Hello everyone! It’s been about
a month and a half since Dragonflight released. The raid has been cleared,
renowns are being filled and for the first time in forever,
i’m actually rolling alts since dragonflight makes it super easy to do so. That does make
you wonder...what’s next for the expansion, what can we expect for the content and the story?
“Tell me...where do we go from here...”
That’s what I want to talk about today! Gather some of the datamined
information and the hints given ingame. Now for those that didn’t catch it yet,
blizzard themselves have also released a roadmap with things to come which is
awesome communication. We actually have an idea for how they want the expansion to play out:
Patch 10.0.5 is for the winter period,
which brings the trading post, primalist tomorrow and white & gray transmogs.
The trading post can be seen on the ptr right now, but I wasn’t able to actually test it. From what I
gather, this will offer you things to do ingame in order to earn their currency from a variaty
of activities and with that currency you can buy some really cool stuff, some that might not even
be available in the game anymore. They’ll have transmogs on mannequins, pets at their feet, and
mounts secured in their stable. IF you don’t have the currency for an item you really want, then you
can freeze that item so that it doesn’t rotate out with the monthly reset of goods. Items that
are rotated out of their inventory won’t be gone for good though—they’ll rotate back into
the inventory in future months—giving players who missed them the first time another opportunity to
add them to their collections. The Trading Post will also include cosmetics from promotions that
are no longer available as well as items normally available for cash purchase on the in-game store
as purchasable items with Trader’s Tender instead. This provides an alternative way for players to
obtain these items. Considering they mae the feldrake available for twitch drops, who knows
what kind of items will be found in the trading post, excited to see what’s gonna be on rotation.
The primalist tomorrow seems to be similar to the element invasions we have right now with
some different rewards. Don’t quote me on that though, haven’t done a lot of testing and i’m
really hoping there will be more to it then go into that zone and farm. Would be nice to have
a bit of story connected to it, it’s already past due to find out more about the primalists.
Their history, their motivation for signing up with Razageth and how they knew how to release
her. The primalistic future could be a cool way to dive into that, but I have my doubts.
The final bit, white and gray transmogs is as the name implies, white and gray items will
become part of our transmog collection which offers so many new outfit options, really cool.
Patch 10.0.7 hits in spring, where we return to forbidden reach,
get human and orc heritage armor and some holiday updates.
The return of heritage armor as we’ve seen with other races before, now for the flagship races of
warcraft. They usually get a bit of story. Going back into human history has us looking at the
kingdom of Arator or perhaps they’l make it closer to the fall of stormwind or hell even tracking
down Anduin could make for an interesting event. Orcs would return to Draenor or Outland,
Nagrand perhaps and go back to their roots. Or again bring it a bit closer with Thrall, could be
nice to hang out with his family we haven’t done that in while. The possibilities are endless, time
will tell. Holiday updates speak for themselves and then returning to Forbidden Reach....
A new quest campaign and repeatable world content set in the Forbidden Reach, as the dracthyr return
to their place of confinement (along with some unexpected guests) to learn more about their
origins and their destiny. This content will set up the next major chapter of Dragonflight,
and by its conclusion, it should be obvious what our next destination must be.
The spot where the dracthyr were locked up by Neltharion with the secret aid of
his brother Malygos after the mysterious titan artifact which
allowed him control over the dracthyr was destroyed in battle by razsageth.
The incarnate was defeated by NEltharion embracing the powers of the void and locked
away right here while the others got themselves private pokeballs in the vault of incarnates.
That’s what we know, but there are so many questions still left to be answered like
what is that titan artifact Neltharion used? Was it tyr’s hand perhaps and what happened to it?
How come the incarnates were so incredibly powerful and what happened during the dragon wars.
How did the primalists know where to find Razsageth and how to set her free?
What woke the dracthyr? Was it the same thing that woke up the dragon isles in general?
That and so much more could still be explained. Currently Neltharions private training grounds
are covered in Lightning, probably a gift from Razsageth but with the storm-eater defeated,
that lightning will pass giving us access once more into whatever direction they want to take
the story. Those big …1 and patch .2 patch storylines with a new zone, new raid, etc.
Right now I’m seeing 2 major possiblities out of all of them. 1
would be the Murozond storyline connected to the dracthyr training zone because,
who could see the dracthyr but not the full story, dropped this line:
“You spoke of an ancient enemies return, it is razageth and the primalists.
That’s why we were awakened. It seems neltharion yet had
ap urpose for you. But he is gone. YOu must descide what path to take.”
He never confirms her assumption nor does he deny it which has some wonder
if the real reason he came here was not razageth but has something to do with
the ancient threat of Moruzond, aka Nozdormu. Going back to the forbidden
reach could unlock more as to why the bronze dragon aspect came here in the first place.
The second option would be going underground and deal with the other
primal incarnates first. Razsageth is defeated, but not before liberating her
siblings. Vyranoth The Frozenheart, Fyrakk The Blazing and Iridikron, The Stonescaled.
“Razageths reckless haste cost her life and they will not make that mistake again.
They will regian their strength and choose their next moment carefully.
Then we must take the fight to them, strike beofre theyre recoverd.
That will be difficult. Iridikrons mastery ofthe earth will harbor them and keep them out of reach.
What is it about this iridikron that vexes you so?
Of the 3 that remain, vyranoth and fyrakk were ever loyal to the incarnates ideals but it was
iridikron who truely embraced the war. The last captured and the most difficult to contain.
At the end, he struck terrible bargains to keep their caus alive. His violent desperation makes
him dangerous. I believe the other incarnetes never knew the true depths of his depravitiy.
It’s hard to say which one will come first. They could decide to wrap up the Primalists
story and then deal with potential muroznd, old god time chenanigans and alternatate realities
or they keep the incarnates away and have them recover their powers while we deal with moruzond,
old god time chenagans and alternate realities eventually leading to galakrond... Hard to say,
but lets gamble and put our money on Murozond first. So Nozdormu went to the Forbidden Reach in
search of forces that could bring him down should the need arise as well as more information on how
Neltharion fell to the old gods. Dracthyr due wield an awfull lot of timebending magics and
we still need to cruise the timeways to get our hands on the disk containing tyrs memories and the
potential key to restoring the aspects powers. Front and center on this quest through time is....
“YEs, timeless one. I will do exactly what you need me too. I will find another way.
There is none. TIme encompasses all possibilities. You taught
me that. I will search every timeline, every moment. Until I find a solution to save you.”
Chronormu will do her best to find another way. Another path for Nozdormu besides his
moment of demise as shown to him by Aman’thul the day he got his powers. BEsides the death
we gave to him during the cataclysm as we killed Moruzond and re-opened the timeways.
One possibility they could go with is that the titans lie and that the moment was not
actually the moment, rather an alternate version of himself and his real death lies somewhere else
in the future. We have a conversation alluding to this idea, that a orderly force like the
titans or the light would look to 1 single path where as a darker force, like the void,
keeps an open mind to more possibilities. Or we could go with the idea that Murozond was
putting on an act for the sake of the purity of the timeline. If the charge of the bronze flight
is to make sure that time happens as its supposed too and Moruzond is the way Nozdormu is supposed
to die...how does that work considering Moruzond is Nozdormu trying to subvert his mortality,
trying to change the timeline. TImetravel headaches, but I could see a Murozond actually
teaming up with us and filling the window slot at the capital opposite of Nozdormu.
Patch 10.1.5 over summer with a mega dungeon like tazaveshj, mechagon or return to karazhen
before. A big beefy dungeon, maybe something in the domain of the emerald dream to deal with
the merithra storyline? Patch 10.1.7 has more stories and quests as well.
We still need to re-empower the aspects, atleast that was Alexstrazas plan and it
failed. We’re missing the aid of tyr and say that we do timetravel first,
that would give us the chance to get the disk with tyrs memories and finish that
mission. At the same time we also still need to help out the flights.
Deciding on who to lead the black dragonflight, sabellian, Wrathion or Ebonhorn who has my vote.
Reuniting the blue dragonflight family, so far the ones from legion have showed up more could return
and bask in the memory of sindragosa. Merithra and the domain of life,
the seed of the night elves and their future locked in the emerald dream
The vassal of life disguises treachery. Beware the eyes of green.
The bronze has been covered before and then mommy alexstrazsa bringing them all together.
Rempowering the aspects to face off against the released incarnates,
season 3 patch 10.2 with a new zone, rew raid and all other things we’d expect.
The reason why we’re thinking underground is not only due to Iridikrons powers and so far being
the proto-version of Deathwing. We also have a datamined map and a datamined mol creature.
Acrosss the isles people have found hatches and the tales of the djaradin
describe how four ancient djaradin elders joined their powers together to burrow deep inside the
earth. The legends do not agree what happened down there, but they all end the same way. The
elders emerged, touched by the fires of the world to be true djaradin, commanding full control over
fire and earth!In turn, the elders empowered all djaradin into the mighty giants we see them as
today. Their infusion with the elements might also be the reason why the incarnates are so jacked up,
giving the aspects a run for their money. That or keeper tyr experimenting with
proto-dragons might have something to do with it. Robot tyr has a lot of explaining to do.
It is said that the four djaradin elders' mastery over earth and fire caught the dragons
off-guard in those first battles. Dragon after dragon fell, until Neltharion emerged from the
Obsidian Citadel with his armies to halt their advance. The elders were hopelessly outnumbered,
but the dragons were hopelessly outmatched. As the elders battled all challengers with honor,
the so-called "Earth-Warder" revealed his cowardice. Through honorless guile
and trickery, the elders fell that day. But not before they had secured permanent
footholds for the djaradin in the surface of these lands. Footholds we still hold to
this day! Some say that the elders did not die that day, but retreated deep into the earth,
where they slumber and recover their strength. One heck of an encounter for when we go underground.
But would we be satisfied with yet another incarnate fight or
could they flip it around a bit and get the mamajamma galakrond back in action
“youll follow him tio the deep places,
the dark waters will flow in his wake. With many eyes they will see again.
They will drink and be uplifted.”
one big threat they thought defeated so long ago. The sins of tyrs past
as well as the origin of the aspects making a return to be the big bad of
the expansion. Would be killer to fly around our costumized dragons while assaulting the
floating fortress that is Galakrond but time will tell I suppose...
That’s not all that they’re hinting with on the dragon isles. We got these weird rune stones,
the locus from neltharion, no sign of Magatha Grimtotem or the elemental lords. Magatha caus
of her student leading the charge and the elements lords because...welll..the
elements play a huge part in the story and they’re not even mentioned yet.
Plenty of stuff still to come and i’m sure i’ve forgotten quite a bit. If you got any nice finds
by all means let me know, but for now thank you very much for watching everyone! SUbscribe if you
like my videdoes, leave a like if you enjoyed this one aaaand until next time....see ya!
