After the expansion theories

[Zyerz]

Were getting forgotten realms soon, and Fernando Paiz and the dev team have said they'll focus on updating the expansion as much as possible after release... They already gave an estimated date for update 14, so things are sounding good.

So, what are your theories as to what they might add after the expansion?

Mine are:

A new race: Tieflings and Gnomes maybe? (Id love that lol)

Mounts? (From what I gather, FR is gonna be more wilderness oriented, so who knows)

Visible capes and sheathed weapons (this is something Ive been wanting since day 1)

Not sure about the sheathed weapons and cloaks, but I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of +900 Doesn't Exist in DnD Rapier of Please Buy The New Expansion Pack typed weapons. Gotta keep updating that DPS and inflating mob HPs. Didn't think I'd ever see anyone so oblivious that they would think of an epic dragon as having 350k hp. Maybe now they'll fix that nasty AC bug that causes boss monsters to actually miss people with 110 AC. They definately need more attack because if a monster misses then it just isn't an epic boss.

It works, but is apparently broken for some weapons. The animation isn't there.

There will not be mounts. Stop asking for them, we don't need them.

Rant much about things unrelated to the OP's post?

Some new classes would be nice, like the Spirit Shaman, which is to druids what FvS is to Clerics, essentially. Also, more content for all levels would be nice.

I'm hoping they finish off the Truthful One's stroyline, Dracolich fight!

Really want to see the rest of Amrath completed as well. Lots of unfinished stuff there. What drove the Mad Archon mad? What are the Yugoloth guarding in their prison? The Yugoloth's whole economy is based on keeping Devil, Archon, and Demon powers balanced so they can profit on the war. The archon's were weakened in the war, we dealt a mighty blow to the devils in TOD, now its time for us to weaken the Demon hoard as well. Let us take on a Balor!

Also would like to see the rest of the 3.5 core races added to the game. The only vanilla core 3.5 race missing now is Gnome. Can't believe they still haven't added this. I blame 4.0 for removing Gnome from its core races. But we also need the core eberron races added as well, Shifters, Kalashtar, and Changelings.

I wouldn't mind seeing the 4.0 core races added either i.e. Tiefling and Eladrin. Both of those animation models already exist in the game should be a breeze to add.

Edit: Also would like to see Sorcs and Wizards get their familiars, and rangers Nature's Ally changed to use the Artificer pet model of animal companion. The Ranger pets are horrible and completely useless at the levels you get access to the spells.

How is it unrelated? OP is wondering about what will be added after the expansion. New ridiculous items and mobs with inflated hp because of those items will most likely be added since this is exactly what happened in the past.

And on the ranger pet thing, aren't they basicly supposed to be horrible? Rangers, Paladin's etc have very weak spellcasting ability compared to the druid/clerics etc. They have lvl 4 spells that are similar to lvl 4 spells on the full spell casting classes, except that they get them far later, thus leaving their summons rather weak.

Conspiration theory says, they'll be updating all quests and public locations graphics and dialogues, so it won't be Eberron anymore.

Hold up a second... in 4.0 they changed some races into classes?
Or did you just transpose term usage?
