It’s almost like the Firelord is in the raid.

why is it firelord and not firequeen?
I admire your optimism.

I know all signs point to Amirdrassil being the final raid (AotC mount, permanent rune, etc) but I really hope it’s not. DF just doesn’t feel like it’s over yet. It would feel incomplete if 10.2 is the end of the story. Fyrakk doesn’t feel like a final boss. This whole story arc with Fyrakk attacking the world tree doesnt feel at all like the conclusion of an expansion. Hellfire, Argus, Nyalotha, ZM…those felt like an appropriate grand finale. Ending DF after 10.2 would just leave it feeling half finished. Especially given the DoI end cinematic. I find it hard to believe they would end the expansion without bringing Iridikron’s arc to a close.

can we really count that customization option as a mount btw? like its… just another hellfordged drake thing again.
They went with DR appearance this time because of DR being the major expac feature.

Ny’alotha was literally the scene of Kerrigan shooting her laser at the evil space manatee reconstructed in WoW as the ending to an expansion that was marketed around faction conflict, a plotline that first devolved into Horde infighting while the Alliance just watched from atop the mountains, before being almost completely abandoned barely even halfway into the expansion because “oh look there’s some aquatic snake people and an Old God, be friends now; Don’t even think about Teldrassil it was just reparations for that stupid camp in the Barrens anyways”.
ZM was the first time the writing team remembered they needed to develop the Jailer as a character.

There’ll definitely be 10.3.
No way will The Life Binder ever be in a position where we kill her.
hear me out
why not a dragon riding mount for aotc?
idk bro bro maybe the life binder becomes the death giver
The cooler aspects of the expansion I feel like they put into the shadows, and the lamer or ‘meh’ features of the expansion I feel they put into the limelight.
Also I feel like they nerfed what many of us loved most about dragons. Personally I use to love when the WoW universe was filled with limitless potential, dragons were immensely powerful and WERE immortal — Not mortal, not ‘long lived’ but straight up IMMORTAL
If you’ve done the quests in Dragon Ises, they state none of the dragons are immortal & never have been – Even prior to the Dragon Soul raid, or the creation of the Dragon Soul. Which I dunno, just kinda sapped the awe appeal from the dragons.
— Also another thing I’m not a fan of is that dragons are super weak in WoW now, we pump them like chumps. I liked when they were a world boss that’d cause mass destruction and make you go “Oh f–” [Release Spirit?].
That being said though, I did LOVE the Raszageth fight, that was a worthy Dragon Fight in my honest opinion. Even if they had fights like that for other dragons then later on revealed "Uuuh we just knocked them out apparently. Yeahnah they’re still alive – They’re in hiding for a few years to recover & perhaps reclaim their power, but they’re very much alive." – Honestly I’d be alright with that. Narrative wise, I love when enemies come back (Kel’Thuzad got annoying after awhile but now he’s like a meme, so whatever lmao)
I enjoyed the Primalists & the concept of elemental ascendence for the ‘elemental’ side alone or being ascended by primal dragons – Outside of any Twilight influence, that was really cool. Personally I’d love if we won them over & used that to get Shaman for more races, but eh I suppose we’ll see …
Might eventually be a thing. But they may not be calling it dragon riding by then.

11.0 will have the return of Me’dan. The one true green Jesus.
Agreed. 
There’s definitely going to be a 10.3.
I also think that not only will we have a satisfying closure to Dragonflight, but because 11.0 is going to be such an epic BFD since it’s the 20th Anniversary expansion, it will be written in a way that not only begins a seamless transition to 11.0, but it will also merge the stories in more of a cause and effect kind of way, more than has ever been done in the past.
Ya know, I could see Alex being the final boss… She gets hit with a bit of void magic, gets driven a bit wonky, and decides she can no longer forgive the orcs for what they did to her and her kids during the second war-- So, now, EVERYONE has to suffer.
Think Ysera getting hit with Elune’s Corrupted Tear.
Yeah it blazed the blight and in its place new life began to bloom. It burned what’s his name, the last lich king but also made him immune to the corrupting influence of maw magic that arthas was trying to use on him. The fire of the red dragon flight isn’t only and always harmful. Red dragon fire can be used to burn but also to heal. It’s why of the three main fire spells dracthyr have, two are harmful one of which is black dragon fire and the third can be used offensively or defensively.
I said that as a joke, because of the whole dragonkin rebel questline. At the end we ask a few what’s wrong, and she says she hadn’t considered that they had their own dreams, and that theyd taken care of the isles the whole time the dragons were gone, and the dragons just assumed they’d go back to serving them, etc. You hadn’t considered that slavery is bad? After having how many thousand years away to think about it? Ok, lady.
But I dont really think they’d do that, because theyre boring and its too late for that twist in this expac anyway. Ymmv.
Aw muffin. It’s like you think that I’m not allowed to speak my mind. Silly silly emo 40 year old.
My bet is still ‘somehow Iridikron returned’ probably involving void shenanigans and BAM were back to fighting the void next expansion(secret continent speculation aside of course)
Isn’t that what many of us said about the last one?
Weren’t protodragons from the elemental plane before they were transformed by titan’s order magic?
Elemental beings are by definition immortal because they come and go from there at will (Ragnaros, for example)
