I dont think we can expect anything light and bright this xpac. SL is the edgelord of xpacs.
CN is allright, but im not looking forward to the next raid. It will probably look more or less like Torghast and that place sucks donkeykongmeatballass.

Don't really care, honestly, as long as the encounters are interesting.
Yes, please.
I'd love a proper outdoors raid again like Zul Aman, parts of Ulduar, heck even AQ.
The plains of Bastion could be nice, or a forest. Anything with a bit if nature that isn't dead or dying.
The worst version of a bright and sunny raid would be something antiseptic and byzantine like nighthold. It still gives off that cold blank feel. So something in Bastion would also be a fail if they went super heavy with all the cold stone architecture.

I if told you in 2005 that WoW would last 21 years and in that time they would not do ONE winter wonderland in the outdoors in the pines and a mountain raid, not one beach raid, not one jungle raid, you would get laughed at. But here we are. Its a lot like the dialogue problem. Blizzard thinks if the NPCs talk extremely constipated that it is good, dramatic dialogue. Its just stuffy stilted and boring. Blizzard thinks dark dank cave raid after dark dank cave raid must be edgy. Its just repetitive and boring.

I would like a snowy raid. A full slate of 8-11 bosses in a setting like Winterspring. Woods, snow, drifts, maybe crystal springs flowing by. That would be amazing. They should just let me be game director I would go in and fix like a dozen problems immediately.
TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.
Something new is always cool.
For the most part though we are raiding enemy strongholds and lairs, and enemies tend to have their stronghold...inside?
We have some courtyard type outdoor areas like Battle of Dazorlar and Nighthold, Highmaul, Hellfire Citidal, Throne of Thunder, Outside areas of Siege of Orgrimmar, some of dragonsoul, etc.

They should be like FF which gives 4 bosses every 6 months in a generic room.
Eternal Palace was an eyesore, and Nyalotha just made the scenery muddy. Castle Nathria is cool and all but they really need to stop with the dark colors. Oribos may become a raid so SL might not be all gloomy.
unless they open up a sunny zone in a later patch or release some sort of bastion raid which i doubt since there is clearly no such thing built into the zone already you'll likely have to wait for quite some time

storming is fucking trash and only affects mele in an already mele-unfriendly expansion. Shits gotta go its literally the only level 7 affix that negatively impacts only mele players
We've had a couple of raids that don't have the whole gloom, dark atmosphere, gritty feel to them. I feel like that is usually the more common theme for raids tho.
I am always open to more variety. I think the new raid is in the Maw. I personally didn't think that was a bad idea, but as a great incentive for players to actually want to play it and stay subscribed. I think having some awesome Maw armors would be a great incentive. A lot of people enjoyed a lot of the NPC armors there, wouldn't it be nice if players could obtain some of this? Also the perfect raid for this to happen.
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
