What do you want to see in Midnight? (which is mid august @ gamescom)

For me its:

  • new physical ranged dps
  • reduced button bloat/more classfantasy (for example reduce the burst for dot classes and buff their dots a lot)
  • a bit more guidance/less burden of knowledge for newer players
  • nice housing
  • new race(s)

We already know housing is coming, so I won’t put that on the list.

  • Something that is not depressing and dark and that is definitely not underground.
  • Better, more fun, engaging world content.

Overal I’m not hyped for Midnight, honestly. That might change once they start announcing things. I guess that is my biggest hope and dream.

Midnight will be the new expansion?

Why are people so excited for Sylvanas to return?

She’s not the evil banshee queen people were so infatuated with anymore (Her whole character has been mangled since BfA), and basically the whole “unashamed evil” thing (While impossible to reconcile in a “We’re all heroes!”-game) is the only appeal to her character i can think of (Besides zombie T&A, but it’s not that vacuous, is it?)

I mean, she will be back, of course we’ll have a Windrunner sister reunion (Now with extra long soulful staring during cinematics!), but why the excitement?

First: Badass Metal vibe brought back to the story. Don’t care how exactly, just somehow. Could be a change of scale, a big soft-reset event, or going back to roots with faction, whatever Blizz decides is right.

Else: Same as you, and also multiplatform - i.e. play on any device

This sounds also nice too:

I hope they have more stuff planned than just the housing system. As someone who played both FF14 and GW2 I can say that most players generally don’t care about housing systems and that system alone will not carry the expansion. Hopefully there is a new race or a class or maybe 4th spec for non druid classes. Something, anything.

Only reason I’d be excited about it, is if she can be killed for good.

In no particular order:

  • 6-man parties (less than a snowball’s chance in hell of happening)
  • Rework specializations so that every class becomes able to fill at least 2 roles
    – Shaman tanks!
  • Reduction of complexity on the various systems, especially crafting
    – For example reduce the 4 types of crests into just 1 crest, entirely remove valorstones, reduce equipment tiers down to 2 or 3 than the current 6 (Explorer, Adventurer, etc. Myth)
  • Consolidation of legacy currencies or outright removal of those and replacement with pure gold
  • Reduction of ability overload (ie. abilities having more than 1 effect [for example Mage Blink has 3 effects: Blink, movement speed increase and shield]) and instead allow overload of the type where one ability can at times become more powerful (for example allow Warrior’s Charge and Shield Charge to be just one ability with Charge becoming Shield Charge every 45sec or so)
    – Have more cases where an ability is superseded/replaced by another (like how Surging Totem replaces Healing Rain for Resto Shaman and then can also become Downpour)
    – Replacement of passive talents that alter an ability’s effect / interaction with other abilities with boring +X% ones. Everyone just copies cookie-cutter trees anyway, let it be easier for us to make our build as we like it by allowing us to buff our favourite abilities even if the end result is non-optimal.
  • Controversial one: Removal of racial abilities in Mythic Raiding, M+ tiers above the last achievement tied to them and rated PvP, and superbuff them in every other content regardless of how unfair it can be.

  • Story plot twists, bring back N’Zoth!

  1. Rich and fully customisible housing system with tons of new things to collect from both old and new zones. Housing theme for all existing & future races with race themed housing object options aswell.

  2. NEW CLASS, NEW CLASS, NEW CLASS

  3. New race would be cool aswell

  4. Something new to pet battles, a new content, other than new pets

  5. Less complex pvp. Current skill tree system should stay tho, it is a master piece. We don’t need a billion ways to cc, too much makes it less fun.

  6. World PvP REAWAKEN and encouraged with new systems. It is pretty much dead in retail, you get to see only short fights when war cache drops and it is usually short and unfair number of ally vs horde.

  7. Continuation of class halls

  8. More customization to class skills(glyph), many new hairstyle, tattoos, looks, hd graphics to bodies and hair and all like dractyrs

  9. A new profession

  10. 2 profession per character limit removed, 1 char can take all professions at once

  11. Archeology updated and back with the current expansion

  12. Coloring system for transmogs similar to the announced coloring system for housing

  13. In-game voice chat for open world non group members for those who choose to speak with one another when they come near eachother

  14. Report system changed, it is completely nonsense atm.

  15. Take what Musician addon provides players and apply it all to the game itself.

I am so done with caves and cave systems, dark delves and all that claustrophobic nonsense. I just want to breathe again, to see the sky, to walk through greenery, lush forests, rivers, prairies… anything with open space and broad horizons stretching as far as the eye can see.

  • Plenty of new customisstion; mostly for elves, as those are the races I care about, but in general wouldn’t be bad either
  • various new glyphs for all classes
  • good looking transmog; cloth that actually looks like cloth, not thick rubber; shoulders that aren’t comically huge
  • good story with our characters involved for more than NPC backup…

New class, the Tinker :+1:

But I’ll settle with Ethereals.

Would be fun to see an entire capital city mainly occupied by Ethereal players and NPCs

More customization options, more new hairstyles and updated old styles. Silvermoon and some other old zone updates to modern graphics.
