Alliance guy is in the War Room in Stormwind Keep. He’s stealthed, but wearing pink pants, so he’s easy to spot.
I wish that we could all just group bear-hug.
Still better than an elf.
I wish, I wish, everything in the shape of an animal wasn’t instantly associated with furries.
I wish they updated Quel’thalas and Azuremyst before tackling the Vale. They have no good reason not to update those old TBC zones by now.
Small indie company…

They will, when there’s a reason to do so.
They’ve said that they don’t update stuff unless it’s gonna be used.

I wish the initial starting zones got a revamp. It’d no doubt keep more people playing if the majority of their first ever visual experiences of WoW weren’t dated from 2005. (Elwynn forest im lookin’ at you bruh)

Azuremyst first!
Honestly, the entire Old World needs a revamp. The Cataclysm revamp was bad just like everything else in Cata was bad…
There are plenty of zones in WoW that are so visually pleasing. The art team have been doing a tremendous job with terrain from MoP onwards, but there lies the problem… People actually need to stick around and suffer the ugly, old zones to see it. I know people might like the old zones, but i’d say that’s because there’s a heavy dose of nostalgia tied to them. If you had no previous experience, it’d certainly be off putting to me.
I know “iF YoU PLaY a GAmE FOr GRaFix U BaD” is an argument people have, but first impressions are important.

In general, I wish Blizzard put just a touch more effort into letting us experience older content better. They have all this great content that’s hard to access or experience fully because of mechanics or gating that made sense at the time, but are difficult to clear retroactively.
Timewalking should be applied to all instances AND raids; I understand why they’d keep it to just one expansion at a time (to prevent splitting the queues too much), but there’s no reason Timewalking is only up one week a month. Similarly, with all the fancy level scaling tech now, there’s no reason they couldn’t make all raids Timewalking enabled; I guess the mechanics being too difficult for LFR and doing it just for pre-mades is maybe an argument there, but that doesn’t apply to dungeons.
Similarly, there’s a bunch of old zones they changed with events, and now when leveling a lot of quests don’t make sense: when you enter the Vale of Eternal Blossoms for the first time (y’know, ignoring the fact you probably flew in there already anyway), all the NPCs are going ooooh at how pretty it is… while all I see is a smoking crater from the whole Garrosh thing. (Quite happy it looks like they’re finally fixing that though.)
A lot of event chains are somewhat broken or not in proper sequence either: I was VERY confused when I first got to BfA content, because suddenly we’re at war with the Horde and going to invade Lordaeron and I literally just got back from Argus and was given absolutely no context as to why. They should really fix some of those event/quest chains to make for a better leveling experience between expansions. This isn’t even getting into some of the content that’s flat out not available anymore, or is exceptionally well hidden; if you just play the game, you might entirely miss the fact Teldrassil was burned.
Most of this stuff wouldn’t really require that much work; I’m not asking for any new assets to be added. Pretty much just someone would need to go over the old content and make sure everything is smoothly accessible retroactively, once an expansion is over. They do actually seem to be doing some of this at a snail’s pace, but I just feel it’s a waste how much of the old content is difficult to properly experience.

Isn’t there a few reddit posts about how weird the Horde levelling experience is because of the multiple changes to Warchief and then you make this worse by choosing a newer class or race and zipping backwards and forwards in time.
Like, chronologically speaking, a new player would have no idea in which order that in-game Lore has occurred or events, etc.

Levelling a Zandalari was a wild ride.

Patch 8.3:
“Okay, I finally figured out who’s Warchief, it’s-”
Baine: “We will no longer have a Warchief.”
“Damn it!”
Are you even surprised?
Yes, actually! You might have noticed I have a pretty low opinion of Blizzard’s writers, so I fully expected a return to the status quo.
I’m still not sure I believe they’ll keep this change, and I totally don’t buy Calia becoming leader of the Forsaken for any real length of time, but I’d be happy to be proven wrong in this case.
Me, 5 days ago, predicting that the thing I wanted wouldn’t happen because I wanted it. I want more disappointments like this!
Maybe if the next Warchief wasn’t decided on the fly in 5 seconds or by a barely conscious guy on his deathbed haunted by ghosts, they’d get someone more qualified…
I never accepted the whole High King thing… half the races in the Alliance don’t even have a king or any kind of monarcy, hereditary or otherwise. The idea of a Night Elf or Gnome or even Dwarf kowtowing to a Wrynn just because they’re the original boys in blue is ridiculous. An Alliance doesn’t have a single leader.
Then again, neither does a Horde…

A “Horde” does have a leader, ancient Turkic steppe tribes grouped themselves into “orda” or “ordu”, which in English became “Horde”. Hence the “Mongol Hordes” and the later “Golden Horde”.
I think the Warchief as Khan makes sense for the Orcish Hordes. Blackhand no doubt planned for his sons to inherit, but he was overthrown by a powerful general, etc. The problem is that the “Horde” today is nothing like Blackhand’s Horde, or even Doomhammer’s Horde. I think the title of “Warchief” should only be for the Orcish leader, not the whole alliance.
I have good hope that Ghostlands and Eversong alongside Tirisfal Glades and Mount Hyjal will be updated in 9.0! Quel’thalas because thats where Sylvanas is holed up now; the next big bad… Hyjal and Tirisfal because those will be the new(old) capitals of the Kaldorei and Forsaken!
I hope xD
Why would this be updated?
Here you go.
