Stormwind Royal Guard and Lion’s Guard NPC’s does not have the new Heritage Armor or Stormwind armor on Retail realms.
I feel they look so outdated and needs to feel far more impressive <3
Change my mind.

i agree. would be cool to have NPCs in cityes or even old world with new armour.
On wowhead there was an article that showed a datamined set for guards of Ironforge:
perhapds they could do something similiar with stormwind, Orgrimmar and any other old cityes of both Ally and Horde

Why should the?
I mean ur would be nice uf the get an graphic upgrade but other hand us just work for nothing because the guards are a joke, first you cabt entirely skip them because you fly from the keep garden inside and those guards were worse than the usual one (compare the hp) , they shoud be an obstacle (that is the intention if a royal guard) which they are not, a blood dk, guardian druid or prot pala coud braided rush in and face boss alone while the guard are two hit or death after one good aoe ability.
“If” the change them sometimes they ahoud them more challenging.
And in my opinion they shoud make the capital a non fly zone for the enemy faction because uts actually too easy, the shoud fight through the city and not bypassing the whole defences.
Just increase the range (aggro and attack range) of existing AA Gurads, increase the amount of of then and give the enemy players an debuff like in bc when flying over an enemy base to be shot down after a few seconds.
And place some balasta or other lagre AA gun on the gatehouse like structure at the entrance of an district with large range.
And yes, that applies too OG because ust just move fast in and out.
The most generic guards, definitely need an update. Some older characters could still get away with the old sets.
I believe they’re made simple so that players can actually get about when invading a city. You’ve already got a ton of murder-hobos AFKing in the main square to contend with.
If people want to try and kill the Alliance Leaders, its tough enough with any players nearby to contest it. If we had raid boss guards too, it’d be a bit unfair I think.
As for flying, we already have aerial patrols. If we need more, we need more but flying in is part of the strategy!

Agree, but I think the same can sadly be said about the whole city of Stormwind. It needs an update badly imo and be made into something that feels like an actual capital (in the same vein as Boralus).

Well what I saw (experience) from the alliance when stormwind keep is under attack nobody cares, only when trade district because auction houses and bank.
And the keep is on the other end if the city so people must move while OG have it easy because is at the main plaza.
And tbh, faction boss is a joke an god tank and two people are enough to take them down whole rhe gyad die only sone standard attack which caused less dmg then the usual stormwind city guard.
One the one hand people complain WoW is much to easy, on the other hand want it easy as possible or like an free kill.
Which you can bypassing completely when you fly from the rear right into the courtyard.
Ther os no real strategy just ignore them completely and it work.
Well, they could have it that the guards are naturally strong, but just decrease in power the higher population in the area? Could then help with raids on cities that don’t see as much traffic.
Yeah, it’s a bit of a shame that people don’t care, but you can’t predict when they WILL care. Cos sometimes they do, and then come down in droves!
The main issue is incentive. The Faction Leaders are generally just tank’n’spanks becuase it’d be impossible to deal with mechanics AND the potential legions of aggrevated opposition players.
The fun was the lore significance of you going in and slaughtering thrones. The community impact of each raid. The intermingling. Nowadays people play WoW for the gameplay loop mechanics. Getting loot. Rather than actually playing it for Warcraft’s sake.
If there was more incentive to both invade the cities AND defend them, then people may be more inclined to engage.
The only other issue is phasing. WPvP isn’t as fun anymore, cos you might never see anyone of your faction, or the other faction or that one person who ganked you ever again. You could be the only soul in Stormwind while the entire Horde cohort on your server descends upon the keep!
The flying patrols are still there. Bypassing them or not, its not meant to be hard. Again, these aren’t meant to be Mythic instanced levels of difficult. Its open world and there’s a lot of human-powered threats that can get in the way.
It has to be kept simple for the save of potential variance!
The portal room was a great start though.
Sure, but that’s more a convenient thing than anything else.
I want them to update the buildings, the npcs, the details, the size… all of it.

well, it woud be nice, and i had a little list to, for example removing the WoD portal at the Hill behind mage distric, i mena, seroulsy that thing is now 5 or 6 years there and shoud be shout or torn down becuase what happend in the dungon, is not th brightes idea to have the conetcion right into teh capital.
They coud use the space for some more luxirous hosues or an wizzard school (and no, the tower is not the magic academy…)
And remove some trees behind the actuel outer wall of the mage dirstric and push the wall more to the mountian, i mean did you see how many space it there, it will be enought for a whole bunch of buldings or a long lane along the current house/wall line.
Give the city gurad a proper Barracks, tehy coud move some montains or flat them.
Give the habor some warehouses and a proper shipyard, something that resembels an acuty habor because the is so much open space there.
but tbh, that wont happen for 2 resson: to many work for blizz and they coudn`t somthing similar to Og because there is no space to extend the city (because canyon) and it woud be unfair toward the horde SW got somthing wile Og not (the only horde city that coud aculy entend is ironicly silvermoon ebcuase teh ris such space behind the uneses part of the city)
