    10.3 is basically guaranteed now. Unless they are planning on DF being the expansion with the least content ever.
    I will not reply to posts that are non-constructive or contain flaming and/or trolling.

    I still think it should have been a surprise if it was. Or rather, a PR disaster.

    It looks that way... but... I need more confirmation. That said... theres no tree being planted yet(I think its possible that giant tree model from beta might of been the original plan but that changed) That one image we talked about earlier the past few weeks.

    Smolderon is a Raid Boss as the new Fire Lord, after we PUT HIM THERE.

    I feel like we really, REALLY need to stop helping the Elemental Lords at this point, and just let the little shitters destroy themselves.

    Initial thoughts!

    I'm still glad that we're going into the Emerald Dream. I'm sure I will enjoy the patch, because a lot of this is right up my alley.

    That said:

    • The zone feels way too basic for me. It's not ugly or anything, but it doesn't look like it brings something new. It looks like Val'sharah. The Emerald Dream should have something a little extra about it, given how it's basically a spiritual realm of life. Everything we've seen looks just like a real, regular forest zone. I would at least have liked open meadows, misty lakes and rivers, or something to make it stand out from the crowd.
    • The legendary weapon being Fyrakk-based just sucks. It should be Life-based when we're inside the Emerald Dream. Using a powerful weapon of Life against its enemies makes so much sense.
    • The tier sets look very mid, at least most of them.
    • The events and gameplay we've seen looks very much like a direct continuation of what we've seen in Dragonflight so far. I guess that makes sense, because it's the toolset they've built for the expansion. But it would have been nice with something a little different. Like a major feature akin to the Mage Tower.
    • They're updating the Rogue and Demon Hunter classes, but not Druid and Hunter, inside the Emerald Dream?
    • They're giving Blood Elves new customisations, the race which already has by far the most?
    • We barely saw the Dream, and what we heard and saw of it didn't really look awe-inspiring.
    • Nothing about Druids for all races? What?

    I'm gonna try and stay open-minded for datamining tonight. Maybe little snippets of news will be uncovered, with cool transmogs and music we haven't seen or heard yet, etc. Actually going there might feel great!

    But right now, I'm changing my mind. 10.2 looks like a mid-expansion filler patch, not the final patch. 10.3 is back on the menu.

    Here's why the raid sets aren't very druidic... because the outdoor sets are.

    Oh, great outdoor sets again. Imo probably the best casual reward from DF so far was the 10.1 campaign mog.

    Hard to say what is what here, but I do wonder whether it's fair to say that the best sets here are the ones that had the worst set in Aberrus.
    Hunter actually looks good (unless it's shaman of course), and the Druid set pales in comparison to the stellar one from Aberrus.

    DK set looks the same as it always does, which was to be expected.

    Evoker doesn't seem to be finished yet, but curiously did seem to have new customization options in dragon form.

    Meh, to me 10.2 is looking underwhelming, predictable and boring as expected. Dragons dragons dragons dragons. I can't wait to get DF over with.
    I hope you guys like the new patch though, the devs worked hard on this update, no doubt. Respect.

    Haha, told you guys DKs were getting a leggos.

    God damn I hate these cringe format interviews with these devs.

    Nothing on the turn story line so looks like 10.2 isn't the final patch.

  13. #15673
    Updated flame cat model, let's hope druids get that as well.

    I'm dissapointed there weren't talking about open world challenges. Unless this is seed thing, but that sounds like another event not challenge of any kind.

    Which is which I wonder. First I assume is plate, and last is probably cloth. I suppose mail is second and leather is third, just to give druids the option of Malfurion style winged arms.

    The tree wasn't planted on the isles to beginn with.

    The whole idea is that it grows in the dream and then crosses over onto Azeroth when its ready.
    That's the whole premise.

    Honestly for me this is hugely lack lustre, again.

    Do we really need more 'ITS A ZONE BUT WITH LAVA/FIRE!' zones in this xpac? The raid looks uninspired and the dream looks somehow less wild than Ungoro, Nagrand and Zuldazar? How did they manage that?

    Honestly this just doesn't seem like enough. I know it's a lot of content from 10.0-10.2 with two new large land masses but they're both pretty weak.

    Not sure what I was expecting but it was definitely more exciting than this.
