The emerald nightmare lore of this phase is really, really cool

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

nerd stuff but lots of people who love classic wow lore have long theorized what was behind the nightmare portals and what the whole emerald dream situation was with the story, and this phase of SoD has added so much to that original story line its really cool. not even mentioning the raid which has been basically turned into a dark, nightmare infested emerald raid people have always wanted.

i wish we could get a whole new looking area when we enter the incursion portals, but given the development time and limited to current assets, its really impressive what the classic team has done, really excited for level 60 if we have the chance to explore other places maybe like kara crypts, hyjal, scarlet raid, furbolg city, and more :eyes:

oh and i wonder if the nightmare dragons will have more to do when they arrive… :o

I’ve been thinking lately as to how Blizzard will be able to implement the elites and nightmare dragons without causing an issue for the lower levels running incursions.

Also for the Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline it requires you to kill the elite dragonkin outside of the nightmare portals, which currently do not exist.

When it comes to the Nightmare Incursions, I’m not sure what you are talking about. It doesn’t seem like they add much of anything to the classic lore. Every single mission uses a text template that provides almost no information about what is happening. You are told to retrieve intelligence reports and then don’t even get to read them. The only quests that provide any information about what is happening is related to the new epic crafted items.
