For Azeroth! Interview with Morgan Day and Stephen Cavallaro
Associate Game Director Morgan Day and Senior Encounter Designer Stephen Cavallaro spoke with Manny from the For Azeroth Podcast about the upcoming Dawn of the Infinites mega-dungeon in Dragonflight Patch 10.1.5, discussing its story content, end-of-heroic raid target difficulty, splitting into two Heroic dungeons in Patch 10.1.7, and Mythic+ versions coming in Season 3!
Requirements, Narration, and Quest Content The intent is for mega-dungeon to be available immediately upon release of Patch 10.1.5. There is prior questing content leading up to the dungeon, but those breadcrumb quests aren't strictly required in order to enter.As far back as Legion, there was an old school «attunement» quest, but they've heard feedback from players who want to immediately log in and try the new content, so while those quests still exist in narrative form, they're entirely optional. At some point, the story laid out in Dawn of the Infinites will continue in future content updates, but the team really wanted to ensure the bulk of the story being told is done so in the lead up quests and the dungeon itself, rather than spread out over several patches.
There are two main plotlines converging in Dragonflight right now — one of which is the Bronze Dragonflight arc with Chromie trying to protect Nozdormu from becoming Murozond. At the same time, the Primal Incarnate storyline is still ongoing, but the two overlap with Iridikron's plot in Fractures in Time.
Dawn of the Infinite brings those two storylines together. More quests will open up after completing the mega-dungeon as well, including «some encrypted things that players will have to wait until launch to see.» No spoilers though! Heroic and Mythic+ Coming Soon Dawn of the Infinites.
