I just did the feels like the first time quest on my Pandaren Monk today. Sent me back to the wandering isle. I was able to escape and run around a bit. The new players saw me and were super confused. It was great. 10/10 quest.
lucky you, mine bugged out. It has sent me to Wandering isle but stopped mid-starting cutscene and sent me to gates of Stormwind. The disconnected me. Then sent me back to Thaldrazus. I appreciate the idea. I hate the bugs. Tried to restart the quest, same thing happened each time. Dunno, mey be it has been tied to my Legion monk campain?... It is finished and order hall is Wandering isle.
I saw screenshots of the murlock timeline, so i knew it was coming. Was a legit “wow” moment when we went to the black empire. The main story was phenomenal throughout with Alexstraza focusing on the eggs, but still showing she cared about the black flight. The bickering between Wrathion and Sabellion. The blue flight coming together. The crazy time travel shenanigans. And most of the characters felt genuine and believable.
Was watching your Valdrakken stream and saw that's it's like 10 years you've been doing lore. I don't play anymore, but always watch your content. Thanks so much from Australia, and congratulations on a decade giving us *WHAT WE NEEEEEED*
The dragon that appeared from one of the time portals is called Aeondormu, which is similliar to the infinite dragon Aeonus we fought in tbc, in black morass.
I really wish all the rooms you find with books and scrolls had ones you could read. I also think there should be a legit library in the game and a npc named Nobbel that tells stories.
That truely is a great idea. Besides central city and race libraries, small local random town and place ones should have random books and stories mostly usless local connected lore and stories and local history. Would be a cool addition. That really needs to be brought up to blizzard. Side quest ect could also be grown from them.
Ultimately, Nozdormu has to turn into Murozond to allow his own defeat from us in Cataclysm. If Eternus is Infinite Chromie (which is subtlety hinted) then it means that even Chromie will have to recognize that this is the only way to preserve the timelines from shattering.
One possible twist is that someone else could be Murozond. That's been done with a similar "see's the moment of his own death" paradox in Doctor Who. They didn't prevent the death from happening, but it was actually a body double. What I'm getting at here, is that Murozond could actually be Chromie or another dragon sacrificing themself for Nozdormu.
@@fallhayv8470 Nozdormu is destined to be evil, and is probably gonna become corrupted at some point during the expansion, so Chromie will take his place at least for some time, to either find a way to save him, or if he'll be killed - replace him
@@almas4663 oe they could pull out something crazy like Murozond isn't that bad, actually, and not really crazy. Or Chrome could sacrifice herself to save Nozdormu from becoming black and crazy. The latter option would be heartbreaking and totally nuts, but that is why I love it. Besides, even if they pull out Murozond I believe they will make him a final boss 2 expansions later, not now.
@@fallhayv8470 It's so weird for me to now realize that people call evil Nozdormu - Murozond. Lmao. Despite my fluent english, my native language is Russian, and in russian localization, an evil version of Nazdormu (Spelled with an "A") is known as Darnozmu
I feel like Nozdormu in Dragonflight has gotten the same treatment as John Snow in season 8. Just 1 or 2 lines he repeats, and a few other stuff to put a little flavor in. "My vision remains clouded". You probably need some glasses there Nozzy-boy
Kinda weird that Soridormi is just there being a passive character within the story. You would think that she would be taking a far more active role in what's going on since it concerns her husband
I believe a smart move would be to have Chromie be responsible for creating the circumstances that creates Murazond and then subsequently her rise to Aspect will be coming to terms with that.
Anyone else notice that Neptulon was missing from Black Empire vs. Elemental Lords war? The others were there, the water elementals were there...but not the Tide Lord.
The time magic brought my draenei back to Azuremyst Isle and since my character is boosted, the starter quest was still there and I picked it up before I was returned to the present time.
Really doubtful for some. Many of those rely on in-dungeon timers that spawn add waves and those, much like Dalaran's Violet Hold dungeons cannot work om m+ without redesign. They are also not as fun mechanically. The Cataclysm ones sound cool though. And I believe the one with Thrall's origin could also work.
I'm kind of amazed there hasn't been an expansion based entirely on the timeways yet. Not just alternate timelines, but focused on the whole Infinite dragonflight and the implied elemental plane of time. Awesome sandy environments and whatnot.
Murloc Deathwing dinged me 70, just made it even better lol Also looking forward to your video about those whispers because there was more than one voice! 1 obvious but the other, it sounds familiar but can't place it.
Resolving the current existential threat to the one true timeline. Getting Chromie back was the last big anomaly but we dealt with a bunch of other ones before that point.
Here's me hoping that Anachronos will have a part to play, and in the event of Nozdormu's fall, will be crowned as the new aspect as his lore always suggested.
Apparently N'Zoth knew But I honestly can't remember where I saw that mentioned I think N'Zoth noticed you came from somewhere else, maybe felt a part of themself on you considering the N'yalotha raid and being a smart old god when it comes to that type of thing put two and two together The others don't know
We know that the dragons, in order to restore Tyr, they need the discs that are lost in time, so...what if nozdormu knows that he has to shatter the timeways, so they can pin point the artifact location and find the discs, but he slowly fades into madness and hos sacrifice is to go mad and fullfil his destiny to restore Keeper Tyr
This quest send my DK back to the starting zone next to the LK. That was an interesting moment, standing next to a new player DK :D The whole bronze questarc was interesting and funny at times (Thrallgulgulgul was awesome :D)
As it is said, the Void can see through all possibilities, uncountable futures or just lies to fuel the madness brought by their influence. So I think it is possible that they could've seen their demise by the hands of the Titans and later by ours, but since it isn't a certain future they may have thought it wouldn't fulfill
@@Heron11177 Well it's 100% verified that the Old Gods live, plus all they are is just the Void equivalent of the Titan Keepers, and they're immensely more powerful than Titan Keepers are, so we have only seen a fraction of the Void's power. They are still the big bad of the Warcraft universe. More terrifying than Sargeras and the Legion, more terrifying than Zovaal and Death. We don't know who the First Ones are, or what they want, or if they're even still alive, but the Void has ALWAYS been our enemies. The only time we were "allied" with the Void, and I use allied loosely, is when we helped Xal'atath. But that wasn't us helping a friend, that was us being manipulated to do the Void's will, as we so often are. The Void accounts for all possibilities meaning they are the most dangerous threat, since most other Forces merely adhere to a single path. Remember that the Void has the Infinite Dragonflight on their side as well, as Infinite Dragons are seen working with the Old Gods, Void, and Deathwing. They have time travel powers, and plan for every possible outcome. They will win, it is inevitable. Until we stop Murozond, at least, which hopefully is this expansion.
Chronormu will be the reason why Nozdormu become Moruzond. 1- all the oath where inactive EXCEPT the Bronze one 2- I mean the titan asked Nozdormu to maintain and respect the "sacred timeline" the one the titan chose as the "real" one. During that timeline we know the Nozdormu is bound to become Moruzond, the leader of a Dragonflight who want to free themself from the "sacred timeline" Chronormu just said that he'll search all timelines to find the one where Nozdormu won't become Moruzond. But by the definition of the "sacred timeline" this timeline where Nozdormu do not transform, is not the sacred timeline, meaning choosing it will break the oath of the bronze dragonflight and there for transform Nozdormu into Moruzond. Which is why Nozdormu is proud and will always be proud of Chronormu, since he will be the one triggering the final vision of the titans.
Old gods offer him a cookie That's my offer Or the more serious they corrupt chromie/soridormi who causes the corruption as a swap places by changing the past
Maybe. I had started with the blues going down XD didn't even notice till nobbel mentioned the previously" at the start of one of the videos that I was watching outta order
@@andrewrenshaw2741 yeah kinda. Like no more Aspects of ea flight but only a direct ancestor of one remains like a great granddaughter/son. It will make the Dragons more a sight to behold kinda thing and how much of an impact it will bring for world development of WoW. But i guess that will only happens if something happens to the Pantheon.
Blizzard can sprinkle wholesome moments all they want, it doesn't fix what Shadowlands and Danuser broke. The very worldbuilding of Warcraft has been destroyed, there is no foundation anymore, it's like making a house on top of quicksand.
I don't think its as broken as you think it is. I'm not going to say shadowlands was good, but there are in-universe stated reasons for every 'plot hole' in Shadowlands I've ever seen identified. I think they have managed to salvage things.
@@lelandwhitehead56 - Then I guess you just happened to miss the thousand other plot holes that remain. The deeper you go into it, the messier it gets. So I completely get wanting to just ignore it.
Chromie on their visage day was asking others why they picked their forms, and apparently Chromie felt happier being a female gnome instead of being a male gnome, when you ask why their name is, Chromie is like I am Chromie this is me It's meant to be trans representation that they transitioned with their visage but the dragon is still male, just female visage

My homie Chromie being the most wholesome being in all Azeroth. Love them
I know my comment is newer but I freaking love the voice actor that did Garrosh, such a amazing voice. So hearing him with other characters is awesome

The pronunciation of the murlock areas was S tier.

Generally female consorts don't so much in WoW until their male counterpart has passed.
@@andrewrenshaw2741 I mean it works both ways. Alex's consort was not really impactful until he just died. Do we even know who was Ysera's?

The CC had me laughing pretty hard XD
Did the dragons used to have talking animations with moving mouths or am I misremembering?
Yes, for Dragonflight they decided to stop animating the mouths.
