Warcraft

In a rare inside look at how the Warcraft team puts together WoW's timeline, Lead Narrative Designer Steve Danuser not only put WoW's history on a timeline -- he also stated, in no uncertain terms, we'd be having a bit of a time skip between the end of Shadowlands and the start of Dragonflight.

World of Warcraft players are all experts on keeping track of complicated timelines.

I'm generally pretty down for storylines in my games that swing the focus as wide and cinematic as it can get. Legion, for example, was a story I really enjoyed -- the invasion of Azeroth by a vast, world-spanning host of demons which led to a showdown on a planet seething with fel corruption between a Pantheon of beings on the scale of gods and their fallen former champion, who sought to potentially destroy our whole world.

A look at the Ohn'ahra Plains from the WoW Dragonflight alpha.

The switch from elixirs and flasks to phials is not the only exciting thing happening with the Alchemy profession in Dragonflight -- two new potions have been added that, notably, can only be used by or on a dead player.

I've been spending a fair amount of my time running through content on a variety of Warriors in Dragonflight's alpha, from a series of premade 70s to an assortment of 60 to 68 characters I've created.

Now, this is in no way, shape, or form anything Blizzard is responsible for.

Flying mounts became part of our lives again in Burning Crusade Classic, and flying continues to be a big part of the game in Wrath of the Lich King Classic.

This large, muscular NPC is not one of the four available body types for Dracthyr in World of Warcraft Dragonflight and frankly, it should be.

With the return of the Mobile Auction House to the WoW Companion app, I am now thinking about how much of World of Warcraft could be likewise made accessible via an app, and how much should be.
