AYO
So does this mean I can queue up for a follower dungeon by myself and not have to worry about running it with 4 people who GOGOGOGO?
ETA:
I think so, yes!
As the sole surviving (in terms of playing WoW) member of < Azeroth Archives >, I am highly intrigued by the Azerothian Archives.
Reclaiming Gilneas might be incredible – I’m going to keep my hopium up for this.
The epilogues thing is interesting… I don’t feel like we ever had officially-categorized epilogues??
Also, does that mean the STORY is also just 100% over before fated raids? This isn’t the next season, right? That will be like, 10.2.7 or something, or 10.3, or whatever they call it?

Reclaiming Gilneas?
Wow, the patch must be really struggling.
Gilneas Reclamation
King Greymane is ready to retake his kingdom, but Gilneas isn’t as empty as expected.
Uh oh Genn is going to have to take on those mysterious “Gilneas tribal RP 18+” parties which appear in the group finder all the time
The coolness of Gilneas being reclaimed hinges on whether it becomes an actual city or if this is just gonna be a scenario where we say “yay we have the city, canonically!” without actually updating the zone. If it becomes a real zone, that’ll be really great!
Also yay Draenei customizations. Is this leading up to a troll/draenei heritage armor patch?? We’re the only ones without one at this point, right?
Idk about follower dungeons, I don’t really like how huge the gulf between “competitive player” and “casual player” is–I wanna go back to vanilla like difficulty where the hardest stuff isn’t that hard and the easiest stuff isn’t that easy but I know that’s not gonna happen. The lack of any stakes or engagement in non-mythic/raid content is sort of the main thing that makes me not play at this point–and this is just adding to that… not that normal mode dungeons had much in the way of stakes before this change.
Also: more DEEP LORE about the Lost Race “Dranei”–will these new customizations allow Draenei to remove the e from the middle?

Did someone say draenei updates?
Edit: I really hope we get some permanent sigils in front of our heads like the lightforged- the Touch of the Naaru has been clipping on draenei heads since we got updated models. I want a better look!

I think the patch is doing fine. I also think it’s extremely unlikely that reclaiming Gilneas in 10.2.5 hasn’t been planned since well before anyone had an opportunity to see how the patch was doing one way or the other.
Furthermore, I think it would be okay to contemplate the idea that the dev team might have been shaken and/or mercifully delivered into a new situation regarding resources and workflow practices that results in more doing stuff that players want and less wasting tons of dev time on things that end up not being released. If you wanted to contemplate it, anyway. No pressure if you don’t.

I agree. They were mentioning reclaiming Gilneas in the game, rather than in novels back when they were being interviewed about the timeskip. They’ve clearly been thinking about it for well over a year now.
The Horde are helping reclaim Gilneas…
Lmfaoooo
The story, I guess, is that a bunch of rogue Forsaken are holding onto it.
“HEY ALLIANCE. Yea our faction kinda dead RN. O, U want GILNEAS? HMM… Yea there’s some Forsaken in there but we’re just gonna say they went rogue AND HELP KILL THEM EVEN THO WE CLEARLY WANTED GILNEAS CLEARED OUT BEFORE FOR STRATEGIC PURPOSE.”
What a bizzare story. I dont understand.
Why couldnt they just go “O yea, So we kicked the doggies out of Gilneas but then some crazy stuff happened and we needed to pull our forces out to deal with some of the crazy stuff. Looks like the SCARLET CRUSADE remnants moved in while we were gone and had time to rebuild and also use some of the tech we left behind when we pulled out. OOPS! Okay, I GUESS we can help you guys take it back because none of us like these Scarlet dudes.”
Like, that wouldnt be perfect, but it would be a lot better than this BS they’re pulling rofl.
Yay for some Troll updates though.

I’m glad you could tell what I was trying to say; I just reread my post for the third time and finally noticed that I had made a typo that completely messed up the meaning of the most relevant sentence.
This is what I get for eating a handful of chocolate chips for lunch and nothing else.
You had time for lunch? How I envy you…
It’s super easy to make time for lunch when you have a bag of chocolate chips on your desk, but this isn’t a strategy that I actually recommend.

We’re really going to act like Alliance content isn’t Break In Case of Emergency content?
Could be Naga, could be more members of Alpha Prime the UwU-Lord’s pack emerging from the Emerald Dream (tie it into the kerfluffle that Ameredrizzle is causing), could even be the Scarlet Crusade moved in after everybody else bailed once the Forsaken tanked the property value by Blighting the capital city.
I’d actually prefer the Scarlet Crusade and we end Dragonflight by once-and-for-all waffle-stomping the Scarlets as a viable faction out of the story. It would tie into the Scarlet Propaganda nonsense and close that loop up too.

That would be cool, and I also really like the LF Draenei style of male hairs with dramatic horns and stuff (e.g. the “Exarch” and “Ram” styles)–most normal Draenei hairs are sort of small crested by comparison and the big horns really help balance out our chunky bodies. None of our hairs really look like “horns” in the way lightforged males and all draenei females do actually.
Yeah I want some space antlers smacking into the ceiling all the time!
All Draenei should have horn options. Also, all horn options should have at least one type of horn jewelry available.

Even Naga moving in after the Forsaken had to pull out would be a nicer option than “Oops. Lol yea we still have some guys in there but they followed Sylv so we gonna murder them even tho we really wanted Gilneas at the time.”
Especially if the Naga (or scarlet) are like “OOOO LOOK AT ALL THIS SCARY BLIGHT TECH WE CAN REPURPOSE AND BECOME A THREAT WITH”
What makes it worse is that we’ve seen the Blight can become several other things, from giant kaiju-sized slime monsters to colonies of flesh-devouring jelly-rhoombas.
Suck it up, throw unstable magic into it, lob it at the people you hate the most right this second, laugh as the Blight grows, consumes and mutates and bug the hell out before it notices you’re there.
There’s a reason even Garrosh took one look at the stuff and went “NOPE!”, although this guy then went around and started snorting literal powdered Old God, so …
