i think after the world soul saga we should have an expac where we're essentially picking up the pieces and rebuilding good way for an old world revamp

They really screwed up by not truly telling all those stories and instead just slamming a sudden finish to them in a single patch and completely failing to make use of their potentials. The only way I could see this continuing on is if we somehow lose in the light/void battle but are able to escape to a new world far away.. to survive at least for a long while dealing with new environments and threats and things to explore/discover. Or if this trilogy exposes a new force/realm/entity/etc. to lead into new story potential. Maybe a new cosmic force/realm or what if we find our way into Elune's realm (where she physically resides) and find ourselves in an entirely new situation completely beyond anything we could imagine and that's ever gone on in WoW as we've known it.

After world soul saga we deal with the first ones. I'm sure they will introduce first ones, types of first ones their realms, etc

We certainly need great villains again but i feel like Xal'atath and Iridikron just might fill that gap. Both certainly are cheeky for one so there's that at least. But who is a baddie after that no one knows i guess

The problem is that a lot of fundamental , world building blocks are not clear. Probably because too many people had their way with the lore and the story. You need a single main vision on witch to build other stories. You need something like the Silmarilion .

Psych professor asked me a question once that still makes me giggle. "Whos is the smartest? The man with all the answers, or the man with all the questions?"

I feel like Blizzard is going to make each cosmological force a 'big baddie'. We've fought against Fel, Death, and Void, but we haven't really fought against Light, Life, and Order-only learned about their negative aspects. So, perhaps all the cosmological forces will eventually try to take control due to something larger at play.

Ngl. I'm in for new threats that are completely new to WoW lore. Eventually whenever the "big titan clash" would/will occur, the next thing that would make sense, would be the first ones, and/or maybe a possible chance of higher ranked or older forces that would be above the first ones, like the one and only supreme ruler of the universe in wow.

Hey accolonn did you know that the legion tear of elune has the same horns on it as the winter queen. cool thing anyway.

Could bronze dragon hick-up that sends the player and a couple of key characters into the past be a possibility? X.0 - we go to galakrond, X.1 - something before the sundering......? Or would that be to much?

We cant for sure tell where we wanna go next after the saga. For such assumptions we should wait atleast most of midnight and see how it all plays out. We don't know for a fact, if we are touching some new "matter" in Wc universe or we gonna get WoW2. When Blizz said we are gonna lose first time ever very bad, I like to think of it like we are not even ready for this rollercoaster next 5-6 years. Cant wait to see it all play out tbh, I think this will be great storyline for Blizz to show they can really do good in taking storytelling serious, and deliver on dark fantasy, they are pretty aware we dont want anymore any "friendship and power" or " safe draggy waggy " story themed expansions, we want dark brutal and non forgiving storyline, great character investments and big stakes and twists. Thank god Danuser is gone from narrative now and Metzen is captain of a ship.

Agree, WoW is having a Marvel problem of they want their heroes (US) to be so grand and cool, but you can only be as grand as your opponent. Also it should always feel like you the player have fate stacked against you, as a villain when they confront you already has a plan and as a hero/heroine all you have is your realtime reaction and skill in most fights.

I feel at this point that faction v faction would need WoW2 to justify and a whole new game really. That’s just my opinion after all the recent changes.

Personally i feel the Light. Void, Titans, Old Gods, Legion, Big Baddies is played out. Has been since Cataclysm imho. I hope that these last 3 exppacs bring an end to all of it and we move on to something new and completely different. No more Old Gods, Titans, Light , Void, or Demons. Give something some new and completely different!!

The problem is how do you create challenges for people who can defeat gods? We're at levels of power that would make any normal challenge feel like Superman vs. a purse snatcher.

What we really need is to win and kick the cosmic forces so hard that we end up completely depowered. Paladins and priests can't call that much power anymore same with warlocks and mages, all the artifacts and godly weapons become hunks of metal. Now everyone has to return to small scale lives and battles. No faction war but mancy faction wars with kingdoms and organizations rather than two large monoliths. Make it so that the world itself slowly returns to a routine and all that we did and all that we fought slowly becomes a legends. Only then can we slowly start to introduce both something new as well as the old forces coming back. Rebuilding their power base but on the scale we had until now so that the big fight arrives with the next generation in maybe next 20 years.

I was recently thinking about how other WoW YT channel's are focusing on the "War Within"'s gameplay mechanics but they ignoring that WoW has shitty story arcs. Part of the issue is that Blizzard's writers love subverting their villains and turning them into repentant good guys. This is often done by undermining their motives and most importantly their world views to fit into a cookie cutter pc moral framework held by Blizzard as an organization. In short, you'll never get a deep and engrossing storyline that can sustain itself because actual villains aren't welcomed in WoW. In the end, if you want good story telling look to the East not the West.

I feel like its gonna be pretty difficult creating new enemies considering the WoW fanbase. TBC Illidan and Kael, Garrosh (though not as bad), and Sylvanas are clear indication turning established characters into antagonists or villains doesn't seem to work. Zovaal left such a bad taste in peoples mouths and will probably just shoot down any new big bad even if they plan it correctly.

If you zoom out on the map of uninteresting macro cosmic garbage, you get more macro cosmic garbage. First ones are danuserlands "lore". I wouldn't expect to hear about them again, because SL is brand poison. If Xal'atath is another jailer or legacy of the void amon, the devs might as well just stop writing a story.

Who tf would carenif World of Warcraft becomes a space fantasy warhammer....that is not Warhammer.40k. WoW should die with this last cycle....all the stories have an end....let this story finish with dignity....or what's left of it....

Seems harsh. The cosmic aspect of the wow story was always there if you looked for it even in vanilla so it's not really anything new. The focus being the cosmic story is a new thing and that's what's not sustainable because it requires constant "one upping" the previous cosmic force so to say
