No you didn’t miss anything. Sometimes you have to wait until after some progress. You have to unlock Nazjatar next. There will be a Tauren spiritwalker who sees a vision Baine is going to die which triggers the quest to save Baine. Lorthemar will say something that’s like “I never thought Sylvanas would go this far” you have the Loyalist option to snitch to Nathanos, he tells you to keep playing along.

Thanks. Off to Nazajatar I go!

Well the literal dragon flying part of Dragonflight looks promising from what I’ve seen so far. Flying is borderline no-clip mode and really makes the world less interesting to explore once you’ve done a flyover or two.

This looks like it requires some finesse and focus though which is always appreciated. When mounts do nothing but speed you up, you’ve tacitly admitted traversing the map is kind of a chore. Ideally mounting should expand on and be it’s own form of gameplay.

Azure Span has an Arcane Dungeon and Decay Dungeon it seems.

Incidentally the Dracthyr Abilities match the Lore by having the Red Dragon Spells heal allies when used on them instead of enemies.

Logistically a Fire Elemental made from Red Dragon Fire that is friendly to you would be fully touchable.

I officially got the Loyalist quest line done :stuck_out_tongue:

I found it tacked on and basically pointless until 8.2.5.

It’s maybe the most depressing thing in WoW to me because I thought it heralded a bold new direction for WoW questing. It’d give you the ability to make choices.

This wouldn’t be unprecedented. ESO has stuff like that all over the place. It often didn’t effect much other than what NPC was at the tavern later but that’s all you really need. And I applauded how many throwaway quests actually asked interesting moral questions where what was right or wrong was pretty subjective and often reflective of you’re IRL worldview.

In WoW though your options are to do the quest or just to not progress in game. Even when you’re springing obvious traps or helping people who couldnt be telegraphing their 2nd act betrayal any harder.

I thought that was going to change but alas it was just a tacked on questline that gave you less quest content and a completely incoherent storyline that’s only worth it to see the interior of Orgrimmar during the siege.

Awww! Just what I been dreaming of! :stuck_out_tongue:

But yeah, I liked it. And working alongside Nathanos always makes things fun. Shame they wasted his character. But regardless of how people felt, I can’t imagine anyone working alongside the hypocrite Saurfang actually walked away happy about what happened.

At least Sylvanas acknowledged your continued loyalty in Shadowlands. Which was cool

General is killing me right now on Dracthyr customizations.

I’m not that smart, but even I can figure out that dragons have no hard and fast rule that they cannot shapeshift genders on visages (especially with the whole Chromie situation)… so opening things up pronoun wise is probably accurate. Maybe my female Dracthyr feels like being a male blood elf to talk to squishy people. She’s still a she. And applying the standards of gender dimorphism that exist in humans is BORING. Especially when the only real gender difference in dragon models has been beard/no beard. And even that isn’t a rule. Kalec doesn’t have a beard.

AND THEN THERE’S THE DRAGON BOOB PEOPLE.

It’s already silly enough that so many species in this setting have a secondary sexual characterist that only exists year round in ONE SPECIES on Earth. We don’t need to put it on the dragon people too.

Thank you and good night.

When are WoWhead and MMO Champion going to upload the Models do you think?

Yes! Thank you.

I really appreciated the quest. Just being able to turn away from Zekhan in disgust, even if it had very little effects, was worth it.

Loyalists basically got the satisfaction of their own reasons - fill in the blank. Some were die hard Sylvanas fans. Some were Dark Horde fans. Some were fans of playing hard ball with the Alliance - morality be damned. And still others wanted to express dismay at the path laid out as “the right path.”

I am not big into the Dracthyr at all, but I am firmly in the Dragon Boob Camp. Why not? There really needs to be more chest/breast/boob options. Sliders, even. A whole revamp on customizations in general. I would play a Human more if I could make a thinner one. The Stormwind and Kul Tiran Human options are too bulky for my taste.

But first thing’s first - Dragon Boobs. Yes.

If I have to look at those grotesque things, they might as well have boobs. Put boobs on their face for their visage form, too - that would be an improvement.

No. I refuse. Boobs is cheap and boring shorthand. Like a pink bow or big eyes/little schnozz in animation.

They’re dull and at least big eyes/little nose dimorphism applies to more than one species on this entire planet.

(But that is also boring.)

I will be having great white shark dimorphism and simply sit on teeny males.

I think it is great that there are Playable Females without boobs for those who want them. But there should be a boobs option for those who do. It seems like a wasted opportunity for customization, and a needless restriction.

Why would dragons have boobs?

One animal on this planet has permaboobs.

Boobs are already omipresent on Azeroth.

Cats and pigs fly, and metal robots got cursed by old gods to have flesh. Dragons having boobs is not that strange. Especially since Alexstraza and Ysera have them in their humanoid forms.

It isnt like female dragons eschew breasts. They have them when they choose.

This Netflix Resident Evil series… good lord… they had to have made this as a prank. They full on knew what they were doing when making this. Wesker’s dumber brother/clone Bert took his nieces to Olive Garden then after having a tantrum about bread sticks started killing people. One of the main characters is just straight up Billie Eilish. This is like a fanfic written by a 14 year old girl on Wattpad.

I am not a big TV watcher. I am so not a part of discussions involving stranger things or umbrella academy or squid game or all the shows everyone talks about.

The last show I got into was GoT, and boy did that ending really make me rethink the time I spent watching that series.

But Benedikt linked a video of an Umbrella Academy Dance off? It made me realize that Modern TV just is not for me. When I find the time to sit and watch a show, I will stick to my Frasier and Addams Family reruns. There has not been many new things out there that I find interesting.

I have been eagerly anticipating the Obi Wan show for a long time, but it sort of came and went, and I did not get motivated to watch it.

I am looking forward to the LOTR Amazon show, just because it is Tolkien. That one might get me to sit down and watch. I am not sure what that show will encompass, but I would love to see the destruction of the two trees, and the life of Feanor, and the rise and fall of numenor, and all that stuff.
