#

imo double points if she directly helps us with an alliance of convenience at the end to deal with iridikron but then instantly turns on us once he's dealt with because she is NOT our friend/ally

#

(unlike so many other times when villains turn antihero and just end up being edgy good guys)

#

a villain who knows to use us when the offer is presented, but is staunch in being strongly opposed to us

harsh mason
#

I'm just reminding everyone that Vyranoth KNOWS about Void and understands that they are using it for their own purposes. She literally says that "we are using dracthyrs to get them to release void"

rain cave
#

not necessarily that specific

#

she says she's ok releasing the aspects worst nightmare

harsh mason
#

Personally, I think she is no better than Iridikron and is well aware of all the plans

rain cave
#

we've yet to see the end cinematic

#

should be close no?

#

but yeah I think what's going on is they're fine with voidier stuff because it's more chaotic, and voidy stuff has allied with the elements before

#

e.g. the elemental lords, ragnaros

#

they could be going for a twist here, where iridikron may be bargaining with the light

#

which is similar to order, it's its own kind of order

#

and is ofc tied to tyr

harsh mason
rain cave
#

yes

#

I'd find it funny if they think there's a big void entity in there

#

but then the place we fight sarkareth there's nothing there

#

like it's already gotten out

#

(maybe xalatath's body or something)

#

and they just go

#

"wait hol up"

crystal pond
harsh mason
#

I'm still wondering what will happen with Igira. She definitely doesn't die in 10.1, as she commands Fyrakk Assault on a par with Fyrakk

crystal pond
#

Good cutscene but like
I dont enjoying the fact that all other cutscenes in 10.1 was a little bit goofy, and then talk about Ebyssian and Emberthal have high quality

#

Wtf why

#

"Legacy of deathwing have only death"
And a little bit spicy void

harsh mason
crystal pond
#

I mean the animation

harsh mason
#

I realized something here, not every raid had cinematics. Usually there is no cinematics in the 1st raid, but it was in DF. So there may be no cinematics in the second raiddracthyr_tea

crystal pond
#

There will be

crystal pond
#

He just falling to his knees

harsh mason
silent urchin
#

No cinematic from raid, guess we gotta see what happens in the final chapter

#

oh apparently there is one

#

just not immediately on boss kill

harsh mason
#

I told that not every raid had cinematics

#

They don't always made cinematics to raids. That's why I remembered that it's not a fact that it will be. So far, we have one large cinematics and one short one in 10.1. According to the idea there should be another one, judging by datamining

#

Now it remains to understand where that zombie-void-dracthyrs will be used

glass flicker
#

Easy to say. Trash for the next raid.

uncut vault
#

there's a short cutscene after the fight

#

where he just goes "oh no dad why did you do this" then dies lol

harsh mason
#

There's also a final chapter on why People turned off the stream after Sarkareth?????dracthyr_cry

uncut vault
#

none of them had the quest for it

#

they went right into the raid

#

the rest of the story will require the raid kill quest, like with Dazar'alor

silent urchin
#

is the final chapter even available this week?

uncut vault
#

unknown

silent urchin
#

I assume no sign of blue dragonflight quests, or cause without a rebel

harsh mason
#

So it will open for weeks. Most likely

#

Are there 6 or 7 chapters in Zaralek?

#

Because there is a 6th chapter in the raid. If 7, then there should be more

uncut vault
#

5 in Zaralek, 6th is the post-raid

pulsar minnow
#

Honestly thank god they’re not doing old gods with Abberus

#

I know I talked about it a while go here insisting it was gonna happen but man am I happy they’re not doing it. This is the dragon expansion and looks like it’ll probably stay that way

harsh mason
#

And so many videos have already been released on this theme that most were really waiting for it

timber rose
#

That cinematic was pretty... sad. And not from the lore perspective.

upper pasture
#

could have more on a mythic clear tbh but who knows until it comes

harsh mason
#

Actually, I also thought at first that there would be a cinematics, BUT! I've never shared all these theories around what the void theme will be next

#

But I thought we would have void dracthyrs (they kind of exist, but so far only in data mining)

pulsar minnow
crystal pond
#

Nzoth return is such a stupid thing
There so much potential for new villians and reincarnating old villians is just annoying plot twist

jade basalt
#

I did say this was not going to lead to anything Old God-y!

#

It's just more exposure to Void, until one day, Void expansion. Similar to how BFA had a lot of references to Death.

subtle oar
#

What an anticlimactic raid/cinematic. Ryan Johnson levels of "subverting expectations"

crystal pond
#

Although I will not mind the return of Kel'Thuzad just for memes dracthyr_hehe

crystal pond
harsh mason
#

Where he just appeared on one reuse raid and died

harsh mason
# crystal pond Why?

He didn't do anything. As in SL, it was returned just to have it (but in SL it did something)

crystal pond
#

He was there for the plot

harsh mason
#

Well, maybe I just personally expected him to be more involved in the main plot

#

Still, he is quite an iconic character

crystal pond
#

I mean
Not even nostalgic expansions are perfect

harsh mason
#

And so it looked more like just a reuse of the old raid

#

Rather, he was returned only for the sake of the reuse of the old raid

pulsar minnow
#

I’m still very confused as to what Vyranoth even meant by “aspects darkest nightmares” because idk about you guys but Sarkareth just seems like an annoyance more than a threat

upper pasture
#

probably the fact that one of their own fell to corrpution (deathwing) it's like the aspects biggest failure to date.

#

(and all his secrets that were locked away in the lab)

harsh mason
#

Well, she almost did it. I'm not even talking about the fact that a lot of drakonids were killed, who didn't want to follow the aspects (since sundered flame included not only dracthyrs). But also Wrathion and Sabellian almost succumbed to the temptation to use the lab

crystal pond
#

We faced nzoth when he was freed and you gonna tell us that our bois will succumb to voidy lab? Wtf

#

This is so stupid

#

I was expecting like
That sarkareth will be a threat, like he will free void/void magic into Dragon Isles and it will become a problem but...well

#

Guess shadowflame fyrakk is even more interesting now

upper pasture
#

Just because something didn’t happen immediately doesn’t mean that there aren’t ramifications to what they did

pulsar minnow
#

My guess as to where the story is going - mega dungeon dealing with either the Temporal Conflux or Vakthros (10.1.5). Aspects use the birth of the new World Tree and its direct link to Elune to bring about a new Embrace in which they can then regain their aspectral abilities once more (10.2). Idk what after

harsh mason
rain cave
#

Does anyone else get the vibe that sarkareth was seeing something in that void in front of him

#

As in like literally staring at something we cannot see

#

And he's taking to it as if its neltharion

#

Combine that with the weirdly deathwing looking void glass

#

Perhaps the thing that drove him mad, was actually what inspired his appearance?

#

Whatever void thing was fucking with sarkareth, being similar in appearance to what death wing looked like. Sarkareth even starts looking like that in his corrupted form, bigger jaw and all

harsh mason
#

Well, yes, he saw Neltharion

#

And not the "Echo" that we saw

rain cave
#

stare into the abyss and the abyss stares back

#

honestly the idea that there was something in that weird void realm, portal, thing that's just watching us the entire time but we can't see it in the void is kinda spooky

pulsar minnow
#

ah okay playing through the raid right now and just got to neltharion

#

it seems like the "darkest nightmares" of the aspects was the corruption of the black dragonflight once more

#

the echo of neltharion was trying to get the black dragonflight to succumb to the void once again

#

wrathion and sabellian rejected his gifts of course, which is why hes a boss

harsh mason
#

It's not even that he saw it. Or heard it. He literally wanted everything he went through to be not in vain. In fact, it turned out like this: the dracthyrs had a tough selection, during which many died, then they were made into ideal warriors, and Neltharion was the only "father" figure for them. Then they get rid of them, and when they wake up. And after that, when they awaken, Sarkareth finds out who Neltharion has become.

#

And it turns out that if he had given up (went the other way, like Emberthal), then everything he went through would have been in vain.

#

If someone has played Mass Effect 2, then there is a storyline of one character that is a bit similar

#

But if look at the consequences, then yes, there are none. We won in this patch (well, by half, since Fyrakk devoured SF)

upper pasture
dense plover
#

unless the last chapter is raid, seems like the end of the campaign is next week

tulip sun
#

I really don't want him to die

dense plover
tulip sun
dense plover
#

there is no evidence of that

#

and they just gave him a new model

#

you dont get a new model just to die

#

and what would that accomplish?

#

also who would he die to?

#

that wouldnt even make sense with the story we have

tulip sun
#

But everyone talking about it is making me worried

dense plover
#

theyre dumb

#

and anyone who has played through this week's story especially

subtle oar
#

There's no way they're going to kill off their forced new Black Dragon Flight Aspect.

uncut vault
dense plover
#

i dont have a guild

#

or confidence to tank sarkareth

#

so idk what it looks like with that

#

but the raid quest isnt under the tab

#

so i think its separate

harsh mason
#

Dezran is alive, everything is fine

harsh mason
harsh mason
#

And so, I will immediately write that this does not mean anything at all, but Sarkareth has an ability that is not in the journal(and which was not in normal and heroic). Perhaps there will be a secret phase

#

Or just hidden abilities for normal phases

cosmic beacon
#

Sounds like some Argus kinda mechanic

upper pasture
#

i wonder where the supposedly legendary weapon is coming from. one would assume if it drops of sarkareth we'd see a drop by now unless it's mythic only.

little hound
#

As he returns to the Forbidden Reach to do so.

dense plover
#

Is that on raid complete?

little hound
dense plover
#

Oh

#

So it probably IS time gated

silent urchin
#

gonna be weird if the reveal tomorrow gives stuff away that's sitting encrypted but not released

#

curious when Cause without a Rebel is coming too, given that was fully playable on PTR

#

I really do not like how much is being held back

#

especially with zero timeline or communication about when it might come

harsh mason
#

And like, other storylines just go separately after the raid story

#

Well, that's what it seems to me

#

Aberrus is not the final 10.1

plain violet
upper pasture
#

maybe the legendary is tied to completing the campaign first.

harsh mason
upper pasture
#

it's such a tease lol

#

i can't wait to work on it

harsh mason
#

The quest is connected with Nozdormu. There is such a possibility that it is not for 10.1

#

But some reagents are collected from Fyrakk's disciples, so this should be part of Fyrakk's assault

upper pasture
#

yeah who knows. i've done everything except for the raid so far on my evoker and haven't seen anything yet. so it's sorta just a waiting game

solar veldt
#

Looks cool but I don’t see any major spoilers there

harsh mason
#

Everyone has their own important spoilers. For some, the fact what there will be Nozdormu is a spoiler. In any case, these are all spoilers, so that's what they write

#

I understand that because of datamining, many things are already known, but it's not official, which means spoilers. A lot of people try to avoid it all

solar veldt
#

Yeah true, maybe we are all too used to spoilers regarding WoW new content

ionic terrace
ember blaze

dense plover
harsh mason
#

But I think it doesn't always burn SF. If it controls SF, then it can light up and go out at any time. Either that or a bug. This should be asked directly from Blizzard

#

things moving fast

deep pawn
#

We have to see 3 ptrs and another RWF between now and November

austere gazelle
#

So what we have to expect?

  • Tyr next quest ( I think the mega dungeon might be related to this )
  • Blue Dragonflight storyline
  • Rebel stuff
#

no way all of those are coming next week at the same time.

austere gazelle
#

and this ^^ yeah

crystal pond
#

they will probably split all this content so that it goes gradually

#

it will be stupid if all of this goes into the next patch and not this one

solar veldt
#

How many raids do you think will have this expansion in total? 3? And still Iridikron is not the final boss so he might be still the villain in next expansion ? 🤨

harsh mason
#

in fact, they can easily add some storylines to the mini-patch. As has been said many times, 10.x.5 is the epilogues of a major patch, and 10.x.7 is the prologue for the next patch

harsh mason
#

Before the BfA, there were always 3 major story raids and several intermediate ones

#

So everything will depend on the number of patches

#

I just don't know how DF developers will build a plot. If the Incarnations are the main antagonists, then it is obvious that 2-3 raids will be dedicated to them (Vault, raid in 10.2 and 10.3). If not, then I do not know, the next raid can be about anything

#

For example, in Pandaria, it was unrealistic to guess that the second raid tier would be dedicated to some Lei Shen

#

Because the plot raids were not closely related to the main plot-the war of factions

vernal juniper
#

is the legendary in this patch or not? not clear

harsh mason
vernal juniper
#

I guess nothing from hc kill of the final boss right?=

harsh mason
vernal juniper
#

make no sense imho if it is only from mythic, 99% of players will not obtain it

#

if it is HC, however

plush mortar
harsh mason
#

If Abyssian becomes an aspect, it is unlikely to be in 10.1

#

This whole storyline related to restore the power for Aspects is central to DF

#

Therefore, it seems to me that all this will be closer to the final. Moreover, if they updated the models for Ebyssian, it would immediately make it clear, but they keep it all a secret.

crystal pond
#

I hope they will fix Ebyssian writing if they wanting make him an aspect
Because rn big no

tulip sun
plush mortar
#

They all have strengths and flaws. Wrathion has saved azaroth several times (sometimes from problems he caused) but hes willing to sacrifice anything and anyone i#to reach his goals. Sabelion is a great tested leader who saved the outland black dragons but it’s questionable how many atrocities he committed willingly and not under corruption. Ebonhorn is a great advisor who does not seek power or to rule over other but he is a coward.

#

Im team ebonhorn but my money is on emberthal

#

She has many of the strengths of the others but non of the flaws as i can tell.

crystal pond
#

He is literally perfect wtf

#

No mistakes in this patch

#

If they was balancing between good and bad then i would choose Ebyssian too but hell naah

pulsar minnow
#

I just don’t like how they undid all of Wrathion’s character just to make way for Ebyssian

#

Whatever happened to “You’re the only brother I have”

#

Now he’s just “NUH UH NOT MY FAULT!!”

crystal pond
#

Sabellian is bad too
"Lol you just a fodder for me too Wrathion"
And before that there is a quest that "ye he is a bich but he is my brother so check on him pls"
Wtf???

silent urchin
#

they're both just doing the tsundere "It's not like I like you or anything" meme

crystal pond
#

I honestly dont understand why someone in blizzard team decided that it would be good for Ebyssian to become an aspect when alot of people wanted him to become advisor of new black aspect

#

In bfa he was so good as advisor
He domt want to rule but he want to help

#

And now "yeah he dont want to rule so its perfect for that role"

#

Stop please omg

silent urchin
#

the whole point of the story this patch seems to be them getting over their insecurities around each other, that are being driven to extremes by the echoes of neltharion/old gods, and realising that they all complement each other and work best together

#

pretty sure there isn't going to be one aspect, it'll be all three in some way

crystal pond
#

Yeah i hope that too

obtuse vine
#

Do we know when to expect the blue post?

silent urchin
#

nothing specific, probably 2-5 hours

upper pasture
#

my guess would be between 12-3pm pst

#

but that's being hopeful 😛

#

it will likely be like 4pm or 5pm pst

harsh mason
#

After what point did people decide: "yes, he will definitely be an aspect"????

austere gazelle
#

Equip: Your Empower spells activate the Order magic within, releasing a sphere of Order that seeks a powerful ally, increasing their primary stat by 500 and Speed by 600 for 10 sec.
Is this me or this legendary could be the first step to introduce the fabled support Spec of the Dracthyr ?

pulsar minnow
jaunty phoenix
#

Did you guys get the impression that maybe they’re setting up for Wrathion, Ebyssian and Sebellion all to pave way for Emberthal being the next aspect? Crossed my mind seeing Sebellion constantly refer to the Dracthyr as inconsequential while he and his brother are clearly going through growth arcs.

deep pawn
#

It'd be interesting

austere gazelle
#

" There will be only one Aspect "

#

Maybe the Dracthyr, who embodies the magic of all the flight, will become the new " Aspect "

crystal pond
#

Dracthyr as independent aspect is fine
But as black aspect???

jaunty phoenix
#

I guess it could go either way. Their fate is tied to the black dragonflight in particular and it seems to me like they’re building up toward Sebellion eating his words in the most dramatic way possible.

austere gazelle
#

Dracthyr are mortal + dragon DNA mixed by Neltharion, would make sense to have a new " mortal race " taking the seat of the Aspects by becoming the only Dragon Aspect while the original one concede their places

jaunty phoenix
#

I like that idea too. Like you said, they do embody the magic of every flight

austere gazelle
#

That would also explain why Nozdormu is helping them. He knows what will happen. He knows that they will have an important role to play

#

And it's an Infinite Dragon dude that said " There will only be one Aspect "

jaunty phoenix
#

It also follows the motif of ages coming and going. Age of aspects paved way for age of mortals during cata, maybe the next step is dragons paving the way for Dracthyr and ceding their place to them.

crystal pond
#

Because at the end time he was the only one aspect

austere gazelle
#

We will see anyway ^^

#

yeah

#

new ability sample and new talents sample

#

i assume base evoker tree will also get some of the abilities

#

also the 8 man dungeon has us fighting galakrond and iridikron as dungeon bosses

#

so i think when we fight iridikron as the final raid boss, its going to be completely different - im assuming this will be in the past so he will be much weaker

but i do hope we also face him as a raid boss maybe, idk

i mean, we are gonna fight iridikron twice

since he is likely the final raid boss

look at morchie on the left

omg i didnt even notice

#

not necessarily evil chromie

#

could just be an alt timeline

#

the colors dont look 'infinite'

rain cave
#

well

#

the hair does

#

the eyes

#

that energy glow on her

dense plover
#

should be black or white

rain cave
#

nah it's that pale blueish white

#

that infinites have

dense plover
#

uh

rain cave
#

infinites aren't pure white

dense plover
#

no it isnt?

rain cave
dense plover
#

this is a totally different color scheme

rain cave
dense plover
#

also theyve never done infinites having mortal forms

rain cave

#

so thats another reason to think it isnt that

but I think it lines up with the infinite color scheme

brave nymph
#

on the pic

dense plover
#

yes

#

100% thats galakrond

#

he is one of eight bosses in the new mega dungeon

the eyes and ice give it away

#

i like how they've kept his scale

#

okay fair enough

#

ye he looks really cool

reminds me of the GW2 dragon stuff

#

which is what that game did best imo

#

also draenei warlocks incoming

#

finally

#

we can play a true eredar

brave nymph
#

i wonder if were gonna fight like just his head, or if were gonna fight him like him standing on all 4

rain cave
#

the way gw2 dealt with giant boss dragons was like that, having his head for one phase, maybe having to trigger something else to clip wings or somesuch

dense plover
#

potentially deathwing style

i mean he does look cool tho

maybe even fighting galakrond as multiple bosses

that's what I'm expecting iridikron to end up as

Well, people have already decided that we are killing Iridikron in mega dungeon

brave nymph
#

the mega dungeon is focusing on the past

#

so no way he dies

maybe it's an alt timeline Iridikron

#

but no way it's our Iridikron or that we actually kill him

#

blizzard really be super nice to us. i'm wondering if this is gonna carry to 11.0 well lol

harsh mason
#

This is also possible, but in the screenshots it is in visage form against the background of a very interesting disk

#

So I'm sure it's our Iridikron, but we won't kill it. Just the first fight with him.

tbh i'm so excited for this mega dungeon

YES same. literally my favorite thing is bronzeflight/infinite flight. prolly because the CoT was like the first stuff i really liked in WoW

imagine the loot potential

#

since they've been having fun giving us unique items

brave nymph
#

i wonder how hard this hardmode will be

#

and what it will give

rain cave
#

I'm gonna put a random bet on my bingo card there's going to be an item that switches between infinite and bronze states with its unique effect

#

even if it's as simple as a rotating haste/vers buff lmao

brave nymph
#

one item will be galakrond transformation

"Use: become galakrond, ez win, ez race to world first win"

upper pasture
#

ptr is coming up today is the word on the street ya?

brave nymph
#

100%

rain cave
#

something's not adding up if you look at this iridikron fight as an alternate version of him

#

I'm thinking this is one of his bargains

#

and he's trying to collect something from galakronds corpse here

#

to take back with him

#

it's purple too...

dense plover
#

it has eyes

rain cave
dense plover
#

but theyre open right before we fight iridikron

rain cave
#

alternatively, if he's trapped there

austere gazelle
#

Iridikron went into the past to get Galakrond to the present and we have to stop him

rain cave
dense plover
#

no theyre closed in one image

rain cave
#

but fine lets assume he's just trapped

dense plover
#

then open in another

rain cave
#

he's trapped in ice yo

dense plover
#

it could just as easily be the past

#

or an alternate reality

rain cave
#

vyranoth froze the guy?

dense plover
#

i mean

#

its definitely the past

#

since galakrond is alive

rain cave
#

yeah it's the past

austere gazelle
#

Maybe what we know about the lore is wrong, and the Incarnate were fighting Galakrond along with the soon to be Aspects

rain cave
#

just wondering if iridikron & co are here because they want to get something from galakrond

austere gazelle
#

and they were written out of the story

rain cave
#

they weren't incarnates

#

whilst galakrond was alive

austere gazelle
#

the soon to be incarnates then :p

frozen zealot
#

Methinks this coming patch will be also be when Nozdormu turns into Murozond, that purple artefact is probably something void related that will be used to resurrect Galakrond but iridikron has to go to the moment just after the aspects killed him in order to do so

rain cave
dense plover
#

we know it is

#

they say in the blog

rain cave
#

---> "dawn of the infinite" <-----

dense plover
#

we know murozond's creation is in this patch/dungeon

austere gazelle
# rain cave then he wouldn't be rock

he would, Incarnate does not means you are suddenly a dragon attuned with a specific elements. We have ancient protodragon in the waking shore that are of different element types

dense plover
#

"The Infinite Dragonflight, long-standing enemies of the Bronze dragonflight, have worked hard to see their ultimate goal of triggering the transformation of Nozdormu, the Aspect of Time, into Murozond. This eight-boss Mythic-only mega-dungeon will take players across the timeways to stop the Infinite Dragonflight from succeeding. You’ll face Iridikron, among others, as you work to sustain Azeroth’s timeline and put things to rights once more."

#

we are trying to stop them

#

my guess is we dont'

frozen zealot
#

I wonder if we’ll get a tug in the feels moment of Chromie getting tearful when Nozdormu turns

austere gazelle
austere gazelle
# rain cave he's literally made of rock

I dunno if its relevant to something. We don't know how the incarnates came to be nor what they looked like prior this anyway. But there was a time were they weren't Incarnate

dense plover
#

we dont know that actually

austere gazelle
#

we do

#

The Primal Incarnates are ancient proto-dragons who refused the gift of the titans and stand opposed dragonkind, wishing to cleanse the world of the stain of the Pantheon.[1] Analogous to the Aspects of the dragonflights,[2] Raszageth the Storm-Eater, Iridikron the Stonescaled, Vyranoth the Frozenheart, and Fyrakk the Blazing lead a group of followers called the Primalists, who turned to the elements and became infused with their primal power.

#

Ancient proto-dragons [...} who turned to the elements and became infused with their primal power.

dense plover
#

but we dont know when that happened

austere gazelle
#

as I was saying yes ^^

dense plover
#

that couldve happened before the aspect stuff

#

or it could be that they used a portion of dying galakrond's power

austere gazelle
#

Yep, we barely know anything on how it happened

dense plover
#

and siphoned that off

austere gazelle
#

But there was a time were Iridikron wasn't made of Rocks

dense plover
#

yes'

#

im wrong

#

they clearly tell us that so i appreciate the source

#

dont think we will see it though

austere gazelle
#

that'd be a shame :x I'm secretly hoping we will because it should be linked with Azeroth somehow

harsh mason
#

That is, it was after Galakrond was killed

#

That's why I think it's an Iridikron from our time

austere gazelle
#

Dunno who gave those Incarnates that " gift "' though.. I'm assuming its not something that can happen to any proto drakes or else ....

#

We'll have thousands of Incarnates running amok

dense plover
#

so i think this is more likely to be how they BECAME incarnates

#

ie - shortly after galakrond's fall, they siphon his power

austere gazelle
dense plover
#

they wouldnt do that in a mega dungeon

austere gazelle
dense plover
#

too big of a moment for a thing not everyone will see

#

thats why i think its how the incarnates get their power

#

because if you go from 10.2 to 10.3 without seeing that, it doesnt change the overall story

austere gazelle
#

Maybe that's the " terrible bargain " Alex mentionned

crystal pond
#

If this megadungeon without dragonriding i will be disappointed

austere gazelle
#

Those Draenei Warlocks ( and Lightforged Draenei Warlock ) raises a lot of interesting implication

#

It's basically the return of the Eredar

#

I hoped it would happen some day, so I guess we will have some lore introduction and returning figure of the Burning Legion that will make amend and join Azeroth somehow

dense plover
#

hope they add the skin tones to match

austere gazelle
#

( Because I don't see how a current Draenei will accept to turn to the Fel Art after all they have been through )

dense plover
#

just add the red eredar skins and the fel scar options

#

same with bloodtotem skins

austere gazelle
#

Moreover, there was a " Legion " reputation that shown up last patch

#

still there btw

#

we don't know if its the " burning legion " but with the unfolding announcement

#

hyped

#

Oh noes, it's actually a bug 😄 When you have all the Legion reputation to inactive, the Legion section turns to this

harsh mason
#

Anyway, we'll find out soon

glass flicker
#

So.

#

This guy gets to be the end boss of a raid.

#

But Iridikron, supposedly the most dangerous primal incarnate, and Galakrond the reason why the Dragon Aspects exist, are dungeon bosses?

#

Pathetic.

#

If they die, I'm gonna be pissed.

harsh mason
#

The most dangerous now is Fyrakk. But I am sure that the Iridikron will not die (if it is our Iridikron, and not from the past)

#

I really hope they work without crunches. Because there is really a lot of content (the last time in such a period of time so much was released in the Legion, but there was much more time because of Draenor)

austere gazelle
#

Galakrond has been removed as an encounter apparently in the description. It's more " The fallout following Galakrond's demise " plot

glass flicker
#

Iridikron and Galakrond better not die in a dungeon, Blizzard. Don't treat them worse than you did Ner'zhul in WoD.

upper pasture
#

galakrond has already been dead tho

glass flicker
#

Don't care. He is the reason the Dragon Aspects exist. Being in a dungeon is insulting.

#

Especially if he dies.

brave nymph
#

wait what, were not fighting galakrond?

harsh mason
glass flicker
#

Don't care. We've fought lesser bosses in a raid.

harsh mason
glass flicker
#

Especially Sarkareth. He gets to be a final boss, but Galakrond isn't even an introductory raid boss?

#

It's just insulting. They better do a Kael'thas and put him in a raid later.

brave nymph
#

we'll see on ptr soon

harsh mason
glass flicker
#

Excuse me while I put Aggrammar and Argus on farm. Two literal titans. Fought back to back.

upper pasture
#

is Sarkareth the final boss or maybe we have secret mythic only boss removes tinfoil hat okay i don't actually believe that but we have to remember Sarkareth and Fyrakk were distractions for Iridikron's goals

obtuse vine
harsh mason
#

I mean, in terms of strength, Raszageth was stronger

upper pasture
#

he's not a boss in this dungeon

#

10.2 raid boss confirmed

rain cave
#

people are being too quick to anger

upper pasture
#

you don't say lol

#

it's the internet

pulsar minnow
#

Galakrond in general is a logistic nightmare of a fight

#

How do you have 20 adventurers kill this mountain-sized flying dragon with toothpicks

rain cave
#

more than mountain sized

#

but yeah we do have the answer

#

rock

glass flicker
#

Yay, they didn't fuck Galakrond up. Let's have a pint.

rain cave
#

just because the incarnates and galakrond are in a dungeon doesn't mean anything negative

#

look at halls of reflection, we 'fought' arthas there

#

but he was still the end boss

#

we fought teron gorefiend in the wod dungeon

#

but he was also in HFC

harsh mason
#

Galakrond is literally a huge flying rock that eats everything in its path. As for me, he can't be a raid boss. It's not really clear how to fight him at all. Making a second Deathwing spin?

#

But again, I don't see the point in his return, he's a wild beast, he's not intelligent

rain cave
#

one thing I've noticed is that currently, they seem to be allowing the story to progress with world content too

harsh mason
#

But he can be the boss, I don't deny it

rain cave
#

fyrakk assaults, for example

#

lets say in this dungeon, we take a loss at the end

#

that we stop something but not the whole thing

#

lets say for arguments sake, iridikron has made a bargain with the infinite, and he's in the timeways using them as a distraction to gather something from galakrond's fresh corpse/trapped body.

rain cave
#

we go in, and maybe we by the end of the dungeon have quelled the infinite threat somewhat, even if murozond becomes infinite, maybe by the end infinite isn't a blanket term for "bad guys"

#

but iridikron still gets away, maybe upon his goal being achieved some of the infinites realize they've been duped

#

who knows

harsh mason
#

But I wonder if he's going to return it or eat him?

#

It seems to me that the second

rain cave
#

well he's either infusing something or extracting something with that device he's protecting

harsh mason
#

As I understand it, since the Iridikron is completely stone, it does not feed in the usual way, most likely it absorbs the essence

rain cave
#

if he was extracting for himself, he'd probably munch it. So to me it would make sense at a glance for him to either be: extracting some sort of essence for some other person/purpose, or he is infusing galakrond with something

#

the device itself to me has a similar design language as some of the things in aberrus

#

with the purple + draconic titany design

#

we know aberrus was all about infusing things

#

so perhaps, it's a device from aberrus he's using to either take the essence of galakrond for some other purpose, or to infuse galakrond with something already in there

harsh mason
#

I think he collects the essence for his own purposes (well, or for the purposes of Incarnations).

rain cave
#

I mean, if we wanted to do the association game

#

yogg saron explicitly named as the cause of galakrond -> yogg saron created the emerald nightmare -> datamined emerald dream glaive and tree cinematic -> iridikron exctracting essence of a creature infused by yogg saron in the leadup patches to what we think is someting emerald dream related

#

so there's definetly some thematic links going on in my mind, even if those things aren't all tied in one direct story

dense plover
glass flicker
#

Good.

dense plover
#

the story of the mega dungeon is unlikely to be very directly significant since only a small portion of the player base will see it

glass flicker
#

Don't kill characters with potential pls. He is the first cautious WoW bad guy I can recall.

rain cave
#

I think it will be

dense plover
#

mega dungeons have never had super important stories

rain cave
#

we won't kill him in the dungeon motivated

rain cave
glass flicker
#

We better not.

dense plover
rain cave
#

even then

dense plover
#

wasnt it just 'demons are in karazhan and thats bad!'?

rain cave
#

I think it's our iridikron

#

wouldn't make sense if it was an alternate timeline one imo

#

unless maybe this is like a in the past version of him, where we see him doing something before he got locked up

#

one of those bargains alex talked about

#

but then that's not alternate, that's just past version

dense plover
#

"new, fearsome Legion commander, known as Viz'aduum the Watcher, who intends to anchor the tower into the Twisting Nether and turn it into a second major gateway for the Burning Legion to flood Azeroth with their unholy forces. " this was the story of the karazhan dungeon - absolutely no effect on the overall legion story

#

i expect that to be the case here

rain cave
#

it will though

#

this dungeon by its very nature will have impact on the main story

dense plover
#

although its also very likely that the mega dungeon gets split into 2 and will be part of the dungeons for season 3

rain cave
#

because murozond

dense plover
#

thats assuming they succeed

#

and that it happens in the dungeon

#

and not the time rifts/story quests

rain cave
#

who says they have to succeed

dense plover
#

the dungeon description?

rain cave
#

wdym

#

I'm talking about nozdormu becoming murozond

dense plover
#

"The Infinite Dragonflight, long-standing enemies of the Bronze dragonflight, have worked hard to see their ultimate goal of triggering the transformation of Nozdormu, the Aspect of Time, into Murozond. This eight-boss Mythic-only mega-dungeon will take players across the timeways to stop the Infinite Dragonflight from succeeding. You’ll face Iridikron, among others, as you work to sustain Azeroth’s timeline and put things to rights once more."

#

this heavily implies that should we succeed, it doesnt happen

harsh mason
dense plover
#

also it implies that the timelines are broken

dense plover
#

since it wasnt used like that

rain cave
dense plover
#

is the story relevant? yes, but it wasnt significant to the outcome of Legion

#

i think that iridikron is from an alternate timeline or from the past

rain cave
#

for me I think it's either past or current

dense plover
#

i think its very possible we see how the incarnates gain their power and this would be it, which while cool, doesnt change the flow of the overall story

rain cave
#

I believe alternate would just be too confusing

dense plover
glass flicker
#

I hope it's past Iridikron talking to infinite Chromie about bringing Galakrond to the present to wreak havoc on Azeroth.

deep pawn
#

Imagine if stopping the transformation still causes it by splitting all Bronze into Infinites

rain cave
deep pawn
#

like antimatter

dense plover
#

all the caverns of time stuff as well

rain cave
#

end time was potential future

dense plover
#

a potential future is 100% an alternate timeline by definition

rain cave
#

the only alternate timeline stuff we've had is the bronze quests directly tackling them

dense plover
#

yes

#

and this is a dungeon

rain cave
#

but those were obvious

dense plover
#

just like how the caverns of time stuff is dungeons

rain cave
#

everyone's murlocs

dense plover
#

wut

#

no

#

caverns of time dude

rain cave
#

caverns of time isn't alternate timelines

dense plover
#

did you never do the stuff there?

rain cave
#

it's us defending our timeline

dense plover
#

by preventing events that change the future

#

which is 100% what this is going to be

upper pasture
#

which are potential alt timelines

rain cave
#

we go back, save thrall, medivh, arthas, etc

#

to make sure our timeline isn't affected

#

but I'm saying we aren't seeing alternate version in those dungeons

#

we're seeing past versions

upper pasture
#

cause if we don't defend them it creates paradoxes

rain cave
#

alternate galakrond would look different somehow imo

#

if it's just after galakrond's defeat, whilst his corpse is still writhing because of how wretched it is

#

why is iridikron an incarnate already

#

there's so many potentially weird things from an alternate

#

if it's an alternate, what's different? did the incarnates win?

upper pasture
#

because it's either ours from current timeline or alt iridikron. i'd say it's ours and he gets away at the end

rain cave
#

did galakrond not die?

#

are the aspects not present?

#

if you're doing alternate timeline stories usually it has to be evident which is the alternate timeline if you want it to be easy to follow

#

e.g. everyone's murlocs, or the orcs didn't drink fel blood

#

so my expectation is our galakrond, either from the past or present, is tampering with galakronds corpse. If it's past, perhaps this is the point in the past where he was getting imprisoned, and we're correcting that part of the timeline (to stop the infinites from undoing it). If it's present, perhaps he's using the chaos of the timeways and infinite to slip in and do something he needs to do

#

(to elaborate on the past, maybe this is why alex knew of the weird bargains but they still won, she caught him in the act of trying to do something to galakrond, who is a widely reviled disgusting being)

#

need more info obv, but I think that if they want the story to be easy to follow, as well as stay in line with what they're going for. that's the routes they will take, in broad strokes

dense plover
#

OH WAIT

#

WHAT IF ITS PAST IRIDIKRON

#

AND THATS WHY HE KNOWS WHAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF?

rain cave
#

that's a great line actually

#

👏

dense plover
#

thats why he has been so meticulous with his plans

#

why he is so careful to avoid us

rain cave
#

he and nzoth are like "yo these people are fucking nuts"

upper pasture
#

oh, our Iridikron is from the past

dense plover
#

because he lost to us before

rain cave
#

also explains why he's so straight to the point after getting busted out lmao

dense plover
#

just that 20,000 years have passed

upper pasture
#

oh

#

i see

rain cave
#

man thinks he's the thinker

dense plover
#

past iridikron but from the current timeline

#

ie not an alt timeline

upper pasture
#

and that's why ours is so cautious around us

dense plover
#

yes

#

exactly!

upper pasture
#

i mean that could be it

dense plover
#

because we fought him before, and until that dungeon, we dont know that

#

he has the advantage because he fought us when he was so much weaker and younger

upper pasture
#

yeah and it's not like he'd let us know that willingly

dense plover
#

ofc not

#

why would he?

upper pasture
#

"oh i remember yall you kicked my ass 20k years ago"

dense plover
#

exactly

#

EXACTLY

upper pasture
#

"oh wait...no i kill yall"

dense plover
#

i very much think its a thing where iridikron of 20k years ago has no idea why we are fighting him

#

and then bronze flight has to stop us

#

because iridikron cant die in the past

#

or the present doesnt happen

upper pasture
#

so that means 1000% infinite are behind all this

dense plover
#

which could explain why iridikron seems to regard nozdormu with more respect than the other aspects

#

i think he does at least

upper pasture
#

and noz will become muro by the end of DF

dense plover
#

probably

#

i expect it to lead into next expac at this point

upper pasture
#

yeah, i'd expect as much

dense plover
#

its too late for murozond to be a big bad since we know thats iridikron, and he deserves to be the final boss of a raid

upper pasture
#

i'd hate so see that happen and be dealt with in one or two patches

dense plover
#

ideally either final raid or first raid

#

exactly

#

raszageth was a one patch villain but the primalists didnt disappear

#

murozond is the iridikron equivalent

upper pasture
#

but a whole expansion of infinite would be amazing

#

but im a big bronze/infinite supporter

dense plover
#

theres a lot they can do with that

upper pasture

silent urchin

Postmaster has gone even more mad and sent me a couple hundred empty mails

candid ruin

upper pasture
#

i'm so ready

#

#

whew

silent urchin
pulsar minnow
#

Holy shit wait

#

Ebyssian aspect confirmed?

#

There’s an icon for a dragon that I think is Ebyssian

harsh mason
pulsar minnow
#

He’s got like lava horns and a nose ring

harsh mason
upper pasture
#

that's the text for the raid queue tho no?

pulsar minnow
#

And there’s another icon of him pictures next to Noz

silent urchin
#

yeah it's a pain to get a good screenshot because being near eon's fringe is causing awful FPS lag

pulsar minnow
silent urchin
#

there are a lot of mount rewards from timerifts

upper pasture
#

and it's 1-25 damage for the number of players and role

harsh mason
upper pasture
#

what abilities are you referring to tho?

harsh mason
upper pasture
#

yes those aren't abilities

#

those are the text for the que when doing lfr

harsh mason
#

Well, or am I stupid

pulsar minnow
#

Oh

#

The icon is literally called "Black Aspect's Favor"

#

And that sure as hell aint wrathion

harsh mason
#

It was obvious. They will update the model for him

silent urchin
#

this might be a placeholder

pulsar minnow
#

Cmon, LAVA HORNS

upper pasture
pulsar minnow
#

But it’s called Black Aspect’s Favor

upper pasture
#

so it's likely an evoker

harsh mason
pulsar minnow
#

There’s another one of Noz called “Bronze Aspect’s Favor”

#

And the one with them both together is called “Aspects Favor”

upper pasture
#

and it's titled aspect's favor not black aspect's favor

silent urchin
#

There's a lot of alternate chromies and they're all excellent puns

pulsar minnow
#

That one with the black dragon alone is called Black Aspects Favor.

#

That’s my fault I mixed them up. But yeah that’s a confirmation on Ebyssian as Aspect

silent urchin
#

There were more than this as well

upper pasture
#

stopppp

dense plover
#

lol

#

these are great

harsh mason
silent urchin
#

There was a murloc one, and an undead devilsaur one

#

and a librarian?

obtuse vine
#

I reckon they will eventually update the fyrakk visage too to make it shadowflamey

silent urchin
#

Only about 4 quests before it seems like it leads into the dungeon, but that's not in yet

#

Eon's Fringe is no longer frozen in time

upper pasture
#

Morchie isn't ALL bad

candid ruin
#

Time Rift: Azmerloth (New) - Map: Northrend > 10.1.5 Time Rifts - Murloc (Azmerloth). Roles: 1 damage. BACK TO AZMERLOTH

silent urchin
#

Doesn't seem to be anything to actually do here yet

dense plover
#

OH - so eon's fringe is that area with the debuff in the bronze dragon area?

silent urchin
#

yes

#

can't really find anything to actually do there yet

#

some stuff has "resolved" from when it was frozen, but it's clearly meant to be immediately after

#

lots of it seems unimplemented

#

... were there always achievements for collecting drake customisations or are those new

upper pasture
#

they were there

#

none for the new one on live yet tho

#

oh the attuements are stances

dense plover
#

murozond's rise is part of the dungeon

harsh mason
dense plover
#

from infinite tyr description

silent urchin
#

so this buff has been here and I missed it

dense plover
#

thats new

#

must be how theyre gonna let you use these mounts in the old world

silent urchin
#

Yeah, but afaik it isn't actually doing anything yet

pulsar minnow
#

it seems like they're doing it with this patch

silent urchin
#

and there's no way to toggle it

pulsar minnow
#

Kalimdor Grand Prix

upper pasture
dense plover
#

chronolord deios returning is great

silent urchin
#

can't mount drakes in kalimdor, regular flying mounts are still regular flying

upper pasture
#

probs NYI

#

i've been flying around durotar looking for the DR but i haven't seen it

silent urchin
#

also sadly they haven't accidentally enabled any of the timegated 10.1 content

#

It seems like one dragonrace per zone

upper pasture
#

yeah

#

honestly that's fine

silent urchin
#

well, most zones. Not sure there's one for tanaris

#

16 races and 20ish zones so a couple missing

upper pasture
#

16 EK and 30 Kali

#

and each have the 3 types

#

well.....mmochamps datamined stuff has 16 and 30 races listed.

silent urchin
#

achievement is only showing 16, although the sub achievements aren't actually visible so maybe the rest are just not connected yet

upper pasture
#

yes

#

but ill counter with

dense plover
#

lol - growmie the giant chromie

upper pasture
#

and kali goes to 30

#

so 48 and 90 races which include the basic/advance/reverse

#

so it's likely not all zones have races but a lot of them do

dense plover
#

chronosaurus - captured on film for the first time

#

apparently the chromies were brought here

ionic terrace
#

has anyone checked the evoker starting zone

#

to see if they did anything for the spec

dense plover
#

"speculating. you have been fooled"

#

and then the quest stops right when you meet morchie

#

or not

#

theres a dragon that spawns

silent urchin
#

Quest should stop once you get to chromie and noz at the dungeon entrance

dense plover
#

morchie has voice acting

silent urchin
#

although it's only about 4 quests long

dense plover
#

well the quest hub stuff isnt in the patch notes for today

#

the fact that voice acting is done though is significant

#

means it was recorded a WHILE ago

silent urchin
#

you get this map if you open it in this area

#

presumably where the timerift stuff will be?

#

huh, new rare

rain cave
#

so that device is definetly voidy

#

iridikron stealing the essence that corrupted the waters and made galakrond?

#

so he can reintroduce it in the current timeline?

#

also, can't wait to play a lightforged warlock xD

dense plover
#

trying to check something and i guess theyre working on old mounts being compatible because i dont remember the frostbrood protodrake being this small

obtuse vine
upper pasture
#

I’m really in shock that what I thought was gonna be DF worst feature for me has turned out to be one of my favorite things to look forward to in each patch.

silent urchin
#

the dragonriding?

upper pasture
#

Dragon races specifically

#

I tend to dislike time based racing things but I really enjoy DR so I guess that makes up for it

rain cave
#

overall dragonriding just makes going to places nearby a bit more interactive

silent urchin
#

They're (mostly) fairly forgiving

rain cave
#

long term flying I'd argue old world is nicer since youcan just alt tab and put youtube on, though that's probably a map size issue. And they should add more teleports

silent urchin
#

that one reverse race in waking shore being an exception

rain cave
#

but if I need to quickly hop around for gathering, quests or whatever
