Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[ercarp]

What I'm eager to know is if one or more of these guys will show up on Dragonflight.

Chromatus, ehh, doubt it. I have a feeling Blizzard doesn't even remember he exists.

Murozond was already dealt with so him appearing now makes no sense.

Galakrond is the most likely imo, but I wonder if he's thematically a bit too closely tied to Death, given that we're just wrapping up an expansion with the same theme.

[therumblings]

Wasn't it stated that we will have to fight Murozond again?

[Wangming]

Wasn't it stated that we will have to fight Murozond again?

"It was stated" isn't actually set in stone, when it comes to Blizzard. Granted, from the trio of Galakrond, Murozond and Chromatus, I would pick Murozond. He actually has a chance to be a compelling villain.

[ercarp]

Now that I think about it, we still haven't seen the present-day Nozdormu become corrupted, go mad, and become Murozond as he said he would, so that could very well be a plot point for 10.0. I wouldn't hate that at all actually.

EDIT: Showing this happen in the expansion cinematic would also be cool as fuck visually.

[Nymrohd]

Wasn't it stated that we will have to fight Murozond again?

Yup, Nozdormu says so.

I'd like to fight Murozond without time travel being the focus of the plot. He could be attacking a revamped Cavern of Times. Oh imagine a "best of" raid where we try to defend the Cavern from Murozond and he constantly shifts us into different pivotal moments in time forcing us to fight different raid bosses from the history of WoW, only revamped. Could be a chance for them to do justice to some fights they messed up originally. Have a "shattered timeways" area that looks like the Emerald Nightmare raid only includes fights like C'thun, Malygos, Deathwing, Lei Shen or Xavius (well Lei Shen was awesome the first time around but all the others could definitely use a new chance to be epic encounters).

Would be interesting if we follow Nozdormu's story across the xpac only to see him effectively break in 10.2.5 and be the final boss.

True that. Also Nozdormu needs to finally go, so that Chromie can step up.

So Anachronos and Soridormi are trash?

[Cosmic Janitor]

Practically noname dragons, they can kill them off during the coup.

While chromie is a famous and beloved bronze dragon, it would make more sense for Anachronos, the son of Nozdormu, to step up

[Cherry123]

Said this before, but it's probably just a model with simple priest clothing since he's stepping down from the throne for now, and no longer in a war.

if so, then "clank of metal armor" is not about him. 19th there will be more details

Ooooh, what if it's Saurfang?

[Khaza-R]

Doesn't Galakrond change based on whatever he consumes? Like if he ate naaru wouldn't he become a light dragon?

[Grimbold21]

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!

That's a lot of useless back and forth.

[micwini]

That's a lot of useless back and forth.

Oh it's not that hard. You just have to rally a few people. Let's summon them together:
- Tinkers, mechs, gnomes, goblins, undermine
- Void, Old Gods, N'zoth, Ren'dorei.

That's a hearthstone mechanic, not anything actually established.

[Veluren]

That's a Hearthstone thing, which the mainline WoW devs try to keep a step separated from Hearthstone besides minor cameos (for better or for worse because they've had some fun ideas and given us some unique art that'd be sick in WoW like the female Dragonkin, ethereals and redone Wolvar)

[Glorious Leader]

Some of the content was hard. I hold a grudge for this. This is officially a personal insult to me and they don't value me as a customer because they sell something I don't like. Sure, the supermarket may sell apples and I want apples, but they also sell oranges and I hate oranges. I could just not buy the oranges, but I will instead blame the orange-buyers and the selling of oranges for why people have stopped coming to the store. It is the fault of oranges. If they sell oranges, I cannot buy apples. They need to stop selling oranges NOW.

And in fact they should continue the shop at that super market to subsidize the apples i like.

Any source for that or picture ??

As I said, useless.

Alternatively, we have a completely new and original dragon - the Prime Aspect - who has been leading the dragonflights from the shadows all these years but has actually been orchestrating their downfall for no discernible reason. Now that Wrathion is trying to undo that whole fertility thing, she reveals herself and her involvement in everything from the empowerment of the Aspects to the creation of the Dragon Soul to Alexstrasza’s captivity to the corruption of Neltharion!

The Prime Aspect’s name?

Elunaria.
