I’m not very good at this whole Dragonflight thing so you will have to excuse my descriptions, but I guess you will get what I’m talking about.

Where did my adventure into Dragonflight get to last time… Thinks. OK I had ventured previously into the cavern to meet up with the blue dragon guy and Khadgar but they refused to give me any quest. What I discovered was they they also appear outside the cave and that’s where I should have gotten the quest. Duh.

So I eventually defeat that big dragon and do the next bit zapping everything from on high. So the blue dragon guy and his mates tell me we are regrouping over the other side of the map and just fly away like I’m going to follow some how. I stand there all on my own , well with my silver tabby by my side, and kinda say Hello, anybody. Where did you go ?

OK I make it to the shrine thingy place where he and this chick are having a natter. And so all I get then is direction to go meet with Alexstrasca upstairs in the big capital place. OK I really hate these dragon things so I take the flight path to the capital.

I’m getting quite excited about the next chapter. So stay with me.

She isn’t there. There is no Alex woman up on that level. I note from the map she is out of town aways. Sadly I just can’t ride those dragon thingies. I got as far as I could with my ground mount then had to try and go over this waterfall. That was so funny. I got so high then ran out of those egg thingies and got stuck on a ledge. I must have had several goes till I got to the top.

She then leaves me to fight this big dragon. I’m a Blood Elf mage with a silver tabby cat. OK me thinks… Took me a while but I did it. So next we are off again even further away into a place I’ve never been.

You really have to see me fly a dragon. Its hilarious. Anyhoo I find her up on a platform but sadly I run out of eggs before I can land and finish up in the burning waters below and die. I then have to ghost fly. I didn’t realise these things went up in the air so I’m trying to ghost’walk’ a dragon on the ground.

I finally get to Alex’thingybob and she’s standing all on her own and then basically says if I can go in the dungeon place and kill Raszageth that would be nice and then walks away. Bit like being asked to go kill the Lich King if I had a spare minute in Icecrown.

Is this woman for real. I bust my gut with laughter as my humble crappy Blood Elf and my silver tabby considered the challenge ahead. Anyway I worked out that I will be back to this challenge sometime in 2027 when I am of a sufficient level to solo the raid. I really could have benefited from some kind of heads up that this is where the campaign ends so that I could have avoided the dragon falling to the ground so much and getting drenched and then burnt to death. Poor thing.

I saw the funny side. Final shot was of me and the silver tabby silhouetted against the dark sky standing on the edge of the platform reflecting on what to do now. Back to Exile and Level 1 me thinks. Happy days.

That made me smile today.

Love this!
(And sympathies - quite a few things aren’t sign-posted quite as well as they might be in DF)
Good luck with your future endeavours :slight_smile:

Only tried normal but yeah it did feel a bit easy up to Neltharion. Was fun though, I like it more than VotI.

My contribution: Patch 10.1.5 looks neat and it’s good that we hopefully won’t have to wait too long for it either. Really looking forward to dragonriding in the old world!

Reposted your pic since it looked broken.

Have a nice day!

Thank you :snail:

How strange, it works for me.

Twitter pics don’t seem to work for all for some reason.

Think i read a while back that wow took away the twitter functions they had so maybe thats why.

To stay on topic i smiled big when i realized i actually used a flightpath for no reaason today in a DF zone.

It’s the same in HC, though neltharion kinda hurts more. This tier being mostly aboot single target encounters makes it easier IMHO.

Warlock pet customisation is coming to the barbershop in 10.1.5 along with all races being able to become warlock. This made me smile today, as a warlock main.

Just had another awesome lfr experience. I feel like if people start off as nice it’s a way higher chance for runs like these to happen.

Queued for LFR trying my luck at the raszageth look, cause let’s be real, it’s pwetty :dracthyr_uwu:

Joined at Diurna, they had wiped a bunch of times, i think there were about 3 or 4 determination stacks? Something that made an impression on me however was, people were chatty! A bunch of us joined and said hello, people were chatting, discussing mechanics and how would we tackle the fight as we sort of have to split in 2 groups, I think?(Look I don’t know the fight, all I ever did when doing that fight was use my bonus button and drag a circle to an egg while dpsing the main boss and healing people and I’ve only done LFR this expansion. Maybe that’s enough, maybe i’d be called dumb for missing mechanics, it’s a bit late for that though :stuck_out_tongue: It’s 10.1 already and it’ll never be current unless we get fated 2.0)

Point is, it went well. Yeah, people died but communication happened and no raging while we took down the boss, even if it took a while as we had like 5 people by the time we killed her.

Onto Raszageth, the trend continued. People were talking, people were asking things, and those of us who felt familiar enough with the fight would do our best to explain to anyone who needed it, including constantly offering help - it made people feel comfortable enough to ask and do better, the atmosphere felt like it was a close knit guild run, not LFR.

Four wipes in total and seriously not a soul even considered raging in chat. Obviously we had people leave after each wipe but that’s to be expected - it’s LFR. Also I gotta say, I can do so much better as a healer, I feel like I might have dragged the group down and let a few people die, which might have cost us a wipe. By the end a few people even shared that this was their first experience ever in wow and I’d like to believe that they would try doing it again after this ^^

On top of it all? Someone even messaged me in private and said some super nice things.
I’m gonna also spam with screenshots as that seriously made my day better.

Sorry for my sloppy Paint work but I wanted to cover everyone else’s names to avoid creating any trouble for them
And yeah, if anyone from that run happens to see this, it’s Julianne indeed :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

Oh and something outside of wow: Yesterday I discovered that my favorite voice actor Johnny Yong Bosch(DMC Nero, Persona 4 Yu, Black Power Ranger and other awesome roles!) has a band called Eyeshine and it actually sounds quite good! His music was a good support during the run as well :dracthyr_uwu:

(Oh and thanks to whoever read this behemoth of a post)

Gulruuk walks into the barber

Gulruuk: Alright, I want you to shave my Imp, add some dreads on my Felguard, manicure my Succubus (and take care of her hooves), braid my Felhound, and add a glorious beard on my Voidwalker.

Barber: What.
