Hot Take:
The Mage Tower and Challenge Mode weapons, armor, and other appearances should be readily available for players to get again and be just as difficult to get VIA scaling.
Make it something players can receive during Timewalking or something maybe.
I've cracked the code!
Yogg-saron = Old God of Mouths 👄
Y'sharaj = Old God of Heads 🫨
C'thun = Old God of Eyes 👁️
N'zoth = Old God of Tentacles 🦑
Xal'atath = Old God of Feet 🦶
🚫 TWW SPOILERS 🚫
There is something in writing called the rule of three, you have to have a repeatable thematic three (or perhaps more) times in a story. If something appears this often, it must be important to the story.
Xal'atath's feet have officially covered this rule.
If you have an issue with them. Or any amputee characters? You live a very sad life and you stank bad.
They're cool and I love them. So go stink up somewhere else if you hate 'em.
Mists of Pandaria was and is the best World of Warcraft expansion.
Amazing story, great world, the gameplay was good, handled its characters well, music was stellar. Despite trying so many different things it got it right. People should be ashamed for how they treated it.
To this very fucking day this still bothers me. Mists of Pandaria is the King of the WoW Expansions and I will die on this hill for it.
It's like getting Mint Chocolate Chip Icecream and saying it's bad before even taking a bite.
I think what I like about Dragonflights is it reminds me of Pandaria. It feels like a simple adventure of exploring a new continent covered in mists.
We're just helping out dragons. I guarantee you things will get turned up to an 11 later but it's a good premise at least.
This is gonna be controversial, but I really don't want to see the races of the Shadowlands as playable. They are cool but...
But I don't like the idea of death becoming practically meaningless in Warcraft at least in terms of the story.
Anduin whenever he's in a radius of another character that talks to him. "TIME TO SHIP HIM IMMIEDATELY WITH THEM!"
Meanwhile Anduin is just: I miss my Dad.
I gotta say it for myself. I still friggin love Battle for Azeroth. It's flawed and not perfect and there's quite a few things I would've definitely changed or handled differently.
But its themes, characters, zones, aesthetics, & music are just up there for me. It made me happy.
I am glad it is gaining traction again. You know how much I love Warcraft characters, Where's Waldo and Rexxar!
Really glad Rexxar & Misha were center stage for this. And to see all most of my favorites from WoW.

This may very well be one of the worst pre-patches I've ever experienced. It's quite the let down for War Within which should be hype.
But between the sounds in character audio's not working and Radiant Echo events being just being bland boring waits... it's a big let down.
This is going to be one of my most controversial takes & threads. I know that. But Yrel going complete "Light Herald" on Draenor makes a lot of sense when sit back and think on it.
This doesn't mean I exactly agree that she took it this far but I do think it makes sense. (1/6)
I just learned today that Anub'arak in Wrath of the Lich King was voiced by Frank Welker! Aka Megatron!
Formerly, he was voiced by Steven Blum in Warcraft 3 who has voiced Starscream. That's very amusing to me.
Hearing that Mists of Pandaria is a direct inspiration for Dragonflight fills me great optimism for the expansion. MoP was without a doubt my favorite era of WoW and it has yet to lose its crown.
I hope this means Dragonflight will be on par with it and maybe even succeed it!
Ebyssian's getting a glow-up! Literally! Now I really want to see his new Dragonform. I love how fiery he looks here.
Also, hopes this means we'll be seeing Merithra get a new look soon too.
Oh shit. There is Sylvanas Armor in the files... Dark Rangers are gonna eat well. Hope this means we'll be seeing more replica armor for other characters too someday.
Doomplate, Rexxar's Armor, Saurfang's Armor, etc. Pretty nifty!
Yes. They should find new means to add old rewards no longer in the game for players. Many missed out, didn't know they were going away, or just couldn't get them at the time.
Some will get mad but the prestige mentality has been stupid & I stopped caring ages ago on it.
End Time had one of the coolest ideas of, "What if the Villain actually won?"
And he's just wasting away along with everything else, impaled on a temple by the Old Gods he once served. It's such an interesting and metal concept we don't see that often.
Community and I probably gonna disagree on this one but I friggin loved the storytelling scenarios of Mists of Pandaria. I'd absolutely love for Scenarios to make a comeback!
I love World of Warcraft but dear god Activision Blizzard... I'm very disappointed, very upset, and just tired of it all... I just want to make videos, machinimas, and enjoy this game.
But once again more news just comes out like this that just saddens me.
Ooh. There are shields you can get from the pre-event. These are really good and something I've wanted for a while now too!
ACTUAL MOG I WANT FROM THE PRE-EVENT. NO!!!
The Blue Dragonflight Questline was really well done. Heavily voiced acted, several nods to old characters and outside media and overall just had a lot of heart.
What it does with its ending made me really sad though. Had to say goodbye to not just one but two great characters.
“Playing games is such a visceral experience,” Activision Blizzard CEO Kotick explains. “We’re getting to the point that the game itself is able to create its own content in real time. That will be exquisite.”
Another reason why I think this is clearly Ysera, aside from it looking identical to her previous look, it's the blue eyes.
Ysera gained the blue eyes from Ardenweald and thus far no other Green Dragon has been seen with something that unique.
People asking Blizzard to update the game's graphics. ...I don't get you at all.
The graphics get updated every expansion and have been getting better WITH every expansion. So many zones look gorgeous and do a wonderful job of grabbing your eyes.
I'm about to make y'all mad (Villain Arc Ban) but Artifact Weapons that belonged to major lore characters need to go straight back or to a new lore character pronto.
They ain't doing anything by collecting dust in our banks. Get those back to Thrall, Arator, or someone. 👏
Interesting... something I noticed while checking if Thrall had new animations rigged to him or not in War Within.
They actually made his hair greyer than it was in Shadowlands.
Shadowlands: War Within:
I like how Dragonflight single-handily made Sindragosa one of my favorites. I dearly hope she shows up more throughout the expansion.
She is an icon and a legend.
It's really fitting & interesting that Varok + Varian had some of the best arcs & best deaths in Warcraft.
Both were fathers of the Horde/Alliance. Both drew Shalamayne into two and both never truly yielded. Complete legends who I deeply miss.
I feel like this encompasses why Dragonflight feels so nice. Other moments can apply too but it just feels so... hopeful and not totally bleak.
Chromie perking up and saying she'll save Nozdormu legit made me hopeful/happy that she can save him from himself. It was just good!
Once again, Thrall and Anduin having some of the best chemistry in War Within. Love their talks! I dearly hope we see more of this again.
I wonder if Thrall's line of, "Feeling unworthy" will reflect in his own relationship of leadership and holding the Doomhammer.
Hot Take:
Marksman Hunters need something far more unique and interesting. Beastmastery has their exotic and multiple beasts. Survival has their intensive melee.
MM could have the ability to duel-wield ranged weapons like Crossbows and Guns.
Depressing Warcraft Idea:
Pandaren Heritage Questline, Shen-Zin Su is dying of old age and the people of the Wandering Isles need to leave and say goodbye, returning to their homeland of Pandaria.
Su reunites with Liu-Lang after so long into the Afterlife.
