I don’t like Wrathion. He’s coarse, and rough, and irritating, and he gets everywhere.

Looks like they’re getting ready to launch the pre patch in 2 weeks and patching up last minute bugs and such

I was worried there wasn’t going to be a pre-patch event at this point. Glad to be wrong.
I hope it calls back to the Cata one. I have a lot of nostalgia for that one, and I think it’d fit well with the elemental and dragon themes of DF.

Well, each zone is going to have a elemental storm that empowers the local wildlife/NPCs with temporary powers and I believe there’s a elemental looking pre patch set you can collect if you did each zone that has a active storm going on
It’s all pretty cool

To be honest Un’goro feels like the odd man out of the invasions.
so is df any good
buying it neway
I don’t know of anyone here has beta. They might be able to tell you if they did.
Sidequest good
Cool zones
Fresh new ideas
Interesting characters and themes
Mainplot is rendered lame with last update.
Again cosmic force theme, this time order and the same pattern as in sl.
Means again first ones
Means again primalist are 100% right, titans are evil and we are forced to help the evil ones indirectly

A friend of mine is ranting that this expansion is making the titans evil by mind controlling dragons or something. Is there any evidence of this?
There’s a book that has something about Odyn, Tyr and gang and the new Uldaman dungeon, and how it was meant to make magic waters full of titan magic that could be fed to dragons to make them more aligned with the titans ambitions. It’s vague tbh, and having not done the dungeon it’s unclear to me if it was ever actually something they actively implemented or just planned. Here’s the thread
And honestly? If you ask me, Titans have been evil, they were established as planetary genociders in 2009, we been knew.

Haha yeah I love completely changing Tyr’s personality to nothing even resembling how he was in DotA. It’s so cool that Blizzard just doesn’t care about their continuity or read any of their previous stuff. It’s great actually.
Pyrogar puts it best here: https://twitter.com/Pyrogar1/status/1581119181583699969
But tl;dr Tyr’s thing was he went against the grain of the other Keepers and formed a genuine camaraderie with the dragons. He entrusted protection of the world to them because he befriedned them and saw them work together to defeat Galakrond. His characterization was noble and heroic. He’s literally the guy who human paladins base their entire culture on.
And that’s just completely all out the window now, actually he was lying and mind controlling them.
If Blizzard had wanted to have this water plot they should have had the one doing it be Odyn. We already know he’s a jerk and controlling and disliked the idea of dragons, have him do it to “keep them in line”. Don’t ruin Tyr.

Unrelated, I want to play a Refti really bad. They look cool. Much better designs than the Dracthyr.
“Why not a Sethrak?” Sethrak aren’t connected to dragons/titans and also I like the Refti’s dragon horns more than the cobra hoods.
He was also lowkey shady. In Dawn of the Aspects, he outright stated that Galakrond was his fault because things didnt go as he expected. Which is contradicted by the report about Galakrond being an accident. Not sure if a recon is taking place, details are being omitted from the report, or if Tyr simple felt responsible and blamed himself.

He said things didn’t go according to plan which yes does imply it was his or the keepers’ fault, but things went out of control. He didn’t mean for Galakrond to become a monster, and when that happened Tyr stepped up to handle the problem.
There’s a difference between Tyr being fallible and making mistakes, and Tyr being outright malicious.
The new book says straight up that Yogg did it. So that’s a retcon. Because god forbid we have a story without old god involvement.

It’s not necessarily a retcon we don’t know what actually happened with Galakrond before outside that Tyr thinks he is at fault, it would make sense that Tyr felt responsible for Yogg corrupting something outside of his prison. Since Tyr (among a few other keepers) was specifically tasked to oversee Ulduar and the imprisonment of Yogg-Saron. If Yogg influences leaks and corrupts something, then it would be a failure somewhere on their part.

How is that shady? He just made a mistake.

It felt shady to me because of the vagueness, that there was no explanation as to what he initially planned in regards to Galakrond, and the exactly how willing Galakrond was in regards to said plans.
The report is somewhat confusing matters since it looks like Tyr was blaming himself for something he didn’t anticipate but he clearly have someone in mind for Galakrond.
My current theory, to connect his comments in Dawn of the Aspects and the report, is that Tyr ensured that Galakrond would reach the well only for things to go sideways due to Old God curroption.

No more Dragonflight prequel novel.
Is this old news? I don’t know.
