next expansion?

[Apps]

@apps Im very interested to see how much of this holds true. If Cata is the first of 4 revamp expansions then the future ones are TBC 2.0, Wrath 2.0 and then what? Vanilla 3.0? Meaning the list from years ago off by one. Its missing Wrath 2.0 (Plane Set=Vanilla 3.0(Emerald?) and Legion Set=TBC 2.0) They have already hinted at revamping outland and northrend due to them being outdated. I personaly would rather see wow expand to include the other side of azeroth and/or take us to a new planet.

Yes, I believe that is exactly correct.

A new planet... now theres an interesting idea. I dunno how well that plays into the Lore of the story but, who knows.. perhaps this is how World of Starcraft starts? lol

I don't really care what they do lore-wise, as long as it's not like this expansion. My husband and his friend at work call it an Amusement Park expansion. You get in line {start this questline by killing X}, wait in the line {continue this questline by gathering X of Y from Z}, get on the ride {Kill "Boss"}, get in the next line and start over. Oh, and there's a whole bunch of safety announcements you have to sit through along the way {cutscenes}.

It's way too linear. There's no wandering around and exploring. You don't get a bunch of stuff to do all at once. Everyone is just funneled down one narrow cowpath on the way to cap, unlike, say BC where there was 12 different NPCs at one of several hubs who all want you to do different stuff.

I 100% agree, there was no feeling of exploration. If you miss even ONE quest in any zone you can not continue ( with only a few exceptions ) I liked being able to grab 6-12 quests, and do them in any order i see fit, or skip some if I wanted. You can not do that this expansion.

i find leveling 1-48 a right pain if you miss out the pickup quests the zones about done for its not as bad as most pickup quests are close to 100% drop no more kill 1000 mods for 1 quest itam


but i find am changeing zone a lot as i got to fed up or can not take the pickup quests nomore.

^THIS!! Although I love the game, every zone is in sets of 3-4 quests, and you can't move on to the next set until you complete those 3-4. Not like back in vanilla where you had 20 quests and as you completed one the rest of it' chain opened up regardless of your progression on the others.

On a plus note, this made camping/griefing very easy, as I would know EXACTLY where a horde was bound to be next if he manged to escape me as there is only one path through the quests in each zone.

Well, since cataclysm changed Azeroth a good guess could be next expansion will try to bring new life to Outlands. They could easily make some new lvl 85-90 floating zones appear which up until now were unknown.
If I'm correct Blizzard hinted that "for now Outlands will be untouched" when cataclysm was released. Would also be nice if next expansion also try to bring new life into the BC cities Exodar and Silvermoon.
