Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Vakir]

We haven't had to listen how Deathwing was the mastermind, but we were listening to really long how these old gods are masterminds controlling from the shadows... even while imprisoned... And it just makes no sense that every time we destroy their big minion we go back to forgetting about the one behind it (like how long was it before we dealt with Nzoth after he tried to destroy everything with Deathwing).

That being said was it ever explained why all of the Old god prisons failed at a similar time, or at least they became active at similar times. I know it is probably just for game lore reasons to explore all of them but could be that the prisons each weakened at their own pace and then they tried to awaken at a similar time.

Yeah, when you put it that way, it still has its issues and is perhaps worse. The worst was how much the guys behind him fizzled so hard. I get why it was better for the longevity of the story, but having the Void Lords be the "fo realz" threat and the Old Gods be not just killable but their sentient assboils definitely took a lot of wind out of their mystique and made the chapters we dealt with them kinda weaker in retrospect.

Either way, I feel WoW is at its best when their characters have colorful personalities. There's a way to do every archetype under the sun and have it work in its own way. Unpopular opinion, but I felt Arthas was kinda done a disservice with the Doctor Claw voice when he originally had brilliant moments like awkwardly thinking the Nerubians were calling him traitor king, having an actual weird friendship with Kel'Thuzad, and borderline leaning on the fourth wall before the last TFT mission by talking about "ending the game."

If I remember right Yogg's Prison was slowly weakened by....Chogall to help influence the keepers. Don't know about the other Old Gods.

Holy crap how hard is this fight on normal?

I seem to recall a quote somewhere that the devs wanted it to feel like the last boss of a raid. From what I'm seeing on the streams, they've succeeded so far. Makes me excited to see what the bosses look like next week.

[micwini]

Watch limit kill it first on HC while the rest struggles on normal :P

[Raetary]

Everything else is not true - he is visually unique (etherial chains, etc),

He is completely indistinguishable from a common maw mob.

is goals are way more established then Garrosh just being angry arrogant alpha

His goals begin and end with the phrase "I will reshape the universe", what the fuck that entails is everyones guess.

Whereas Garrosh had actual established goals and motivations, we knew what he wanted to do it, why he wanted to do it and how we wanted to do it.
And we learnt about him and engaged with him throughout the story, unlike Zovaal was and still is a walking enigma that just appears once every hour to shout one liners.

he does not go around being 'evil.

Walking around in slow motion and yelling about how insignificant everyone is his whole personality.

[TheFirstOnes]

Listen, I hate timegated raids. I'll wait next week or summ

You are 100% correct. When the model was datamined, people thought it was just a random maw mob

Stahp, you just don't have a preference for his very unique and fresh archetype.

Lamoth is nuts, or just pretending the Jailer is better than he actually is. You've got the right of it, 100%.
