The Dragon Isles

“The Dragon Isles are the ancestral home of the dragonflights of Azeroth,” reads the official description. “When the world was broken apart in the Great Sundering, magic drained away and the land went dormant. As the Dragon Isles awaken, so too do old feuds and long-dormant threats.”

WoW Dragonflight New Talent System, Professions Revamp, HUD changes, & More

Aside from all the new elements, the new expansion also brings a host of changes, improvements, and overhauls. The new Talent System will allow you to gain talent points when levelling up, which you can then use in two talent trees – The Class talent tree and the Specialization tree. The HUD (Heads Up Display) will receive a plethora of changes which will give players an opportunity to “move, tweak, and personalize UI elements like never before”. This all is, of course, just the tip of the iceberg, as there is tons of other new content, including new raids, dungeons, and much more.

    The Alpha isn’t even out yet and you think it’s going to come out this year. The only way I see that happening if they pretty much have the game already ready to go and they don’t need a lot of testing for it. Which I don’t see happening.

    1. Well, it turns out that the game is coming out this year!
