Continuing the Dragonflight Patch 10.2 hype train, MrGM interviewed Assistant Game Director Morgan Day and Senior Game Designer Patrick Scarborough, discussing Guardians of the Dream!

Story Updates

• Fury Incarnate are leading us into Guardians of the Dream, continuing the curveball thrown by Vyranoth in the recent cinematic.
  
• There will be a new renown track for The Dream Wardens, featuring (we believe) 20 ranks, similar to the Niffen from Zaralek Caverns.
  
• No planned updates for previous renown tracks, though that may change in the future. Right now the focus is on the Emerald Dream & Dream Wardens.
  
• Players may have noticed that each major patch focuses on both a specific Primal Incarnate and Dragonflight to tell a deeper story, such as Iridikron and the Bronze Dragonflight being the focus of Fractures in Time. Though Vyranoth is starting to play a larger role, Guardians of the Dream is very much focused on Fyrakk and the Green Dragonflight.
  
• New players may have missed some context if they haven't leveled older renowns though, such as the unlockable Green Dragon questlines in the Ohn'ahran Plains, so the team is looking at what can be done to help them catch up.
  
• Devs won't confirm if Patch 10.2 is the last major content patch, but have firmly stated that it isn't the end of the story either — there's more to tell after Guardians of the Dream and the devs are really excited for us to see where that takes us.
  
• Despite widespread rumors that the patch may release around the time of BlizzCon, the devs do not have a release date to share yet.
  
• Superbloom events are collaborative multistage public events similar to Research Under Fire in Zaralek Caverns or the Soup in Iskaara, featuring whacky powers like an army of rescued baby
