Dragonflight

In the simplest terms, the best thing about a talent system in a video game is the customization it allows you to apply to your character's toolkit.

The Dracthyr race is coming to World of Warcraft in the upcoming Dragonflight expansion, and it's looking like it might end up featuring more character customization options than any other race yet.

The beta for Dragonflight will see some significant changes for World of Warcraft, including a much-anticipated rework to professions which add work orders, crafting difficulty, and quality levels.

When Dragonflight launches later this year, it brings with it an expansion of the current profession system that promises to turn a lackluster system into a more robust and lucrative one.

In the latest talent tree preview for the next World of Warcraft expansion Dragonflight, Shadow Priests got a pleasant surprise: At the bottom of their talent tree was the option to cast your lot with one of the four Old Gods.

The World of Warcraft team recently unveiled a preview of the Priest talent trees for the upcoming Dragonflight expansion, and with it came a really cool surprise.

Since the very first release of World of Warcraft you've been able to acquire the game in a special Collector's Edition box, and for every expansion since -- as well as on the 15th Anniversary -- players can add a box of physical goodies to their shelf. Dragonflight, of course, continues this tradition with the standard art book and mousepad, as well as the more recent common inclusion of pins (which seems to be the go-to replacement for the late, lamented expansion soundtrack CD).

Blizzard is planning to acquire the Boston-based Proletariat Inc.

Dragonflight opened up for preorders this week, and the latest World of Warcraft expansion will continue the trend of previous expansions and offer a physical Collector's Edition as well.

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight expansion pre-orders are now available, and there are a few surprises in store for folks checking out the next expansion.
