Revendreth is basically Victorian Gothic, and I'm not sure it would meld with Maldraxxus' martial monsters.<br /><br />Something completely new would have been interesting, but it's pretty unusual for Blizzard to do something like that, without resonance.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-65155877239294763202020-11-26T13:18:16.658-08:002020-11-26T13:18:16.658-08:00The spikes on the bridges felt like someone was tr...The spikes on the bridges felt like someone was trying to make sure enemy groups couldn't march across / take control of them. Not that they would likely work, but fantasy is full of these impractical inventions. ^_^<br /><br />I felt like Maldraxxus and Revendreth (aka, Gilneas with vampires) could have easily been combined in the same zone. The Maldraxxus part would be the grunts that fought in the wars, while the Revendreth part could have been the out-of-touch High Society that supposedly ran everything. Basically, the former could be in the barren wastelands outside the latter's castles. Then Blizzard could have done something totally new (for the franchise) for the fourth one. Give us an afterlife for a culture we haven't seen before.Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-20562382782793819092020-11-26T08:09:22.917-08:002020-11-26T08:09:22.917-08:00You're right about Broken Shore being much the...You're right about Broken Shore being much the same as Argus.

The central city and the "Heaven" zone (Bastion) look fine, Maldraxxus is as ugly as the Maw, and I'm not sure I'd put Revendreth much higher, even if I find the quests to be better than Maldraxxus. Maybe it's because I'm a druid, but I find Ardenweald to be way better visually and marginally better quest-wise.Helistarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435861741164342377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-51964067233282102272020-11-25T14:35:35.443-08:002020-11-25T14:35:35.443-08:00> Argus had a similar problem (though with adde...> Argus had a similar problem (though with added green for fel).<br /><br />yep, Argus was pretty ugly, especially considering how before that we quested in Broken Shore which had the same broken rocks structure, it got old fast.<br />Argus would have been better as a separate expansion with a bigger world to explore.<br /><br />Jogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766795601028230655noreply@blogger.com
