Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Kokolums]

I wonder if we get a Godzilla plot with 10.0. Chromatus can be the wow version of Ghidorah. I can imagine copying Ghidorah's cackling laugh and snapping, curious heads.

[Raetary]

Azeroth dying wouldn't exactly be pleasant either:

[Yusefstrasza]

10.0 will be a Life/Light expansion

[Hyrja]

10.0 will be a Life/Light expansion

Yep, no dragons at all
Blizz jebaited everyone

I mean in terms of cosmic force theme. Dragons are connected to Life.

[Blayze]

legend says that millenia from now the Azshara login screen will be worshipped, but nobody will know why...

and order since the ones that empowered them are the pantheon of order

True but i doubt the pantheon will play a role in 10.0

Life/Dragon expansion is what I'd bet on. With some ties to Elementals.

A Light-themed twist isn't completely out of the question though, especially since according to the Tauren creation myth, Elune should have a twin brother (An'she) with control over Light/Fire. And we know for a fact that this myth is at least somewhat accurate since Lo'sho, the Blue Child, is obviously supposed to represent the Winter Queen. So who's An'she then?

I hope they don't. They can have an implied presence behind the scenes, but we need something below titan level.

[Nymrohd]

If we do get Dragonflights as some sort of Covenant (hopefully cosmetic) I do hope that at least the Netherwing are considered later on. And I do wonder about the Storm ones still. The protodrakes of Northrend do not seem to have the same level of intelligence as pre-ASpect proto drakes. I am less clear about the elemental drakes (like Altairus and Slabhide), they never talk after all. But the Storm Drakes of Stormheim seem fully intelligent and have a decent population. They were also called a Dragonflight during Blizzcon and would perfectly match Gol'ganneth who is one of the few Titans who never gave their blessing to a flight.

I don't know. Even with the regular flights we would get five options. I doubt we would get more. If we do, I want a Cloud Serpent covenant.

Only one type of them. You cold as well say that 10.0 will be about time travel or journey to some underground world, cuz bronze and black drags.

[Yusefstrasza]

Also i hope we get to FINALLY see Elune in 10.0, or the Azeroth worldsoul. Enough teasing Bliz!

[Nyel]

Man we came a long way from last month, here's hoping to hitting at least 2100 before the announcement, maybe 2500 if we're lucky Nothing can stop us with the thread energy!

This is only the case because of the leak. Without it we would be around 1800 or somewhere like that. The thread getting traffic after a "real" leak happens was expected though.

Did something new surface in the last days? Can someone give me a tl;dr if there was something?

Okay well Dragons, Life and light

[Syegfryed]

But what is the nature of Light? Healing, retribution, protection. It destroys the corrupt (fel) and the undead. And when used in divination, it looks for the best course to get you to your preferred outcome. it doesn't force the outcome. We can see that in Velen's prophetic visions. It's not that the Light discounts all possibilities, Velen describes his visions and it is more that it seeks a path instead of showing all paths. I just don't see that as necessarily lawful.

It heals, protect and destroy, how it doesn't force their way into something?

I personally think Elune is a given considering her relation to Life and Elementals, both of which are also tangled with dragon lore. They also need to do right by her after demoting her to "sister of a Covenant leader" in Shadowlands.

[Tephereth]

Hi, is there a channel where we can follow the expansion announcement? I mean youtube or twitch blizzard channel? thank you

I am always here for an underground expansion!
