It’s Monday. Alpha begins Thursday. Secret Alpha is Tuesday/Wednesday. Literally anything can happen. We could get info drops all week, tomorrow, Wednesday, not until Thursday, who knows. Regardless, I have my copium tank and I’m ready to go!
All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.
Will certainly be interesting to see what the bonuses will end up looking like. Blizzard essentially has two options, either make them entirely devoid of the talent tree options (or at most the mandatory talent) which is easier to balance but more boring. Or make bonuses that cater to specific builds and playstyles, which is more interesting and fun, but also likely to lead to pigeonholing during PvE seasons.
Not sure what option is actually best, but I am curious what it will end up being regardless.

I wonder if the potential for heavy Elemental lore (first raid in DF, dragons come from elements, elune?) is why Cairne got kicked back and Durotan didn't appear.
I mean sure, but that is clearly not a Yaungol.
The Yaungol where hanging around the South of Kalimdor throughout all of their history, a long ass way from the Isles.
If that model has any importance, it's probably gonna be some new Tauren tribe that allied itself with (black) dragons and ended up there, rather than be their origin story.
But then again, Centaur were the spawn of Theradras and whatever the name of Cenarius' son was, and now we have a whole tribe that is completely unrelated to them and predates their relationship.
So, who knows?

Things Id like to see today:
- Confirmation of a summit (if any)
- Datamineable build
- More talent trees
- Dragonflight systems blueposts
- Videos with developers talking about whats coming in the Alpha and what they worked on

I was alluding more towards unpicked talents being involved - just from the top of my head current frost DK has glacial advance (a dead talent for the majority of this and previous expansions), assa rogue got a version of exsanguinate for their dots etc. These examples are from the most recent raid, so I don't think it's a far cry for blizzard to make a tier set surrounding something that gets skipped often in the new trees?
3100!!!
3100 hype!!
Not long now and we will migrate to the proper Dragonflight General Discussion thread, and so the cycle will begin anew.
