Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Aeluron Lightsong]

You know, thinking about this, it's quite weird that they don't just consult the other keepers about it.

Surely they would have *some* idea on how to repower them.

I'm sure theoretically they do but.... its not like we're gonna go to the Keepers and watch them rempower the aspects again. Not necessarily because they need anything in particular. No, if they are to get empowered, something is going to cause a distraction delaying said empowerment.

[Foolicious]

Honestly I could see exactly that as side patch content, with Odyn going "nope, I always thought you guys were useless" giving us Ulduar 2.0 (which could be Odyns HoV coming back to Northrend or something).

"There is one final trial that awaits: me"

Already having flashbacks

[KOUNTERPARTS]

Pardon the shitty quality.

I thought he would be bigger.

[Auxis]

Galakrond being some sort of decay or undeath infused dragon due to Yogg-Saron reminds me a bit of G'huun. G'huun was accidentally created by the Titanforged/Titans experimenting on Old Gods in order to find a way to "deal with them" or "find what makes them tick". G'huun ended up being an avatar of pure rot, decay, and pestilence - 3 things that you'd immediately think belong more in the realm of Death.

I wonder if there is a little bit of each Cosmology in the others? Death has Life in Ardenweald, Arcane is chaotic in nature if in excess despite it being opposite of Fel/Chaos, Naaru swap between Light and Shadow, while certain void entities - such as Void Walkers - have been shown to change to elements they have been exposed to (that one void revenant boss in Hellfire Citadel is both Void and Fel, and the Ashbringer's core - initially being a Void crystal (Shadow technically), was infused with, and turned to, Light). It could be that - as the 6 forces spread like fungus across the First Ones framework - the forces weren't entirely segregated and instead intermingled/incorporated each other?

[Xilurm]

I thought he would be bigger.

I mean, he can squash that Proto-Wyrm with his foot, the dragons are bigger than them and the Aspects even bigger. I wonder how Deathwing compares to him in canon.

[Auxis]

I thought he would be bigger.

I mean, that lil' proto-dragon is pretty scale in terms of the first chapter of Legacies. Galakrond ate a proto-dragon and it fit almost perfectly into his mouth, which that lil one on the page seems to fit that size.

I hope not... though I never enjoyed the betrayed constantly story line.

Maybe that's what they were in the beginning and the First Ones just took each one and secluded it into its own plane.

[Lady Atia]

If I'll get the time later I will try and get it all scanned.

There is nothing too interesting in there. Wrathion is listed with the Aspects, Ysera is listed with the Aspects, Malygos' human form is shown, Neltharions human form (and the uncorrupted DS Warrior set people were talking about yesterday) is shown.

It is mentioned that the Titans are busy keeping Sargeras' in check and Tyr is not there so the dragons have to find a way to bless themselves somehow.

Why do I get the feeling this Expansion will end with us going back in time, hence meeting Malygos and Deathwing pre-corruption ?

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey shennigans.

Timey wimey shenanigans that may or may not make sense/retcon the lore feel more or less inevitable to me. If you're going to have Murozond has a big bad, you contractually have to include that sort of thing I say.

As well, I strongly doubt they'd put Galakrond in the first short and the artbook but then not show him in-game, and if you show the playerbase an xboxhueg evil dragon, their first instinct will be to fight it for purples.

[Cheezits]

It would be incredibly stupid but cool if killing Galakrond inadvertantly saves Neltharion, leading to an Azeroth that didn't get burnt by him.

Really stupid reason to have a revamp (world should just heal) but it would be pretty funny.

[Makorus]

People have no leg to stand on complaining about time travel stuff when the whole basis of the Dragon story is based on shitty, non-sensical time travel stuff to begin with, so yeah, bring it.

Knaaks a hack.

I think that this is the most likely outcome. With how Blizzard is aiming their sights on the Titans being questioned (and thusly Nozdormu's perception of a 'true timeline'), I feel like we're going to get a Draenor style Azeroth redo with the next expansion with Neltharion and Malygos making comebacks to some degree. Huge leap for speculation's sake, but, I think that's the appropriate conclusion if we begin questioning the Titans.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I'm fine with this whole Questioning Titans thing but only up to a point(That and my pet peeve about the curse of flesh lore which is dumb but I digress)

where its more complicated about why the Titans might of withheld information.

I need to clarify, none of this is about the Titans themselves. It's about the Titan Keepers.

[huth]

I'm really confused where people are getting the Titans being questioned from this. It's pretty blatantly stated that it was Odyn behind it.

[Sondrelk]

I mean, Tyr seems at least complicit, so it seems to be more to it than just Odyn being a dick.
Still, nothing stating the Titans themselves are actually involved though, just the Titan Keepers being overzealous.

[Revamp Man]

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey shennigans.

I mean with Tennant returning as the doctor then what better time to return to time travel

[Sondrelk]

He is? The current incarnation of Doctor Who was so bad they resort to breaking casting tradition in order to get some goodwill back?
