Hope Malfurion will get some spot. Blizzard forgot about him in Shadowlands, where we had such important for nature zone… Maybe at least he will have some stuff with Dragons.

Seriously you never get to see them do something cool. There was a great bit in Shadow’s Rising where Baine one shots Sira.
Getting to her is challenging as she’s basically a one woman blender. But he sees an opening, tanks the slashes and knocks her square in the chest - which immediately reduces her combat effectiveness to 0%. Because 8 feet and 500lbs of pure muscle just punched her sternum with a tree trunk. Presumably that wouldve been fatal for a non undead.

I’m still surprised that he retired. Always figured he would go out in some grand hunt or something.

His eyes aren’t what they used to be so he has to serve as a Wagon Driver as the easiest Animals to hunt in his condition are the Animals hooked up to his Wagon.
We are now the biggest of Big Game Hunters having earned the position of Deadliest Game in Zuldazar due to being the best Big Game Hunters to the point where Hunters want to hunt us.

Additionally, they will have a new racial ability called Chosen Identity that you can “Activate to automatically assume your Visage when you leave combat or after Soaring.” Chosen Identity will stay toggled on until manually deactivated. As a note, existing Alpha characters may not have Chosen Identity learned.
This is neat. Worgen should have this too.

explains why a lot of Shadowlands was scrapped, the budget was saved for Dragonflight instead, Shadowlands was treated as a write off.
Do you know what this means? my expectations are way higher for Dragonflight knowing they have had more time to work on it than Shadowlands and if they don’t pull out a big, flashy Legion level expansion, they will loose all trust from thier playerbase.

People said the same thing about Shadowlands in regard to BfA, and look how that turned out.

in hindsight we were spoiled by BfA, it didn’t feel that way after Legion but compaired to Shadowlands… I’d give anything to have a BFA level expansion with the amount of stories, rendered cinematics, patch content, etc.

BfA had a load of content and money thrown at it compared to SL. I’m convinced that the failure of BfA to reinvigorate the franchise lead to major cuts and is the reason why SL and DF are so light on content.
I truly don’t think Blizzard intends on getting new players anymore. In the combination of Shadowlands and the last year of horrible news that opportunity has passed, and they know it. They’re just trying to retain the audience they already have now.
I could be retained if they release some freaking story spoilers soon! where are these warbringer type shorts they promised? a short story or two to get us interested in the upcoming story?
they have given us nothing but concept art and a mount. that’s not worth the $114.99 CAD price point for this expansion pre-order. That’s a lot of money resting on a hope and a prayer.

Chromie is a drake in DF. Her dragon form varies a lot, but since bronzes time travel this means we see them at various points in her life anyway. So from Chromie’s point of view her personal timeline is (only counting appearances where we see her dragon form):
-The first time we meet her is the Well of Eternity dungeon (She says “How can I help you, stranger?” in the end of the dungeon)
-She’s a whelp during the Firelands daily quests in Cata and Deaths of Chromie stuff in Legion
-A drake in DF and WoD
-A full-grown dragon in the Culling of Stratholme dungeon in WotLK.
Also there are some storm, nether, and twilight dragon NPCs. I assume the lesser flights will have their own corner in the capital city?

Speaking of Chromie, I wonder if Dragonflight will reveal who was trying to kill her in Legion.

There’s a Magatha NPC too, plus the raid boss Kurog Grimtotem. These are the only three named Grimtotems datamined so far but there are several generic Grimtotem enemies as well.
Edit: Nevermind one more I missed

Honestly I’m more hoping that we get a followup to that MoP quest that showed a vision of Soridormi dying in the future and then was never mentioned again.
But then I don’t like Chromie, I feel like she hogs too much of the bronze’s spotlight. Like how she was the bronze rep in BfA at the Chamber of Heart instead of Nozdormu or someone related to him, for no reason. I’m really scared she’ll inexplicably become the bronze Aspect after Noz goes Murozond, despite him having an heir already.

That’s awesome and I wonder if Rahauro is still around. For those who may not remember, Rahauro, Cor, and Gorm were the Grimtotem in that Magatha surrounded herself with during her tenure in Thunder Bluff.
That bothered me too, especially we didn’t even get a Bronze flight chapter of the Heart of the Aspect quest chain. We did the Blue and then Chromie just shows up for the Bronze. I have to admit that I really expected Nozdormu to become Murozond in BfA, and was prepared for that chapter… only for nothing, just here’s Chromie.

I sure hope the Grimtotem will be used for more than just baddies in the tauren’s future.

I’m personally hoping to see a clash of Magatha’s followers and the Horde loyalists led by Jevan Grimtotem.

So apparently we are getting a new bag slot, which is going to be “universal profession bag.” This bag is being created as a way to separate our profession reagents from other stuff like quest items and gear, as we go about the world.
It is currently unknown how many slots the profession bag will contain.
