Also looks like Infinite themed customization for dragonriding drakes mayhaps?

Neat, probably from the time rift stuff, I would think.

[Cheezits]

This is semantics, but the new Dragonriding Cup Icons refer to Kul Tiras and Zandalar as "Great Sea Islands". Maybe they will refer to future islands as the South Seas islands?

[Le Conceptuel]

Knew the moment we discussed nerubians this shit would spread here. Still, it's a solid hint at something in the future.

Please Teriz don't go any further on this subject. You already have a dedicated thread.

I confess fault. I opened the avenue for him.

Developers’ note: With the arrival of the new warlock pet customization system coming in Fractures in Time, we will deprecate the Glyph of the Observer customization.Our reason for this is to ensure that each demon retains a similar silhouette across all available customizations, so that each demon and the functionality or power they provide to the warlock is easily understood by other players as well as the warlock.

observer's been in the game since pandaria - more than 10 years, and now they talk about easily identifiable silhouette?
what enflames me even more is the "easily understood by<...>the warlock". the same logic killed the best spell in the game - Symbiosis. just because braindead devs get confused and annoyed by something, they delete it. sadge

Was any loot from megadungeon datamined? Or nothing in there yet?

I wonder what Lothar and Grommash will drop, i know what i would like grommash to drop but when it comes to lothar i wonder if he will have some unique weapon drop..

[Cosmicpreds]

Bad memory on my part then. Fair enough!

You're all good. I imagine you probably were thinking about the Azsuna thing with Farondis' confrontation with Azshara?

Nothing on the journal at least.

I'd say probably the HM reward for the megadungeon

[ImTheMizAwesome]

I hope loot will be similar to mechagon megadungeon, where i think most weapons and other items had special effects.

Now i wonder, if Gorehowl would really drop, what kind of special weapon effect it could have?

Edit: Just went to PTR and they added red eyes for grommash and it just occured to me that i won't be able to fight grommash on my main orc..

Yeah that's what was coming to mind. Its been a while and I do remember her eventually in her Naga form but I couldn't recall if she first appeared in a sort of "form you are familiar with" way.

Unrelated but I saw a post on the wow subreddit this morning, though it seems to be gone, that showed Iridikron from the dungeon saying word for word one of the lines from that Naga Harbinger book, specifically saying "A hunger lost to the ages will be reclaimed." Found it, though it may be removed soon, Iridikron quotes it and then says "One which I shall reclaim!" so...yeah he's after Galakrond's hunger it seems?

[Santandame]

Said it a couple times and I’m sticking with it.

Iridikron’s goal is to consume the essence of each of the major cosmic powers. He’s being built up as an overarching villain for the overall story of WoW. He’ll consume essence of Decay/Death from Galakrond in the mega dungeon, as well as Life in the Dream, with his hunger leading him to Light, Fel, Void and Order in the future.

He’s joining the camp of Azshara, Denathrius, Xal’atath and Sargeras as future big time villains that can operate over the greater story. All the while continuing to give us a draconic threat, replacing Deathwing so to speak but on grander scale.

This is quite interesting.

How do people feel about Galakrond appearing as a meal/powerup rather than as a boss in his own right?

For me, it seems a little cheap or that the dev's didn't count on how much interest there would be in addressing Galakrond in a dragon expansion and have since found a way to include the character somewhat tangentially.

Still, looking forward to 10.1.5 more and more each day.

Galakrond’s scale sees to it that he’s better as a plot device than he would be as an encounter.

With cross factions you could proabbly just have an alliance party leader and then go smack him around on horde toons.

I do rather like that idea, building up an overarching enemy like that.

I don't mind really. I've always thought he was simply way too big to be an appropriate fight.

The Paracausal trinkets match the Time Rifts so they probably come from that, not the megadungeon

I think the last five are all from the dungeon.

"A dark heart left broken awaits the taking."

Any guesses?

[Aeluron Lightsong]

"A dark heart left broken awaits the taking."

Any guesses?

Whatever remains of the heart of Y'Shaarj? I have no idea.

[Kiivar86]

Whatever remains of the heart of Y'Shaarj? I have no idea.

Does anything even remain? Far as I recall all that was left was a puddle of goo that dissipates.

Doesn't mean it can't still be around in some form though, I suppose.
