From the data mine leaks we been getting, so far things do look VERY promising. From the professions being able to craft competitive gear that will be on par with Mythic, profession specializations. Plus the other stuff that’s been found so far
I remain hopeful. Plus the Dracthyr look super cool. I’ll probably lvl one in the future

With the focus on professions I am REALLY hoping they’ll do something more with inscription. I won’t hold my breath but… PLEASE. I’d love to not have to be in shadowform to see my hard-earned transmogs for once. Not to mention what other cool things they could do for the other classes!

I for sure plan to make a Drakthyr. I have spent too much time on the Wowhead character creator thing as it is.
I do like their goal of making crafting a gameplay pillar able to stand with raiding and so forth. That is a very good approach to take.

It would be cool if Inscription had something for Hunters, where we could give our pets the appearance of having armor and such

I will probably make one as well to experience the leveling zone at least. The creation is SO overwhelming I had to stop tinkering with it after like 30 minutes of deciding the colours. (analysis paralysis!) Makes me worried for the dragon riding… I’ll be spending hours trying to figure out what my dragon is going to look like too. RIP to my free time
Do we know if the new dragon mounts will be useable in the Old World? Or are they only allowed on the Dragon Isles?
Dracthyr customization is… a lot. I would love to steal some of their hairs for DHs. They work so much better with horns. Dragon Riding you at least get customization a bit slower, so more time to just ponder.
ATM they do not, no. Depends on how well the system is accepted right now it seems. They are being super conservative as I am sure they are a bit gun shy after having so many feature systems blow up in their face.

TBH I’m not entirely sure. I’ve been trying to avoid a lot of the datamining stuff this time around because I kind of set myself up for disappointment with my Shadowlands excitement (although in hindsight, I’m not sure that would have made a ton of difference.)
This is a bit weird though, it’s gonna be annoying to have multiple flying mounts on our already crammed action bars.

All I know is that my Mag’har is going to be SUPER EXCITED exploring a whole new Island full of dragons for the first time.
This will be the first time he will be seeing azerothian dragons in his life

They have said they plan to do more small patches. So if they find Dragon Riding is a real hit they may unlock it for the rest of the world in 10.0.5 or 10.1

That’s a fun perspective! Mag’har always has that cool element of discovery since they are technically fairly new denizens of Azeroth if you opt to go the AU route.
I haven’t decided what race I will come into DF with on my Priest, but potentially Void Elf with the intention of researching void influence on newly discovered areas. (We will see how long I go without having Shadowmeld as a crutch though!)
I hmm’d about bringing my shaman too, the elemental energies would be cool to play into immersion-wise but then I have the choice of bringing my Horde or Alliance Shaman. Decisions, decisions!

I have suspicions they are going to unlock shaman on several races. There are a lot of Elf Primalists.

Interesting!
I thought we’d see UD/NE Paladin first with the way the story is going but I’d be interested to see how they spin elven primalists. Not sure it’d be enough to pull me away from my Wildhammer or Goblin shaman fantasy though, as much as I love elves!

I am… hesitant on Kaldorei paladins. I don’t want them to be subsumed in Uther human paladinism.

Yeah, they’d need to be VERY delicate with them for me to be into it. I’d hope they’d spin-up some new(ish) lore similar to how they did with Zandalari Paladins in that their devotion is channeled through a very specific source. (ie: Elune in this case, obviously) Otherwise lumping them into the general Silver Hand human fantasy would be a disservice and they shouldn’t even bother.
Since Sentinels can’t really be a thing mechanics-wise (never say never though, right?) I’d hope they’d make them more like combat Priests, like an extension of the Sisterhood.

Elunite Paladins would be so badass though. Weilding the powers of a actual Goddess

Perhaps they could make use of the night warrior eyes for it and say part of the Kaldorei paladin rituals is to drink from the spooky night warrior moon well in Darkshore. That be quite interesting. Add in some silver toned spells and ta-da.

Imagine the nightsaber! THE NIGHTSABERRRR!
Silver light-based spells have been on my wishlist for eons. This would be top tier chosen-of-Elune fantasy that I am here for! Paladin has never really been my jam, I typically go for the darker themed classes. Dark Iron ALMOST got me into Paladins but it was just shy of what I was looking for. NE Paladin I think would make me want to play one for sure OR Forsaken Paladin for some of that risen Scarlet realness if yanno what I’m sayin’.

I think Blizz already abandoned that because…well Jevan leads the Horde Grimtotem
