Was dragonflight an intentionally safe expansion?

but devs have kids that play that are 5 for some reason

It’s just bad writers. I’d bet that whoever wrote the ending cinematic has blue hair.

The fact we’re having to call it a Beach episode is actually incorrect.
It’s a Beach SEASON where we are stuck in it for 2 years. That’s way
too long for it to be any sort of episode. This coulda been a patch, not an expansion.
There is too much of nothing happening within DF.

I like nothing happening. No giant god to kill, no world ending problems. It’s peaceful. I kill mobs, and I skin them and sell their hides. I am a happy orc.

I’m okay with low moments but it’s just too long of it with nothing really fun about it. It’ll be okay if it was interesting but they just pulled the most basic quick storyline to get out of SL and just rehashed events every single major patch. They just went safe to help cool the burns of two bad expansions. I just hope TWW is better.

ooo, Kalecgos himself jumped out of the screen and wrote the story so that he and his friends all get to beat the bad guy, become better people, and get the Mega Happy Ending from Wayne’s World? That’s meta.

Watch your clever mouth, Mitch!

Your name is Mitch, right?

Seems like a trend. They did the same with cataclysm. In wrath the dragons threatened to kill you on quests if you mess up, Did narly things like burn forsaken. Then cata hit and it was all…hey we like to paint our claws and pick flowers!

i think its intentionally a safe expansion to set the table for the World Soul Saga

110

worldsoul saga is metzens baby and he joined when DF was about to launch

111

Not sure what really makes DF any different from BfA or SL in this case? I for one kind of miss a class hall(legion) or covenants for that matter. I wish they would do something like that again but NOT abandon it. Warfronts were a bit so-so but I think they could have made it really good. Some could argue the same could be said for Thorgast or even Visions(which I prefer). I am not liking how blizzard creates something and then ditches it when a new patch or expansion comes out.

I mean they tried making a story you needed to piece together in shadowlands and the low iq population apparently couldn’t understand it.

Also Metzen is a bad thing unless his time away tamed his ego. He caused so much damage to the lore.

I think this thread would benefit if everyone would be honest that they’re talking about the story (the most side content in this game) and not… the expansion as a whole. In what universe was dropping Aug in the middle of a season safe?

Metzen is a executive creative director for the Warcraft universe

Danuser is still Narrative Director for World of Warcraft

Both are working together rather you like it or not he is staying.

115

As long as they use their aspect powers in the next expansions. We helped them, they can help us.

I regard Dragonflight as a breathe of fresh air before diving back into the war and conflict to come. Every warrior needs a break now and then

Didn’t metzen create the story and did the drawings and primary art?

It was definitely meant to be an interim xpac. A lot of people seem to be under this weird impression that every single xpac needs to have insanely world-altering events. We got a new world tree which is pretty significant imo.

It was an expansion meant to lay the groundwork for the Worldsoul Saga, as evidenced by the stuff Iridikron was up to the whole time, setting Fyrakk up to be a distraction we would inevitably have to deal with while he went and started flirting with the void.
