@MissMintyTTV Bring back the old TBC system where you had to run the normal versions a ton to unlock heroics, but make it role locked (but make the alt role lock a bit shorter than main lock). Also make the dungeons ilvl capped to prevent overgeared blow throughs
@NotAmberBerries I think it's pretty open what she wants. She is a void creature, they consume power to become more powerful, she wants to consume the prime world soul to be above God tier power level. I suppose it's the post-consume that's iffy. Does the void have a reason for doing what it does
@HoneyMango46@NotAmberBerries Ff14 has disposable players and their toxicity is way lower. If bliz would punish people who break their social code of conduct like ff14 does, this wouldn't be an issue.
@icyveins Make the scourge a very rabid-like threat that feels like an extra stake we have to deal with while clawing our way to stopping xal and iridy. Remaster classic zone music. Make winterspring main city hub. Void tempered undead. Nightmare'ish Storm peaksin both look + difficulty
@VegiVoorhees@icyveins I wish, but we tore up his soul in like 50 different ways in WotLK, Legion, and Shadowlands. They'll have to reaaaaalllly stretch to get him back. If anything, leave several call backs or ominous scars of all that he did throughout our journey of a 20+ year later NR
@NotAmberBerries I'm not advocating for shadowlands as a good story, but I think degrading the eternal ones as just "robots" will throw all titan constructs as the same since they are all made about the same way. If we do that, then everything Tyr did should be scrutinized as well IMO
They really need to just keep exp gained from quests % based, then figure out the best cliff notes version of all the prior expansion quests (or create a cliff notes video of them to explain everything), then let them play through the main story from there.
THEN, give players the option to "Chromie time" at max level and keep your progress so those who want to play through an expansion can. Also make all raids setup like the mana forge story raid but make sure you put in the story bits for characters you interacted with through quests (cut out filler bosses that only show up in the raid and keep follower dungeons the same...or make the full raid playable with followers that make sense).
This would give new players a better catch-up mechanism for the story while keeping the option to return to the full story later.
Idk, they are still gonna run into "most of Azeroth isn't important to the full game" and maybe should have The zones that don't connect to the main story of any expansion have a new mechanic of "super side quest" where if you help the people out, you get a special quest reward at the end.
Idk, there HAS to be a better way. Gotta find a good mix of ff14's full story playthrough and wow's "thanks for buying the game, you are now a really big deal in the world of Warcraft, here's our last expansion"
