid city and nothing else, now with the introduction of this new Warlock Island, 3 classes have their capital cities.

How would you like to have a "Palace of the Elements" or a "Hunter's Lodge" or maybe an enormous Colosseum for warriors? Discuss

its a nice ideas ,but I personally dont see it happening.It would be even better if the zones were some kind of cross-realm instances only for 1 class

[Imnick]

It'd be nice if every class had a place like the Monk's peak with class quests as you level, vanity gear and the exp-bonus-granting dailies.
I sort of doubt it is going to happen though, that is a lot of work that could be placed somewhere else.

I tend toward this idea myself actually. Class cities are wildly overkill but a designated monastery for monks on each continent, something similar for other classes where class quests could be picked up, special temporary buffs, etc. would be fine. Unfortunately, now that there's little need for class trainers, it's an idea that is a bit behind the curve. And I have serious doubts that they would be used for much outside of RP realms.

Kinda awkward walking into Dalaran as a Blood Elf mage nowadays.

[Essenji]

You forgot to mention Acherus for Death Knights and that monk place in Kun-Lai.
I don't really know what I think of this idea. It would be kind of cool for those areas to exist, but I wouldn't necessarily want a teleport there or anything. But having a lodge full of famous WoW hunters all decorated with heads on walls and stuff? Yes please!

You are forgetting Ebon Hold for death knights and peak of serenity of monks. That makes 4 class hubs. If Dalaran was exclusive to mages, then I'd say there were 5 class hubs.


But, I do agree every class should have their own hub. I think that is what Blizzard is moving towards.

Yeah but I'd think Classes deserve their own area. For certain circumstances Mages obviously have to have seperate due to Dalaran Purging.(DON'T DERAIL)

Blood Elf Mage: HAI GUYIZ WHY U KICK ME OUT

Human and High Elves: ......??

[Justignoreme]

Not really a fan of class based sanctuaries for all classes. The ones that exist are enough. Nighthaven isn't a sanctuary like Acherus or Peak of Serenity either.

[Effbee]

RH Manor, as we all know, has been massively underused since Classic and is again a good example of size and scale that could work, i.e. not a city, but a small hub with lore and class stuff

Might not be too much work tbh and could also be tied to higher levels and not just for levelling so that it doesnt become redundant. Even its just there for flavour, might be ok, with some NPCs and chatter, with maybe some class based transmog vendors

[JhanZ]

Are you actually asking developers to create content other than the necessary raids/daily/bgs (1-2 an expac)/quests????

This is just an unreasonable request.

[frogger237]

You forgot to add the dk town/necropolis Acherus The Ebon Hold, and the monk town you access with zen pilgrimage.

Would be kinda neat maybe something like:
Throne of Elements in Nagrand made into a shaman town
Lights Hope made Into a Paladin City
Turn Ravenholdt manor(or a goblin town) into a Rogue town
Place a town in Grizzly Hills for hunters
Stair of Destiny(stopping demons from entering the dark portal and into Azeroth) or Nagrand arena for Warriors.
Take over onslaught Harbor or make a new city in the next expansion for Priests.

You're saying blizzard should spend more time on content that will be used once by a small fraction of the playerbase while leveling?

(I don't expect to see this person reply)

Pertinent to my point, however, is how "useful" these areas would be. Death Knights actually use their base for runeforges. No other class really has a mechanic that functions that way. Creating completely new zones for a scant few leveling quests, like moonglade, scarcely seems a good use of Blizzard's time.

Sunwell bro, it's cooler anyways. I like the idea, don't see how it would effect faction capitals as I assume there's no transmog, banks and AH's there. The warlock one looks amazing, Archerus still holds out and the Monk one in Kum-Lai is awesome.

[bionics]

Are we going to be able to take secret oaths to get in to the establishments and then subsequently haze prospective new members? If so, I'm all for it!

They could implement stuff to make them useful.
Moonglade is by the way the main scene of the Lunar Festival event so it's more usefull for the player base in general than Acherus is.

It's a bit iffy for the class/race combos with their own thematic (take Blood Knights and Sunwalkers, for example; both would feel out of place in a holy paladin city of Light and purity), but in general I like the idea.

Yeah, let's make this happen.

[Nelfatron]

Shamans got a big class place too, the Throne of Elements in Nagrand.

bout hearthglen then? would fit for all paladins, and the place is for any one of any race.

That's not a class place.
Moonglade, Acherus and whatever the Monk place is called all have class trainers and class-relevant activities.
The Throne of the Elements is a shrine in a lake with three NPCs and some quests that literally everyone can do.
