Another expansion is on the horizon and yet again Blizz has made me excited, disappointed, angry at the same time. Sure it’ll be quite some time before it is released, but just knowing that progression now will mean less with another 10 levels to grind makes it far less exciting to grind out rep so I can gear up in heroics. I personally think Blizz should re-evaluate the 80 cap and bring it down to 75 and then give us alternative advancement through hero class specializations.
Don’t get me wrong, the death knight sounds cool, but it just seems weird that it’ll be similar to unlocking jedis in SWG. There’s a ton of questions that hopefully Blizz will address over the next couple months; Will a DK trivialize tanks? Will he be capable of solo’ng a lv70+ 5 man? The play mechanics sound refreshing, but again … what will it do to the existing game?
Overall I can sum up my take on the new expansion with this question: “Where the hell is Diablo 3?” Then again, if they did make D3, I’d hope they wouldn’t take a page from the current WoW dev team. I don’t want a rep-grind diablo, I want something heavy on action, heavy on fun, but most importantly … Diablo.
Now onto random thoughts regarding the new expansion …
Dalaran is floating over Northrend?
Where the hell is capentry as a profession?
Will Azeroth be reworked to allow for flying mounts … eventually?
Will 1-58 be reworked to be more rewarding/quicker?
Will Frostmourne be required to unlock a death knight?
