    OK so an extra continent, we got more Azeroth! "Risk containment of our other prisoners" suggests that there is a prisoner (old god?) there.
    Together with the idea that the Black Empire was not all horror maybe we'll find a place of enlightened chaos-aligned flesh of curse'd titanforged there.

    I would like Dragonflight being the remnants of the Titans & Old Gods coming together against elementals but they absolutely refuse to give is a simple villain whos intentions aren't ambiguous. Is it really that hard to give us another Arthas?

    She thinks Celeborn is dead & she has this budding romance with the guy who she thinks is Aragorn's grandfather...only to reveal its actually Sauron this whole time. They didn't bang (yet) but its this big seduction thing. Like Sauron legit loves her, and wants her to be his "Dark Queen, as beautiful & terrible as the dawn.

    Razsageth hates Titans for enforcing order and wants their followers dead. It's a pretty simple motivation that is explained overtly... however, she's a giant purple derp dragon, so it doesn't come off as cool as Arthas.

    It would be really nice if we could go over an expansion without blatantly retconing half the established cosmology.

    But i guess that's too much to ask.

    Yeah but we kill her by the end of the first raid. They tried an omni-present villain for the entire expansion in Shadowlands but he didn't have as much characterization as Arthas. For Dragonflight, who knows who the actual villain is?

    I think the book spells out really well that Odyn desperately wanted the Keepers and the Titans to be revered as THE gods, which... didn't really work out on Azeroth. It's a great villain motivation IMO and he's #1 choice for an Order Villain considering the heinous shit he has done over the years

    For all we've seen, that did in-fact happened. Odyn just left out all the stuff about some robot-f*$kers being their bosses.

    Have to say, the design is really derpy.

    That's what happens when you are doomed to be the first boss of the leveling campaign that features much cooler, plot-relevant villains like Galakrond and Nozdormu and Magatha Grimtotem, if that old datamined NPC list was correct

    Omph. Straight scrapping the barrel from Diablo lore if they go there. I mean the rebel titan is even called Innaria.

    Let me guess, her and this Old God make a race of super beings as their offspring?

    I mean, the actual aesthetics of Raszageth are derpy. The beak like head looks silly and even sillier when she is talking. Actually while I am hoping they will improve that, every time a dragon talks in the cinematics it looks weird.

    I am assuming she is named Innaria to be Mesopotamian. We got Odyn for Norse, Ra for Egyptian and now Inanna (Sumerian). Waiting for Anu or Enki but they might give us a female leader for once to get their quotas.

    He has huge pride and arrogance, there are several other keepers who have not done as many bad things as he has. You can make order in good and bad ways (see: the fact that several keepers protested against mind control drugs for dragons)

    He also, unintentionally, doomed much of Azeroth to the Jailer, the Legion and the Lich Kings. So that check will have to be paid eventually

    Yeah, my point is that because she is disposable they didn't try with her design. Denathrius had to look cool because, even if he was intended to be thrown away, he is a major lore figure after the reveal of the Nathrezim.

    So, I don't know if this is relevant or accurate, but I just bought Dragonflight, and where it said "Upgrade Available" on the launcher, it now says "New Beta Available".

    I already had Beta though. Not sure if they just take the same space on the launcher or not so it just didn't show before, but it kinda makes me think they're giving beta to people who buy it now?

    The text is there for anyone that has beta.

    I have it, am in the beta, didn't pre-order yet.

    Hm, weird. Wasn't there for me before buying it.

    Perhaps. I hope you're right. Because they've been no stranger to borrowing story elements from their own IPs before. But straight up ripping off names is low brow, even for them.

    The only issue I see is that I would assume the new hinted continent would share the name convention as well. Not something based on Avalon.
