    I'm glad the voice-lines for the Dracthyr are in!
    What are your thoughts?

    You would be 20000 years old. Just because something is frozen is ice, doesn't mean that time freezes as well. A mummy that is 10k years old is not 60 years old just because thats the age they died. Age is time spent being around. Not time spent being active.
    I will not reply to posts that are non-constructive or contain flaming and/or trolling.

    Sure, numerically they are old, but if they were stuck in stasis, then their entire physical/mental progress completely stopped. So they can have 10000+ years, but mentally and physically they are the same as 10000+ years ago. So their age is nothing more than a number now.

    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    Age is nothing but a number, if you were preserved for so many years you are still that many years old even if you were not active within that timeline.

    Boring, outside the one trolling the playerbase, which is going to cause the playerbase to troll that playerbase to the point it's insufferably annoying.

    The female dracthyr also sounds... off.

    Yeah for some reason I would have assumed the Dracthyr to sound a bit more arabic.. since Wrathion is also a bit inspired by Arabic/1001-nights with his getup.

    There's age and then there's biological age. The latter is not the same as the former. There are things that can slow down or accelerate cell ageing process, so while in absolute terms they would be old, in relative terms of biological age they would still be young.

    I never really understood why characters that get thrown into the future or are frozen or something (like Captain America) use the age the are relative to when they were born. Doesn't really make sense. That experience that comes with said age never happened.

    Haven't won any giveaways no.

    Just wondered if an invite wave had gone out. If I get in I get in, I’ve been in the last few betas so don’t mind either way

    You'd think that with the prevalence of time magic and magic in general age really doesn't matter to a creature like our character.
    I mean seriously my guy's been posessed by Teron Gorefiend in tbc, has had felsteel hammered into him in Legion, has been to the land of the dead, other dimensions, alternate times and so much more yada yada.

    RP-wise i can just go like "Oh well he took a bath in the emerald dream and as a realm close to the cosmic power of life it completely rejuvenated him.".
    Seriously the spring of eternal youth would not be an all that special occurence if found in Warcraft, especially not for us.

    If ageing and the like were anything realistic in Warcraft the least we'd all have by now would be cancer.
    Probably cancer that whispers to you.
    This is a signature of an ailing giant, boundless in pride, wit and strength.
    Yet also as humble as health and humor permit.

    Furthermore, I consider that Carthage Slam must be destroyed.

    We think that pvp players get the cool looking armor for their drake. Raiders get a flying mount and that m+ers get a ground mount that uses a kodo skeleton(most likely). All in an expansion built around flying and dragons. That's what we think

    The M+ mount is also the easiest to get by far. Only top 0.1% get the Gladiator mount and farming Mythic endboss for the mount isn't trivial task (not even by the end of the expansion because those who already have it don't bother to come to the farm runs anymore, so you are always rolling against fresh batch of 20 players).

    But anyone with half of a functional braincell can get KSM. That is basically the bare minimum requorement for M+ content since the Valor upgrades require that rating too.

    So yeah, least impressive mount is the easiest to get. No surprises there.

    Can only speak for myself but I specced blue side with some middle talents and I'll kill any single target before it's taken more than two steps towards me, cleave to two targets and kill those equally easy and shred groups of up to five without taking damage by using a cd like instacharge flame breath/eternity surge. Level 68 with all quest gear by this point.

    It could still be a unique drake customization option. You don't strictly need to have the most unique appearances only from the most exclusive sources.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    Tip: If you really want to play any of the modern expacs, play it in the last month it exists. You will literally breeze through everything.
    Relax.. Its reputation. You have alot of time to build it up

    That rather goes against why i would play it, so it is quite bad advice.
