Yeah, for WOW’s standards it was actually pretty good and I thought strangely enough Vyranoth seems to be the only one who has balls in this storyline.

To give Blizzard credit, at least they didn’t forget the storm dragons even existed in this whole grand dragon-centric plot whereas one of the central tenants is the various dragon races getting to finally return to their ancestral home
Granted, it took them a year to get around to addressing them…but at least it has a plausible plot point of Odyn forbidding them to leave him…unlike the Netherdrakes who were on the same busted planet Sab and his refugee dragons were chilling on yet and, as they put it, in a harsh and deadly place…which makes TOTAL sense why they opted to stay instead of booking it back to Azeroth and their home the moment they got a chance.
My money is some dev got around to playing/leveling an alt and came across those dragons and was like “crud…we forgot these ones when we were making DF…”
Edit - As for the quest itself, we’re literal god slayers at this point. It still literally doesn’t make sense why we’re even on the dragon isles. They are, as far as power levels go, planet babysitters. We’ve literally outclassed them as far back as Legion which was a genuine universal or, bare minimum, galaxy-tier level threat. Raz, as a threat, would MAYBE be a level zone side quest objective and the primalist threat itself would maybe be something our squires would maybe tackle on their boot shining break. Who cares if Odyn got curbed stomp by dragon Elsa…the real insult is how he didn’t turn into a pile of primordial goop with a single flick of the finger from us.

I agree, I felt the whole thing was whack but actually one of my biggest issues was how weak and pathetic Odyn actually is. In Legion, we had the most powerful artifacts known to Azeroth’s lore. Odyn still was so strong all of us together couldn’t kill him, actually he was simply testing us. You’re telling me this ice dragon can just come in and lay the smackdown on him without even transforming like he’s nothing? What’s that say about us then? How in the heck did we even manage to stop Raszageth who should be somewhat equivalent in power? Makes no sense to me and was pretty corny.

Odyn pretty much murders any shadow priest that reminds him about Loken’s final word.

Same reason we all forgave alt-universe Grom Hellscream. Because the story requires him to be considered a good guy now.

I look forward to the day we get to down and loot that guy.
He’s almost as bad as the actual norse Odin.

It’s the power of body 2! But maybe we’ll find out some power unknown infused her or something. Like with how Sylvanas could beat Bolvar so easily.

Trashing Odyn just push over Vyranoth was silly and stupid. They keep dunking on the old lore. It’s almost like they hate it and are trying to destroy it.

Behind every strong body 2 there is a big blue nobody.
Including Tyrande (Elune).
You should hear them now. “20 year old game is gone” said repeatedly.
They are telling you without telling you.
Odyn got B-slapped 
I’m not sure what you mean, everyone loves a solid girlboss character. I mean look at the new Marvels movie, its a roaring success!
Hmmmm, what’s that? Its a massive flop? Oh…well, shucks.

She was in a snowglobe for the majority of the expansion, we had Ice Primalists the whole time, not just after she was freed.
I’ll be honest. Mentally, I checked out the moment I started flying to Stormheim. I don’t remember most of what happened other than watching the All-Father become the All-Popsicle. Something about dragon oppression or something. So yeah, I was not too engaged. I feel like the writers peaked during that Kalec questline and it was just down hill from there.

If choices mattered in this game I would have sided with Gul’dan in Legion just to avoid BFA and SL.
DF launched Nov 28th 2022, raid was released Dec 12 2022. She was in a snowglobe for less than a month. She was allied with the Primalists and their cause from Dec 12 2022 the moment she’s released, until August 29th 2023, Fury Incarnate. That entire time she knew what the primalists were about, that they were trying to kill us, that they thought of us as lesser races, so yeah, majority of the time we’ve known her she’s been an enemy.

… that’s not how the timeframe works.
Even in game, she’s been allied longer with the primalists than it took us to defeat Raszageth lol. One patch isn’t longer in game time than multiple patches throughout an expansion.

Again, you’re stretching the numbers in random directions to suit your bias, the entire main campaign of DF and Season 1 didn’t take place in 2 weeks.
Get rid of the self-insert-elsa fr no cap, not a fun character to watch or see
