    I'm still confused as to what the content for dragonriding will entail. Will there be combat? Or is it just a movement system?

    Another big thing about Shadowlands leveling that makes it just NOT work for a new player experience is that you only play through half the story of each zone as you level and can't touch the other half without picking a covenant and even then that is only the other half of one single zone and there is absolutely no resolution to any of those stories the way there is in BFA's zones.

    Can somebody link the original leak post where it talks about darkfallen?

    Darkfallen encompass all undead elves like Sylvanas, including Banshees, Dark Rangers and San'layn.

    It seemed like a given, but then after the reveal of the Dracthyr....

    They're showing they're not ruling out class archetypes for being too similar to existing classes, quite the opposite in fact. Yeah, Undead Elves have been in the horde since vanilla, while never playing a huge role, they've been around for a long time. AND them adding story routes like Saa'ra and Varoth showing that there's more where they came from. But no: Evokers now show that they might put them on the back burner FOR YEARS because now adding Darkfallen-only Dark Rangers as a real class suddenly becomes an option.

    Dracthyr is effectively the death of "Class identity" & the rise of all kinds of class & race combinations only marginally different from ones we already have. I don't hate this idea but I'd like to play a mini-sylvanas soon please.

    Uh, the Dracthyr is WAY different than the other classes in the game. What are you even talking about?

    I've wanted Dark Rangers for over a decade now, I hope one day I'll either get my wish or Blizzard will finally conclusively tell me no.

    I didn't say that's a bad thing. It's fine. But it is certianly a change in their philosophy. Mechanically Dracthyr are unique, but in terms of aesthetics & motif? Fire & Ice & Nature? What are their tier sets going to look like? Cause Fire, Ice & Dragons were Mage's whole iconography until now. Previously they said Dark Rangers are two close conceptually to Hunters but that idea has gone out of the window.

    Probably small specific changes that isn't a full one and I don't expect one either.

    That'd be a double win. Thank you for making me want something else that I'll probably never live to see.

    Maybe Forsaken will be building a new town on the coast of EK that both factions use to get to Dragon Isles? That would explain why there are getting a small update at all instead of just waiting until after the expansion.

    The biggest and most HD boat Horde has right now is the Forsaken boat they added on BFA, and they use it in Exiles Reach, so they probably will use it again here

    Don't know what the Kalimdor changes works be unless it's Hyjal being updated with nelves.

    Won’t people just go to a website and find a build and just use that instead of experimenting with the talent trees?
    We’re sure that this will happen. We’re also sure that people will make fun and distinct builds that work for their own style of playing the game.
    Blizzard finally. FINALLY. Understands what we've been saying for years.

    The same players who looked up cookie cutter builds pre-MoP are still looking up cookie cutter builds now. Those are not the players talents should have been designed around. They should be designed for those of us who actually wanted the customization experience.

    - - - Updated - - -

    It's probably the SW/ORG updates. Probably an area where we can modify our dragon outside of the Dragon Isles hence the stable.

    Maybe some Drakthyr mill around there.

    Honestly kinda disappointed.

    I really liked the Cata revamp and the zones need a damned uplift/update. Some battles are LONG done and over with... show it, please.

    They are working on it. It may just take another five years.

    San'layn are Darkfallen but not all Darkfallen are San'layn. While it was originally used to refer to elves Arthas raised it has been kept as a "name" by the Forsaken for specific groups of their ranks. There is also a few that are not Forsaken as they decided to not officially join after Sylvanas made them Dark Rangers.

    They've been showing it... slowly, and not in the zones that actually needed it.

    For some reason every zone they pluck out of Cataclysm, HD-ify, and then invade by Orcs or Undead are the zones that aren't still literally burning in the immediate aftermath of Deathwing showing up.

    Those are the zones that most need a revamp, and by now the quests have aged so badly that a lot of zones need those redone too in a lot of zones.

    Hell Silverpine starts with the Dead Evil Ex-Warchief calling the Paying Pennance in the Maw Evil Ex-Warchief a Bitch (well that was censored but point still stands) because the latter isn't respecting the former's post of Warchief.

    Of course none of this matters because Blizz was able to sweep the problems under a Chromie-shaped rug.
