Breakfast Topic: What PvE content will tide you over until Cataclysm?

by Robin Torres Feb 13th 2010 at 8:00AM

We've gotten a lot of news lately about the timing of Cataclysm. It's confirmed for this year, though likely in the latter half. There will be a big pre-expansion patch before its release. Duh. And we're going to have some PvP and PvE content before that big patch. Many are speculating about what the PvE content will be.

The Spousal Unit thinks it's going to be another Troll dungeon, since we're due. I'm hoping for a sandbox area like the Isle of Quel'Danas. Others have expressed hopes of more from the nether regions of Northrend.

What extra PvE content would you like to see before Cataclysm? And what do you think is most likely to happen, regardless of your wishes?

I think a new one-off boss in Wyrmrest Temple would be nice. That whole dragon thing was quite rushed by Blizz. We are talking about aspects here, not stupid mobs, and with Deathwing coming back, they can set some stuff in motion .

That, and a troll raid. I mean, that's their last chance for a troll raid for a while, the old world already has troll raids for every major NPC tribe. So no new troll raids in Cataclysm and probably not in the next expansion (here's to hoping the Emerald Dream gets finally done).

Honestly, I think if they did something with the Sanctums it would probably be along the lines of the Black dragonflight invading the others. Why would we fight any other flights? This would be a nice lead in to fighting the next bad guy (you know, the big and nasty dragon that's been hiding in Deepholm) We could also see some type of pvp/dailies crop up in vanilla world a la Scourge Invasion, but this time it would be world-wide disaster related, maybe even twilight cultist related.

I would hope for a server wide event in which all toons have to kill an insane number of mobs and collect a certain number of goods for turn in similar to the war effort of years past. Each player has a small window on screen showing total progress toward the effort.

If the server reaches the goal everyone gets a special mount/pet/outfit/titles or an item that would be especially useful in the new xpac. If the server fails to reach it ... thanks for playing.

If we predict the numers right we could time this to match Cataclysm's roll-out.

When Wrath was announced there were rumors of a whole underground zone being dedicated to the Nerubian Empire. I was pretty disappointed when I found out it later consisted of 2 dungeons and a brief boss in ToCr.

A whole new zone to quest in and explore would be great.

I'd like to know that those Worgen folks in Grizzly - were really my allies :D

The goblins (apart from the outrageous AH cut in Booty bay) - have been pretty good to me..

But Murlocs ... We NEED to kill Murloc bosses in heroic - Karma is a bitch and all that .. LOL

Gun'Drak Palace - With the defeat of the Scourge as well as the prophets of the Drakkari gods, Frost King Malakk has begun to extend his reach beyond the icy halls of Gun'Drak.

Four bosses, a Gunship style encounter and 232/245 loot. No hard modes.

Make it happen Blizz. Easy, quick encounters with some unique rewards. That would hold me over (though ICC is still doing that job fine).

jack it up to 245/251 gear and that would be perfect. Besides, who wouldn't trade their sword that once belonged to the lich king for....... A little stick with some skulls and feathers. Maybe the rewards could come from cool little extras (drakkari war rhino, anyone?)

Every edition so far, the last raid to be added was a troll one, if I'm correct (Zul Gurub, Zul Aman). I really see Gun'drak citadel coming up next.

ZG was added LONG before Naxx in vanilla.
ZA was added before Sunwell in BC...

Really anything but another isle. Quests that should take 20 mins take 2 hours due to all the ganking. No thanks, I'd much rather have another troll raid.

Please Please Please bring back the RIding Crop! I love WoW and have been playing for over 4 years now and love everything about the game except the slowness of epic land mounts since they took the Riding Cropy away. I don't think we all should have suffered the loss of it just because some people complained about having to equip it. I mean seriously, don't you have to equip a fishing pole to fish or a lance to joust? Why was the Riding Crop singled out then? Please help us travel in Azeroth more quickly again and return a valuable commodity to the LWs in the game.
