Cinematic Trailer
Reveal Show
too long didn't watch:
expansion site: https://dragonflight.blizzard.com/en-gb/
level cap 70
new race (Dracthy, a dragon racer) - like Worgen you select a human base which affects how your dragon form will look
new class: evoker, that's tied and unique to the new race
new zones
new dungeons
new raids
talent revamp, talent trees returning and allowing for greater customisation (looks basically like Classic/Burning Crusade/Lich King days but with MORE points to let you branch into a secondary tree to my understanding. I think they used the term hybrid talent trees in the video
crafting revamp, gear matters now and it's basically XIV's system, and probably other games too
build-a-dragon: get a dragon mount which you can customise with a million possiblities. Official blurb:
Some personal remarks:Master the art of Dragonriding, a new form of aerial movement. Explore the land and obtain four new Dragon Isles Drakes—unique, customizable mounts that can be truly made your own. With millions of possible combinations to choose from, no two Drakes are the same.
The cinematic just made me think of the FFXIV 6.1 24 man raid a bit at the initial bit
It then made me call it WoW: Heavensward lol
The new dragon race, I know they need to make it humanoid but it just ends up looking a bit weird to me since it has to move around like a humanoid, I was immediately thinking that they should've went with Shyvana from League of Legends style instead:
In LoL she is a half dragon, and her ultimate ability in game turns her into a full dragon temporarily and augments her base abilities. During this period she's also on all 4s like a proper dragon. i felt if WoW went at it like this I would've been hyped more. However I appreciate some long term WoW fans/players and/or the lore lords are probably uber excited, but it's just not stickin on me too much.
Like Endwalker which resolved all conflicts, it seems this expansion so far seemingly has no greater bad/evil you have to defeat (yet).
