New Expansion - Draw your predictions!

[Haven]

Next expansion, the story so far: Thrall becomes a god, Jaina is the next Aegwynn, Varian gets blessed by Naaru and adds paladin powers to his arsenal, Anduin has an adventure right under Sargeras' nose and falls down the endless pit, but is luckily saved in the last moment, only to be buried under the rubble, but not completely buried - he miraculously gets out only to seemingly die in an explosion. Meanwhile, Sylvanas and Wrathion are scheming.

omg...tinker is not a good idea for a class...i mean it would be okay but compared to other possible options they just seem kind of dumb, plus we already have engineering

other than that and ogres i think this is a solid idea for an expac. but i want arrakoa for horde, alliance can take the ogres

Death Knight is dumb, we already have inscription. Mage is dumb, we already have enchanting. Monk is dumb, we already have alchemy. GW2, Warhammer Online and god knows how many games have engineer class, WoW still hasn't made them playable, like technology is not a power to be reckoned with.

By far the best guess I have seen in a while. As I have always said depends on the theme of the expansion what they will do. And all of those are good ideas.

[TheRealDavidTwo]

Can we make a WoW space program, and go to the moon? Or is that out of question?

But seriously, I do hope that Outland gets revamped. And what of the other parts of Draenor? Whatever in hell happened to that?

[Lynneiah]

Can we make a WoW space program, and go to the moon?

Which one?

[TheRealDavidTwo]

Both. And we build a giant bridge to both moons... and I guess Azeroth. Oh boy, Metzen will have a field day writing the lore for this...

[Deleted]

Azshara and the Nage, South Seas and Emerald Dream. Old Gods and Legion stuff preparing for the follow up Expansion.
Ogres for Horde, Rexxar being Leader, Furbolgs for Alliance (both remodeled) (Would also love to see Dryards)

New Class; difficult. not sure if there will be one. Would love to see questlines to "become" hero classes. > Monk, Rogue, Warrior, get quest for title >Blademaster<, get spells remodeled, transmog gear, maybe 2-3 new abilities that can replace existing. Alliance get Mountain King.
hard for other classes, so highly unlikely.

Would love to see much more transmog stuff, and the restrictions removed (mostly)

[Gothicshark]

furbolg make less sense than arrakoa, lorewise furbolg are conflicted between their alliance between night elves and tauren and thus refuse to take a side.

not to mention furbolg and pandaren would look almost exactly the same

the odds are any new race will be 100% humanoid in appearance. Ogres would be nice but the reality they would do 1/2 Ogres, another beast race would also be cool but the reality is they'll do something like High Elves for the Alliance in an expansion which gives Ogres to the Horde. After all name the classic races for each faction.

Horde
Orc
Ogre
Trolls

Allience
Humans
High Elves
Dwarves
Gnomes


I know people will be all WAT Blood Elves are High Elves, and that is true but technically only a small percentage of High Elves became Blood Elves, Sure the B lood Elves control the capital but a large percent live in Stormwind and stand with Alliance forces. As for starting areas they have several communities around the game to include Dalaran. (yes it is technically a Human City, but the majority of Mages there are actually High Elves, and Half of them where 100% loyal to the Alliance. Also in an expansion bringing back a legion theme the forces which have been at war with the legion which are constantly referenced but never seen in TBC are mostly Alliance Elves.

Burning Legion yes, but not on Dreanor again. That world was shattered before we stepped onto it. Xoroth is the new planet <3

Def, maybe even a piece of Xerrath or Argus.

Dragonkin for the alliance. Jaina's boyfriend brings them in. LOL That would be awsome

[ro9ue]

So rework the specs of a class whose specs are all samey by deleting the one that's the most different from the other two? Also, Dreadlords aren't vampires. They're demons with vampiric powers, yes, but they're not 'contagious' in the way vampires are. i.e. getting bit by one would most likely result in you being dead more than anything else.

True in that Sub and Assassin are more alike. I think Sub needs to be heavy shadows and Assassin needs to be heavier on poisons. Combat just doesn't seem interesting to me at all. On the vampire note, I was hoping they could 'bend' the lore on that for the sake of an awesome spec with awesome gameplay. I'm feeling like the old school blood DPS just quick fast strikes and DW.

I honestly hope you are 100% right on all of those themes. I have a hard time finding a niche for necromancers and demon hunters as separate classes since they are both so alike to Warlocks. Tinkers though, agreed.

[Celista]

blizzard has stated in interviews tons of times that creatures with more then 2 legs won't be a race, due alot of reasons.

Meh I still see it happening, Blizzard says lots of things then takes it back later sadly >.<

Lots of possibilities imo:

1. Emerald Dream expansion: Alliance--dryads, Horde--ogres
2. Outlands 2/Burning Legion expansion: no new races, Demon Hunter class
3. Kezan/Lost Isles expansion: Queen Azshara final raid boss
4. India-themed expansion (expanding upon Uldum)
5. Space expansion (different from #2, more planet hopping aka SWTOR style)
6. Pirate expansion (may tie in with #3)
7. Gnome expansion
8. Forsaken-themed expansion where Sylvanas becomes a raid boss
9. Dwarf and Titan-themed expansion.
10. Scourge return/Argent Dawn + Crusade themed xpac with Silvermoon/Blood Elf subthemes

Some ideas are better than others but I can see Blizzard doing many or all of these.

I'd also like to see a 3rd player faction

[ro9ue]

4. India-themed expansion (expanding upon Uldum)

Yeah, I would love to see more about Uldum. Was my favorite questing zone. Maybe because I'm a huge fan of Indiana Jones though.

[Sevenfold]

I hope they do something different with the next expansion. New races and classes and zones are great for awhile but you can only do that so many times. Instead of a new race I'd like to see more options for the current races like dark iron dwarves, taunka, wretched, Mag'har, and so on. I like the idea of a fourth spec for existing classes instead of an all new class. I'd like to finally see a playable third neutral faction. Something (or several things) that would make the game feel new and fresh rather than more of the same. This especially needs to happen if the next expansion features an enemy we've already faced and/or takes us to a continent we've already explored.

[ro9ue]

I'm with you on that. I want to play a red orc or a berserker (buff) troll. More dwarves would be sweet too, I mean who DOESN'T like that model transformation from Iron Boot Flask?

[TheRealDavidTwo]

5. Space expansion (different from #2, more planet hopping aka SWTOR style)

If they copy SWTOR; it's game over.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

If they copy SWTOR; it's game over.

How is that copying Swtor? Swtor didn't come up with the idea of planet hopping.

[Immitis]

thank god blizzard said that 4th specs wouldnt be worth it to do, althought i doubt people will ever shut up about them even though druids always had a 4th spec and didnt get anything new.

things that will 99% sure wont be the next expansion

4th specs
outland revamp
emerald dream as anything more than a raid zone/daily hub

things that have a good chance of being in the next expansion

a new planet if burning legion
demon hunters if burning legion themed
naga as a playable race if south seas
plunder isle, tomb of sargeras, kul'tiras, and undermine if south seas.

heres a little tid bit of info for you, weve already been on multiple planets in wow, and the demon army is actually just an alien army that conquers planets
