Where do you want the story to go?

[Saeryn-auchindoun]

By choice. Which ties in with the leadership of the Horde. As far as I’m concerned there should be no one leader. There should be a round table where every faction in the Horde is represented by one leader. That way nobody is overrepresented or misrepresented by one specific leader.

So a Warcouncil instead of a Warchief? That could work.

As it stands, the Warchief position is pointless when everyone does what they want regardless. I just wish that the faction leaders would be portrayed as a bit more interested in the welfare of their faction and not just react based on how much the Alliance is hurt.

I think the idea is that Baine represents a portion of the Horde that are not willing to sacrifice their honor for the sake of victory.
While Sylvanas is more of the “victory at all costs” school of thought.
I mean, resurrecting someone’s dead sibling in order to break his mind through torture in order to control him so he can kill his own sister, is beyond “Bond villain” levels of evilness.

For that matter, the Alliance could follow the same model since there are several races suffering from misrepresentation to such degree that the Alliance could be summarized as “Humans & Buddies”.

It seems like Blizz is dead set on maintaining the “Humans vs Orcs” feel of the Alliance and the Horde. Just look at every expansion where new bases were built. In 90% of the cases it’s Human and Orc architecture.

It’s purely idiotic to have the factions become buddies after the countless fallouts they had.

Personally I would say it isn’t much better to keep the war going after all the times they’ve cooperated, and now half the leadership are friends too.

I think WoW suffers from trying to please everybody, and in so doing, ensures that no one is happy.
Because now they’ve pulled the “We gotta end the war!” card again, but we all know they’ll suddenly play the “We gotta restart the war!” card soon enough.

At this point I wouldn’t mind ending the faction war permanently, but that’s because of how the story is written recently.
If we had been enemies all the time, not this back and forth between friends and enemies I wouldn’t mind the war being endless.

Sylvanas has made a deal with Helya to save the spirits of all those who have been slain in the war, Teldrassil burned to save the night elves rather than destroy them, as Teldrassil was corrupted by the olds gods (no one knew this though).

That wouldn’t go over well with the “We hate Sylvanas!” crowd…

PvP is conducted outside of the LORE, BGs, Arenas and such still remain relevant. Open World pvp is no longer possible.

That would anger the PvP playerbase I think… I wouldn’t care personally, because I rarely, if ever, do any PvP.

I would AT LEAST want to see the factions dismantled. The war is over, no one has won. The Horde lost the war. And so did the alliance. This is conflict for the sake of conflict. We protect nothing, we save no one, we fight and kill for the sake of fighting and killing one another.

I agree here though. The faction war at this point, has no goal…
It’s just there to give an excuse to PvP and doesn’t make much sense storywise anymore…

jaina to die horribly, the boy king to get killed by hogger, the horde to get devastated by a shadow chappie mind controlling their leaders, all alliance and horde citys to burn to the ground and the raids to be about killing the horde/alliance leaders (not just slapping them to 1% and they wake up sorta blah blah)
Thatd be a good start.

Once all the leaders are dead, then what?

Sylvanas fakes her death in some cunning way.

Then me and her settle down a nice quiet place near the water and live happily ever after, while new expansions with pointless endless grinds with no real content continue to anger the masses.

She’s still a corpse though, so you’d have to get used to cold hands and feet…

I want to bondage Sylvanas, that is the only direction story can evolve into and satisfy me.

#NeverForgetTeldrassil

I’m just gonna assume you didn’t mean the kind of bondage I thought of once I read your comment.

Gnomes and Dwarfs take over the leadership of alliance.

They have been underrepresented for quite a while Or well, the gnomes at least. The Dwarves have King Bling.

I would like to see sylvanas outed but i want to see her gather all the elfs, from both side, the horde and the alliance where they can start a new third faction.

The Night Elves too? I don’t think they’d be too keen on joining Sylvanas in her Elf Faction after what she did to the World Tree

I would like to see tauren become the leader of horde or orcs.

Baine seems like a leveled headed enough guy to lead.

What I want is plain and simple.

A restart.

N’zoth wins, heroes lost, hundreds of years later we ( The heroes ) awaken with no memory or recollection of what happened, we discover a new world ruled by the old gods as they try to corrupt Azeroth.

We get to see what happened with the world, what happened to our factions and other nations, and go about our journey as adventurers.

So a WoW 2.0 kind of? A new game built on the “ruins” of the last one?

I’m okay with nearly everything as long as Sylvanas doesn’t get a redemption arc or suddenly becomes the one leading us all against the next big threat. Blizzard did nothing to make her more sympathic, more the exact opposite.

I agree, they’ve gone a bit too far for a “Redemption Arc” to make sense.

The Bin

Hehe, does that mean you don’t care about the story in general or just that you despise what the writers have done recently?

So, what i am really interested is, Calia and the LF undead.

That’s interesting, I’ll agree…
I’ve heard some theories that Calia will lead a faction of the Forsaken who turn their backs on the Horde and join the Alliance.
The people of Lordaeron reunited under their rightful ruler, who is undead now, sort of.

But whether this would mean just an unplayable Forsaken faction joining the Alliance or whether they’d be playable, is something people disagree on.
Some hate the idea altogether.

I would like to go back to Northrend, Shadowlands sounds too depressive for me. I want to go and hear the violins play in Grizzly Hills again. When it comes to Sylvanas i hope they just fade her away, i am so bored with that plot and the whole moustache twirling villain stuff. She could annouce retirement and rent that farm from Thrall and start to grow cabbages. They can replace her with Calia. As wild plot twist Bolvar would be going crazy as current Lich King and he would be replaced by Anduin, who would finally get to be really cool character. Meccatorque would be new leader for alliance.

Night elves should just leave alliance after getting zero help when their lands were taken. They could continue as neutral race, perhaps with taurens.

N-zoth ehh i don’t raid so i suggest we get daily quest to kill N’zoth with herring. Like beat it back into the water kinda thing. Sorry not trying to make mock out of my story here but i really don’t know where to put N’zoth, just don’t want any tentacle dudes getting too much attention or importance. I want less darkness and tentacles and more colorfull murlocs and furbolgs and boars. Not hellboars just normal fatty ones dropping good meats for cooking.

[Азриил-deathguard (Азриил)]

You want her dead? Or just removed from her position as warchief so she can keep doing whatever she’s doing?

She can exist for her fans, or … something, but I want her off the main-plot, sight and stay somewhere in fan fiction or side plots (for those, who like her). I, surprisingly for self, 1st time in wow history have not been able to play Horde side of the lore and story because it is as boring as reading tax forms and even tax forms have more character than she does. And BfA is 1st expansion where I have not done 100% of lore quests as every time I hear Nathanos drool over Sylvanas or Sylvanas open her mouth I just want to log off. Blizzard should pay me subscription to play Horde side of BfA, not way round.

She is my most disliked game character all times. Best for me would be kill her, but since she has somesort of cult following by some fans, this is not happening, so I can hope they just write her off the focus. For good.

[Nagrash-draenor (Nagrash)]

I want the story to progress in a way that the world as we know it changes and not just for max level players but for every new character that gets created to feel the effect of what happened; an Old God is free.

(This would also mean Blizzard has to -finally- fix the time-skipping that happens during leveling in whatever way they can)

I’d like for the factions to come together permanently(atleast for PvE) and stay that way. I don’t mind Sylvanas staying but her actions right now might make it possible to unite so I’m fine with her leaving the Horde.

I’d like for the story to have actual consequences and a world that progresses around us. We’ve seen them do this before with the Molten Front thing but then on a much bigger scale.

[Victorya-ravencrest]

I want the story to go to a place, where Blizzard fix the pruning mess instead of filling the holes with bandaid “legendaries” and essences lol.

Fix the classes, and I will go anywhere the story might turn with a smile on my face

[Kazmodeus-tarren-mill (Kazmodeus)]

I’d love to go to the Shadowlands.

As HUGE Old God - Black Empire Fan.

I truly do wanna see Ny’Alotha within the Shadowlands.
And i’d love to see the Black Empire in the next expansion!.
