Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Lady Atia]

I would love to see Togglewaggle in WoW. Hell the last time kobolds showed up in WoW was a Hearthstone reference anyways (with the Darkness Card) so why not continue to bring more in. Tho before anyone says Hearthstone isnt cannon thats true but there are some good ideas that have and should continue to make their way into WoW

True - they already gave us Tortollans so anything good from Hearthstone should have a chance to appear. Honestly, the last few Hearthstone Expansions felt more Warcraft than Shadowlands anyways so it would be healthy for WoW to adapt some things from their sister game.

Now that I've found my avatar and signature, let's talk about how drobar are definitely in Dragonflight as an important race because they are related to Deathwing and definitely will feature in a black dragonflight zone.

Actually, trolling aside, we may see Drogbars again in the future along with Ettins, there is a missing link that was retconned during Legion and left... open.

Tortollans are probably the biggest thing that came over. We also have the Hearthstone Original League of Explorers members that made there way into the game in both Legion and BFA. And the Darkness reference as mentioned before. I honestly would be shocked if the Hearthstone mercenary characters that we followed for the last year didnt make their way into the game. Specially because with the theme of the expansion Kazakus(Kazakusan) is probably another one that could make his way over to WoW easily.

God I hope so, not just because the Drogbar are the coolest race and embody the gym-rat archetype better than any yucky orc ever could /s. But because, they-who-shall-not-be-named, they actually would have a strong lore reason to be there.

Drog'dorei for allied race confirmed.

I definitely could see them adding Kazakus to a potential black dragon-flight zone. He has a cool model in both dragon form and mortal form, and it's very different from all the elves and human mortal forms we see.

I want a kobold raid set within their cave complexes with 'The Darkness' as the final boss.

Have the whole thing revolve around candles.

Ettins could appear on Balor if we get it with Dragonflight. And Drogbars were implied to be corrupted Titan experiments similiar to Throggs so we could see their origin if we get that Uldaz zone too?

Isn't 'The Darkness' just some random rare in the best zone ever developed, Highmountain?

Also marks off the troll related checkbox for the expansion even if he actually is a dragon. Now I not saying this will happen BUT how funny would it be if he was actually the main bad guy instead of any of the actual cannon characters people are thinking? Really dumb idea but still funny

The Darkness was a legendary card in Hearthstone that was a 4 drop 20/20 that once u drew into all 3 candles he became active.

[ercarp]

Jokes aside, drogbar would have a pretty good reason to be involved if we're getting new black dragonflight lore.

But I also wouldn't count on it because they seemed like a one-off kind of thing that was specific to Highmountain... A bit like grummles (MoP) or pygmies (Cata); did we ever see either of those outside of their respective expansions?

Lol black dragon troll raid combo? I can dig it. You've had lightning, jungle, forest troll raids and sand/ice troll dungeons and. Now, get ready for the missing element, lava troll raid.

Which was based off of a mob in Highmountain.

Where do I sign? This would be AWESOME. An epic, light-hearted kobold raid, with a dark shivering twist at the end! YES.

I honestly forgot that Kobolds and Catacombs came out after Legion lol

Weren't the pygmies supposed be somehow related to the goblin ancestor race?. I think Drogbar would honestly (not doing the bit here) be a better predecessor race to Goblin. Fewer racist stereotypes. Also kinda works with how Goblins made the metal plates for Deathwing if I'm not mistaken.

Oh yes! Also Reno from the Explorer's League who is already ingame is actually a dragon so we could see him too in his blue dragon form with 10.0 <3

They do share a common ancestor with goblins yes, that's all we know!

You are giving me he-who-must-not-be-named flashbacks.
