WildStar was great and we all miss it dearly
About halfway on the lore, takes forever.
Funny idea, but wrong game
At best you would get a single zone with this theme
We already have Badlands, Voldun, Tanaris and Uldum so weâve got enough deserts
Player housing is over rated and doesnât need adding to the game
Guild Tavern would be the only thing worth doing
Open world PvP is now also dead so bounties will never be a thing
Guild Tavern? Isnât that what guild discord servers are?
Yeah, but the RP-ers would love a Guild Tavern wouldnât they
Also, it would be cool to be standing around in the tavern while also on Discord
And for crafting with all the stations together in one place etc.
This wouldnât kill cities like Garrisons or Player Housing did/would
Because it could just be a small building in a city on the promenade with phasing
Guild Achievements would unlock innkeepers/vendors/crafting stations
Hmm, interesting
That would be awesome, but it will probably drag Blizzard into a political mess.
To have an authentic western setting you would have to tackle some unpleasant subjects and the world is simply not ready for it anymore.
No, no, no, no, no, no and no.
Lawless NO
PvP NO
and how is this fantasy?
How is it not fantasy? Nothing is taken away, just different setting.
Iâve pictured wild west x scifi but wild west x fantasy not so much⊠just canât wrap my head around it. Having said that, I would love a dual pistol option as a hunter.
We need a shrinking of the Wild West, not a further expansion.
The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson is set in an approximate version of the âold west.â It takes place on the frontier of that fantasy world.
A Book of Tongues by Gemma Files - Has a strong horror tinge, but is very much a Western.
Joe Abercrombieâs âRed Countryâ maybe. The setting is not the ârealâ Wild West however it is "Wild West"esque.
Thereâs Territory by Emma Bull, which is set around the gunfight at the OK Corral, but with fantasy elements.
Also, David Gemmels Jerusalem Man trilogy is set in a post apocalyptic earth, but with a very old west feel.
Red Country by Joe Abercrombie is very explicitly written as a western.
The Half-Made World by Felix Gilman is New Weird + Western + Steampunk, and brilliantly written.
Read Felix Gilmanâs The Half-Made World and The Rise of Ransom City â basically exactly what youâre looking for. Wild West setting with a war between giant demon trains and supernatural gunslingers.
Or check out Wolf in Shadow, Last Guardian, and Bloodstone by David Gemmell, the main character, Jon Shannow, is a gunslinger in a post apocalyptic âwild-westâ earth.
That doesnât sound like it fits WoW at all.
I would still love to see a South Seas expansion; lots of exotic islands. Hidden jungle temples, volcanos, beaches.
Off to Zanzibar! To meet the zanzi barbarians!
Like a pirate expansion?
I can see that as a reality, the new addition that comes with it can be the ability to own ships.
With lots of water, pirates make sense, but I wouldnât want it to be all about pirates.
I like the exploration part. The exotic locations with hidden temples, lost cities, mysteries, jungles etc.
Sinbad themed expedition
(or Pirates of the Dark Water if any whippersnapper remembers it )
No thanks⊠Wild West settings just arenât my thing; donât think they fit a fantasy setting, not even if Brandon Sanderson tries his hands on it with the Wax and Wayne series.
Firearms and Cowboys just arenât magical⊠theyâre down to earth with a too big american ego âwoho, untamed land we have to conquer and feel like tough boys while taking it away from the nativesâŠâ, really donât want to see that in WoW.
To be fair the warcraft world has firearm and machinery and many other fantasy games have firearms and a gunslinger class of some sort.
Im not imagining to be exactly like wild west yee haw, but you will see for yourself, almost soon finished.
The whole outlaw spec is centered around those pistols⊠so we already have it
And in the vanilla intro who could forget that Dwarf hunter and his gun?
