World Of Warcraft: Dragonflight interview

After several expansions centred around cataclysmic, world-changing events, that have torn Azeroth apart, World Of Warcraft’s latest expansion, Dragonflight, has a different vision for the venerable MMO. Set in a high-fantasy land filled with dragons, centaurs, tuskars, and ‘crazy magic’, this expansion aims to return to the roots of Azeroth and the classic components associated with World Of Warcraft’s legacy.To get more news about Buy WoW Dragonflight Gold EU, you can visit lootwowgold.com official website.

Instead of throwing players straight into another apocalyptic battle, Dragonflight’s focus will instead be on deep exploration and adventure. The expansion hopes to emulate the ‘classic experience’ of World Of Warcraft, while adding dragons and new, modernised features.

Dragons have long existed in the World Of Warcraft franchise but Dragonflight is the first expansion to place these colossal creatures at its centre, as players journey into the secretive Dragon Isles. These mystical isles have been hidden away for 10,000 years and offer players a ‘renewed vision’ of how the creatures exist within the world of Azeroth.Players will have an opportunity to create their own dragon character, thanks to the new Dracthyr race. And if you are unsure about being stuck within the body of a winged, scaley reptile, you will be pleased to know that your draconic body has a humanoid form too, also with ample amounts of customisation.

Senior game designer Jackie Wiley considers Warcraft dragons to be ‘unique’ and the pinnacle of high fantasy. ‘World Of Warcraft dragons are such a special take,’ she told me. ‘As fantasy nerds, they are one of those cultures that everyone is excited to work on. I mean, who doesn’t want to make dragon stuff?’

Associate art director Tina Wang also offered her insight: ‘Players will be able to encounter dragons that you have not seen before. With the new skill of dragon writing, you will be able to collect four different types of dragons. And the first ever fully customisable mounts. Our brand new Wilderdrake comes with tons of customisable options.’

While paying homage to the original qualities of World Of Warcraft in terms of its lore, discovery, world, and character building, Blizzard will also be implementing some ambitious, if not radical, changes to the game. Players should expect to see a much more user friendly, modernised user interface and talent overhaul, and the opportunity for cross-faction play.

Striking the balance between nostalgia and experience is key. After all, World Of Warcraft is not the same game that it was 17 years ago. (Unless you play World Of Warcraft Classic, that is.)
