That was my problem too, i wanted to play WoW, even after i did my LfR-raids for the week (Which were cool, but the “You don’t deserve proper raid gear, LfR-scrub!”-thing dampened excitement a bit), but there was preciously little to do out in the world (Until Blizz finally got the memo in the Tanaan-patch)
That, coupled with Garrisons generating resources and the very late introduction of flying, led to the whole “Everyone was just sitting in their garrisons!”-complaint.
The Horde side of the housing system basically looks the same as garrisons for another round. Instead of going after the aesthetics of the most popular races they stick to Orc huts AGAIN. Blizzard never learns.
They said those are the starter aesthetics. Likely picked due to race population among the players (see https://www.dataforazeroth.com/stats/races). Other race architecture will follow in future patches.
Orc and Blood elf, and for the Alliance Human and Night elf, which are the four most played races in the game according to the first WoW population data website i found on Google.
So that sounds like a fairly good starting point for housing designs to me.
Thing is orc aesthetics are ugly. Everyone agrees.
You’re right, i also agree, so use the Blood elf exterior options instead.
@Croil
Let’s see… We are going to get:
No, I don’t think this is going to be WoD because of Player Housing. This is plenty of content for a new, decent expansion. I’m content.
It going to be good one
No it’s not.
I want forsaken themed housing for horde as an option,
in an area that resembles duskwood.
yea not a fan of these orc huts
not blood elven architecture either
They make the same mistake as 11 years ago. Ignoring all past feedback.
4 new* zones And being happy with 4 zones lmao
storyline that means nothing since filler… like TWW
new delves cool… expect gear to be nerfed so maybe pointless, they have nerfed them every season so far…
could add 101 dungeons I don’t do them outside first week for gear…
Raids meh.
race isn’t content… same for spec.
and the new system sucks lol fill a bar to kill target, if target ambushes you, you can’t kill it they just run away…
world teirs is just moar damage moar hp as seen in remix… lazy design.
and for increased price tag.
WOD introduced the “fill the bar” quests with Tanaan Jungle, isn’t irony fun
So Midnight going to be all bad for you but you going to play it anyway and complain that this just sucks?
Not be buying it… or did you not read? Maybe on deep discount when more content is added… or like I said last patch when its free…
Cata cured my Wow addiction lol can sub for a month here or there 
Not for me! It’s Horde specific, it is what makes Horde THE Horde
Hell no … Don’t use everyone if you cannot prove that 100% of all players don’t like it.
We will have Human, Night Elf, Orc and Blood Elf aesthetics anyway
Garisons where huge part of WoD gameplay and it was must for game progress.
While Housing is just artistic additon to game - you don’t have to touch it if you don’t like and still progress in game.
Of course I can. Blizzard trying to put orc stuff everywhere is a shame.
