Oribos : The new Dalaran is Shadowland

Greetings forums !

This topics is about Orobos, the new hub for all player like Dalaran !
I wanted this topics about what will get Orobos more than our base with convenant and Dalaran.
For me my list will be :

  • Auction house
  • Bank
  • Area for PvP : Jump into the arena and prove your valor. There will be a great hall all about PvP where all PvP player will enjoy themself and a arena zone like Dalaran Sewer in Legion (i remember getting soo much fun there :smile:)
  • Profession quarter : I mean by that we will not have to go to our convenant to learn new thing everytime and come back to Orobos to get Auction House
  • NPC crafting reagent trading : almost like the NPC with Blood of Sargeras.
  • Portal rooms: i hope there will be portal since i don’t see myself Doing flypath everytime ( system with class order hall was good)
  • Mini game rooms ( optionnal) : you got a arena like you can do minigame with other player like european football or something else. Could be fun to do :joy:

And you, what will be your list you want to see at Orobos :smiley: ?

I hope for an AH at least. As much as I’m looking forward to Covenants, I hope that we won’t be too separate (like in Legion each class had a class hall but we also had Dalaran as a general/profession hub). I hope that profession stuff won’t be tied to covenants as that would be a pain and would complicated choosing a covenant further…

They rarely seem to like giving us an Auction House in our new hubs (unless you are an engineer). I can only remember getting this for Warlords (while it was current).

Would be nice though, I don’t really understand the need to funnel everyone into Orgrimmar or Stormwind.

Since we’re in the realm of the dead, should we easily be popping in and out? But then if you go with actual logic we probably don’t need to make gold when we’re dead! (Or not-really-dead-but-hanging-out-there)

Sounds like it’s gonna be ugly, I hope it isn’t ugly.
edit; art seems okay, was expecting purple/black void spew

“Gathering point for broker and soul-traders” that mean they already trade, and souls is the money :smile:

No. There aren’t enough reason for people to use the capital cities as it is

Hairbrushing :joy:
Roleplaying
and mostly different capital is cool just by graphic, personally i just use Stormwind for portal, exept that i’m always in Darnassus doing my Auction house and banking.

Why does it matter? Capital isn’t relevant since Cata.

I just hope the white is not too flashy, like if you play at 23h at night and no light on around you it doesn’t burn your eyes ( like snow in the dark it burn your eyes at night, i hope the white they use for Oribos is not to bright).

You will never see AH in the main hub of the expansions becasue that would make SW obsolete.

How would you portal in and out though?

You’ll be dead in there…or at the very least your body will be in a severe enough comatose it’s so near death your spirit could separate and move throughout the shadowlands.

This is an interesting point for demon hunters within the shadowlands as well, as all player demon hunters are immortals (the only class that is immortal, as dk is dead already). Their bodies do not age and can be remade within the twisting nether if they are destroyed on azeroth.

think this comes down to reduce lag, and nothing else, buy removing AH from new hubs, people have to go to the other cities, par from engineers it seems.

Only for engineers please, that’d be lovely. :blush:

As for other places; I honestly don’t care much. I don’t spend a lot of time in hubs; I’m not a ‘queue and afk hub’ player.

Realistically no, but considering we can even time travel at will between different versions of a zone I doubt there will be any restriction between traveling from the real of the dead and back.

They will still be people in stormwind for the reason it beacause it’s a habit of people since cataclysm to go there beacause stormwind was considered as “main hub” in cata for his portal and Harbor.

But for auction house you can still see people in Ironforge or in Exodar (ok Exodar very few) and Darnassus ( myself i don’t use SW but Darnassus for AH and other thing.)

So incrementing AH in Oribos will not change that. Exept it will lower the number of portal used just to use Auction House.

Why not for non engineer too ?
I mean if we love leatherworking / skinning i don’t see why other profession have to get more loading screen than other proffession.

Since Auction House Mount exist. there’s no reason to set Auction house in main hub.

Honestly; because engineering is already hugely useless. And having an AH in hubs is one of the few perks it has left.

Engineer is pretty usefull for Elite player for multiple reason :

  • Auto hammer in mythic+ : in the case you can’t mount, engineer is usefull
  • Battle rez : in mythic + you can be accepted if you are engineer with this
  • Auto-failure pylon : you don’t waist time in raid to rewalk all the way to the boss

Just for a profession and item not usable by other profession i feel it already strong enought.

That why i want Auction House for all i, Oribos and not only for engineer.
