    Hope to god the Factions are used.
    There would definitely be other zones, but the main feature presumably being Titan stuff would be a bit odd.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    ofc they can't change it now, but i hope at least it's going to be something refreshing. an elemental expansion after dragonflight would be... meh

    OK someone said it so I can say my case without feeling ridiculous!

    What if Khaz Algar is not an expansion zone but rather is a class starting zone for Runemasters? We could start with Algar Dwarves and a local Tauren tribe from there living their area like with Wandering Isle and giving the Runemaster class to the factions.

    Totally. But I can't imagine they'd use the exact same models, just updated, on a new continent.

    what's the class concept of a runemaster?

    The Hypetrain is going full speed!

    Day 1: Metzen Returns!
    Day 2: Layoffs!
    Day 3: Elemental Mount on Blizzcon Ad
    Day 4: "Algarian Stormrider" Achievement

    So what would be the Horde Equivalent to a new Dwarf Stormrider? Dragonhawk Farstriders?

    I somehow doubt they'd do a new class, simply due to precedent alone. Unless you count Allies getting Shamans and Horde getting Paladins in TBC, they haven't added a new class two expansions in a row. I feel like new specs, or even reworks of existing specs, would happen first. Stranger things have happened, though.

    That's a cool idea. I would honestly love it if these "dwarves" are good people, and we need to liberate some of them from the Void.

    We in turn recruit them and gain access to their gryphon riders, shamans/runemasters etc.

I always wanted like Loa for troll or elemental for orc or something.

    In Dragonflight there was this random meditating tauren NPC with 4 elemental orbs floating around him - a potential hint. Coincidentally ( intentionally?), the celestials line up perfectly with the 4 elements, and this could make a really cool "Green fire" skin for monks, substituting any celestial aesthetic with elements:

    Chi-Ji, the Red Crane -> Fire
    Niuzao, the Black Ox -> Earth
    Xuen, the White Tiger -> Air
    Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent -> Water
    What most people forget is that there's actually 6 different elemental types, the four obvious being Fire Earth Air and Water...
    But there's also the 2 other elements which is Spirit which Resto Shaman and Monks used quite often because Spirit = Chi.. the other element is Decay which we've never seen much of aside from the Gnolls in Brackenhide... obviously it could include Death Knights, but they've never explicitly dropped the word Decay in Shadowlands

    When it was consider by Blizzard, it was light armored magic melee. Which we have so many of.

    I think you guys have this wrong. Storm Rider seems to be the name of the expansion. I'm betting Queen Azshara is the main antagonist along with the Naga. Dwarves are the guys who will help us.. along with Thrall serving as the poster boy/girl role

    But they would have to be from whatever this prospective new expansion location is, like these undiscovered Dwarves Tyr wrote about. Elves are probably very unlikely to have a subrace in Avaloren/Khaz Algar. Trolls are more likely, but there's already so many subspecies of Trolls. I guess Goblins are most likely. Oh god we're getting a Not-Undermine Undermine expansion aren't we?

    What if we got Azerothian Orcs that just happened to imitate the same evolution that happened on Draenor, where they evolved from a previously unseen Goren-like creature.

    I mean, you might be right: But the term already appears in the flavor text on a set of hammers. Ala the Dwarf Gryphon Riders.

    • Thrall, World Shaman and master of the storm, guides you on this perilous journey.
    • Befriend the battle-hardened people of Khaz Algar, and explore the secrets hidden within Uldaz.
    • Brave the fury of the storm atop your Algarian Stormrider and fight back against the Void.
    • With the newly empowered Dragon Aspects at your back, you are ready to take flight and go to war.
    • Protect the world-soul at all costs, For Azeroth!
    i'm betting most of this is what it is. Storm Rider is likely the expansion's name though.

    Based on what?

  18. #21618
    Btw I know we have no indication it might happen, but another thing that absolutely would get people very excited other than a revamp and ties in to all the unique mogs we've been getting from trading post and elsewhere is

    Class skins.

    Wait, they weren't.

    Tie it into Archeology somehow. Update both at once.
