Should Blizzard be the first MMO TO RETCON THE GAME?

Imagine…

Blizzard remove EVERYTHING except Achievements, Mounts, Toys and Transmog from the game that have been introduced in BFA / Shadowlands / Dragonflight… That means BFA, Shadowlands and Dragonflight Lore, Dungeons, Raids, zones all removed meaning unless you’ve unlocked it upon the expansion release… you will never see it again…

Things such as Evoker, Unlockable races can easily be re-added with a quest chain with Zones being introduced to back them up since they are already designed…

Stuff like the profession updates can be kept in the game but everything else virtually pruned…

and Now imagine, the New expansion follow World of Warcraft Legion…

WORLD OF WARCRAFT: Black Empire

Although the Fel Corruption of Sargeras Swarf has been cleanse, the damage is done… The Sword has mortally wounded Azeroth itself and the World Soul is dying and to make matter worse, shockwave from the impact has finally broken the chains allowing the Old God N’zoth and his Black Empire to return at full force…

New Zone: Nyalotha!

  • Entire Old God Lovecraftian zone has been risen in the South Sea and it’s corruption is spreading across Azeroth causing War across the planet, pitching the Horde and Alliance against each other once again.

Continue with your order hall

  • You will now have to lead your order hall into uncertain times, as Horde and Alliance Politics effect the very foundation of your Order Hall whilist battle the horrors of N’zoth black empire. Lead the charge and set up a new order hall on Nya’lotha! - Orde Halls will have no interaction in Player Power but simple a LORE / Leveling tool with transmogs, mounts and new class specific challenge modes like the Mage Tower.

Evoker added

  • The Dracthyr (Evokers) have been sent back in time from 1000 years in the future as the perfect creation of Wrathion to help battle N’zoth…

New Class designs

  • Every spec has been reverted back to Legion design but with alteration to bring back more Class Fantasy, introduce new and old spells so that the reliance on the Artifacts. GCD change in Legion had been reverted.

PVP Template return with more customerization

  • PVP Template have returned back to wow however unlike in Legion, the player will now be-able to choose which Template they have. Similar to a missive, PVP players will be able to choose which stat they will heavily favor as a template. Template are all set up with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd stat with you choose which is prioritized.

Tier sets return

  • Tier sets will return with the base Tier Set appearance having 4 different colors which are accessed via M+, Raiding, Arena or Rated Battlegrounds.
  • Tier elite sets with the Elite tier set appearance having 4 different colors which are accessed via M+, Raiding, Arena and Battlegrounds.
  • Tier Sets are not active in PVP

Solo Rated Battlegrounds

  • Introduce a solo rated Battleground
  • Rotates 1 map each week
  • Each game will be given equal Healers and DPS
  • Maximum 1 tank per team
  • If Tanks are in the game, you will have the same Tank on both sides

Solo Rated Arena

  • Introduces a Solo Rated Arena
  • only 1 Game per Arena not 6
  • Maximum 1 tank per team
  • if tanks are int eh game, you will have ethe same tank on both sides

Mythic Raid+

  • Once a Mythic Raid has been complete, Unlock Mythic Raid +1 which scales every mobs health and damage by 3%. and Trash mobs will now have the same affixes as Mythic Plus dungeons.
  • Once Raid + Can scale infinitely and if the raid is not complete (All bosses killed), The Mythic Raid Key remains the same. This means by week 10, you could have a Mythic + Raid with each Mob having 30% more health and damage, in addition to the affixes on the trash.
  • Mythic Raid+ does not have more powerful loot but the bosses will drop 1 more item per Mythic Plus level.

In short, no.

I’d love a sequel one day, but without another golden age of MMO I doubt that’ll happen.

WoW is what it is, and for all its faults, it’s had great times too and we shouldn’t wipe out the past even if it’s not entirely to our liking.

I’m not for retconning it…

However, if we put our minds together and really think hard, hard for us I know.

With our collective mega nerd infused mind engaged we can teleport you back to the start of the legion/BFA development cycle to suggest it then.

Why are you this late…

I’m frankly annoyed.
