Comment by Shahaman95Doesnt look like Shadowlands. Just another planet in Nethertwist like Outland. Maybe rename it to the Lightlands or Prosperlands accroding to the some introduced zonesComment by oddRobotoYou kind of get that Exodar's "huge and empty" feeling. I'm not sure I like it.Comment by JorthYou kind of get that Exodar's "huge and empty" feeling.

There are no NPCs or anything else around atm. It's just the structure which is a huge floating tower in the middle of this giant sky (based on photos and streams). Relax man.Comment by orca2017Um this looks like the version of the undercity but in the shadowlands..why does blizzard love circles so much there are other shapes they can use such as the octogon..or a triangle..even squares..what about a nice rectangle for a changeComment by euryaleIt feels too empty and weirdly cold. Not a place I want to be as my home base.Comment by Gentleboy99I think a gnome shrank all the doodads and people as a prank for the picturesComment by NirdanaI guess it can't be worse than Zuldazar.Comment by MightyBunnyKingLet's just say: I'm not a fan.Comment by random12smileHow big is Oribos compared to Undercity or Ironforge, cities with somewhat simmilar shape and layout?Comment by AlkaizerAs it is I find it very boring. Alpha is alpha, but looking at Oribos's design I don't know how much they can add to it without changing the base structure.Comment by keratheenDoesnt look like Shadowlands.

I imagined a city like Shattrath or Dalaran, so like an actual city with buildings, squares, streets and stuff like that, while this is just a big floating castle with rooms and halls for npcs, just like Shrines in MoP. I imagined this as a great city ready to welcome every wanderer of the Shadowlands, a refuge for everyone who needs a place to call home, just like Shattrath in Outlands. I don't know, I can say I like it but it's very very different from what I imagined when they described it at Blizzcon.Comment by GeppettiaI can't say I'm disappointed because in the end I think I like it, but meh.

I hope this is just the hub for the core game elements and that there's a lot more to Oribos we're not seeing yet, because if this is it, it's particularly uninspired.

It's okay to build elements for immersion that serve no other purpose or game function, Blizz... something for roleplayers and explorers to really sink their teeth into.

Some day I'd love to see a city with the sort of size and layout of the Monk class order hall, like Suramar or Boralus but without having to deal with aggro NPCs for questing elements. :)Comment by thaaraelDoesnt look like Shadowlands.
