Oribos is awful

[JoeGood]

I like it.. simple and easy to navigate in. My game experience isnt taking place in the major cities anyways.

[vitor210]

Yes, it was.

You linked a video of more than 1 year ago, they clearly retconned it. Like I said, literally one of the first quests after leaving the Maw they Oribos dude tells you the brokers have set up shop for us, not for anyone else

OK but they did market it as a trade hub lol

[Malania]

It's a simple layout, has everything you need and it's really just a midway point between your covenant and your destination. I really don't see a problem with it. In a lot of ways it reminds me of Shattrath and Dalaran. What do you really need out of it?

[Jessicka]

It really doesn't need two levels, and the FPs in and out are unnecessarily long. For somewhere you don't spend much time, you still manage to waste an awful lot of time just passing through.

[Maljinwo]

Eh. It fullfills its purpose just fine

Not as grandiose as Dazar'Alor or Suramar, but thats not the point

The ambient loop in Oribos has this faint humming noise that makes it sound like some type of machine is running outside my apartment. It's driving me crazy.

I like Oribos because the layout is simple (the big circle like Ironforge and Dalaran.) While Boralus and Dazar'alor where certainly much more fleshed out cities, both were a pain to get around and find anything in (especially Dazar'alor before flying mounts). Even after two years, I was still asking guards for directions for things I didn't use on a regular basis. Anyway, with the Covenant halls, a central hub city isn't as important anyway. Once I hit max level I've spent little time in Oribos except for using that travel hub and an occaisonal visit to the profession trainers.

I had my hearthstone set to the Dazar'alor harbor and then just used the Legion Dalaran hearthstone to reach banks and other city services cause that was far more convenient than flying all the way between the harbor and the main ziggurat.

Ever since Shattrath (aka Shit rath..har har) - I guess this must rather be version 7.0 or so

The proper term of endearment is Shattrash.

As a Horde player this simple yet effective design resonates way more than this weird Temple HQ of the Zandalari. I like this more.

[Nuciek]

This. Why can't there simply be a speed buff like in the Pandaria-Shrine. Maybe an Ancestor of him spinning around...

Oh my god, you have to run for 30s in an MMORPG game to get somewhere. What a disaster!

Spoiled people nowadays. You would prefer one guy in one room that you talk to and has all the quests, vendors, trainers etc. so you can be as lazy as you want, right? That would be such an amazing game. Oh and he should hand out all the loot while we're at it so you're not forced to run around any dungeons or raids.

[Sunderella]

You must be Alliance if you think Oribos is awful. You obviously don't know what and awfully designed capital city is until you experience Dazar'alor.

[Spl4sh3r]

It would be better if it didnt arbitrarily not let you mount in some parts while its okay in others.

Just make the whole place mountable or give it a speed buff thing like Shrine.

Middle parts are considered "outside" while the outer parts is considered "inside", at least from what I understand.

Hyperbole always makes a compelling argument. But irony never does.

it was never "marketed" as a center of trade. It's the literal hub for all the souls in the universe, what market do you need there? LMAO one of the 1st quests in Oribos literally tells you that the brokers set up shops FOR US, nothing else.

From the Blizzcon 2019 What's Next panel: "An ancient city that stands in the heart of the Shadowlands, Oribos predates memory and serves as the nexus between the various domains of the Shadowlands. The Arbiter stands at its very core of this gathering point for various power brokers, wheelers and dealers, and soul-traders."

Also, the first quests tell us that Brokers had been there long before our arrival, and when we do our first tour around the city (moments after arrival), we see that their trading network is fully set up and functional.

Doesn't matter. Your point that Oribos was never marketed as a center of trade is still invalid, because it was.

why are you all pedantic about this? It's got nothing to do with my initial reply to OP.

[keldarepewpew]

Huge upgrade from boralus for me.

You asked how can one dislike Oribos. I told you why I dislike it. You started arguing with me about my reasons. This has nothing to do with the OP.
