Blizzard is hosting a Dragonflight Developer Roundtable with Ion Hazzikostas and Steve Danuser, with Taliesin and Evitel hosting the event on Twitter Spaces. We'll be liveblogging the event! You can listen to the event on Twitter Spaces. Here's some of the biggest highlights are as follows:Lessons Learned Some of the biggest things that they've learned is «no borrowed power».

Players were looking at all the toys they were going to get and were looking at those abilities as things that they would have to give back at the end of an expansion. At the end of Shadowlands, the changes that they've made is not just a bandaid, it's a philosophical shift. In Dragonflight, nearly everything will be account-wide — linear narrative will be optional on a second character.

Dragon Riding will be account-wide as well, while things aren't fully fleshed out yet, if your Dragon has learned extra talents or traits, we don't want to force you to re-earn those on your alts. We know that many people are going to have 70 alts the first week of the expansion, and the system should be the alt-friendly one right from the beginning. Dracthyr Lore Experience You find out that you've been asleep for a very long time, and so the directed experience is one of discovery and finding out what happened to you and befell your leader, Neltharion aka Deathwing.

Many of the other Dragons didn't know about you, Alexstraza didn't even know about you. Dracthyr Starting Zone The Dracthyr starting zone will be used for something more than just the Dracthyr starting zone, it's part of the World.
