Patch 10.2 Finale Cinematic Name Revealed in Latest PTR Build

Recommended Posts

Sn-mka-obrazovky-2023-10-14-o-20-46-36.j

The latest update to the PTR provides a clue to the culmination of the Emerald Dream storyline. Beware, spoilers ahead!

Although we can't playtest the concluding chapters of the Emerald Dream campaign on the PTR, an update to the SceneScriptPackage database file has revealed the title of the final Patch 10.2 cinematic. The content remains encrypted, but the title offers a glimpse into the upcoming narrative developments.

Titled "New Moon," it's speculated that Amirdrassil might transition from the Emerald Dream to Azeroth, potentially providing the Night Elves with a new sanctuary. This would be a fitting closure to the Dragonflight expansion.

Given that the dilemmas of all the dragonflights are addressed in Patch 10.2, it's widely believed that "Guardians of the Dream" could be the expansion's ultimate major content patch. What do you think?

Quite a strange ending, I didn't initially expect this expansion to end with Emerald Dream. Does it mean all remaining Incarnates are going to die (except perhaps the one who defected) in this patch? It would feel more "proper" to me if there was another content patch outside of Emerald Dream that would wrap it up.I hope this whole story with Primalists will be over at least. They aren't interesting enough to keep them around any longer.

Without knowing ANYTHING (obvs) I'd say that Vyranoth probably helps us defeat Fyrakk, likely sacrificing herself. That just leaves Iridikron who, most likely, will be the bridge into the next expansion - kinda like Gul'Dan was with WoD into Legion.

Raszageth is dead, Fyrakk is about to be, Vyranoth joins the Aspects, Iridikron threw his lot with the Void. 
I think it's pretty wrapped up?..

But we aren't fighting Iridikron in this patch? So it would seem they intend to keep him for next expansion. Not sure what's going to happen to Vyranoth, will she stay with the Aspects and just remain there?

Why wouldn't she? She was pissed at Alexstrasza for a number of reasons, but the latter seems to be remorseful enough (well that, and Fyrakk trying to screw over the world) for Vyranoth to join the Aspects' side. Plus there's that datamined spell that suggests Vyranoth might become one herself, and there are plenty of protodragons around that can form her Flight. 

As for Iridikron, I think it's a good thing they keep him for now. He does have a vibe of being the mastermind-type villian, but unlike the Jailer or N'Zoth he's pretty down to earth about it - power and species included. So, he doesn't underestimate 'puny mortals' that have toppled plenty of higher tier creatures than him, and rather plucks the strings - much like the whole Abberus deal was less about empowering Fyrakk and getting a faction of Dracthyr on his side and more about keeping the Flights distracted from what he's up to.
 
Well, that said, he's also joined up with Xal'atath and the Void. It would be a disservice to waste him and this development for a 5-man dungeon or storyline, now would it?

Makes sense, she could lead remaining proto-dragons, so they would get equal treatment next to other dragonflights.

One thing which is inconsistent about proto-dragons is that they were initially depicted as non-sentient (Aspects and Galakrond were an exception, when proto-dragons transformed into dragons their intelligence increased), yet here most are capable of speech. Lore of the dragons is weird anyway, like there are these storm dragons in Broken Isles or Cloud Serpents in Pandaria (and also another animal named cloud serpent, but unrelated to dragons).

Unless they kill him in another 5 man dungeon in next expansion. 😜 Personally, I don't find Iridikron that interesting to keep him around. Perhaps he does have a bigger plan, but he could easily end up as just another pawn for the Void Lords. Maybe he will get corrupted and go insane, but this would have been the most obvious and boring way to end his story. Basically another Deathwing.

      It's game over until next week for 9 players who've earned every available achievement that grants points! Congrats!
      The ongoing Northrend Cup has introduced new achievements for players to complete, and as we all know, some players are incredibly dedicated when it comes to racking up achievement points.
      The latest one is osatox, who proudly shared a screenshot showcasing 100% completion of all point-granting achievements!
      Placeholder for tweet 1785906134521671737 According to Data of Azeroth, there are currently 9 players leading the pack, having 'beaten the game' so far by mastering every available achievement that gives points.

      As you're likely aware, "beating WoW" is often short-lived. The next achievement points await with the arrival of Patch 10.2.7 next week! Keep an eye out for further updates!

      Due to bugs, Blizzard has decided to extend Children's Week by one more week to give players more time to finish the meta-achievement!
      The event will end on May 13th, 2024 instead of May 6th.
      (Source)
      We’re aware of and working on issues with the Children’s Week holiday. Specifically, we’re fixing bugs with the holiday’s quests as well as fixing an issue with the What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been achievement not properly granting the Master Riding skill.
      Considering the time it’s taking to complete this work, we’ve decided to extend the holiday by a week to make sure everyone has plenty of time after the fixes.
      Thanks again for your patience and understanding.
